Late.

It was nearly ten before I could get up and going.  I set the alarms at 07:00 and 09:00.  Later, already, because of all I had done yesterday.  Still, it was an extreme fight to get out, even when I did.  Though, checking the clock/thermometer near my bed I found part of the reason.  It read 48 F.  The coldest I have seen it up there, this winter, is 54 on exceptionally cold nights.  So, yea.  That would make it much more difficult to get up.

Still, awake.  And dressed.  I had wanted to do some laundry work up there, with a big basket of stuff to be sorted.  But it was just too cold to muck around up there, for now.  So, I left that and came on down.  I brought one refuse box with me.  Nothing fancy, but it was something.

Blood sugar is 136 fasting.  A little higher.  I... snacked, just before bedtime.  I was HUNGRY!  I do notice, when I go outside of the six to eight hour food window, it does tend to increase blood sugar.  Getting better though, again. at 123 for the weekly, 129 biweekly, and 133 monthly averages.   That's... better.

Today?  I want to clear and clean off my dishes space, and get going on those.  Continue with laundry.  I think I have one more load to wash, and with the load in the dryer... giving it a spin, and all else, three loads to send or repeat through the dryer.  As for dishes?  I am hoping to finish the load soaking, resoak it with fresh hot water.  Then do two more batches of that size.  I think I have clean dishes to be put up, mostly utensils, big and little.

Else?  Chores, litter, feeding the girls and getting them fresh water.  Oh, but I have to refill waterers yet this morning.  All of them.  Can't get fresh outdoor water, so... it'll have to be softened tap water.  Just the way of it.  It is cold out there, 7 to 9.  I was just awake, when I looked, and didn't want to be out long enough to get an exact reading.  Now, that isn't always terribly cold.  But, this morning, there is a feel to it of bitter chill.  Either I am not with it, into it, or the humidity, barometric pressure, and whatever else might have an effect on the sense of it makes it worse.  I just can't say.

Still?  Wonderful.  I have worked well this week, and will do well today, I think.  The water for breakfast is hot enough, so I'll go get that going.  Beside chia, the two remaining sausage patties are to be warmed and relished.  I'll refresh the girls' litter while out there.  I suppose I could feed them too, as late as it is.  Especially since they aren't begging.

I don't know if I want to work on the pens.  Being that cold.  But, if it warms today, perhaps.  Well, if nothing else, I will look for the tools and feeders.  Cold, boys and girls, brutally cold.  I have had worse, but this... for this year... is about as cold as I have seen it.  And I am definitely feeling it.  Later, good morning, and good day... maybe even good evening or night to some of you foreign types.  Be well.
