Big Storm Coming

8:30 am

                Slept so late today! I suppose bc of the dark mornings. Which I assume will change tonight when we go off daylight savings.

                Busy day ahead and wow tons to do:

·         Wash dishes and at least marginally clean the kitchen

·         Laundry laundry laundry

·         Pack for the farm

·         Feed buns

·         Grade grade grade

·         Drive up to the farm

·         Figure out plans to see the cuzes

The grading is of course the most important, but I can do that at the farm once we get there. And the reason for going is bc the England cousins will be in Williamstown, so at some point, I’m thinking maybe Sunday am, we will go over there for a visit. Maybe we can do bfast or something.

                I am actually really tired. Well, I just got up and immediately started writing. In the living room, but no nice fire to sit by. There is apparently a massive storm coming mon or tues – a hurricane that is heading up the coast and we may be hit. For some reason they are saying there may be snow, exactly like the huge snow we had Halloween of last year. So we will see what happens. We have plenty of wood, plenty of food. The biggest problem will be if the electricity goes out and the freezer does not work. Must keep working on the dehydration thing. I could make more rabbit jerky if need be. And I just got our meat share, so I will thaw something from that to take for supper tonight. Sausage? Or the steak? I am also thinking that I will bring a big bag full of hats to offer to the cuzes. They can each choose one they like – I think that will be maybe 5.

                The rest of the blood lab went well enough, though the staining was not great and I have suggested we get rid of that old stain and get some new.  I now have massive chunks of data that I need to send to them all. And I decided to ask a little survey to get more info, and so I will have to compile that too. At least the assignment is not due until week after next. And next week we just confer about their independents so, although I still have blood stuff to put away, I don’t have anything big to set up until the urine lab. And then that is the last one that has a big set up. Just lots of grading to do.

                Last night a person came who had called about a bunny. They had wanted the chocolate “baby.” I had to clean him up as he was quite tangled, and as I was doing it, I found that he had this rather big lesion on his ear. Not sure what it is. I decided to clean up the white male (that I had intended to keep myself) so I could offer them that one instead. Then I soaked the ear and tried to clean it up. It is odd, it is not just a scab from a cut, but looks actually tumorous. Now I am wondering if it could possibly be from a bott-fly?? I didn’t see any little larva, but it could still be very small. I should have done the vasoline thing to see if anything in there poked out. Well, they really wanted the brown one, lesion and all, so I sold it for less than usual with instructions that if it got worse they should bring him back. We’ll see what happens.
