I hurt, and wanted to sleep.

So it went all day.  The shower didn't help.  I wonder if having Sassy up there disturbed my rolling, which then caused my neck to be out, and back, which caused the headache?  Probably.

I just got to chores.  I kept hoping the pain would ease, that I would wake a bit.  Had to refresh duck feed, which is a 150 pound task.  I didn't want to do it.  I was also almost certain the kits would be dead.  I expected them to be dead yesterday.  Finally, I got out and got the feed put in, then fed the ducks and started in on the rabbits.

Sure enough, the little ones were dead.  Probably cold, she just didn't want anything to do with them.  Wouldn't go in with them.  Oh well.  Makes me wonder if any of them will do well.  There are two more, potentially, pregnant.  And I may breed two of the big does.  Just little ones, so far.  So far, to no good ends.  And timers and watching the calendar does no good, when they can be so late, and further leave no clue they are about to deliver.  Even checking twice a day doesn't necessarily mean it will work out.  They die so quickly out in a bare cage.  Ugh.

The pork, with sauerkraut, wasn't bad.  I wouldn't call it splendid, but it was okay.  A shower earlier was nice.  I had hoped it would relax the muscles, ease the aches and pains.  No such luck, but I did get clean.  It is 48 out there, or was at about 20:00, give or take a bit.  The warmest I saw it today was 58.  Very cool, even for this time of year.

I did call, and connect, with my brother.  He isn't really insterested in talking.  He talked a bit.  Still, he does have a lot on his plate.  Little of it, at the moment, anything his actions led into.  Gums are still sore.  Life is still a bit overwhelming.  And, while everyone expects them to go his way, they leave it in his hands.  As... is often the case.

I'll try to get ready.  But I have limits too, especially with this recent fall.  Meh.  I'll do what I can.  It'll get done, what can, and has to be done.  Later, or more likely good night.
