The desaster began in the middle of the night when one of our dwarf rabbits - frightened by the storm - began to stamp. Now I don't even hear it so I wouldn't wake up. But hubby. This way he's the rabbits "mom". They stir - he's bolt upright in bed (only very little exaggeration here). Ok, this time she continued stamping, she seemed to be really frightened (I do feel for a little creature not knowing what's going on. But less in the middle of the night.). Usually it helps if I tell them that everything's going to be okay and we take care of them (I'd say if you tell something like this you get the soothing voice they need to hear. And it makes much more sense than to try that soothing voice while reciting the technical details of your favourite car. Anyway.). This time it didn't. Maybe she felt that I just wanted to go back to sleep and wouldn't be much of a help thereafter. So I picked her up and we cuddled a little bit - until the other one made a noise in the cage and she fled. 1.4 metres to the floor (>;.<;).
End of story: Hubby stayed up with them for a little bit until she calmed down. He couldn't have slept anyway.
As usual, morning came a little bit too early. Still, we made it to be not too late for work. They just skipped one regional train this morning which I didn't notice because there's only one information sign at the beginning of the platform. Fortunately I have to go into the city so it resulted only in a detour. And even more fortunately I didn't have to be at work that early so I even managed to just take it as it was. And I knew I would still get my breakfast coffee.
Outside it's cold (11 degrees Celsius) and wet. Didn't like it at all while waiting for the bus.
Didn't get the e-mails I was hoping for in order to keep the 1 1/2 weeks before my holidays as stress-free as possible. Spirits sinking very low.
Then Mondnesday decided that it took it a little hard on me and sent me some non-announced sunrays. I accepted the apology.
AND in my lunch break I decided to not just buy lunch and return to my desk but go a little further to the water. And Mondnesday offered another apology: lots and lots of swans and ducks (and doves but city doves have a very mean expression so I don't like them).
Nevertheless, I have to work late since my colleague is on holidays and I hate that. But my mood could be much worse!
the best treat at my old job was the lake nearby. it made the day go by so much better when i was able to eat lunch by the water and feeding the ducks and geese before i had to go back to my desk.
ReplyDeletesome folks like to take their kids to bed with them when they get nervous at night... did you consider snuggling up with the bunnies yet? ;)
I've considered it but they don't want it :(. I can only assume that it would be reaaaally soft and comfy but as soon as they read my thought they are already hiding under the sofa ;).
