Good goat times today. A hot one. Not quite as hot as the weekend, but hot enough. Burning sunshine. A beautiful summer’s day.
I wasn’t feeling my best in the morning. I mentioned that I had eaten unhealthily again, well I was downplaying that. I had pizza and cake, multiple times. Because my depression demands to be fed.
So today I was bloated and out of shape again, staggering along. At least my leg wasn’t hurting too bad. A little bit of pain when prodded, but I could walk fine without pain. So that was good
But yeah, I was feeling depressed and fat and dumb. Thankfully the goats make that all go away. And just sitting around with them in the unshine is the best medicine.
It was mostly just sitting around today, because it was so hot. Goats soaking up ths sunshine, until it got too much and they retreated to the shade. A little bit of headbutting and some competing for snacks, but mostly just relaxing.
And sweet visitors. Lots of people taking advantage of the gloriosu weather. And I guess maybe it’s summer vacation by now? There were some eager kids saying hit to the goats and swinging the swings. One lady came in to take photos of the goats and she asked their names. And was impressed by Bella enjoying a hoof massage.
A lovely day to recharge the solar power brain cells. Now I have to get back in the swing of the exercise and tomato. Up and down the rollercoaster goes.
Right now it’s time for some soup. It’s kind of too hot for soup, but you know what I say. It’s not too hot for soup. That’s what I say. I should have a big sign printed of that saying so I can just carry it around and save my voice.

I got mauled by the goats again.
Well, this picture is just a sun-hug from Luna. I think it was her that got me during breakfast, though.
Actually, I think I just tripped over her. I was giving them breakfast down in the pen because the weather was so great. I was reaching out to fill up the bowl I had put up on the platform, and then someone crashed into my legs. Or I tripped over them. Truth is subjective. Anyway,, I fell forward. Thankfully I caught a hold of the platform and steadied my self, no injuries. But I did send half the goat breakfast frying over the platform and on the ground. The goats discussed this among themselves and reached the conclusion that I should go fetch some more to make sure no one was left hungry. Well, who am I to argue with the bosses..

Bella sitting down on one of the podiums. Not often she sits there, that’s typically Sky’s spot. And sometimes Luna. But I guess she wanted to get out of the sunshine, and there’s lovely shade under the big tree there.

Fkk. My computer overheated agan and shortcircuited and took out the electrical outlet, turning off the TV and everything connected to that plug.
So that’s not good. If it was the old system with those round physical fuses, I’d probably have to change a fuse. But I think the system handles all that automatically
But it’s not good that I short circuit the eletrical plug. At some point it’s going to do permanent damage to the computer, if not my whole apartment or start a fire.
Ugh.
I really need a new computer. And I really don’t want to deal with that.
I looked in my Windows settings and my power setting was set to “high performance”. I have changed it to “Balanced” now. I don’t know if that will make any difference at all.
This really bites. It makes me want to get cake and pizza and hide in bed for a week.
Sigh.
Well, in other news. I got my package today. No problem at all. I wrote down the “collection code” but the package store guy just looked at it and asked “what’s this?”. I told him about hte QR code stuff and that it had never happened before and I didn’t even know if he needed it. He just shrugged and went and got my package and handed it to me. So that was literally a lot of worrying for nothing. But at least I got my package, and I hope in the future it will continue to go without problems. Feel kind of stupid for taking 30 pictures of a QR code on my pc screen now.
Also, is your fridge running? Because mine is, thankfully. When I got up this morning my fridge door was not a door, it was ajar. Either I have little kitchen gremlins having fridge parties at night, or I didn’t close the fridge door properly before going to bed yesterday. Leaving it open all night in this hot weather. At last it didn’t blow a fuse, even if I ould feel a lot of heat from the back.
Got my balcony doors open and the fan running now, so hopefully it’s cool enough that my pc won’t blow up again. For now.
I used to long for the hot days to come, now I look at the forecast and see super hot days coming and I wonder if I’ll have to just leave my computer off all day. And effectively cut me off from my life.
Tra la.
I’m going to drown my sorrows in iced Pepsi.
I am tired of everything.

