Its turning out to be one of those everything goes wrong couple of days.
Something's wrong with the car she won't start. Spent nearly 5 hours putting with junk on and around the battery cuz dad said that should be whats wrong. Nope. No dice. So now I'm waiting for the bus to take me to work :'( just to find out it doesn't arrive at my location till 8:04 I gotta be to work at 8:30... Nearly forty minutes away. Blaaaaaagh!!!
OK current rant done. Sorry guys!
I'll have to work extra hard to figure out positives today!

Yeah!! Our lady astro of travel has been fixed!!! :weee
And today I got the first batch of green beans from p.o.w.w.o.w. blanched and in the freezer and set up the electric pressure cooker and got it tested out so now it's ready for working!! :D
Now I just need to set up the dehydrator and get some stuff started drying as well as some more ball jars and such for canning :D
Oh! Does anyone have tips for using up cucumbers?.? P.o.w gave us a whole bunch of the long plastic wrapped ones and I can only eat so much tatsiki (I have horribly misspelled this word I know it!)

Hope everyone's been doing well and have been having good times!! :ya

OK, I'll probably do two posts for this one. One of my rabbits, smokey I think has an inner ear infection.
From what I've read and researched on its very likely. (I unfortunately do not have any cash to go to the vet at this time ;_; )
Anyone who owns rabbits, can you please help me out? I've read there are a few medications that can be given
Baytril, zithromax (azithromycin) and bicillin
Which would be the best do you think to use? Or if anyone has better advice maby?
She's got one ear down and does not make any response as if she hears from that ear, but she acted that way when the twinnie got her so I wasn't sure if she was just deaf in that ear. Her head is now tilted towards the 'deaf ear' and when she walks she sometimes drags one foot behind her and rolls sharply. I see no discharges on her nose or from her eyes (past a normal little eye 'boogers') I didn't check her ear but I will do so as soon as I return home. Any help will be appreciated! Thank you again in advance!

So I hadn't yet got any feed on suggestions for Smokey's illness but I went to check her today and weirdness!!

No weird ear (I looked, saw nothing.) And more weird she's hopping just like normal again and her heads not tilted anymore!! She's eating fine as well (actually quite heartily!) So I'm not sure if she just freaked out so much because I picked her up, she's kinda skittish- and traumatized herself in the process? Super weirdness to me.

Phew its been busy day.
Sale Saturday at work done and accomplished.
Some Christmas gifts bought but not wrapped :/
House cleaning done a little bit. Some in the kitchen and the dining room. We have a dining room again lol.
Got some jalapeños in the dehydrator, gonna pulse blend em in the blender when their nice an crunchy then have jalepeno powder to add a Lil spicy kick to stuff.
Tomorrow I know I need to do some gift wrap as well as a little crafting of things as well as a full day of work but feeling kinda lazy.
Hope everyone's doing well and have a good day/night!!
