Well, up, finally.

.

Been up for a while, actually.  No study.  Just awake, on my feet, dressed already.  Not a bad show.  Slept well.  Dreamed, but can't remember what.  Dreams have been intense lately.  I just can't bring back what I saw.  Even so, as mentioned, sleep is good.  Very good, especially when I can cool off before going to bed.

I haven't done all chores yet.  But I did get the ducks tended.  Kay is finally out, with a vast group of ducklings.  I counted, give or take, sixteen!  And Penguin Girl is sitting a few more chicks, while awaiting the last to hatch!  I'm building an army!  I am sure there is no way half of those will survive.  Even so, that is going to be a goodly number of ducks.  I think Morning Dove is out there, or somewhere, brooding again too.  Ugh.

I have three that are pretty much adult, just needing fatted out.  Three more which are senior juveniles.  One still chick, with Crow.  Sixteen little ones with Kay.  I think at least four with Penguin Girl, also just hatchlings, but looking like with possibly more on the way.  And some unknown number with Morning dove again.  Youch.

My brother called earlier.  I was asleep.  I called back, and to my surprise, he picked up.  It seems the surgery was much more severe than I had thought.  She is not just in pain, but having trouble eating, and else.  It took her sea legs out from under her, it seems.  They are considering short-term, initially, recuperative care, with physical therapy and such.  I do fear that becoming permanent.  Yes, we talked.  I... yes... we have been talking about things for a while.  On the edges.  Mother knows, but she... also... knows.  Maybe.  We will see.  We will do what we can for her.

Anyway... It's 93 out there.  I have medicine in.  I will, shortly, get out and check the rabbits.  Probably taking them out bottles of frozen water, checking while I move through.  Though most should be in good shape, food and waterwise.  I filled all, excessively, last night.  Still, I will check.  Warm indoors too.

I may, after that, go study.  Just one lesson.  Though with a test on the work from yesterday and today.  Gotta get that in my head, and to stick!  Driving me nuts that I can't remember.  Still, it's a lot to remember, and so absolutely foreign.  Might as well be tossed bone reading, or sich.  Still, it's... what I've set before myself.  So be it.

Good afternoon and day.