Okay, checking if the treats were okay.

Got an hour fifty on the bike today. So I got that going for me. Back to work. Rollercoastering in. I am tiiired now. Also got a Pepsi & tomato delivery. I’ll be enjoying some of that later.
I was worried about my computer during the exercise. I always keep it how. With balcony doors closed and space heater going rught at me. So I was a little concerned if my computer would blow up during that. I have a big timer running on the computer screen when I’m on the bike, to keep track of how long I have been going and when it’s time to change to different sets and intervals. I was worried it would overheat with the space heater going on a hot day. But it made through. It wasn’t doing any computations other than running the clocktimer, so no stress on the systems. Let’s see how it continues to cope. As I said I have changed the Windows power plan to balaned. I have also turn of some stuff. And switched to a different power strip. Maybe that will solve everything.
I do have started looking at new computers. It’s kind of exciting. But I dread the change and expense and don’t want to deal with it. But if I get another overheating despite the cnanges I have made, then I think I’ll have to buy a new pc. Fiddlesticks and sockleknocks.
Anyway, my leg did fine for the exercise. There’s still a little soreness from the injury, but no pain from riding the bike. So no excuses for not getting back to working hard, I guess!
Need me some iced Pesppee now.

Got an hour fiftyfive on the bike today. So I got that going for me. Phew that was a hot one. Hottest one yet, probably. Hot day and space heater going. My computer didn’t explode and I didn’t get heatstroke, so that’s good. And it was a good session, my legs felt strong. Maybe the extra stretches I did last night helped. Felt good and strong, and with the sweat pouring from the heat and effort. That’s the stuff.
Now I will enjoy me a plater of tomatoes and a few gallons of ide Pepsi. I don’t know what a gallon is, your measurements confuse and anger me. *shakes fist*
I got a mail from the neuro clinic. “We unfortunately have to reschedule your appointment on September 22nd”. Well, they rescheduled it to September 9th. So. No reason to apologise for that. Still aways off. It’s been almost two months without a blackout now, so hey maybe that thing is totally fixed yeah yeah, why not.

there is no water in the river
it has run dry
there are no fish anymore
they all died
there are no humans in the houses
they all moved out to the forest
they are living in the trees now
scared of the ground
there are no birds in the sky
they have stopped singing
there was no one left to listen
all the clocks have stopped ticking
there was no time left to lose

Oh look, a goat.. It’s Bella.

Good goat times today. A bloody gorgeous sunny day. Scorching. It’s getting up around 28C/82F. That’s very hot for Denmark. And it’s going to be getting even hotter tha next 3 days. The European heatwave is hitting Denmark.
You would think on such a hot day the goats wouldn’t want to do anything at all. But they were actually quite active, at least at first. Bella and Luna had some serious headbutting duels. And got Sky running. I had locked us in the big pen together to spend some time with her. And she started running excitedly and kinda goaded (goatet?) her into getting really fast, she was running up the hill and down and kicking up her heels, almost doing pirouettes. It was so cute and funny. The most exercise she’s had in a long time I think. I did start to think maybe it wasn’t a great idea to get her that worked up in this heat. So I sat down and tried to calm her down again. And went and fetched the water bucket for her so she could cool down. Maybe something to do on a cooler day! I can’t remember the last time I saw her move that fast that much. She’s still got some moves, even as she’s getting older. What is she now, she must be nearing 9 years old. Still the baby, according to visitors.
Also lots of sweet kids coming to say hi to the goats. They were all enjoying the lovely summer weather too.
And after all the excitement, we of course spent time just relaxing in the sun. Hopefully the goats will get through the next few days okay. The forecast says we could get up to 34C/93F. That’s something we rarely see here. Three days of that might be challenging. Maybe the goat house needs some airconditioning.
I have some other stuff, non goat, to talk about. But I’m going to need some soup now. Even though it’s too hot for soup, you know I always say it’s not too hot for soup. Soup is a state of mind, your body will just have to adjust to it.

