Another day.

Rabbits were ready.  I was right, before, to not put water out in the evening, after dark.  They simply don't drink it.  So... I really need to get their food and water out really early, then check it by, say, 14:00 to 16:00.  That would be as late as possible to put out water in such a way that they would drink it.

It is good to have their waterers ready, and the food pail ready as well.  So, when I finish chores, I generally try to see to those things.  Can't do much about frozen waterers, but can put them in a bucket of water so they thaw faster.  And the food bucket is an easy thing.  Save that I am usually tired from doing chores.  Really am.

I'll get the tom more food as I go out tonight.  While I will feed the girls from my extra, I will save some for him, too.  I may take the leftovers out in the morning, nuking whatever for just a bit, so it is warm.  He may never trust to come near me, but he will learn to watch for warm food.  I'd lay money that is better than anything he has ever known.  Might not understand it, but... he'll learn to watch for a kind deed when it's available.

It is 20 F, out there.  Not as cold as it was, but there seems to be a bit of air movement, or wind.  Not the same things, necessarily.  But with similar results... making it seem cooler, colder actually today.  As cold as the 10 to 12?  No, I don't think so, at least if wearing gloves.  Still, cold out there.

Ah, right, bp.  It was good, today, at 115/83 with a pulse of 76.  A bit low, this time, again.  I may check a little later, so see what it does several hours after medicine.  This may be too low.  But there are things I can do about it.  The thing is, while working on both bp and blood sugar at once, as well and sorting out food, and going on a weight loss diet, I'm not sure... I want to give things more time.  If possible.  If I am crashing too heavily, I have to change things.  I am right on the cusp of that, but... not quite.  I really do want to quit this medicine, but it seems to work, and I have a few other options.

Okay, fine.  I am going to stop taking the smaller carvedilol pill... as a trial.  There are other things I could do, but this would be the easiest, and is likely the most difficult part of my medicine regimen to take, and does the least as to effectiveness.  And, wouldn't be difficult to start back up if it's more of a loss than suspected.  So, starting tonight, I'll be cutting that.  And, for a week, I won't bother with bp.  Then I will see how it has worked out... unless something goes wrong in the interim.

I sure feel weak.  Not sure why.  Then again, winter solstice just happened.  It might be that simple.  I definitely hope food and stats eventually start adding up to a bit more activity.  I am feeling better.  I almost never hurt lately.  Though, to be honest, the cells in my body seem, still, to be lacking something.  Perhaps they are so used to high levels of insulin they don't quite have running without quite down?  Or, maybe, the lower bp is still a new thing.  Perhaps both?  I haven't had bp, pulse, and blood sugar all low at the same time since I've been notified that they were problems, and low altogether.  Or, really, as low as either is, ever.  So... there are bound to be issues.

Well, on to the day.  I'll have to ease into the day, if I can do anything much.  More gaming, in an attempt to wake better.  Lunch before long... sardines and crackers.  One or maybe two cans?  Depends... set for 200 calories of sardines, though if the cans are less, could go with celery and peanut butter as a side.  It's sort of fun, when you realize what you need, to negotiate through.

I will be doing more research on protein.  If I need not just a certain percent, but an actual amount, I may have to sort that out.  As is, I am having a difficult time getting enough protein in.  I can get, usually, the percentage.  But not 141 grams (a weight loss amount, based on 150 if just maintaining).  If, below that, the body scavenges itself, or maybe I need the whole 150, then... I'll have to figure that out.  Everyone seems to have a different story.  I need something more sure.

Later.
