Good goat times today. So good to get out to the goat place and get some happy inputs.
Still storming today, although not quite as bad as yesterday. It was raining when I started to my walk, but pretty much right when I got to the playground the rain stopped and the sun came out. How’s what for symbolic.
I did get some bad news today.
It’s Easter vacation, so Jeanette wasn’t there. But the replacement guy told me that one of the hens had died. So that’s sad. They have been locked up for many motnhs now, because there has been bird flu in Denmark. And the feathers I have been really close with have been gone for quite a while. So I don’t feel super close to our current group. But it’s still sad. I miss having a group of feathers out with us. I hope the remaining ones can come out some time in the future.
But the goats are good. Not fond of the mud, after the rain and storm. But enjoying their snacks and treats and breakfast and snacks and second breakfast and so on.
I did some manual labour in the goat pen today too. Made use of another of my boards. I’ll show you later. Nothing terribly interesting.
I need me some soup now. Stormy day, good soup weather.

Here’s what I worked on today. It’s just an extension of the deck outside the goat shaft. The board on the left. Bella is inspecting. A little more space to stand on,,especially for Sky under the half roof when it rains.
So, nothing special. Probably not worth all the work I actually put in it. Had a shovel out and ended up digging through dirt with my hands, trying to get it aligned and settled. Ah well. Bella is giving it a looksee. It soon had goats standing on it, so it works okay for that at least. Two boards left-

I want to wish a very happy birthday to my dad today.
If my calculations are correct, he is 79 today. No spring chicken. But hanging in there. It is hard to see him get more and more frail. His memory worse and worse. He will call me to tell me something, and then ten minutes later call me to tell me the same thing. Showing up at my old apartment instead of the new. I wish I could fix it for him, make it better.. Alzeheimer’s and dementia is a cruel thing.
But he’s still fairly active. Doing things to help me and my brother. I believe he still meets with his stamps mate every weekend. Goes to a senior / dementia group place. Does things with mom. He always says, he can’t stand to just be home and do nothing. He still feels a need to get out and do things. But it is clear that it is getting harder and harder for him.
Happy birthday, dad. Thanks for everything you have done and still do.

Got an hour and a half on the bike today. So that’s something.
It was close to being a fail day. I didn’t sleep well last night, tummy problems. I did get up in good time. But then I was tired and I thought “oh I’ll take a quick nap in my comfy chair”. And that nap turned into a 3 hour sleep. Tempted to just sleep more and moe and give up on the day and order bad stuff and let myself down again. But instead I did manage to get up (again) and jump on the bike. So that’s a success I guess.
I was in pain after the bike ride though. My head hurting something fierce, and my whole body really. I have back problems on and off, but it felt like my whole body was just in pain. Lower back, higher back, even my arms. Felt like all muscles were inflamed and bones crushed.
So that was fun!
I feel a little better now, after some stretching. So hopefully I’m on the mend. And can keep on fighting to be healthier. Fight to live another day.

Got some pretty bad news yesterday. I mean, it’s another case of “First world problems” / “Lasse’s a big baby”. But it’s going to have a severely negative impact on my life.
The grocery delivery service I use have removed the flourballs. The dumpligs. As some of you know, I love the flourballs. They are an essential part of my soups. Honestly, sometimes I think I like the flourballs more than the soup itself.
So this is kind of a disaster for me.
It was one of the original reasons I started using the delivery service. They had the big packs of flourballs. When shopping in stores those were so hard to find. The packs with only flourballs were rare, mostly there were just the packs with flourballs and meatballs. I can’t have those darn meatballs. It was a constant struggle trying to get the flourball packs. I used to ask my parents to find them too, because they visit more stores and can see better. So they’d buy the packs for me when they could.
Can’t really ask them to do that these days, with their diminished mobility and other issues. They still have two packs in their freezer. One pack is one year over the last-use date. The other pack is two years over the last-use date. I’m still going to get them and take my chances.
And I have 3/4ths of a pack in my freezer. So, using the expired packs I should be able to get through a month maybe. Then what. Stop eating soup? Sigh.
I emailed the delivery site. Support person apologised and said she would send my mail on to their stock people, or whatever. The flourballs are kind of seasonal, mostly for winter months. I understand that. They were always much harder to find in spring and summer in the stores too. But the delivery site had them for sale all year round the last few years. I guess there’s a chance they will bring them back in stock in fall or winter. But there’s no guarantee of that, they have been completely deleted from their site now. Even though support person agreed with me that you could absolutely eat soup all year round. Sigh.
So what? I’m not sure. My mom promised to look for them in the stores they go to. I don’t think there’s much chance of her finding any, but I’ll cross my fingers. I’m trying to look at some websites too, but it doesn’t look good.
I guess wort case scenario, and most likely scenario, is that I will have to start buying the meat and flour ball packs. Because those are still being sold on the delivery site. And then I will just have to open each pack and sort through them all and throw out all the meatballs. That will be a huge hassle and it will make it twice as expensive because I’ll be throwing out 50% of the packs. But. At least I could still get flourballs.
It just really bums me out. It got me pretty depressed yesterday. You don’t know how lucky you are till it’s gone. I haven’t been appreciating how nice it was to just have easy access to those balls. I didn’t even have to work for it, I just had all the balls I wanted within my grasp.
Sigh. Things like this that make me want to just give up. Why bother. Why try. Just sleep all day and order junk food and hope diabetes will end it all for me soon.
But some might say that isn’t a productive way of thinking. Some might say.
Balls.