Today was not just goating in the sunshine. I also had a doctor’s appointment in the morning. So before heading into the sun, I headed downtown.
Blood test for the diabetes and potassium stuff.
Once that was done I headed to the goats and figured I wouldn’t have to think about that all for a while.
Fastforward to later that day, today, back home from the goats and coming out of the shower, the sun scorching outside. And then I got a txt message. From the doctor’s office. Huh, I though. The message confirmed my appointment for next week. Huh, I thought. So I got my computer turned on and went to the online patient portal. And there was a message from my doctor. They got the results back from the blood tests already, and unfortunately my potassium is down again. I stopped taking the suppllements as directed about a month ago. So without supplements my potassium is too low. That’s not good. And the doctor wanted me to come in next week so we can try to figure out what’s going.
Sigh. So now I have to deal with that next week.
There’s always something. I know most of the things are negligible, often not even worth worrying about. But there’s never nothing. There’s always something.
I am tired. Of dealing with things. And now my depression is shouting in my face that what’s the point in trying to be healthy when my body is going to fail me anyway, what is the point of trying when you inevitably fail?
As I mentioned, the next three days are scheduled to be super hot. My plan is, was, will be, to work really hard and exercise and sweat off the pounds and really make an effort. And now my depression is screaming in my face to just sleep late, sit in front of the computer, order cake and pizza. At least you will feel good in the moment, then you can worry about the aftermath later.
Yeah yeah yeah. I’ll do the work hard thing, take advantage of the heat wave. But man. Depression is a bee, buzz kill.
And I’ll see how it goes next week with the doctor. I am imagining it’s not something we can just talk out, I will probably need more appointments, more tests, examinations, invasive questions, things I don’t want to deal with. More things, instead of nothing.
I am lucky to live in a country with excellent health care, lucky to have a family that supports me, lucky to have a great support system online, treasured friends.
Those are things I am thankful for.

Got an hour fifty on the bike today. So I got that going for me. Hot weather, raincoat on, space heater going. It’s tough, but I love it when the going gets tough. On the bike at least. I will do my best to stick to the plan, to work hard. As temperatures soar and the European heatwave cooks Denmark. I feel like a slab of meat on the gril. Just turn me over periodically and douse me with barbie q sauce.
I also did some detective work about my potassium levels today. Maybe came up with an explanation for the low levels. Maybe not. But maybe?
I was trying to think if I could come up with a reason why my potassium levels are too low. Maybe it’s something my body, my organs, whatever. Can’t really do anything about that on my own. What if it’s something from the outside? I take a bunch of supplements and vitamins and stuff like that. I was thinking if something I take might affect my potassium levels. I remembered when trying to find ways to improve my sleep that I think I read about apple cider vinegar affecting magnesium. i take quite a bit of acv, it’s supposed to help fat loss and blood sugar management. I take it in tablet forms because I’m paranoid about the acid damaging my teeth. But I know magnesium and potassium are kind of related, at least they are often talked about together in the stuff I have looked at. So I wondered to myself I wondered, if acv might affect magnesium, might it affect potassium too?
I went to Dr Google, who you should always trust and listen to, and it suggested that acv might cause low potassium. At least if you take too much of it. I am not sure if the amount I take would be enough to cause this. But it’s the best guess I have had so far.
So. I have sent off a message to my doctor. Basically saying “acv bla bla, would it be an idea if I completely stop taking acv and we wait 2-3 weeks and I come in and get blood tests done again and we see if my potassium is better?”
I haven’t got a reply yet, and it’s 3 pm on a Friday so I guess I won’t. I think I will call in to the doctor’s office on Monday. And hear if it’s okay that we cancel the appointment I have next week with the doc. I really hope so. I would like to avoid going to that appointment next week. Then I could wait 2-3 weeks and just go get blood tests done and then maybe everything would be fine and maybe that would be all I needed to have done for this.
Wouldn’t that be handy?
Let’s hope that’s how it goes. It does make sense to me. The acid is burning away the ptoassium, or however that works. And that’s why my potassium is too low. That would be a nice simple cause and effect with an easy solution.
Let’s my hopes up!
I’m going to have myself some nice tomatoes and iced Pepsi tonight, and sweat my butt off for the weekend. And try not to listen to the depression.
One day a day.

