A bit.

The last bill for the month.  Paid, assuming there was enough money in the account.  If not, I paid it early.  So, all good either way.  Just... so intent on making sure it was paid, I just paid it now.  All bills requiring calls are now done.  Not sure what else might be coming out, but that should be about it for spending and paying... ugh.

I called the woman from whom I purchased the ducks.  She can't take them back.  Her ducks have been tested, for various things, so she can sell them across various areas... perhaps nationally.  Even if I had my ducks tested, it might not, exactly, transfer to her state.  She lives a state over.

I told her about the ducks being killed.  She thought I should call the sheriff.  I... don't think she understands... either.  Few do.  But, yea, no.

I haven't gotten back to work yet, but should before too long.  Gaming, so far.  But it is... keeping more active, of mind.  Perhaps some work before too long.  I did have a few cheese sandwiches, and a fatted coffee.  Nothing fancy, but it works well enough.  Fed the girls, but need to hit their litter box.  Then, maybe, get a shower.  Chores shortly after.

They got fresh water just yesterday.  Though now I need a bucket to refill waters.  They all went through all their water in a day.  The cool, I suppose.  And they are eating well, if I am limiting that a bit.  They are all a bit overweight.  If it opens and warms, or when it does, or at least stops raining, I'd like to get that other row of cages in.  Then get the boys out there.  Saving the bigger cages for the ladies.  Then begin getting them breeding.  I can only hope they will begin using the kitting boxes!  How frustrating.  

Well, and hopefully, they kit a bit quicker.  I wonder if someone is messing with them, somehow.  Feeding them bad things, or frightening them?  I wish I could get some sort of defenses up, cameras going, and find out.  But... I just don't have the money, time, tech, or energy.  You have no idea what it is to be all alone in a very hostile world.

Always something.  They haven't quite killed me yet.  A good thing too, not for me.  Though... for their mistakes, costs.  It won't be as it was.  Dealing with dishonest thieving, even murderous people, leads one to make different... assessments.  So be it, I guess.  But, yes, things have changed.  Now, nothing will be as it was.

I'd really like more food.  Not sure what though.  I am washing a few items, so might be able to get something warm cooked and eaten before long.  Later.
