I didn't wait until after my coffee.
I brought my partner her coffee, lunch, and water, gave her a kiss, and showed her where the rabbit was hiding last night, roughly. "Oh yeah," she said. "There he is! Right there in the corner, behind the shelves."
So after she took off for work, I grabbed a badminton racket and poked at the rabbit to get him to move. Which he did, a little. I tried making noise but he ignored it. So we continued our game, me literally poking him with the end of my racket, him running another few feet up. I got him to the end of the garage. This is it!, I thought.
Nope. Next poke he ran across to the other side of the garage, not out. So we contiued this again. I couldn't find him, until I found him hiding behind one of the all-season tires propped up against a back wall. Poke: he ran and hid behind the curve of a snow shovel. Poke -
Towards the open garage door. I ran at this point, just to make sure he wouldn't try cutting back again. And he didn't. Down the driveway, across two of our neighbours' front yards, and away.
I closed the garage door, came back inside. My two dogs lay asleep on the couch, unaware of what would've been one of the great days of their lives had they been in there, participating. I sat down with my coffee. I opened my ssh session to RTC, then vi. I wrote this.