Now I know what flourballs feel like in a pot of soup. I’m boooooiling.
I have both balcony doors open, and the fan pointed right at me. And I still feel like … I can’t.. complete… metaphor… brain.. is… melting.
Anyway, if it wasn’t for my worry about my computer, I wouldn’t mind so much. I think I can hope better with the heat than with cold. And I feel cold even when it’s not cold. All it takes is a breeze and I feel cold.
But okay, it IS very hot now. Very very. Very. Hot.
I wonder if my computer will survive the day. It hasn’t had an electric shock and overheat shutdown since I did the changes to the power settings and changed the power strip and shut off some ervices. But I don’t know if the changes I made has had a real effect or if it’s just because I’m being so careful and taking precautions to not stress the system. I don’t want to tiptoe around my computer for the rest of my life, I need to be able to use it fully. Like editing goat videos without fear of losing all the work i did to a shutdown.
Researching the computer stuff has made me really want a new computer. It’s just going to be so expensive. Sigh. Maybe I can sell goat berries, they can sell like crystals right?

The forecast for tomorrow says 36C/97F. I honestly cannot remember ever seeing temperatures that high in a forecast. I’m not saying it hasn’t happened before in Denmark, I just don’t recall it.
And just to showcase what Danish summe weather is like, the forecast for Tuesday says 21C/70F. And that’s even a decent summer’s day for Denmark. Pretty big dip from Saturday to Tuesday, though.
It’s going to be interesting exercising in 36/97 degrees. I better drinks my waters.
It’s 11 pm now, and survivably cool. With the fan going.

Ooh, one of our videos has gone a tiny bit viral. 12.000+ views. Most of our videos land between 4-700 views. Every few days we’ll get a video that breaks a thousand. But it’s been a long time since we had this many views on a video. I used to try to game the algorithm and get popular and make memes and all that. I try not to worry about all that anymore. I’m thankful for all the familiar faces I see on the page, the names you get to know and the lovely feeling that there are people who enjoy what you post, and it’s lovely when you can send some positivity to people.
But it is fun when you see a video get popular. And Bella’s newfound habit of sliding down the ramps is pretty funny.
And now I think I need to get to bed because i am tired and heated.
27/6 2026

Thank you everyone for the comments, advice, support. I appreciate it. Don’t have the capacity to reply to every comment, but I really appreciate that people care about me.
Heading to be soon now. I was going to exercise tomorrow again, but considering the blackout and all, maybe I shouldn’t. I’ll see how I feel tomorrow.
I have scheduled a delivery of Pepsi, and bananas. To get that potassium, hopefully.
I’m pretty sore now, because of the blackout I didn’t get to stretch properly after today’s exercise. So that’s not great. It’s tempting to think that the severe heat was the cause, but my previous blackouts have mostly been in much cooler temperatures, so I don’t think it’s necessarily connected to that. But I don’t know. But it seems safe to say that my issues are certainly not fixed, so I’ll be trying to make it to that neuro appointment in September. I don’t really think the potassium deficiency is the cause of the blackouts, since my potassium levels have been fine in the past when I had blackouts.
But I don’t know. I am tired and depressed and want to give up. But hey hey, I fight to lvie another day. One day a day.
Thank you everyone for caring, those who do. I appreciate it and I am sorry to be a cause of concern.

Oh hello there, I didn’t see you come in. I am in pain. My whole body feels like it was run over by a truck. I guess I didn’t get to stretch properly fast enough yesterday because of the blackout. My ribs are hurting too. I wonder if I fell or something. Or maybe it’s dehydration or something. I don’t know. Just know my whole body aches. It’s not super bad, but it’s not fun.
Originally I had planned to exercise again today, but I suppose I better take a break. It’s still very hot, although not the record breaking highs like yesterday.
My memories of yesterday are fragmented. It’s all a bit of a blur. I am feeling tired, sad and hurting. Tra la.
Thank you everyone for all the support. I appreciate that you care about me.

