These Are Two Of My Favorite Things

I had put the tea kettle on the other day to make iced tea, then sat down to read a bit using my Merlin CCTV. After a few minutes, I felt Piper on my foot. He had walked across the floor from where he had been playing with his toys, and climbed onto my sneaker. I reached down and picked him up, and he began to preen himself while perched on my right index finger. Seeing that he was content there, I decided to continue reading.

The Merlin has a movable tray under its monitor. You place your reading material on the tray, then slide the tray as needed to view the rest of a line, page, etc.

My right hand occupied by a comfy little parrot, I began using my left hand to move the tray. The kettle began to whistle, and I said to my husband, "Would you please get that? My hands are full with the two of the things I love most."
