Weekend Off
September is a tough month if you show rabbits frequently. There are shows every weekend, at least around here, and there's much temptation. There's a show this coming weekend in Chattanooga, but I just have to show SOME restraint somewhere. So I'm staying home.
Already in September, I've been to McMinnville, TN, Fletcher, NC, Greensboro, NC, and Washington, PA. I will also be visiting Columbia, SC, and, although it's not technically in September, I will be going to a nearby show in Winston-Salem, NC, on October 1. That's six locations in five weekends.
So, what will I do during my weekend off? I'll sleep until noon every day, take rejuvenating strolls in the woods, and catch up with my relatives. NOT.
I have a club constitution to finish drafting. I've got my entries to Convention to finish up, including changing some details on my airline reservations. I need to start a to-do list and a to-pack list for that trip, too.
We have the third aisle in the barn to convert over to the PVC water system and cages to wash. The third aisle itself will get a good pressure wash.
I desperately need to take new pictures for my website, though I know I'll never get to it. I'm showing a number of rabbits right now that aren't on my website. I'd love for everyone to see them. We'll see if I can get to that.
I'm maintaining several websites for different rabbit breeders and I've gotten a number of changes to do and a number of pictures to add this weekend. I'm also starting a new project, the ARBA District 6 website. I'm extremely excited about that.
I still haven't unpacked my suitcase from last weekend. So, I've got a lot of unpacking and repacking of supplies to do as well as aprons to wash.
And then there are those carriers from last weekend still sitting there. Andrew does pressure wash them for me between each show, but I have to take all of the dishes off of them, and he likes it if I remove all of the paper tags for him, too. And, of course, there's the huge pile of rabbit dishes to wash.
I have new babies in the barn, nine of them so far. So, I've got babies to check on and does to rebreed. I hope when I go to the barn this morning, I'll have a few more surprises as well.
So, I guess I'll have to get up early, work late, and get everything back under control before I hit the road again next weekend, and the weekend after that, and the weekend after that . . .
