twisted mysteries: Ramblings as Ever

8:15 am

Here’s something surprising – I feel grumpy and overwhelmed! Well I’m going to write and maybe that will help. I’m also eating breakfast while I write because I feel kind of sick to my stomach and hope oat bran cereal will settle things. The fair, which is in less than a week, is of course a big part of the overwhelmed thing. And last night we went out to the pub (where mostly we talked about worrisome things) and I drank a glass of wine and left feeling pretty crappy. And then could not sleep last night which has been happening more and more.

Anything good? Well maybe new bunnies in the next few days. We’ll see. Which brings up another concern – the rabbit ordinance. Sounds like it will be put off yet another day, to come up wed maybe. Should I prepare somehow? And how? And what the hell do I do if it doesn’t pass? And what the hell do I do if it does? I’m down to 13 adults, one of which is Radish who will be leaving soon, and Onyx who also should be leaving soon, and Caruso who I hope to bring to the fair. And will I be able to set up my tent at the fair? So damn many rules to follow and keep track of.

I guess after I write and feed buns I will run. I ran yesterday and the day before. Maybe I should put that “ran.” I went for about half an hour – just barely – and ran most of the time, but also walked some. Still it’s a start. And harder than doing it in the gym, but it is do-able and a lot easier than driving down to South Hadley.

The ToDo list is massive. Mostly fair stuff. Mostly gathering stuff and organizing stuff at this point. I warped massive numbers of stick looms and passed them all off to B. I must check on how many needle felting forms I have and if I need to make more. I’ve been obsessing about the surprise spinning contest, and I think I will just do One Handed. I don’t know if she has done that before. But I need to gather materials for those, like roving measured out for speed spin, and figure out what I need for knitting. Oh blah it is all making my stomach hurt.

I weaned Cassandra and B. Cream’s babies a couple of days ago. That gives them a full week before the fair.

One of Cassandra's

Another of Cassandra's - though she was fostered to Bavarian Cream

I just need to find a cage for weaning Crystal's.

These are Crystal's. They are definitely ready to wean

I think I would be ok with weaning Amber and Beatrix’s few, since they are so huge. They will be young – only 5 ½ weeks, but they are big and robust, so I think they’ll be fine. I don’t think I’ll bring any litter of tiny bunnies because everyone wants to keep peaking at them and it is hard to manage. IF I have any tiny bunnies.

I will drive in to set-up night with R tonight. That is good. C will be back soon an that is great. I got together with A a couple of times last week. We met at Starbucks to write. I think we may try to make that a regular Wednesday thing, though we need to find somewhere better that is not so noisy with music. I found it quite distracting. I think I had better get to it and feed buns. And run? Funfunfun.

Just for the fun of it I will post a few Corgi photos:
