May 10th, 2026Good goat times today. All is right when I am with the goats.
It rained overnight, so the ground was wet. But by the time I was out, so was the sun. Lovely sunny day. Sweet goats relaxing in the sunshine, in between the headbutting and begging for treats.
Nice visitors too. Kids feeding the goats. And a lady said it was good to see me and asked if I was okay. My collapse and absense was noticed apparently!
No collapses today. Although I’m not feeling quite right in the head.. but as long as it doesn’t end in an ambulance ride then I guess it’s okay.
I am really tired now. Also hungry. Better grab some soup.
There’s other stuff to talk about, but that will have to wait till later. Soup priority!

I was surprised to see this. Luna and Sky one the platform together. I wonder how that happened, normally Sky would take flight if Luna approached.

So, today I got another notice of an appointment at the neuro clinic. This one in two weeks, the first one is in a month.
I was a little confused at first, wondered if this was a replacement for the first appointment I got, maybe they managed to get me a slot sooner. But no, it’s a different appointment. This one if the eeg appointment. I am not sure if the appointment in a month is going to be for discussing results of the eeg or if it’s for other tests.
I haven’t really had a super close look at the documents yet. I am finding it a little overwhelming to be honest. It’s good that stuff is happening. But it’s scary too. And a lot. And my avoidant mind is screaming at me to.. avoid it. Bury my head in the sand. Cancel appointments. Pretend nothing is wrong. DO NOT DEAL WITH IT. But, I know that’s what i did for far too long. Now I don’t have any choice, have to deal with it.
They say you have to have dry clean hair for the eeg. I wonder if it’s ok to be bald? I’m going to call in and ask, just to be sure. It would be super weird if I had to grow out my hair haha. I haven’t had hair on my head in… decades? I would imagine a bald head would be better actually, but better to make sure I guess.
It is difficult to deal with it all. I don’t know how evident it is, since I blabber on constantly on facebook, but I am a very guarded person. And letting people in is super hard. They’re going to be looking at my brain waves and stuff. What if they find something wrong with me? Or worse, what if they find nothing wrong and there’s no explanation for what’s going on. What if they find out that my brain has been replaced by a toy train set somehow, I mean i’m not sure how that would happen but I can’t rule it out.
There’s just a lot going on right now, it’s making it hard to get back on the good path of helth too. I just want more cake and pizza and to sleep all day and hide away.
Stupid real world intruding on my brain cells.
What if my brain still communicates on a 56kbps modem, I hope they have the right kind of plugs to connect up.
The letter says that it’s okay if I show up tired, so I can sleep during the test. Sounds like I don’t HAVE to sleep, I can just relax. Or sleep.
I’ll have to look at it all tomorrow and make a game plan.
Maybe I can get a brain transplant. One from Abby. NORMAL

Today is Liberation Day in Denmark.
It is not a day that has ever really mattered to me. I know that’s not a great thing to say. But you know. It has just been a mark in the calendar. It’s not even a holiday so there isn’t even the annoyane of stores being closed. It’s just… this strange artefact. It seems like fiction. like Matador, that we all watched over and over. Something kind of funny, kinda quaint.
For those of us who didn’t live through it, i mean.
It’s kind of hard imagining it being real. And imagining living through. Occupying forces. War.
And now, we live in a time where the leader of our greatest ally is winning peace prizes while threatening to take our territory by military force.
Is this going to be quaint and funny to some future generations?
I mean, it’s kind of funny right now. But just more “insane funny” than “haha funny”.
Looking back at human history, how insane has it all been. I thought we were progressing. Moing forward. But something has happened. And we are regressing.
Now, of course you can’t blame that all on one person.
But I’d sure like to.
bla bla.
Light a candle, start a fire.

