Comics and chores

I found out about a new tax in our state while loading rabbit trays. Timothy keeps up with his favorite comic that way, although it does slow down chores a little.

We use trays under all our rabbit cages and so have to empty and wash them at least once a week. We've discovered that using newspapers to line the bottom of the trays has reduced our bedding costs a bunch. We use shredded newspaper on top of the newspaper sheets.

But that step where the washed trays come to the newspaper station slows us up. As we unfold the old newspapers, we find articles we forgot to read. And so, if Timothy is replacing trays under cages, he comes back to the newspaper/bedding station to find me deeply engrossed in an article. When it's his turn, he reads the funnies.

I've yet to find much exciting in this tray-cleaning chore but catching up on the news at the same time helps make it a little more interesting.
