Bunny Funny
I took the unused medical supplies and a big load of greens over to the Red Door Shelter today. I was crying every time I saw all those lovely veggies and I thought how now she wouldn't ever get to eat them.
I walked over to the shelter. It was hard, especially walking up to the door as the memories came flooding back. But when I went inside, the staff were awesome. Hugs and tears, and I KNOW they know how I feel. The manager also works at the vet practice where Pepper died, so she has offered to pick up the pawprint and fur and hold them for me until I'm ready - so I don't have to go back there for a while.
They were very happy to receive the supplies, and then they coaxed me into a little bunny-therapy. I played a bit with a feisty little tricolor boy bun (who is REALLY ready to be neutered any time now!) and a cuddly little grey rex girl who let me hold her and gave me bunny-kisses.
When I posted about this on Facebook, someone said "Oh, I'm sure Pepper would have wanted the buns to have her greens". That inspired some bitter laughter from me. Pepper would have been APPPALLED at the thought that any other bun was getting their paws on her tasty greens. But it's not her call any more, and it did make me feel a little better.
There is now a cat-free bunny space at Red Door, and they have invited me to come and visit for more bunny-therapy whenever I like.

I got nearly 11 hours Friday night and 9 last night. Friends took me out and I ate a burger, though my tummy is still vaguely protesting at it. Heading out for laundry and then trying for an early bed.
I'm not improving yet but I think I've stopped declining.