Got an hour twenty on the bike today. So I got that going for me.
Back in the saddle. Again again again. The rollercoaster continues. I once again fell backwards, had some pretty bad days. There has just been so much, and I have not been coping well with it.
So now it’s back to square minus 10. And I will have to try to do better, and keep at it.
Went from treading water to sinking to the bottom.
But hey oh, got on the bike today. So that’s step one. I’ll get back to the surface.
Just have to do it bit by bit, don’t let it overwhelm me.
I tried calling the neuro clinic today, to ask if it’s ok to come in bald. I assume it is, but I just want to hear it from them. Their letter said their phone hours are 8-15. The phone system told me their phone hoursare 8-11. Well alrightey then. I guess I’ll try again tomorrow then!
Bit by bit, little by little, step by step, day by day, one day a day.
Not doing great mentally and physically, but I can get through the next hour.And then do that 24 times and you’re through a day. And so on and so forth. I WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE NO MATH.

Good goat times today. A lovely sunny day. Not super hot, but when you’re just sitting outside in the sunshine, it’s lovely.
Lots of lazing about with the goats. Lune was funny sitting down today, she kept rolling over on her side. And I may have given her a tiny push to roll her over and expose her belly. You know I gotta scratch that goat belly..
Sweet visitors running around too, and the lovely fragrance of Jeanette making popcorn on the campfire.
Just a lovely spring day.
Had another big excursion today, but I’ll tell you about that later. I need to get some some soup in me, before I scratch my belly.

Hey, look at that view!
I got to visit Helle in her apartment today! How lovely. She actually lives in the building where I got that first offer for a new apartment, the one I did not take.
But yes, as I mentioned the other day I have to return the mobile broadband router that I was using for my emergency connection when I moved in. And since Helle had business in the ISP store downtown, she offered to take my router and return. Which means I don’t have to worry about return labels and shipping and whatnots. So that’s a big help, and as always Helle is just the best and so helpful.
She also helped me with some print work. There’s a form I have to fill out before the EEG stuff, she printed that for me. And I wrote a little notice for my wallet, about my situation and who I am. In case I pass out in the street again and someome who doesn’t know me finds me. Apparently the paramedics checked my wallet and didn’t find any ID, I do have some ID tucked in somewhere. But anyway. A little notice explaining why I may be passed out and some info, I thought that would be a smart thing to have on me. And Helle even has a little machine that can make laminated cards, so she offered to do that for me too. Super handy! Now I have a little laminated info card to bring with me.
So once again I consider myself super lucky that I have gotten to know Helle. What an amazing person she is. Always working to make the world a better place, for individuals like myself and for the bigger picture. I can’t say enough good things about her. I am so thankful.
And other than that it was just really nice to see her place and spend a little time with. I’m not good at socializing, but she showed me around and I got to meet her cat (who is just bigboned, we don’t use the F word). It was really sweet, and Helle is great company.
I have been really struggling lately, and it feels like there’s so much I have to deal with and thing about. It’s so good to know people like Helle and Jeanette, and feel like they are on my side. And sometimes I even spend time with two-leggers.

Got an hour thirtyfive on the bike today. So I got that going for my.
Trying trying trying to stay on track. My brain is demanding cake and pizza and to be left in bed. But here I am, not in bed. And not eating anything bad. And tired legs after a good workout. I guess that’s a win.
And got other stuff done. Got the call to the neuro clinic done. Asked them if it was okay to show up with a bald head. And yes, as suspected, that’s fine. The lady I talked to said it would probably be even better tahn with a head of hair. So that’s fine. I figured as much. I just wanted to be sure. Imagine if I’d shown up for the EEG and they’d said “go home and grow some hair”. IMAGINE. It’s just better to have asked and made sure, even if the question seems obvious.
There’s a week and a half till the EEG exam. I’m not worried about the test itself, but dealing with all the transport and peoples and all that, I am not looking forward to all that. But hopefully I can get some answers from it.
Also today got a deliver of Pepsi and cucumbers. Pepsi was on sale, so I got 15 bottles of 1½ litres. And funnily enough, I’m planning to not drink any Pepsi Friday/Saturday/Sudnay. Going to try to do a little decaf test. I tried that once before, but didn’t realise that the replacement soda I was using also had caffeine. This time I have done research got some other diet sodas that do not have caffeine. So, I’ll still be having diet soda, which I know is not good. But at least I’ll get to try a few days without caffeine. I figure it won’t make any real difference. I think I’m probably pretty desensitized to caffeine. With the Pepsi and Faxe, I get probably 2-3 litres of caffeinated drink EVERY day. For decades.
Anyway, we’ll see how that goes. An experiment for the weekend.
There’s still a lot of stuff to deal with. But as always, the Low Battery indicator is blinking. Theoretically I should schedule a dentist visit in the week between the two neuro appointments. But I just.. don’t have capacity. I need like a week of nothing serious happening in between the neuro appointments. I need… time. I can barely handle one thng a week.
Anyway. At least I got exercised.

