</div><div><br></div><div>So this past week has been emotionally exhausting! On Labor Day I noticed that our rabbit Percy was acting different. He wasn't moving much at all and seemed incredibly weak. Percy is 7 years old which is similar to a human in their late 50s. I noticed he tried to get up and couldn't, I went to pick him up and the panic set in. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div></div><div><br></div><div>Normally Percy will tense up and sniff me. He isn't a big fan of being held so I generally don't pick him up. This time, however, Percy felt wrong. He felt like he weighed nothing, no muscle tension. He was lethargic and just not acting right. I held him for a bit while I panic cried. It was a holiday and vets were closed. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><br>I cried some more. Mostly because I didn't know what was wrong. I was able to connect with a vet online and we started texting. She was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about rabbits. It seemed like we had the possibility that Percy was going into G. I. Stasis. This is a very dangerous thing for rabbits and if left untreated its a painful way to die.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div> </div><div>The vet reccomended, of all things, to feed Percy Libbey's Pureed Pumpkin in a can. We needed to get him to eat something and fast. He of course refused. I had to make the decision to hold him down and use a qtip to put bits of the pumpkin into his mouth. He hated being held down, i hated the fact I was stressing him out but I had to try something, anything!</div><div><br></div><div>Thankfully Percy ate the rest out of the bowl on his own when i left the room to give him a break.

Over the summer Justin and I have been able to enjoy watching adult birds teaching their fledglings how to forage for food. I felt incredibly lucky to be able to capture a sweet moment of a male house sparrow feeding his fledgling.</div>

Another "ugly" bird. <a href="https://www.birdlife.org/asia/projects/helmeted-hornbill" target="_blank">Sadly these birds will likely go extinct due to poaching</a>. The crest on the bird's beak is considered "red ivory". They have been hunted mercilessly to make random jewelry or carvings. Males are most often the victims and due to their nest habits, if a male is killed his mate and their chicks starve to death. </div>

</div><div><br><div>Tomorrow marks our 9th week in social isolation. I'm trying my best to cope.</div></div><div><br></div><div>The beginning of every new week of this pandemic is an emotionally exhausting affair. Especially coming off the heels of a major death in my husband's family; not being around to support or comfort my mother in law with losing her own mother is heartbreaking. </div><div><br></div><div>About 2 weeks ago my mother in law had to get tested for COVID19. A coworker of hers had tested positive and the entire building had to be closed for cleaning. My mother in law had been feeling ill herself. After a couple days the results came back negative for COVID19. What a relief. The thought of my mother in law being seriously ill or in the worst case scenario, passing away was absolutely terrifying. I am so thankful she is okay. I love that woman with every fiber of my being. </div><div><br></div><div>So far all of my immediate family are still doing okay and staying safe. After 8 weeks of closure their church is opening for services again under precautions. I'm a bit nervous for them, but glad that their church is enforcing the 6' rule, masks and no hugging or handshaking. </div><div><br></div><div>I must say I feel like without getting sick, the one who has suffered the most from this pandemic right now in my family is my 21 year old sister. She had just started attending an out of state college to pursue her art degree when the pandemic hit. The college ended in person classes, and a lot of students returned home. My sister stayed because she had a job. She was able to live in the dormitories, meals were provided and online classes started up.</div><div><br></div><div>Now that the semester has ended my sister is back home. I feel for her with the frustrations of trying to adapt to a new environment and make new friends only for the virus to disrupt things. I really hope the pandemic ends in time for her to return to the college and continue her art degree. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi everybody!</div>
<div>
Life got really weird really fast, didn't it? As of this past Monday our state is in a shutdown, with essential workers only. Some businesses are complying... some are not (Looking at you <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/hobby-lobby-told-managers-denied-employees-paid-sick-leave-memo-2020-3" target="_blank">Hobby Lobby</a>) It's definitely soul crushing to see wealthy corporations and their owners putting profit above people. <b>It's even more disappointing when they use God as an excuse to not take care of their employees</b><i> <a href="https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/3/23/1930316/-Hobby-Lobby-founder-tells-workers-that-God-spoke-to-his-wife-and-forgot-to-mention-paid-sick-leave" target="_blank">HOBBY LOBBY. </a></i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Before I get too upset I'll move on. My husband has been able to work from home, which I am so thankful for. His daily commute was an hour to work and an hour back. He has had a few problems with the programs randomly freezing but hopefully they can get that resolved. The literal only downside to him working from home has been that my artwork desk has been commandeered by his equipment. I was in a painting groove so it does suck a tiny bit. I'd rather have him safe at home though. </div>

