Oh Yeah, By The Way, I Adopted An Angora Rabbit.

I have a really good friend, blumzieluxuryyarns who breeds and raises angora rabbits.  She had this one chubby little satin angora bunny named Bunny who had infertility issues, just like a certain author that is writing these words right now.  She offered to give (!<3!) her to me, because she needs rabbits whose lady bits work right.
At first, when I brought her home, I wasn't sure it was going to work.  She got an insanely bad UTI that was made worse reeeaaaaly fast because of the stress of moving, so she ended up peeing blood.  Not good.  Plus when our puppy got near her she flipped out and scratched at his face and grunted at him.  I took her to my vet, who is so awesome, and sees all kinds of animals, like hamsters and bunnies, because he is tired of people treating them like disposable pets.  She got a shot (that she took like a BOSS) and got some nasty smelling meds that I had to force feed her with an infant syringe.  Little by little she got better, and we moved her into the garage on a pedestal, where she has her own space, but we bring her inside about every other day.
Bunny, now mostly known as Honey Bunny has calmed down a lot.  She flips out if she doesn't get food fast enough, which includes her throwing her food dish around, and anything else not secured to the wall, and a diva-like huff and a body move (that thing huffy prissy women do) fit for a movie starlet, lol.  She likes Teddy... in that she wants to hump him now.  Which with long claws hurts. Teddy keeps more of a distance now, unless she engages him in play in the living room. We gave her a blankie, and now she won't let anyone mess with it :D She uses it for cuddles, and to hide her treats, chewies, and toys.  We are now in the process of getting a custom hutch (bigger hole for her).  We also got her a chest harness and leash that she's getting used to.  With my new dosage of meds I was able to go outside in the backyard with both fuzzies for about ten minutes. I consider this a big win.  I love my new dosage.

Introducing: Honey Bunny!

 Just chillin' in the corner under some windows.

And for some added drama(and hilarity), have this:

Whistle While You Work

I've been cleaning.  And cooking.  And cleaning.  And drying herbs.  More cooking.  More cleaning.  Not just surface stuff, the deep stuff.  I'm also helping a friend build a yarn swift.  He's designing it and doing all the hard stuff, I'm helping where I can.  I wish I could do more, but what can I do?  Next is building custom shelves.  I'm changing lots of stuff up and moving furniture.  I'm even getting an elliptical that someone is getting rid of.  That will help with working out, so I'm happy.

Happiness Is...

All right.  After writing and deleting the first few sentences of this about five times, I'm deciding to open up and share something.  I have had a struggle for years with crippling depression and anxiety.  I have managed to finally get the depression part more or less under control, but that made the anxiety worse.  Much worse.  And opened the door to new problems.  But one thing at a time, right?  Anyway, I've been seeing someone, andI finally agreed to try some medication.  I have had bad luck (example: no bad, but no good emotions) with medications in the past, and that made me very nervous to try anything else.  Now I'm starting week five of my two new meds, and I think they may be working.  Others see it more than me, but that's a good thing, right?  So I'm redoubling my efforts to live.  I'm spinning more, spending some time outside, knitting again, finding more ways to actually enjoy things.  It sounds great on screen, but it's an ongoing process.  Side effects are worth living with, even though it will make getting to a healthier weight harder.  I already had issues with balance, so less balance is no biggie.  Things like that are worth more life to me.
Anyway, that's the big thing that has been going on in my life recently.  I hope it made sense.

On a more cheerful note, one thing I'm doing is actually trying out the whole 'selling' thing on Etsy.  Not much is on there, but I'm taking it slow, trying not to have a panic attack about doing this.  So yeah.  Maybe I'll even figure out how to add it to the side of the blog one day.  If you feel so inclined to check it out, my name is peanutbuster.

I hope you all have a great day, and enjoy it for what it is.
