Cold out there for sure.

I finally got around to defrosting the hydrant.  Three or four half hour sessions out there.  I couldn't go faster.  I'd come back in, and warm up, for half and hour, then back to it.  I was beginning to wonder if it would work.  It did, finally.  The first bucket went to the cats, then two more filled and brought in.  I'd like to get all of the waterers topped off.  Then refill the buckets if possible.

I need a little break.  Hauling water is a big chore, to be honest.  Not doing it daily is nice, but having to work so hard to make it happen isn't so nice.  Work hard?  How about work cold?  Still, once every four to six days, versus daily?  Yea, okay.  In the summer it's nearly a daily thing, as the rabbits drink like sailors are reputed.  They would in the winter, if they only could.

It's late, but I did what I could, when I could, as fast as I could.  And... I still have things I am hoping to do.  But I'll need an hour to warm up.  Assuming I can stay awake that long.  Oh, best check meds.  I think I took all pills for the day, but I haven't taken slow acting insulin.  I'll get that, set the timer, and game a bit.  It's the warmest area.

On to it, I suppose.  Still hungry?  But, this time, I'm not sure if it is just in the mind.  Then again, the cold really does pull it out of me.  Energy.  It uses resources like crazy.  I don't have a lot.  I don't know, I'll think about something more.  Gotta be careful though.  Already a few calories over for today, and a bunch over yesterday.  Bleh.
