8 am
Very very
late and time to get a move on. As in: eat breakfast, take my psillium, feed
buns, take care of some laundry work, then get started with (or continue with)
my efforts at going over the urine lab data. I went in to work yesterday and
did some of it there, but I need to finish up and decided to stay here today
and do it from here. Oh and I need to bring the car into the shop to get some
noises checked out. So I might take it in, then walk into town and work at Raos
or somewhere. And I’d like to meditate, which I might do pretty much
immediately before anything else.
Trouble
is that I’ve been obsessively reading a book As Nature Made Him that was on the take it or leave it table at
work. It is about a man David Reimer who as an infant had his penis removed
after a botched circumcision, and he was then raised as a girl. Very unsuccessfully
as it turns out, so then he finally decided to transition to male. It is a
story I had actually read about in child psych class at NA State many years
ago. And of course it is utterly fascinating on many levels and so I have been
reading it non-stop. Sometimes I feel like when I get an obsession like that I should
just go with it until I finish the book. Which I will soon but it is time to
get a move on.
I am
hoping I will also have time to do some bunny work today. A number of them need
to be either plucked or at least cleaned up. Oh, here’s a funny story: I went
out to feed them kind of late last night. It was dark, and I saw a bunny sized
shape moving around on the walk way in front of the cages. Not sure it if was
one of my bunnies or some wild critter, but soon discovered Bart’s empty cage,
so that answered that. And the reason I left it open is another funny story…
but to continue, I wasn’t worried about it, he was just hanging around nearby
so I figured I would finish feeding everyone, then chase him down. I went along
down the row of cages, and finally got to the last one. It is the big long low
cage with the attached hut that I divided into two. There is one of the white
babies in the long wire part, but no one in the hutch side, and both the wooden
and wire doors to that part were open. I fed the white bunny and that is when I
realized that Bart had jumped up into the other side of the cage! I guess he
figured that was the best way to get his supper! Sure made it easier on me. As for
why I forgot to close his cage – when I went out in the morning to feed, I found
the traveling cage that I had used to transport Bathsheba to the fair on the
ground on its side (so on top of the door) with a squirrel inside! Poor thing
was jumping all over trying to get out, presumably he had gone in to get the
bit of food lift in the food dish and the cage had fallen over onto the side
with the door so he couldn’t get out! I called L out to see, then flipped it
back over and he raced out and into the trees.
So those
have been my exciting adventures. Now time to meditate, eat, feed buns etc etc
etc.
