Bedtime Bunnies

Well I had a really good 2 weeks with next to no migraines...it was awesome.
But 3 days ago head pain set in once again and my best laid plans have been waylaid!
But I will get back on the horse tomorrow the best I can
& if not tomorrow then as soon as I can!
Tis the life of an acute & chronic migraine/headache sufferer...
Always having to accept that plans change...
Always having to accept our physical limitations...
BUT that is a conversation for another day.
 
I really wanted to show you my bedtime bunny.
Ha ha...is she not just one of thee most adorable creatures ever
(and that's not just me being biased cause I am her mama, ha ha)

 
Every single night we walk into the bedroom to find Teela sitting on the bed,
patiently waiting & knowing that her dinner is on it's way.
(She eats on the bed whiles Yuuji eats on the floor...or else she gobbles up both dinner plates!!!)
She knows that after her dinner it's usually bedtime tea time with mom & dad,
so she stretches out on the bed & knows to wait until the tea is cool enough for her to have a sip.
Then she stretches out again and wants snuggles & pets for about 20 minutes,
then she jumps down to the floor to snuggle up with Yuuji under the bed for the night.
(Then by 8am she's chewing the walls to wake us up for breakfast! She's an endless pit!)
 
Its' the most precious routine,
minus the wall munching of course!
 
Rabbits are alot of work, they chew alot of stuff, they destroy alot of furniture,
when you have more than one & they aren't bonded they pee everywhere their not suppose to
BUT at the end of the day, they are just pure sweetness...just bunnies being bunnies.
 
I just had to share some of the sweetness before heading off to my bedtime bunny.
Sleep sweetly & Dream deeply
& hopefully, if my head allows, we'll see you back here tomorrow with a new painting.

Bunnies Bunnies Everywhere & Finally Routines

I love those moments where you sail on out from a chaotic time
and realize that without even noticing when it happened,
you've finally found a new balance and new routine
and that the new balance and routine makes you happy.
I truly love that.
 
That's how I am feeling about the rabbits today.
We knew bringing 4 newbies home would be crazy for awhile and it was, hugely.
Especially since we choose not to cage our babies whatsoever.
Needless to say our home isn't exactly 'guest friendly', not with so many bunny gates up!
 
It's easier now that Teela & Yuuji are paired off. We're still hoping to get Frenwyck in for a trio.
Whiles everyone has their own main room...we now have a nice routine  of each bunny getting other
rooms and hallways for so many hours a day.  It's fun for them & keeps them happy.
 
 
I love knowing that as soon I get up in the mornings, Teela and Yuuji will have the living room whiles Frenwyck has the dining room and back deck.  Then 2 hours later we switch.
Whiles Flynn enjoys his on personal kitchen deck, he gets out in the living room after 5 usually until bedtime which is when that room becomes  Jin and Jaks extra play room.
It goes on like this all day, gates moving and changing and bunnies zooming here and there, ha ha.
I love the stabilizing feeling of a routine with the bunnies...finally!
 
I've started a brand new studio routine too.
(my honey is a project manager so he gave me some smart advice)
I am feeling like I can strive and really achieve some things with this new routine
and whiles it's very new, I am excited & enjoying it.
 
Anyhow...I've once again learnt that it's a balance of trusting that everything will fall into place
in it's own good timing but also checking in from time to time to make sure your not
being lazy with things also.
It's an interesting tricky dance once again isn't it, ha ha.
 
Do you find the fall a perfect time to inspire new routines like I do???
