Rabbit me

This has been Petey's pose for the past few weeks. I think he is feeling a little crowded with all the bunny activity lately. The new rabbit (we named her Emma) is causing quite a stir even though the others haven't even seen her yet. They can smell her. And that is enough to send territorial, insane rabbits into a frenzy. Petey alternates from hiding under his blanket to sitting outside the bathroom (where Emma is living at the moment), at the door, like a crazed celebrity stalker waiting for an autograph. I will be moving Emma upstairs soon in an effort to hopefully restore some kind of order downstairs. Let's hope it helps.

In other news, I have been feeling a bit like Petey these days. I go from wanting to hide under the covers to running around a like a deranged freak. I'm in a bit of funk and it's not fun. I've always been a pretty good stress manager but lately (OK, read that as for the past five years) my ability to deal has been tested. Certain ongoing situations mixed with financial difficulties and my own workaholic-deny-everything creed makes for a rather unholy trinity. I know these situations are temporary and just knowing that provides some comfort, but the meantime is not friendly.

So, in times of feeling vulnerable and down I will turn to my virtual (imaginary?) friends. I want to thank everyone for the wonderful, encouraging comments that you make on my blog posts. I don't always respond but that doesn't mean that I don't read them and don't appreciate them. I truly do. And lately they have meant more than ever. So thank you. :)

(A special thank you to Lisa. I hope I can continue to inspire you and others to pursue the things you love. It isn't always the easiest road to take. But they say that nothing worth having comes easy. Your kind words lifted my spirits, so thank you. :)