I am not feeling great. My whole body aches. I sneezed a couple of times and it hurt my ribs. I feel like I’ve been run over by a truck.
And then there’s the mental anguish of having more blackouts and what to expect.
Did I mention my MP3 player disappeared yesterday after I exercised? Apparently when I was blacked out I moved boxes around and stuff. I was getting in a panic over my missing MP3 player because without that my exercising would be severely hindered. Turned out I had thrown it in the trash can, I think? Weird.
i worry about what I might do when I black out. I seem to either go into some kind of catatonic state, or in some kind of autopilot state where I actually do things. Like opening the balcony door. What if I had walked on the balcony and fallen over the railing?
Or what if it happens when i get a grocery delivery. I got one today. mostly for banana. I ate my last bananas yesterday, and I figure since I apparently need potassium I better oder some new ones, even though my origina plan asn’t to get another order until the end of next week. But I wanted those bananas, and I can always use more Pepsi for my stock.
It was a little nervewracking sitting there watching the delivery van approach on the tracker, and worrying what if I black out now? Would I let him in, would I get the order or miss it?
Well, it went fine. This time. Hopefully there will be a month or two till the next blackout… and then it’s almost September and maybe the neuro clinic can help me.
I’m just depressed and hurting now. And it’s so hot. Not quite as hot as the last couple of record breaking days. But plenty hot enough.
Okay, in the spirit of total disclosure, I got pizza and cake today. Self mediating. I figure it’s not too bad if I get that in the weekend, then work hard during the week. I might not be able to get super skinny then, but maybe I’ll do better mentally. Keep my metabolism going. I don’t know. But I did today, so that’s that. Blueberry pie and pizza, doesn’t take the physical pain away but at least it give some pleasure. And some banana for the potassium. And iced Pepsi.
Alright I’ll shut up now. I am struggling. But I fight to lve another day, one day a day.
Thank you all for the support.

Okay, got the ventilator looked at.
It took a little longer than expected. The ventilator tech guy had said he would come around 11, maybe sooner if possible. Ten to eleven he called and said that the job he was on had taken longer than expected and he asked if he could come tomorrow instead. I hemmed and hawed a little and told him that I’d really like to get it looked at today. Didn’t really want another day of nervous waiting. He said okay, he’d be there around 12.15 then. And around 12.45 ish he arrived. Haha. Well, that was fine, I understand with service people like that you can’t always get an exact time, and I used the wait to get some important computer stuff done.
And then he got to work, he brought a bunch of equipment and he measured their flow levels and unscrewed covers and all sort of fancy stuff. He told me that their output was within the normal range, but that he would try to help me so they weren’t so invase. He got some noise plugs that he put into the vent system. And he went up on the roof to see if there was anything he could adjust up there with the air intake. And I guess he called the main office and got permission to adjust some things. He was really nice and friendly and helpful, all in all.
And with all he did, the system seems considerably quieter and the gust of wind is not so powerful. The proper amount of suction? (You’re welcome, fellow Craig Ferguson fans). Well, it’s still quite a bit stronger than in the old apartment. I am honestly not sure if the level it’s at now is comfortable enough for me. Or if I still want to put some cloth over it. I am very sensitive to the cold and the breeze. I’ll have to see how I feel. But it’s definitely better, and he did as much as he could. I’m just happy it got done today and now I can put that all behind me.
That’s a relief.
I’m going to relax for the rest of the day. I didn’t have a good night last night. Threw up quite violently. Fun!
I’ll sit back and enjoy the gently breeze.

