No one every quite absolutely knows the future. One can align themselves with the possibilities, probabilities, opportunities, and necessities, then plan accordingly. But, even for whom the bell tolls is not a certainty. So, one may never know. Even seers can be wrong. If, as mentioned, seers don't seem to see perfectly, less so about themselves. Nor can things, always, be changed. That isn't always the purpose of sight... second sight? You don't have to believe, but I am looking at you. Now.
I went to bed between, I think, 19:30 and 20:30. Oh, why use 24 hour clocks and time? Because, when I wake up and it is dark, I can never be certain if it is 7:30 or 19:30 without my clocks reading so. And with sleep so off sometimes, not knowing the time makes it extremely difficult, along with sleep arrhythmia's, to make or keep the very few plans I am able to otherwise keep. You have... no idea what it is like to be flotsam on a sea of time and sleep... for thirty years, and change.
Eggs and cheese, pure peanut butter and cabbage, brats and lettuce, I have enough food for a bit now. Now to figure out how to cook and process that. Brats and chops, previously, recently, thawed... grilled tonight. Burger fried for crumble, and a taco salad later. And chicken thighs, also freshly thawed, to be brined, then baked, then the meat stripped to be held in reserve for a seriously hearty chicken and veggie stew! I am excited. A huge container of that, some of it stowed for consumption later? That's the idea.
The hope is, even this weekend, to begin working. Now that rabbits have been... handled... it's on to cleaning up the yard, setting up the cages in the outbuilding for nesting mommas, cleaning out the other other outbuilding, then prepping that for taking in the indian runners. As well, while at it, I will begin making a few calls to see if others actually want rabbits. I mean, I could eat a lot of rabbit, but probably won't. I certainly won't eat all rabbit.
I wouldn't mind a rabbit, processed and frozen, for one a week, or one and an half, stored. Perhaps even attempt to raw can some? In case electrical goes out. But that won't take much. As well, I have limits as to how many rabbits I can honestly maintain. They are eating like police at a donut shop! (nothing personal, C.N.Wetter) So, I will need to thin the herd I have. Then begin breeding? Ugh. Will see. Though it might be a problem with the feeders? The tiny rabbits shouldn't be eating more than the big ones. Shouldn't? Couldn't? Wouldn't? Would?
Anyway. Up at just around 01:00. Softly pained, as if covered in marshmallows, then run over by a Mac truck. Assuming the marshmallows did their purported job and kept me from the worst of it. Like a beating, from two to three weeks ago. Yea, I know it well. No problems, I play and worked hard, it... is how that works. The only way to get the attention of a minor giant.
It'll take a bit to wake. Then I'll get the rabbits fresh water, feed the girls, and rest. Then set or reset laundry and dishes, while setting an alarm. And on through to tomorrow, trying to get smaller and larger chores done. I don't think I'll be doing a lot outside, other than critters, and maybe moving some of the smaller branches. The smaller ones have a girth between three and probably six inches? And are four to six feet? Something. So... small, but not twigs.
Perhaps tomorrow I can begin doing the indian runner outbuilding, or get started. Metals out, some sweeping, perhaps checking the screening and creating a sliding or other baffle for winter use... to keep it warmer in there. Plus, perhaps, setting up a nesting area in there, in case one of the gals goes broody. This time she will get here throne, and security, warmth, water, and food, delivered as a queen ought to have served.
The rabbit outbuilding can wait, a bit. It will take, the rabbit lady said, about 33 to 34 days after rabbit collisions for the doe to begin laying her kits. I am planning on just doing three does to start. A small one and two large ones. I'll see what I get. If it matches with needs and wants, I will immediately set another set to get going. That will give the does a leap frog of breeding, so they aren't completely spent too quickly? I don't know, it's... an idea, to point.
Now to wake. I am hungry, but... the grill will kick food out pretty quickly. Of course, it takes fifteen to twenty to light, another similar to heat, then about that much to cook smaller, thinner, lighter, foods. Chops about half that, brats about exactly that. Uhrm, hungry. I may start that grill now. Check diabetes numbers too. Beautiful... at 151 fasting, I can... live with that... for now. Just starting insulin and mostly only taking slow acting insulin for now. If this keeps up... Very strange, I'll take it.
Later.
