I look out my window and what do I see...
I remember a few years ago, I saw a movie where as the character was passing into a "nether realm" she saw a dove bathed in white light, I guess symbolizing something. This morning, I had one of those moments. But instead of a dove bathed in white light, I had a pigeon.
I woke up and headed over to the window to check what the weather was going to be like. Unfortunately, I only have half a window screen and I always assumed that my window curtain could act as a screen for the half of the window not covered by a screen. I pulled back the curtain and I feel the flapping of wings and cawing in my face. I'm screaming bloody murder as I run backwards heading to unlock the door. I run downstairs to our maintenance man, sans bra and shoes.
Shayna: SALAAAAAAH!!!!! Zeh ohf b'cheder sheli!!!! (There's a chicken in my room!!!)
Salah: Zeh ohf?
Shayna: miming a bird I don't know!!!! Bird! Cheep cheep!
Salah: Oh...zeh tzipur (bird)!
Shayna: L'azor li! Maher! (Help me! Quick!).
Salah and I run upstairs to try and find the bird flying crazily around my room. He keeps trying to catch it, while I am hiding in a corner. Finally, he swings a broom at it and it flies out of the room. Needless to say, I'm crying (I don't do nature unless it is on Animal Planet or behind a cage). Salah leaves as quickly as he came in. The bird of course left a present. On my pillow.