I did not come home empty handed from my visit to Helle yesterday. She gifted me this “stay positive” sign. On brand! I haven’t given proper thought to the placement yet, but for now it’s resting up against my old computer, next to my treasured goat day painting. First thing i see when I enter my apartment. I need to clean the desk, but it’s nice to have some positive input in your eyeball.

Keiko asked to see Helle’s cat. So here she is, Otilie!
She’s on a diet. I think Helle said that the vet had called her.. Denmark’s fattest cat? Or the world’s? Or something like.While Helle insists it’s just a metbolism issue.. but the vet felt a diet was in order. My vet says the same about me.

Got an hour thirtyfive on the bike today. So I got that going for me.
Unfortunately it hasn’t been the best of days. I went to bed pretty early yesterday, thinking I’d get up early today. When I woke up today my depression was really bad. So bad that when I tried to get out of bed my head said “I just can’t”. So I ended up staying in bed 3-4 hours longer. Every time I tried to get up, my head refused.
But I did get up eventually. And I managed to refuse my head’s demands to order cake and pizza and sit and watch youtube all day. That’s what my depression craves.
So I’m glad I managed to get on the bike. It wasn’t fun. I had the “slept too much” headache and the sadness. But sometimes it’s nice to switch the head off and just do the physical thing. So at least I got that done.
I wonder if it’s caffeine withdrawal that kicked me, or if it was just regular depression that I often get. It does feel worse than normal, but who knows. Sure could go for a Pepsi and a pizza right now…
But I’ll be good, for today. See how it goes.
One day a day. Adopt, adapt and improve. Stay Positive.
Et puis seulement quand c’est fini, alors on danse

Oh hi, hello. How’s it going?
I am feeling considerably better today than yesterday. I don’t know if it’s because I slept better (less) or the caffeine detox is improving or if it’s just random. It’s hard to tell sometimes, because honestly I am a big jumbled mess of various pains, mental and physical. Doesn’t help that especially during wekeends there’s a neighbour that smokes a lot and it gets in my apartment, I think that contributed a lot to my headache yesterday.
But anyway. Day 3 of no Pepsi. I miss it. I’m going to try to keep it going for another couple of days, and then make an evaluation if I feel like it improves anything in my life, especially sleep. I need to feel that not drinking Pepsi has a positive effect. Otherwise I’m going back to Pepsi. Because I do miss my dark mistress.
I finally sat down and got the hospital info compiled, all the stuff that needs to be done for my two upcoming neuro clinic visits. Got it mailed off to mom (happy mother’s day, thank you for all that you do!). She’s going to come with me to the appointments. I’m going to need help finding my way around the hospital place. I think it’s pretty big and complicated, but my parents have some experience with it. And they have sight, wich helps. And she’ll fill out the form with info that they need, about health status, med list, all that info. I sure do appreciate the help.
Hopefully next week will be pretty quiet and simple. And then the week after, the hospital business starts. And we’ll see how it goes and what happens.
One day a day.
Thank you alls for your help and support. I am glad your mothers had you, and those of you who are mothers I salute you. One of the loveliest things has been seeing some of my friends from way back become wonderful mothers to amazing children. Thank you for all you. May the future right itself and make a better world for the next generations.

Sky is kissing the week goodbye. Let’s hope the next one will go smoothly.
Day three of no Pepsi has been conquered. We’ll see how long I can and want to keep going. As with all things, one day a day.
