Chores were done in two parts.

.

It was just too cold, for me, this morning.  I did the closer rabbits first.  I opened the tarps, on the front of their cages, lifted the tarps so they can see out.  Initially just to get to their waterers, and food bins.  But, with it not being windy, I left the tarps up so they can see.  I will close them up tonight.  Yea, I'll probably need to give them fresh water tonight.

I had to warm up, after doing the first group.  Then I got it all ready for the outbuilding group, and took food for the tom.  I hope he is enjoying.  I had about two more doses of old deli meat, one left now.  I toss it in the mic, on a plate, for 45 seconds, after cutting the circle grouping into sixths, like larger... or smaller... pieces of meat pie.  No complaints from him, so far.

The outbuilding does stay quite a bit warmer.  Their waterers were nearly empty, while the closer rabbits, of late, never get through more than about a quarter of their waterers.  Nor are they eating that much, they must need/want water with their food?  I checked the temp on the way back, up to right about 15 F out there.  And whatever wind or air movement was happening this morning has ended, or at least while I was outside.

Frigid, boys and girls.  Cold.  Gloves, cap, snow boots, two layers on the legs, warm socks, a shirt and jacket.  And I doubt if it would matter what else I wore.  Lower bp and blood sugar seems to make my sense of cold more normal.  And, yes, that is cold.  For much of my adult life, it wasn't considered cold until it hit about -20 F.  And that was in Iowa, where humidity was usually high or higher, winter summer spring or fall.

Hmm, went to feed the girls, but can't find Sam.  At her age, I always worry.  She often just rolls up, in some nook, and falls deeply asleep.  But, someday, one of these days, she... won't be waking up.  I'll go look for her again.  There are so many sneaky little places she could hide, and die.  I'll go find her.  Later.

Was curious, so tested blood sugar before eating the first time today.  It is up to 84?  Fine, okay.  Just... interesting.  I am glad I didn't bother with it, being that low.  The electrolyte powder shouldn't have bothered it.  And I didn't take the vitamins that might, other than one chewable if it is supposed to be non-glycemic.  But who knows.
