One Week Until Disneyland
Mar. 10th, 2013 11:12 pmI am really excited to be going back to Disney. It's the first time I've done anything like this since before my knee surgery 12/09, so I know it's going to present a challenge, but we will be renting a scooter for me, which will help and will allow me to jump most of the lines. And I get to see Amy on the 19th while we are there.
It's going to be a crazy week before we go, though. I've got to get Mom trained on caring for the rabbits. On Wednesday I go back to the sleep doctor to get the results of my sleep apnea test. On Thursday I go to the dentist to get my permanent crown. I was supposed to get it last week, but the one they sent was yellow instead of tooth color so the dentist sent it back. Friday I see the physical therapist and I will need to clean the rabbit cages before we go down to Seattle Friday night. We fly on Saturday and then Sunday will be our first day at the park. Also, T's birthday is Wednesday so I need to bake a cake Tuesday. He is turning 13. I can't believe he's going to be a teenager! Where does the time go? His voice has been cracking for the last week. It is so cute. Of course, I don't tell him that. I need to get my hair cut and colored at some point. R needs a haircut. T wants me to cut his hair and I'm sure Chris will, too. On top of that I have homeschooling.
Rabbit care does not take much time, fortunately. I just need to rinse the water bottles once a day and make sure the bottles are full again at night and once a week wash them in soapy water and rinse well. I put the appropriate amount of feed in the hopper in the a.m. and again in the p.m. Every couple of days I will remove the bins under the hutches and put the droppings into one big bin for garden use when we rototill since rabbit manure doesn't need to be composted to be used. I put hay in for them to eat as well as for bedding and then clean it out as they soil it, right into the bins under the hutches. And every day I touch their backs to see if they are getting enough to eat. A rounded back bone means they are, a pointy one means they are not. Then I touch each of the kits to get them used to being handled. Leo has sharp nails. I need to buy a nail trimmer before too long.
So busy week, but hopefully I will be able to accomplish everything. Except probably writing. Well, I will try to work it in somewhere. At least I can write on the plane.
