Not a good day.

Ducks in, rabbits checked.  It was and remains somewhere between 22 and 24 F out.  Fresh water for the girls, their litter cleared, and a dinner.  I would really like to put out fresh waterers, but I am all but certain their will freeze solid... which is a risk too them.  Besides, the rabbits drank almost nothing of the fresh I put out after dark.  I think I will try to make it to dawn, and put water out for them, before going to bed.

My stomach really hurts.  Unlike when it has felt like I took a beating a week or two ago, this feels fresh.  It doesn't just hurt when I bend, or such, but all of the time.  I have done nothing to bring this on.

I'm not terribly hungry.  If I do get hungry, I will hit some of the chicken soup.  Hmm... no noodles.  Though, the truth is, I really don't like noodles anymore.  Still, I wonder if there is something I could add?  Julienned daikon radish or watercress's?  Something like that, if I spelled or wrote it quite right... crispy veggies often added to stirfry.  I do have some cans of watercress.  Hmm, might try it.

Oh, I keep forgetting to take painkillers.  I am thinking, this time, to try anacin.  Ibuprofen has been used almost exclusively, if the symptoms it was used for were flu related.  This pain is different.  Oh, sure, there are still sinus aches, but that isn't the main problem.  Yea, and just for a change.  I must admit, ibuprofen worked well, anacin did nothing.  I have to wonder about tylenol.  I think I will keep some of each on hand, so if one kind doesn't work, I can try another.  More vodka, because that does do well, especially in a fatted coffee.  Small bottles, nothing fancy, not much at any time... just a shot or two per quart, once or twice a day, as needed and to a degree wanted.

I was so sure it was Saturday.  I guess not.  I gave a friend a little... chirp... about missing.  And he chirped back.  Well, we ended up grinning and all, so it was good.  Hmm, I should call my brother tomorrow.  I meant to today, but... today wasn't even today, it is tomorrow, so... I'm... I... didn't miss!  *grins*  Yea, I'll call him tomorrow, see what is up.  Avoiding politics is best.  If hanging up isn't a part of it.  A gentle... reminder.  We aren't on the same sides of the Civil War.  Best to not discuss it.  No CW, doesn't like there will be one, or even a strong win.  It looks like he will just roll and everyone quits and goes home.  Can't do it solo.  I suppose that is how he sees it.  Whatevs.