Got an hour fifty on the bike today. So I got that going for me. Trying to right the course again, after some unealthy days. I fall so easily, and so hard, back into bad habits.
A tough one today. Very tired and hurting head, legs felt weak. It was a struggle, but I did it, so that’s good. And tomatoes waiting for me. Do the right thing. Why do bad things hae to taste so good?
So far the adjusted ventilator is working out pretty well. It’s definitely an improvement. Still not completely sure if I want to cloth it up. We have hot days coming, it’s not bad to have some airflow when it’s really hot out. And in.
Got myself a pulse oxi meter device thing. Measuring oxygen in the blood. Results so far seem to indicate that I have enough blood in my oxygen. No wait, the other way around. So that’s good. I’ll have to try to remember to measure it if I should have another blackout. Maybe I’m over them now, yes maybe.
One day a day, this is way.

Good goat times today. Not without challenges though. First off I didn’t sleep well so I was very tired. And my legs were worn down. I have been working hard on the bike, but normally the walk to the goats is easy. Today my legs felt like spaghetti. I don’t know if I haven’t stretched enough or it’s just that I have been working so hard. But it was a bit of a staggering zombie walk to the playground.
Then I get there and something seemed wrong with Bella. Normally she’s the first at the gate to greet me, and treats. But she didn’t get up when I got there today, she sat in the goat house entrance. And when I came up to her and gave her som treats, she seemed like she couldn’t eat them, she tried but they just popped out of her mouth again.
So I was prettyworried about her. But thankfully it didn’t take too long before she was back to her old self. Maybe she was just really tired in the morning or something. She did start walking around, eating treats, she ate her breakfast. After a while she seemed completely normal again, so I don’t think there’s anything with her. I’ll try to keep an eye on her.
She got so much back to her bossy self that se ended up injuring me in fact. I was sitting on teh bench with Luna on one side and Bella on the other. And then Bella lunged to headbutt Luna. She didn’t hit me with the horns, but she barged into me and pushed me so I knocked my leg against the edge of the bench. I got a sharp corner jabbed right into a muscle on the side of my leg. I knew that would trouble. It didn’t hurt too much at first, but I felt it had hit the muscle and I figured it would get worse. And sure enough, now that I am at home it’s hurting pretty bad when I move the leg. Especially when I lift it. I may be forced to take a day or two off from the biking. Nothing serious, but right in the muscle. Not sure how long that takes to heal.
Yeah, nothing but trouble those goats! Other than all that I did have a lovely time. A hot day, a bit of a humid heat with a lot of sunshine. We had sweet visitors too, as we often do. Poor Sky got some verbal knows. One girl said “She’s got such a big butt!”. Oh dear. And they started talking about how she must be pregnant. Sheesh, Sky just can’t catch a break. Either they call her a baby or they say she has a baby in the belly. Either she’s too small or too big! Stop body shaming her! Haha. I may be to blame with all the treats and snacks I sneak her..
We were all pretty tired as the sun shone on. Normally it’s the goats zoming out in the sun, but today I was too. When I get really tired I do this old-folksy kind of thing were my head starts dropping and then I catch myself and raise, and then it goes on like that. Head hoes down, head goes up. Head goes down, head goes up. Normally I do that at the computer if I haven’t had enough sleep. But today I did it at the goat place. I wonder if anyone saw me. I was very close to just laying back and taking a nap. I may have dozed off a few times, when my head was going down. Maybe I should have gone over to the hammock.
I am quite tired and hurty now. I’m going to enjoy myself some soup, with a side of ibuprofen. I’ll have to see how the leg feels tomorrow.

