New Baby Bunnies!

7:15 am

                Well here’s an amazing thing. It is 7 am, Monday morning and it seems that I have time to write! I suppose it is because I bust my butt all weekend to get the exam page graded and finished last night at about 10. So, although I still have a full set of virtually untouched drawings to grade, I decided I would work on them this afternoon and tomorrow (I think I can crank them out) and write this morning. Shall I also meditate? That would truly be miraculous.

                And here’s even better news: BABY BUNNIES! I now have 3 litters. One is quite old – nearly 4 weeks, the others are only a week. I have a bunch of deaths, it happens. But to look more positively, I have 16 that appear as of now, healthy. Of course those week olds are still very young and you never know. I had one large litter that lost all but one, so I moved some of another large litter in with the one and they all seem to be doing well. It is heartening.

                Not so great but related stuff: the new bylaw will be going to Town Meeting in May. It was pushed forward by some folks that want to make it easier for people to have backyard chickens, and is a great idea, but they included Rabbits in it and it is a bit wonky for rabbits. Not to mention that, although I’m sure that technically what I am doing is not allowed, well, no one has complained. I figure that the town, if someone complained, would tell me I can’t do it, but if none of the neighbors has a problem, then why make a fuss. But now, I will have to register my rabbits, for $10 a year, and have the health and animal officers in town come and inspect things to be sure I am following whatever rules someone has set up. It is a total pain and I have a feeling that whether or not I am following rules will depend on how picky the officers are. And the rules are written for chickens. At one point they required a certain amount of fenced space per animal. I hope they took that out, as I am not planning to let my rabbits run in the yard in a colony set up. The whole thing is a pain if you ask me. I had thought of suggesting that they take the rabbit part out, but I do not want to make a fuss and then have someone say that I can’t have rabbits here.

                                I am feeling a little jittery this morning. I think it is because I decided to switch around the antidepressant. My doctor put me on Welbutrin instead of the Zoloft. I think it may actually be better, but we may have to adjust the amount, because I do get a bit of these jitters sometimes. I am supposed to be taking half of the Zoloft amount also, at night, but I keep forgetting. Morning is easy, I take everything – vitamins, calcium, vit D, and the anti-depressant all together when I take my lovely morning psillium. But I am not in the habit at night. Maybe I should do it when I brush my teeth.

I feel like it would be good to expand my friendship base, but, again, being so damn busy makes that hard. I am worried (of course, why not just worry worry worry) about summer and how easy it will be put everything off until then and then have the summer completely fill with random stuff like cleaning……. In other words, I have not cleaned for months……

                Ok gotta get a move on.
