I really enjoyed New Year's Eve this year. More than ever it proved the theory of 'It's the people, not the place.' All my friends were there and it was just nice. Plus I got very drunk, maybe not the best ending to the night throwing up and being firemans lifted out the door but oh well!!
New Year's Day was not so great. Storm the rabbit hadn't been well and his condition was rapidly deteriating. I ended up taking him to the emergency vets where the consultation alone was £77. She took him in for treatment but at 2:30am the phonecall came... Storm had passed away. Of course I was devastated. But in keeping with my new years resolutions, I have tried to control it. I cried when I heard, and a little bit the day after. But I've not been letting myself get too dragged in either. Jake's been amazing. In work the next day ... feeling exhausted, ill and wanting to cry and go home ... he came in with a little Lipsy bag. He knew I've seen a dress there I want for my 21st. At first I thought... he's bought me my dress? But the bag was too small. Turned out to be a gift card. It was incredibly sweet, and romantic. I couldn't help but smile. I went down to Lipsy on my lunch break and bought my dress.
Money is another thing I don't want to get too stressed over this year. Yeah, I don't have a lot. And sometimes I will struggle. But ultimately, its not worth worrying over... cus so many people are in the same situation. Sure forking out £150 for a dead rabbit isn't ideal. £60 for a dress. £40 for new boots I didn't really need but are so fit I couldn't resist. I am feeling better about my attitude to the year already, despite Storm and te bad start I think it will be a good year.
So, RIP, you were a brilliant rabbit and I'll remember you fondly... the day we first got you, hopping back up onto the couch and reserving the arm as your seat. You'll little squirrel face when you washed. Your binkies. Love you Storm <3