Oh no!
My door is saying LOW BATTERY.
I have dreaded this moment. But now it’s here. I have to change batteries on my electronic lock.
Helle has told me that it’s very easy. And Peter, who helped me when I was moving in, showed me how to unlock the battery compartment. You have to use a tool, I think it’s called a umbraco key. And you have to unscrew it. So I have to find that tool and try to get it open and get the batteries changed. I mean, it really shouldn’t be a problem. But with my blindness and anxiety, I just can’t help worry that I’ll mess it up. And get locked in or out or something will explode. Sigh.
I guess I’ll try to change the batteries tomorrow. I’m not going anywhere during the weekend. So if I try tomorrow, then I have some time for ap anic call to Helle if I mess it up. Maybe she’d be willing to come help. But I shouldn’t need that, it should be fine. Really.
You know me, I have to worry.
Since I’m complaining already, let’s get to other things that are bothering me now.
My leg is hurting quite a bit. It’s fine when I sit still, but when I lift it, it hurts. Maybe I could have biked today, but I’m giving it a rest. Probably tomorrow too. Shouldn’t take too long before it’s fine, so I’ll give it that rest.
I’ll take it easy for now.
Also, a complaint about the post. They tried to delivery a package yesterday when I was out goating. I wasn’t there to receive it so it gets taken to the local package shop. That’s fine, that’s how it always goes. But this time they send me an email with a link with a QR code that i have to show in the shop, or use their ap. They have never done that before. What am I supposed to do without a smartphone? I can’t use the ap, I can’t show the QR code. Now, the page with the QR code also says a number code. So hopefully I can tell that code to the shop people and they can type it in and give me the package. Otherwise I’m stuck. I hate this dystopian future. Requiring smart devices to pick up packages, why? There has never been a problems before picking up packages with just the tracking number. They have put lots of functionality into the app, there’s stuff with the mail you can’t do without the app. But picking up packages is the most basic functionality, you shouldn’t require a phone for that.
I just hope it won’t be a problem picking it up without the QR code. Now I have to stress about that.
I hate QR codes in general. Poison for people without smarpthones, and obfuscating links and just generally dumb.
Okay, I think that’s all the complaints I have for now. Hopefully the battery change will go okay, hopefully the package can be picked up, hopefully my leg will heal quick.
First world problems, I know.

I don’t know if anyone other than Keiko has wondered about the sound sometimes in the background of the goat videos. I think this is the one? Kids love those swings.

Look, I’m not claiming to be a genius.
I am not claiming to be a capable person. I am not claiming that I am able to function in modern society. I’m not claiming to not ruin everything I come near.
BUT I MANAGED TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES IN MY ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCK.
How you like me now, beaches.
Ahem. Okay. Tone it down.
Haha. Well, I am relieved that it is done. It was super, super easy. Thankfully. But you know me, I have to worry about everything all the time.
Helle had told me how easy it was, and she had offered to come help me if I needed. As always she is amazing person, and getting to know her is one of the best things that has happened to me in later years, it has helped me so much.
But I’m glad I got it done. I was worried about the umbaco key and the tiny screw, I was parnoid I’d drop it and it would be gone forever among my not very well fitting floorboards (did I ever complain about that? The inspector gave the floor an A+ rating, but it is not great. There are gaps between planks and it’s uneven and stuff. I just don’t care to complain about it). Anyhoo, turns out the screw can’t come all the way loose, so you can’t even drop it. And it unscrewed super easily, the lid came off without a problem. And it was just a matter of changing the 4 standard AA batteries, I bought the replacement batteries last year already, paranoid about being ready when my lock ran out of power. It’s been one of my fears with this whole electronic lock system. Now that I have done the first replacement I feel a lot better about.
As so many things that I worry so much about, it turned out to be nothing to worry about.
My leg is still hurting quite a bit, so I’m still taking it easy. And it’s super hot. It’s getting up around 27C/80F these couple of days, and for Denmark that is scorching summe weather. And it’s the first time I have really experienced that in my new apartment, where the isolation is much better. It gets really hot in here. Did I mention that I put cloth over the ventilator again? The adjustment by the tech guy helped a lot, but I get so cold when there’s a breeze. So I put some cloth on it again to lessen the breeze. I should have waited! Yes, I am always constantly too cold or too hot. I am never like a bear’s porridge, I am never just right. But it’s ok. I prefer being too hot than too cold. Right now I have my balcony door open. Hearing the bird repellent tape fluttering in the wind. Did I mention that? I put up bird streamers of reflective bird repellent tape and spikes on the balcony railings. We have a real problem with pidgeons in the neighbourhood. It was something that I never experienced when I lived on the ground floor. But on the 6th floor you sure feel it. They make so much noise and they shit so much. People do lots of things to try to stop them. Some people just plain put netting over their whole balcony. Put spikes on the railings. We have a falconeer who comes with a falcon to try to scare them or catch the! We have nests on the roof that we hope for predator birds to move into to keep the pidgeons away. I sprayed out cinnamon water because people recommended that would keep them away. That didn’t work at all for me. I’ll see if the spikes and bird tape does anything. I don’t actually use my balcony for sitting out there, it’s too small. So for me it’s not the biggest problem. But it’s not nice have it filled with shit, and the noise gets annoying.
Anyway. That was a tangent. The main point is that I am happy I got the lock changed.
Oh and I have tried taking pictures of the postal package QR code on my digital camera. I don’t know if the package people can scan a QR code off of the screen on a digital camera, but I guess it’s something to try if they can’t just take the code verbally when I try to pick up the packae. We’ll see.
Happy weekend you all everybuddies. I hope you’re doing well. Thank you for listneing to me complain, if you do. I appreciate my support system, near and far.

