Well, kind of a vacation. Will and I went up North (der hey) for a few days. We left on Wednesday, dropped off the bunnies at my mum's, and will be coming back and picking them up on Sunday.
We went up to Clam Lake, Wisconsin. It's a place in Wisconsin where they released elk in 1995 and they now have a wild elk population. They released 25 back then, and I guess there are about 150 now. We've just been driving around, looking for them. We also drove up to the Porcupine Mountain Park in the upper peninsula of Michigan. The closest "town" to us is Hayward, and there are only 2,000 people in it. I am a goddess up here (I guess). I keep getting doors held for me by complete strangers, and the guys are just a lot nicer up here. Will loves "showing me off". It's been fun.
We saw a few elk (well, it's the same one, and we've named him Tito). We also saw some bald eagles, common loons, ravens, peregrine falcons, porcupines, deer, and a fox. I'm probably missing some critters in that list, too. We are going to go out later today and check out some more back trails.
As far as the bunnies go, they have been fine. I let Toby out in the bedroom a day or two before we left and "forgot" to let Will know. I guess Toby jumped up on the bed, hopped over to Will, jumped on his chest, then flattened out for head pets. When Will ignored him, Toby stuck his whiskers in Will's face. Will broke down and gave him head scratchies.
As far as I go, however, I've been better. When I was in class on Monday, I almost passed out. For those of you who don't know, I am in school for phlebotomy (blood drawing). I hate needles (well, I don't mind being the poker, not the pokee). The teacher was showing us what can go wrong with the needles (jabbing them in the rubber arm, wiggling them under the rubber arm's skin, etc.), and I felt my stomach lurch, I got serious tunnel vision, and then I had to hurry up and sit down. I had to sit (then lay down on a cot) for over a half an hour. My teacher bought me a soda to help me get less shaky. It sucked. I hope I can get over that. It's never happened to me before, and I've had lots of medical stuff going on since I was little. I've watched myself get busted up, get stitches, get IV's/blood draws/vaccines, etc, and I've never passed out. So, needless to say, I'm a little embarassed.
I will do a proper update when I get home (most likely on Tuesday). I am driving home on Sunday, and I have school all day on Monday.
Yup, no bunny updates. I'm on vacation.No bunster updates....?...! :?
That's just not right....
