Not a bad start.

Bills.  Two still require calls.  Before the tenth and they are good.  One goes to the sixteenth, but the other would be late.  I pay them together.  I haven't started automatic payments as I am waiting on ss payments so I can pay more on my mortgage... as much as double.  Too tight currently.

I also called my brother.  He was in the shop with his youngest.  Dental?  Some such.  A short talk, he said he would call back soon.  I'd like to call him more often.  Not too often, neither of us are... actually we are both gabbers, just not with each other, or yet?  Still, a short talk is good.

Ducks were fed and watered.  I am able to open the gate... it is not frozen in now.  As well, I can keep garden hose and sprayer attached and out there.  It's a minor thing, seemingly, but really shaves time, especially feeding and watering them twice a day now.  As soon as I can get the fencing up and right, and new hay, I will chase them out and clean their hutch... shovel, spray, reset the hay, perhaps attempt to create nesting boxes.  Ugh.  Yes, cats have been fed and watered.

A meal in a bit.  Another call.  A shower and shave.  Some work in the bathroom and bedroom.  Ugh.  Or something.  It is 52, here, at noon.  Overcast.  Dark.  But warming.  Later.
