Last Day Before Convention
Today is my last day to prepare for Convention. There's a lot to do, but things are pretty much under control. Yes, you can remind me at midnight today when I have "just one more thing" to do!
I'm taking my airplane bunnies to the vet. The certificate is not supposed to be required, but too many people have said that they were asked for one anyway. I don't want to take chances. Plus, that will get me an acclimation certification (bunnies are okay down to 20 degrees), which may be required.
If you are going to Convention and will be at the HLRSC banquet, don't forget to bid on my auction item: the design and development of a deluxe rabbitry website! It includes a year of free maintenance. If you've been thinking of having a website designed, now is the time to jump on it.
I am taking a laptop to Convention with me and will try to stay awake at night long enough to write my BLOG. We'll see how well that works. I tend to have a hard time staying awake long enough to eat supper, so it will be a challenge.
I still have to pack my clothes, wash some bunny dishes, pack last minute items, including enough feed to get my bunnies through judging. I'm still working on a little booklet to go with my auction item. I still haven't checked tattoos. That's my least favorite thing, so I tend to put it off as long as possible.
I'll rack my brain trying to think of the one thing that I'm forgetting. I will lie awake tonight wondering about what that thing is.
I'm going to miss a lot while I'm gone. The kids are so disappointed that I won't be here for Halloween. I've never missed it before. The puppies should open their eyes while I'm gone. I have newborns in the nest box who will be huge when I get back. One nest box needs to go in while I'm gone, too (I know, bad planning, but Andrew said it was okay).
Last night, I dreamed that I had to go home from Convention early, so I didn't know how my rabbits had done. I got a cell phone call from someone who was trying to tell me what happened, but the call kept breaking up. So, my crystal ball is just not working. As always, I feel like my bunnies can't possibly compete with the incredible competition that will be there. It just seems so improbable.
The good thing is that I'll have fun no matter what happens on the show table.