I will definitely have to make a future post about getting back into art. I've made quite a few pieces in the past 6 months. I think my perfectionist tendencies were a big reason I stopped making art. One of my sisters is a professional artist and I think I was seeing her work as so mind-blowingly good that there was no reason for me to do art. I now realize that was a dumb mindset. </div>

We've been keeping in touch via groupchat with family. Video calls often get interesting once we start playing with filters (my dad loves them!) It is hard not being able to go visit my parents, my siblings, my niece and nephews and my grandparents. Same goes for Justin's side of the family. I'm so glad video calls and instant messaging exist. This pandemic is horrible and scary but at least we have ways to keep in touch with one another.</div>

I hope you all are staying safe. This is definitely a life changing experience. I don't think things will ever return back to what we knew as "normal". <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/03/19/coronavirus-effect-economy-life-society-analysis-covid-135579" target="_blank">Life is going to change for everyone</a>. We will start seeing cases of extreme germaphobia, anxiety about illness, anxiety about having to go to the doctor or hospitals. Some people will develop agoraphobia or obsessive/compulsive behaviors. This pandemic is going to cause <a href="http://www.healingcollectivetrauma.com/" target="_blank">collective trauma</a> and <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/post-traumatic-stress-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20355967" target="_blank">PTSD</a> for people. It's going to affect our economy in the way we work and the way we behave. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope for positive changes too. There is so much potential for positive changes. New advances in sanitation and medical tech and science are going to happen. Schools, businesses and churches could start figuring out ways to continue being more accessible for invalids or people who can not leave their home for other reasons. There has definitely been positive changes with levels of <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/mar/23/coronavirus-pandemic-leading-to-huge-drop-in-air-pollution" target="_blank">pollution being lowered</a> around the world. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
COVID19 absolutely stinks. Its horrible, its killing people, leaving some survivors with permanent tissue damage, ravaging life and family. I desperately want to believe good things will happen because of this nightmare we are in. I hope it does. </div>

</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Hello Everyone!</div><div><br></div><div>First off, wow things are moving really fast in my state. Within four days we went from 1 confirmed coronavirus case to 41 this morning. With the limited availability of test kits I'm certain the actual number of infected people is much higher, not only in my state but the rest of the USA.</div><div><br></div><div>Now that the president has finally acknowledged the severity of the outbreak I hope to see more people take it seriously. I've seen several social media posts of people ignoring the advice from the CDC and not taking this seriously. </div><div><br></div><div>I already said this in my previous post but I'm going to say it again. You could feel totally healthy and absolutely fine AND be carrying the virus. The people you'd come into contact with will get mild to severe symptoms. Our grandparents, newborns, immunocompromised and cancer patients are at high risk. The coronavirus kills through pneumonia. Please be responsible.</div><div><br></div><div>I know for some people of faith (particularly evangelical ones) in the USA it is easy to say "oh, just trust God!" and still go to church and church functions. Yes, we are trusting God but we also need to be careful. Do we not use seatbelts? Smoke alarms? Get stitches for a deep cut? Teach our kids to not run into the road? Everyday we make choices to keep ourselves and our families safe. This is no different. </div><div><br></div><div>It is not fun to be stuck at home. But its something we need to do. The faster we slow the spread down, the faster our medical services can catch up and get ahead. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Before you know it though, it will have passed and we can resume a sense of normalcy, people who would've died will still be here. </div><div><br></div><div>This is a historic event.

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It seems like the Coronavirus is turning into a serious situation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know its tempting to ignore it or be all "If I get it, I get it"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However I would like to encourage you all to take this pandemic seriously.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/transmission.html" style="text-decoration-line: underline;" target="_blank">it can take 2 weeks for an infected person to start showing symptom</a><a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/transmission.html" target="_blank">s</a><u> in some cases</u> of the COVID-19, an infected person <b><i>will</i></b> unknowingly spread the virus. This is why the coronavirus has spread so quickly. It can appear like its a simple cold in some cases which would lead to more accidental spread. One person may have mild <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/symptoms.html" target="_blank">symptoms</a>, but inadvertently cause infection to others that will become severe for them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those under the age of 12 months, over 60 years, undergoing cancer treatment, or have an autoimmune disease are at high risk. This virus spreads quickly and doesn't discriminate. Essential oils, supplements, vitamins or any other home "cure" WILL NOT PROTECT YOU. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/prevention.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fabout%2Fprevention-treatment.html" target="_blank">Literally old fashioned soap and water is the best prevention.</a> Cover your sneeze/cough into your elbow. Avoid touching your face. Disinfect surfaces regularly. Avoid crowds of people. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Consider canceling or postponing upcoming gatherings, church services or other events where a crowd will be. <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/organizations/index.html" target="_blank">Please be careful and considerate</a>, remember it can take two weeks for symptoms to appear. You might feel fine, go to church or a party and unknowingly infect those around you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Covid-19 is serious</i></b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Doing all we can to prevent its spread is necessary.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The faster this thing is contained, the faster life can go back to normal.<br />
Please don't think "you just won't get it because _______"<br />
For the sake of the very young, immune-compromised, the over 60 group, please be responsible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Stay Calm.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Don't Panic.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

