A start.

Sassy, and her litter, tended.  Breakfast, for myself.  And chores.  So far.  I need to sit for a bit.  Then a shower.  Maybe a shave?  Two days in a row?  Yes, but it... gets it tuned, after not having shaven for a while.  When shaving a few times a week, twice in a row is almost never needed.

Then?  A bit of business.  Checking on some things.  Taking down the bed form in the master bedroom.  Working on boxes of things, loose items, trying to organize items and boxes better.  Well, and I ought to thaw meat.  Chops, but what else?  Those ground pork meatballs were pretty good.  A little bland, so I might see what I have as is.  Perhaps I have fennel seed up there, some time, perhaps basil or something along those lines.  And, heat, if I wanted that.  Those, in a vegetable soup, would work.  Nothing fancy, but... it... will do.

So tired though.  Still dark out there.  Not as dark, mostly.  But definitely not sunny, or close.  Thinner clouds, but everywhere... mostly.  It is above freezing, so they won't have to fight frost to get their sips on.  I may have to see about getting them to breed again.  Maybe it was too cold.  Maybe it was too dark.  Maybe... who knows.  But it has been... two months, and no signs of birthing.

For the little ones, I only have one male.  For the big ones, I only have one female.  Ugh.  I'll give it a shot, or let them, sometime this week.  And, I think, with my big doe, she will go in with each big buck, for a bit.  Hoping one of them will do the trick.  Make sure I see a mounting, then leave them for an hour.  Each buck, over several days.  Twice a day.

For the little ones, I'll try to get the male in with two does per week, an hour per visit, two visits per doe.  Have to be careful, he could kill himself going at it.  I am hoping this pace isn't too much for him?  I simply don't know.  But with only one buck, I have to be careful with him.  With the doe, less so.  She isn't the one who... stresses.

One more shot.  After that I will just get rid of them.  This is... the third... no fourth... time.  We will see.  Later.
