Recharging

Twisk comes up to hop around almost every night. Sometimes I bring him up and sometimes Rob sneaks him up and I find out he's upstairs when I hear, "Thump, thump, thumpity, thump!" (It's hard to mistake the sound a bunny makes when it hops - or occasionally tears - around.)

Once, while I was on the stationary bike downstairs Rob snuck him upstairs and put a stuffed toy in his cage. I came around the corner to go upstairs and saw a stuffed cat in Twisk's cage and it took me a few seconds after, "Wha . . .???" to figure out what was going on.

He was great about using the litterbox until the cat peed in it. I washed it out (with vinegar) and filled it with fresh litter but except for hopping in every once in awhile he hasn't shown any interest in using it the way it was intended. Stupid cat.

I got an even closer up shot of this picture and sometime I'm going to paint it. Right now I'm on Day 6 of my Detoxivacation and so far all I've wanted to do is cook, bake, and peruse raw and vegan cookbooks. My family is over the moon happy about all the baking. So far I've made 7 loaves of bread, 2 batches of muffins, a pan of blondies (they have sweet potato in them . . .shhhhhh), a potato dumpling soup, sushi in a bowl (I forget the technical name but man oh man it smelled so good that the next day I kept thinking, "That meal was so good. I can't wait to make it again" before I remembered that I didn't actually EAT it.), baked tofu, some stuffed bread "pockets", I think I'm forgetting something. Anyway, I've run out of flour. Again. My family probably wishes I'd stop eating more often. LOL!

I'm shooting for 10 days as a minimum and 20 as a maximum. It will depend on how quickly I detox. One thing I've discovered. If your life is rushing past you and you want to slow it down just stop eating. Time will literally drag. Man will it drag.
