Two steps forward and one back, the dance of my life, Rabbits liking their new digs.

Poppie spent the afternoon making rabbit feeders and waterers.  We hadn't had time to order feeders and waterers so Poppie upcycled some.  I am so proud of his ingenuity.  He dug through my kitchen garbage and fished out some vegetable cans.  He got out his tin snips, washed the cans and removed all the paper, then went to snipping.  He fashioned the cutest litte tabs to secure the feeders and the waters to the cages so the rabbits wouldn't spill the food and water out.  He soon had them all cut out to his liking and then went out to the cages and secured them in.  He filled them up and the rabbits looked at them as if to say what are those? and why are those in my new cool cage?  The first one, who was braver than the others stepped forward to check them out. She saw her food and went to eating.  The others soon joined in and all are happy with their new feeders. We will see how they work out before I decide if I need to order some, but they seem to be doing the job just great.  We have decide we may make nesting boxes that are in the bottoms of the cages sort of a hole in the ground so to speak. That way we don't take up space in their cages, we can close them off when they are not nesting and they will be permanent and not something we have to take in and out. Poppie is now figuring out how to make my idea a reality, that is how most of our ideas come about or  we bounce ideas back and forth and come up with a shared idea, either way Poppie ends up building them.   He is good at fabricating something out of nothing, or what most people would see as nothing, king of upcycling in ways.

My cold is getting a little bit better but I coughed and pulled a muscle so am sore, now it is much harder to cough as I don't want it to hurt, more than normal that is, if I crouch forward and take the pressure off the muscles it doesn't hurt as bad.  The less I cough the better. I am done whining now.  Bubbie went back to the doctor, she is still early in the process, her lungs are a little worse, she is taking nubulizer treatments every six hours.  She still may end up in the hospital, she is happy, alert and eating just her little lungs are clogged up and she has a terrible cough.  She is much like the rest of us but it is only dangerous in the very young.  She won't be two months until the 9th so it is very dangerous  for her.  Prayers for our baby are needed. 

Booboo is still not going to school this morning, her cough is a little better, her tummy is still giving her fits but that is more her normal than being sick.  We are going to have to go back in to see what is going on with her. I am hoping it doesn't turn out to be precursors to  colitis, ulcerated colitis or chrohns.  It seems to be almost hereditary in the family on some levels.  My sister, nephew, and both older daughters have one or the other of these.  It still seems to be set off mostly by chemicals in the diet.  We are careful not to have any obvious ones in our diet, so when she is set off we have to dig to figure out where the upset came from.  We sometimes find a chemical sources we didn't know of before or they were away from the house and had something we didn't provide.  Maybe the NyQuil could have set her off, that might just be the culprit this time.  She has taken the pepto and is starting to get better.  Have a great day and remember to praise the Lord for you blessings and trials, they all make you a better person and who you are... tomorrow.
