Ok, so this is a quick over view of what has happened since getting back from AX. I haven’t done much cause, well, life has gotten in the way. Fair is in another week and hopefully my life will eventually slow down enough to stop my head from spinning.

Three days after getting back the last of my Flemish giant rabbit (who I’d had since she was bore, and her pedigree was nearly completely filled with my name) died after contracting an infection while I was gone… I’m not gonna go into detail cause it was rather gruesome…

Then a week later Liz and I found a stray feral kitten, whom we’ve named Fuji (and Liz affectionately calls him Fujums) after we washed him with apple scented dawn soap to get all the fleas and mites off ( and then had to de-flea all the other cats in the house -_-; ) after he haled himself up into one of the couches and runs at the sight of either of us xD he’s slowly getting better but it’s a really long process.

Fair is coming up so it’s like “SHOWMANSHIP, SHOWMANSHIP, SHOWMANSHIP!!!!” with my rabbit, and there’s the display board to put together and the box that needs to be painted and the tags that need to be cut and pasted, and have I mentioned the shirts?

Oi’vey! I’ve never failed at something so much in my ENTIRE LIFE! We’ve gone through 3 screens a bucket of white paint, a Yudu machine and about 20 t-shirts before FINALLY getting it right!

Word of advise, it’s your first time screen printing? You doing it in your storage room? Do not, under any circumstance, do dark shirts with white ink… just… don’t. Or at least don’t do it then expect them to come out looking brilliantly white, cause that definitely not gonna happen.

And of course, last week, my beautiful 3yr old Chocolate Lab, Kahlua, starts limping after jumping off into the pool. We took her to the vet, he gave us pain pills, said make her stay in the house for 2 weeks, if she’s still having problems, come back in and we’ll run x-rays to make she doesn’t have what’s called Hip dysphasia. It’s very common in labs and is a debilitating genetic disorder where the hips socket isn’t formed right and if not treated will cause lameness. There’s treatment for it but it consists mainly of rigorous and extensive surgery to replace the socket. I Don’t know if that’s what it is, I can only guess. But I do know that she’s still in pain, and that’s my greatest concern at this moment.

Liz and I have been working at a raging pace since school let out in April, and now summer’s coming to a close and fall semester starts back up at the end of August and, it may be weird to say, but I couldn’t be more relieved. With school coming all the event’s I’m involved in will trickle to a stop and I can finally stop for the first real time since April, when at last moment, we decided “well, lets go for the gold! We’ve never done anything like this before and we’re already on track to go to AX lets do a test run at Fanime!” And we made our supply for Fanime and AX, thinking we wouldn’t sell very much and would have plenty for both cons to nearly selling out of EVERYTHING and having to restart only a month before AX.

I really can’t wait for normalcy to set in once again….
