Weekend Recap
To answer your question - no. No, I did not get nearly all of that done this weekend (see Friday's post). In reality, my weekend went a lot differently. Yes, I did get one coat of paint on Anna's trim and Lydia's room is finished. Andrew did move all of the work supplies out of Anna's room, so It is looking a lot more like a bedroom again instead of a work area. But that's about it.
So how did I spend my weekend?
Friday went according to plan. My sister and I went to a romantic light comedy and to my favorite restaurant - Thai. We have decided to go out about halfway between our birthdays each year as our way of celebrating. I'm not much into gifts - I hate shopping and I'm happy if I never get a gift.
After that, things went very differently. I got up later than I should have. I did get the painting started, but then a ballroom dance friend called and we talked about our club and dancing for over an hour. She mentioned that there was a dance that night. That's when all bets were off.
We had to dress and leave by a little after 6:00 p.m. and got home around 3:00 a.m. I may as well have been driving home from Conyers, GA! But we had a great time and ballroom dancing includes Andrew for more than cleaning and loading, so that was wonderful.
Of course, I slept too late on Sunday. As for barn chores, I did wash enough crocks to swap out water dishes for every bunny. I checked on May's singleton (we lost one on the wire and the other two were peanuts). I have a nest box warmer under the box and it is working well. Until I put it in, May sat in the box all day long. I wondered if it was because it was comfy or if she was actually trying to keep the kit warm. Since the nest box warmer has been in there, she's been sitting atop the box and not in it. Hmmmm. Maybe she was trying to protect her baby. It seems so anyway.
I needed to start breeding again, but I didn't get to it.
A good deal of my afternoon was spent finishing up a proposal on sale rabbits at Convention to be presented to the ARBA board of directors. I sent it to Eric Stewart this morning via email (my district representative). You can read the proposal by clicking here. I used the results from a recent survey on the new rabbit survey Yahoo! Group to guide and support the proposal.
Whether you agree or disagree with the proposal, please let your district director know how you feel about the issues.
If you are an ARBA member and want to be part of future surveys, please join us. Simply include your ARBA number in the message part of the process for joining.
So, I wrote, danced, painted, and cleaned the weekend away. It was actually very delightful, including getting the proposal done. There's nothing like checking off a task complete.
But in reality for the proposal, it is just the beginning.
