To bed but nearly right back up.

Too cold.  It is colder during the winter.  But it had warmed to about 64, upstairs.  Maybe as high as 66.  And it had been that warm for weeks, perhaps a month.  The last week or two it dropped.  I hadn't noticed, until tonight.  At 55, it seemed cold.  It was cold.  My feet were killing me.  I kept them together, added blankets, did everything I could do.  I simply couldn't handle sleeping.

So, after three hours down, I got back up.  I'm not sure how to fix this.  

I have, without realizing it, dropped off the three water pills per day back to one.  The water seems to be staying off.  Which, usually, is a good thing regarding temperature moderation.  It must just be the fast ten degree drop in temperature.  It takes time for me to acclimate.

So... what to do?  I'm up until I can warm a bit.

I thought I had most of the waterers bleached, then reset, yesterday.  Not so much.  I had about half of them done.  I finished them today... soon becoming yesterday.  While at it, I am cleaning some kefir jars, a whey quart jar, and a few other jars.  Bleach helps.  I just used the last of what I had, and fresh hot water.  Even tea jars can really use bleaching, then washing.

As is, I am leaving a few more than a third of the waterers empty.  I don't think having water in them, in storage, works well.  Though, if I ever get the other cages set and going, I may need to pull all waterers out, and purchase more.  Though I may be able to buy smaller ones.  It's just too bad that smaller waterers cost very little less than the biggest ones.  Besides, middling sizes will most likely be best.  

A mid-sized waterer will usually handle a single rabbit a full day.  Though on hot days, maybe not?  Still, middle sizes are easier to change out, and easier to keep cool.  I... have a refrigerator, actually.  There is a problem with it, but it might be easily repairable?  If so, no need for a dorm fridge.  I can hope.  Oh, I probably should begin freezing water in bottles, figuring out how many I need.  I would like to have two per cage per day.  One out in the morning, one out later in the early to late afternoon.  And they should be able to freeze overnight?  Or should I set up three per cage, just for a bit more freeze time?  Three... for now.  Though there might not be a summer this year again?  I am not going to count on that.

Hungry.  Eggs, bacon, kefir, will do.  I am hoping to finish the jars, then do more dishes.  I should be able to get fully caught up with one major charge at the things.  Mostly larger items and some flatware.  Then a shower.  Then chores, ducks as the sun comes out if it is warming well, or all later if it is another cool to cold day.

A bit tired, but I just can't sleep.  Later.
