A bit later.

I set the alarms.  One at 06:00, one at 08:00.  It was a bit after the latter before I could find my feet.  I wasn't able to go to sleep until late.  Working that little bit, later in the day, sort of... excited the body.  It was a bit after midnight before I could go down.  No whine, just understanding.

With things nearly set up, in the outbuilding, I may try to finish last touches.  A divider panel in the new smaller intended to be  double rabbit condo.  It needs to be cut, fit, then reinforced.  As well, I need feeders on what is to be the bucks' dorm.  Then again, I do believe I will put the ladies outdoors, until/unless I get a few more?  Probably all told.

Even if I get a few more big does, there will be enough room outdoors for them.  The reason I am putting them outdoors is because those cages are much roomier.  I am hoping they will have an easier time kitting in them.  The only way to get them indoors, possibly, is to build more and larger cages, fit for the nearer outbuilding.  And, believe or not, building cages is very expensive.  Amazingly expensive.  Just the wire caging, but wood last I checked was still a bit high.  Everything has been jacked, and it was expensive before that.

Beside getting feeders installed, and a divider panel, I might also try to get the roof of the feeder hutch cut, and hinges attached.  Perhaps a divider panel in there too.  All today?  Who knows.  With the big things, that I can't do solo, out of the way... maybe.  Or some of the things.  Oh, did I mention?  I got a door on the hutch out there.  It will keep a dog out, unless his owner is with him and opens the door.  Though I would like to keep the door open during the day.  Perhaps I could put a screen door on, as well?  Or... some fixture made to act as such?  We will see.

Blood sugar is better, at 121 fasting.  It keeps dropping, so I am keeping the slow acting insulin at it's current level until that number stabilizes.  If it ends up going too low, I will back it off a bit.  At this point, I am taking 46 cc's of slow acting.  Even then, only eating more rightly than wrongly allows it to work.  Proteins and fats, and carbs of mostly fiber.

Oh, I tried a zippo handwarmer last night.  I had been a bit afraid.  To be honest, I... wasn't impressed.  It won't heat a space.  And, even when held mostly while sleeping, it really didn't warm me much.  And upstairs was around 57 F.  So... not something I would highly recommend.  I will try it in other situations, perhaps setting it up when I go out to feed and water the rabbits... keeping it in a pocket, so as to try to warm the hands between actions?  I have two of them.

And, yes, you can shut them off.  A glad sandwich bag, it is said, will do the trick.  Just seal it, and that will turn it off.  And store the fuel so it doesn't evaporate as quickly out of it.  All of zippo's gear is notorious for evaporating dry, quickly.  More of their fluid has gone airborne than has been burned by such vast ratios... making money on nothing.  Still, will see if these work, and if I can burn more of their lighter fluid than waste?

Now for medicine, breakfast, and shortly, feeding, litter, watering, and maybe a start to dishes and laundry.  Then, later, getting to the rabbitry works.  Have a good day.  Stay warm, dry, and ready.  And get to it.  Later.
