Bunny Tea


6:40 am
                It is such an incredibly decadent luxury to wake up and lie here abed. I will need to get out of the habit once summer starts in earnest. But for now it is very luxurious. And of course tomorrow I will not be able to do it, as I must get to work at 9. And for several days after that I will be grading the exam. But for today I have NOTHING to do for work. Does not mean I have nothing to do…..
                Yesterday, before leaving at 11:30 (supposed to be at 11, but…) in order to have time to get to the gym, then the class on Google Drive, then get bunnies to the library tea and then to the accessibility services bunny event and then my study session, I managed to do more cleaning of Dylan. And I cooked a bunch. Let’s see, I baked the cookies that I had mixed up Tues night, and I baked the bread I had started. But the dough was too wet so I ended making one normal loaf on the baking tray that ended up kind of flat, and then put what would have been 2 more loaves into a bread pan. It did rise a bit but not a lot, and it rose more when I baked it. We’ll see how it is when I try to slice it for toast this morning.  
                Dylan’s coat is so dense and he is not plucking readily. It is a bit short also. So mainly I have been combing out the thick mats that are around his neck area. He has a lot of Giant characteristics which makes him so hard to pluck. I’d like to see how the new white babes look as they get older. I have a lot of male babies this year. I will see how the 3 fawn ones look and may keep one of them. And I may keep a different white male, too.
                All that described above pretty much took care of the morning. Well I also did some laundry and dish stuff. I only had time to run for half an hour. And that time of day there were no music videos, just shows. MTV had some stupid reality type thing on – an offshoot of 16 and pregnant – VH1 had something about Pink which turned out to be interesting, but I prefer music. And to be honest I am really sick of hearing about Jessie Ware. Everywhere I turn she is being interviewed or talked about as the newest big thing. And they only ever have her singing the one song that she sings in the video in which she oh so slowly turns and turns in her very tidy bun. It is a really boring video and I find the song pretty dull, too. Ok. I got to the Google Docs class and it was pretty good. I took notes on a computer they had there with a nasty keyboard that was so very loud I felt like I was bugging everyone, but too bad since it was their stupid computer. Then I went back to my office and hung out until the librarian came to help me drag the buns to the library tea at 4. It was a big hit as ever. These are undoubtedly THE most photographed bunnies in the universe. The Stimpson room was a bit of a mob scene. But a well-mannered one.  A former student was there and she did her bunny hypnosis so ended up with a bunny fast asleep upside down on her lap. Very cute. Oh and by the way, we need to try Pho Saigon restaurant in Springfield, they say it is very good.
                So after the library bunny tea, we hauled the buns to AccessAbility services for their event. I got supper at Blanchard and hung around until it was time to walk over to get the car so I could pick the buns up for the study session. Which turned out to be really fun. There was quite a group and we went through slides, then talked chicks, then went over drosophila, then abc model.  And they held buns.
                It is luxurious to lie here writing, but to be honest I am getting really hungry! I wish I had some nice quark, but it all ended up going bad when I was not able to eat much. I guess I’ll have to get more started.