On Valentine's day (the day before she passed) I had my last interaction with Grandma. I said "Hi Grandma! Its Rebecca!" She asked "Justin's Rebecca?" I said yes and she said a happy "Oohh π" I gave her a kiss on her forehead and told her I loved her. I held her hand for a moment and she gently squeezed back.</div>

I'm glad Grandma had a full life and made it to 86 regardless of her myriad of health problems. I am sad that she is gone and that future family members won't get to know Grandma. I can't wait to tell them just how much she loved us all, and how special that was to me π</div>

Justin's grandma sadly passed on February 15th of this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will be making a proper post soon in memory of her. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We knew her time was drawing to a close as of December but it still seemed to arrive so suddenly. She took a bad fall on a Wednesday and was gone by Saturday. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
During the days between her fall and her passing, things were bittersweet. Family trickled in and out of Grandma's home. Quiet moments were had, tears were shed, and an occasional somber giggle at old stories could be heard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was able to have a brief conversation with Grandma on Thursday. She was tired but still aware of us that day. We made jokes, held hands and expressed our love for each other.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Family members took turns consoling one another,comforting Poppa, sitting with grandma or sharing thoughts. We were there, waiting, for Grandma's time to end. The feeling of not being able to do anything and having to wait reminded me so much of all the times I've waited to hear of a baby's arrival. I couldn't do anything to speed up the process or alter events. I had to just sit there and wait. We all had to wait.</div>

Death is ugly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Grandma's face was swollen with blood, her nose had been broken in the fall. She was bleeding from her eyes, her nose and sadly vomiting blood too. One of her eyes was swollen shut and her face was marked with deep purple. It was sad. Heart breaking. We knew her time was coming but we didn't think it would look like this. We didn't prepare for this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was hard. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As horrible and cruel as death is, it also gives us some beauty. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the brief moments of awareness loving words were shared. Grandma was comforting us. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We knew Grandma wanted to pass at home and surrounded by family. It was beautiful to see her desire fufilled. My husband and I were not there when the time came but Grandma's last words were, "I'm so happy" Some of the family were gathered around singing her favorite hymns to her when Grandma's soul departed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We got the phone call that Grandma was gone. A mix of relief and sadness filled me. Grandma is no longer in pain, but now she is gone. The empty feeling has grown since the day she passed. Those moments remembering that I can't tell grandma that joke, or I can't give her a hug really hurt. It comes and goes. I feel so happy and grateful to have known her one moment, only to be crying later because I can not make any more memories with her. </div>

I was able to watch the Downton Abbey movie. It was nice taking another little trip into the world of Lord Grantham, family and the service. I thought some plot devices were incredibly dumb, but overall I enjoyed it. The conversation at the end between Granny and Mary really hit me. I felt like I could relate to that scene so much. </div>

I found this ceramic puppy at a Goodwill for $3. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was very dirty, chipped and overall just outdated. It was perfect! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It took me about 3 days from start to finish. I started by giving the puppy a good wash and getting as many stains off as possible. I attempted to strip the old paint with nail polish remover. I didn't think this through though as it took quite a bit of work to get all the paint off. I ran ot of acetone and gave up.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I let the puppy fully dry, applied a white base coat and with a pencil sketched out the fur pattern I had in mind. I have heard drawing on rounded objects is tricky and I can definitely agree with that. I had to redraw lines quite a few times. </div>

The dog I based the puppy on was more of a true black color. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to go with a dark grey instead. </div>

In the morning I tackled clean up and details. Painting the eyes was tough as my hands shake slightly. It took a lot of patience. </div>

After grabbing a late lunch we got in the car and made the drive back home. I was very worn out after our trip and it took a week for me to recover. I had a lovely trip but the back pain, almost fainting and general fatigue made it hard. We had planned to go to the Seaport during our trip but my body just couldn't make it. Justin did a great job taking care of me and cheering me up when I felt sad with my limitations. He is the best. </div>
