Buffy takes it 6 months at a time

Buffythedebtslayer

Ok.......so went out to do some work on the garden and shed...........Was looking at the broken window....and sort of leaned on the shed and the whole thing moved. Significantly. As in when I let go I thought for a minute the whole thing would come down towards me. I will have to get someone to look at it I suppose. I don't know. 
so yeah. Going to bed early.

I am not well. 
No temp or cough. 
Sore throat and earache, tho the earache has lessened. I also feel really sick. And was sick last night. Unpleasant. Very little appetite. I hoovered and moved the washing round. Kind of abandoned mum to everything. ordinarily I would have carried on but am a bit worried it is covid - I know it isn't but I feel so dizzy and achy so keeping away from mum a bit. I mean we social distance anyway in doors but I don't really want to be in the same room if I am ill. 
I need to clean out the animals. but not for a few hours.

sidebar........one of the rabbit groups I am in, a woman just posted her new rabbit housing. 
It cost over 2000 pounds. And don't get me wrong it is amazing and incredible but she still has to paint it and fit it out with some tunnels and equipment. I was stunned. I mean the rabbits have cost a ridiculous amount in vet fees recently and over all their housing has cost me but that is over 5 years.  And it doesn't have to be that expensive!

I'm all for spending money on pets when it's warranted but £2k for rabbit housing is daft.  Some people need their heads wobbling.

Hope you're feeling better, are you still keeping your food diary?

It is right? Sometimes I think I lose perspective as this particular group is full of people with money to burn. Mental when you could buy a shed and aviary (bigger space) 700, an aviary and a hutch for about 500 - same amount of space. If I could go back in time I would definitely do the hutch and aviary thing cos you could put that all up yourself. 

I am still keeping a food diary and I think sugar and lack of water are the main culprits. Hot spicy food - depends on what I have with it. 
I can't believe it is 6pm already. ugh.

They have money to burn. 

What’s wrong with a good old rabbit hutch!! 

Buffythedebtslayer

Well........Beanie...........since you ask  a pair of rabbits need access to 60 square feet of space at all times. Hutches if they must be used should be 6 by 3 by 3 (or it might be two for the width) and need permanent access to a large run minimum 3 foot high. 
There is only one hutch that pets at home to meet this standard and they don't have a big enough run, so then there is one on amazon (where else!) but both are always out of stock. Plus for a similar price you can buy a small shed. And then the crazy begins!

Also sticking to cats!

Sorry to hear you aren't getting the support you deserve Buffy.  Happy isn't a competition or a cake - how much one person has doesn't make anyone else less deserving.  Everybody deserves and needs their own joy. 

Re the rabbits, if the solo thing is a problem then is there any way you could prepare for that and see if anyone would take one when the other has gone?  That would potentially leave you free as you prepare for a move. 

Big virtual hugs and virtual cake (which fortunately also always has enough for everyone)

Somewhat wishing I had done that! never had a cat. 
I watered the garden. that was it. I now feel so tired and achy! 
No temp no cough. So am going with tiredness. Slight sore throat. 
D head has backed off almost completely. His father is gravely ill and he is obviously rightly focused on that. That time is so hard. Oh so hard. So I am leaving him to it with the occasional check in letting him know I am here. I can't say it doesn't hurt but everything is so hard with covid and we are both exhausted from work now too. Plus I am trying not go out to new places so that is another thing to consider.