It’s been a hot day.
Too hot.
Not for me. I’ve been guzzling iced Pepsi like nobody’s busines.s
But too hot for my computer. It has a tendency to overheat. Previously it has happened when I have had too many things running, stressing it with intensive programs. Today it happened twice while I didn’t have too much going on. It was just too hot in the room, I guess.
One of them was a little scary, the pc turned off and there was electric sounds and it tried coming back and it went out and then my tv shut off too. I think I may have overloaded the electric plug. yikes.
After 30 seconds or so, it turned on again and my TV too. But I was a little concerned I had blown the whole circuit up.
I could really use a new computer. This one is getting too old and it struggles with video editing and stuff. I worry there’s going to come a day when it won’t turn on again.
I ought to buy a new on. And I ought to buy it before this one blows up, because getting a new one would be much harder if I don’t have this one to do the shopping on. How many hot days like this will this pc survive?
Sigh.
I have both balcony doors open now, something I usually don’t do. And my fan going.
I just. Really don’t want to spend that kind of money. And deal with new things. Windows 11. Change. I hate change.
And computers have gotten so expensive now because AI is gobbling up all the ram. And inflation. I would probably end up having to spend a couple of thousands of dollars. I really don’t to have to do that.
I also need that new TV still, sine this one is still having problems showing white colours especially at the op, and it seriously impacts my limited vision.
But I guess I will just ignore all that and hope it doesn’t blow up and live with not being able to see the top of my screen properly. Hooray everything is fine with my head in the sand.
Worry whirry worry.
Well it’s 11 pm now and it’s decently cool. So my computer probably won’t blow up tonight.
Please donate berries to my goberryme so I can exchange them for a new computer and tv. What is the berry conersion rate tese days?
Sorry. More blood moaning. I am quite the fun friend. The Lasse you wish you hadn’t started a conversation with at a party.
I also ate too much today while not exercising because of my dud leg.
Okay, I’ll shut up. Looking forward to going to bed. i need some dreams.

It is mercifully a little cooler today. My computer hasn’t blown up yet. Although I hae been trying not to strain it too much, done multiple reboots because keeping it running for a long time without restarting seems to make things worse.
But hey, so far so good. I do have my balcony doors open and the fan going.
My leg is doing better. I probably would have been fine exercising today. But I’m giving it another day, I think it’ll be fully back to normal tomorrow.
It has been nice taking some days to relax. Unfortunately I have also, again, eaten very unhealthily. So now I am feeling bloated and kind of depressed and disappointed in myself about that. But hey. Tomorrow it’s back to the good hard work and healthy living. Thats’ for sure. You can put that in the bank and cash it.
Enjoying my iced Pepsi. Mmm, cold caffeine.
Oh, funny thing about my electronic door lock. It’s of the brand Yale and the voice is a sort of posh British lady. Yes, I have a very fancy lock. La dee dah.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go see a man about a Pepsi.
