Wednesday, February 12

Went in to work for most of the day. Greta walked home and Lucia stayed for musical rehearsal. Tonight Lucia had tutoring, then we took Farrah for a walk and watched an episode of Lost.  

Not having the NY Times app on my phone anymore made a huge difference today. I looked at the news while I was at work, but I didn't check in every time I had my phone in my hand. A relief. 

Both pets caused some drama tonight by getting into Greta's backpack and eating some chocolate she had in a pocket. Farrah ate a few Hershey's Kisses, and I found Nutmeg in the bathroom with a wrapper and remains of some kind of "Turkish delight" mini chocolate bar. Did Nutmeg eat it? Did Farrah carry it in and eat it? Did Farrah deliver the chocolate to Nutmeg, a team of thieves? There's no way of knowing. We found another of these, uneaten, on the floor of my closet. Where did "Turkish delight" chocolate bars come from, anyway? Greta swore she'd never seen them. 

Nutmeg is acting fine, hopping around and eating hay, and Farrah is mopey but that's because Andrew is gone. I really hope we don't have a pet emergency in the middle of the night. I did a search for "chocolate" in one of my bunny Facebook groups, and, like absolutely every topic, there was a haphazard mix of responses, split between the "my bunny eats entire chocolate bars every single day and is totally fine!" category and the "my bunny touched her teeth to a miniscule piece of chocolate and died instantly" category. I don't want to lose a night of sleep, checking in on Nutmeg through the night, but that may be inevitable.
