I kept thinking I'd go to bed.

I just couldn't.  No great problem.  I'll have something to eat shortly.  I... oh... chicken drumsticks.  I will brine them, adding vinegar, for an hour.  It just really helps, as chicken has been rather skunky lately.  Winter?  Poor, few, workers... or automation isn't working out?  Whatever the case is, chicken is rough lately.

Since I am awake, I'll get the rabbits feed and water as soon as it lights up out there.  I have been feeding the girls well.  But, their litter!  Yea.  That really needs tended, reset whole I would guess.  I'll check, but... it's probably pretty rough.  When it is rough, Sam gets rough.  She is too old to care for herself as well as she would wish, especially if the pans are a bit off.

She is mostly sleeping the last of her life.  I... understand.  Medicine has helped, so I don't do that as much.  But... anything gets pushed, or pulled, or hurt, or... and I can go down hard.  Now, with medicine, it isn't quite as bad.  But, still, I know where she is at.  So, I try to keep up on things, just to ease the last of her life.  I swear, she is trying to outlive me.  I am grateful for her efforts.

Still cold, in here.  I need to insulate the house, seal cracks, do other things.  I just... haven't been able to do much.  The thing is, this will help in summer and winter.  I don't think having a home completely sealed is wise, but having it breath much more explicitly... making air transference more of a task... is wise.  Necessary.  Not sure how possible it is, but I think the drafts are mostly from doors and a few windows.  I am sure there is a way to seal up much better.  I... beside being not able, and not being able for a while, I don't know how.

Well... on to making a bite to eat.  Meat, I really need some.  And, chicken, at least with skin, does work well.  Perhaps broccoli.  And... something else.  Oh, I did get kefir sorted, and another jar started.  It sure seems like a lot of grains were made, or it is coming out very thick?  It's been a while, but this seems different.  This seems more like yogurt, cut in the container (though I didn't cut it) than kefir as I remember it.  But yogurt cultures wouldn't do that.  So... not sure what to think.

I do need to empty the other kefir I tried to make, from the refrigerated stuff.  And clean those jugs out, to get them in play for a full set of kefir, set and refrigerated, and with spare jugs ready for when I need to make more.  I will reuse the jars a few times, but at some point it is just best to completely reset the whole jug, wash one, bring a clean one in to replace, and go from there.

A shower would be good, too.  Perhaps it will warm me up.  So cold, even with the furnace up high.  Oh well.  Later.
