Meh.

I didn't get down as early as hoped.  Too warm.  I did shut the furnace down, it just took a long time to finally cool off.  Though I am not sure I could have slept anyway.  Just... it is very difficult to change my sleep patterns... when they aren't rolling like a plane which lost it's wing.  Gah!  At least I have a sort of pattern.  I am sleeping longer, if not staying up quite as long, as is best.  It's about twelve up and twelve down.

I keep trying to break through.  I wake, often lately, at like 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, trying each time to get up.  Once in a while I have made it to a seated position... for between two and twenty seconds.  Sometimes I don't even remember having gone on back to bed, just waking sometime thereafter, wondering what just happened.  Sleeeepppp.  Gorgeous, delicious, needed, required, demanding, sleep.

The bunnies get water first.  Then the ducks are fed and watered if needed.  They are eating large amounts these days.  They have no bits to find elsewhere.  Bugs, shoots, etc.  I'll bet they have scared all the mice off too.  Those they haven't eaten.  They truly enjoy their mice.  I have, earlier in the year, found a rat.  Too big for them to eat, not too big for them to absolutely stomp into oblivion.  As with the cats, I love these critters for this little task they do.  Mobile, rodent seeking, mousetraps!

The girls get a treat right away.  A meal a bit later.  I need to start closing the door.  Oh, and I think I will add a watchcap, while sleeping.  Pulling it down over my eyes, while sleeping in the day, might allow me to sleep more soundly so less?  Oh, and the fan back on.  It has been warmer lately?  Relatively?  It sure seems so.  But that fan doesn't actually make it cooler upstairs.  It pulls warm air up.  On bare skin, the fan adds a chill.  But it raises ambient by five degrees, sometimes more.  Odd how things work.

Ribs continue to improve.  I really have to let them heal, this time.  If also push them a little bit.  It's finding a balance that is tricky.  Too much and something might pop again.  Too little and it will never quite heal... or would heal but leave me too weak.  Oh, and with the rabbits here, I can start back up on medicine... medicines.  Oh, yes, much needed.  I will start today.  Just water pills and potassium, plus insulins, for now.  But I will set up the rest of the meds for next week.  Yes.  I... kept thinking on it, but had too much to do to dare taking them, until now.  Ugh.  Ackh.  And at least three other such exclaimers!  Have a great day.  Later.
