The Morning After

Some Saturdays you just want to be lazy.

This was one of those mornings. I was FINALLY able to get a full night of sleep! Which is no small matter for me & certainly hasn’t been the norm for the past few months. I didn’t sleep entirely through the night, but almost! Getting nearly 8 hours of slumber is worth celebrating in my life!

Still with the dawn comes responsibilities.. like breakfast.

This morning didn’t feel like cereal or any of the normal choices. Time to get creative!

So I made what I will call the Morning After!

Starts with a leftover steak, chopped into small pieces & heated in a small pan.

Added in a couple of eggs & a splash of my favorite steak sauce.

Cooked the eggs almost fully then tossed in some provolone & colby cheese!

Heat til the cheese melts.  I went ahead & warmed my bun while the cheese melted, but this might also be just as good on toast (If I had a loaf of bread in the house at the moment!).

Then just enjoy!  Preferably back in bed with a glass of pomegranate blueberry juice.

Next time I will &  I HIGHLY suggest adding spinach.  Maybe even some red pepper chunks.  But for this time.  This was perfect for this morning.

Just after finishing up breakfast I got the best surprise!

My own personal blue bird of happiness, my budgie Bongo, FLEW across the bedroom!

I know birds fly… but this is HUGE for him.  He LOVED soaring around my house more than any bird I know. Around the time I was going thru the second surgery on my hand this past summer, I discovered he had blood on his beak.  He had gotten injured under is wing.  The only thing the vet & I could figure out was that he had gotten hung on a perch that had calcium & gotten chewed down.  He got several different medications & check ups.  It healed but I was told due to the way it healed, he most likely would never be able to fly again.  Broke my heart.  He seemed to have adapted but I could tell he missed doing laps around the room with his cage mate.

Lately he has been trying.  Tends to end up in a giant leap a couple of feet with a nice landing on something close.  But TODAY HE FLEW not leaped ACROSS around 14 feet!  He hasn’t gotten turning in flight but he did stay up! I’m so happy for him.

Back in Action Again

Also gives me more hope.  I can over come my own injuries.  Even if they say I won’t… who knows.  No one can say for sure.  One thing I can take from Bongo.  If you want it, you have GOT to keep trying.  Otherwise you haven’t got a chance!
