Turnabout Rivals

Rest In Peace Belle

I normally don't do this. Usually, if I take a break, that often means I have already finished a previous chapter of the story and purposely don't poste it in order to go over it, edit it, add in the notes on the bottom, add the videos and be done before starting on my next chapter. It is so that I don't lose track of what I'm writing and I can get into the flow of the story. But, this time, I'm in the middle of my fic and I'm going to be stopping for a while. I was planning on finishing it before Christmas, but something has happened.

About a few days ago prior to posting this, my pet rabbit Belle had passed away. I adopted her about four months ago and have had her free roam in my kitchen. I liter trained her, groomed her, fed her and was in the process of harness training her, so I could take her outside. It was a bit difficult, being that I live in a small town full of dog owners, so it wasn't like I was living in an area with stores or vets that knew how to care for pet rabbits. Many times, people just gave me looks when I mention liter training my rabbit or not caging her.

At the moment right now, I'm having to sell off all her pellets, toys and stuff, while also keeping the hay for when I decide to get a pet rabbit again. Considering the situation I'm at right now, I can't afford to get another rabbit. At the time when adopting Belle, the pandemic was so bad that I wasn't allowed to socialize as much. She kept me company and gave me something to do while I was stuck at home. Due to my autism, it is hard for me to socialize outside of my home. Most of my socialization is done within my family or church. I thank God that I am able to have any sort of socialization at all.

Right now, the pandemic has cooled down and I am allowed to socialize more than before, whereas before my church had to cancel social activities, the Salvation Army I volunteer in was closed to everyone and my family was having their own problems. My church has reopened since, Salvation Army is opened to the public, there is the chance I may end up getting a job and the problems my family had before were resolved. Now, it is best for me to try to rest up for a bit and morn for Belle. She was a sweetheart.

Please give me time to cool down. If I do post any stories or one shots (one in particular for a Secret Santa), that means I've already finished them a week or so before and just needs some editing. If I continue to write now, the emotions I'm feeling right now will effect my stories. I thank you for your patients during this time.