Got an hour and a half on the bike today. Groovy. Keeping at it, that’s good.
Easier to get started today. Didn’t go quite as long as I wanted. Still dealing with more pain than usual. But at least I’m working on things.
My blood sugar was perfect, and my blood pressure a tiny bit high but better than it was before the new meds. So that stuff is looking decent.
Doing my best, what else is there to do?!

Good news everybody!
I have succesfully grasped balls.
Five big packs of flourballs in my freezer.
What a relief. If I ration them strictly that should last me a couple of months, maybe more.
I used Wolt, wich is actually the biggest rival of the pizza / junkfood site I usually use, the one that will be closing down in Denmark soon. So sometimes in the future if I want pizza I will probably order through Wolt. But they also do supermarket deliveries. I think it’s basically like Door Dash in America? Basically a courier that goes to the supermarket and gets the items toy order and bring them to you. And there was a supermarket with flourballs in stock. Now, I don’t know if I will be able to continue getting flourballs from Wolt. Since they are something of a seasonal thing, it is possible they may go out of stock in the supermarkets too. But at least I have a freezerful now, and if I’m lucky maybe I can get more as needed.
So panic averted. For now. Good thing I didn’t get overly dramatic about it! Thank you everyone who offered advice and sympathy. I know it’s not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, with the world on fire and everything going to heck. But I really love my flourballs. I may try out those gnocchi things too…
In other good news, I have received my new bus card too. Also quite a relief. Just that I got it, and so quickly. With all the problems with the new postal service in Denmark, I was worried when or even if it would get to me. I also have another really important thing coming soon, and having the postal service function in a timely manner would be really important in that regard.
So now I have my new and my old bus card. Which means I can bring both next time I have to go downtown. And I can see if I can figure out how to use the new one. And if I can’t, then I can fall back on the old one. The old one works till the end of May, I believe, so I have some time to learn how to use the new one. I’m happy about that.
Nice to have some good things happening. I have had a hard time coping with stuff for a while. Let’s hope things are looking up now. For me, I mean. The world in generall.. ehh, don’t check the news.

Good goat times today. A beautiful, sunny day. A bit cold in the morning, and some clouds here and there. But lots of sunshine and some blue skies. Feels good, man.
The goats must have been feeling the spring feeling. Lots of grunting and headbutting. And then lots of lazy sitting in the sun. It’s just very lovely.
We had lots of sweet visitors in the pen. Kids having fun with the goats. I thought I might have to watch Luna closely, because she has sometimes been a litte troublesome with kids in the past, and she was pretty worked up in the spring sun. She was growling at Bella, she even reared up like she was going to try to headbutt me. So I thought I’d better be careful. But she was so good with the kids today. Calmly standing there while they petted her. I have rarely been so good at hte petting goat stuff.
So the visitors got some sweet moments. One kid was quite excited. He got kisses from Luna and was so happy about it, telling his adults again and again. And when Luna was shaking hands with me, the boy came in and got handshakes too. He was just very excited and happy. A couple of sweet and much more tentative girls got to pet Luna too while their adult was reassuring them that everything was fine.
So that was all lovely. Jeanette got the campfire going for the visitors too. Lovely day for it.
I did some hard labour too, but I’ll show you that later.
I got good and bad news about the chickens.
The good news is that they were finally allowed to come out and join us. How long has it been since they were out of their enclosure? Months. Half a year? It has been very long. It was really nice to have them out with us again. Makes everything more lively.
The bad news is that the hen that passed over Easter was Red Sonja. Jeanette told me. So that is very sad. She was such a sweet and funny girl. She really was like a feathered goat, she was just part of the herd and acted like a goat in so many ways. Apart from butting heads. But yeah, that’s really a bummer. She was the last one of the old crew too. No one left from the old days now. I don’t really know any of the new ones. It’s lovely to have them outside with the goats, but I don’t have any personal relation to any of them.
It’s been so long since we had Sonja out with us, so it’s not like it will make a big difference to our every day life. But it’s just very sad. Her and Henrietta Solo were my favourites. Rest in peace, Sonja.
They are not sure what happened to her, but she may have been sick.
So, a bittersweet day. But lots of good sunny goat time. Ended the day sitting with Sky in the grass. Rubbing her hooves. And when I’d stop she’d paw my leg like “you’re not done, keep going”. The goats are always so sweet when they are tired in the sunshine.
And now, it’s soup time. Because soup is good all year round, even on sunny days.

Breakfast time. Sky has feathered company again. So lovely to have the hens out with us again, after such a long time.
For those who may have missed the news, unfortunately Red Sonja passed away over Easter. She was a special feathery girl. The last of the old feathers. I don’t really know the new ones so well, but I’m glad they can finally come out and spend time with us again.

Here’s what I worked on today.
It’s not really something new. We had the logs there next to the bench for years, I think.
But I had to rebuild it. The logs were placed on an upside-down pallet. And that pallet was removed. Which meant the logs were rolling around, one of them somehow ended up outside the goat pen. They really needed that pallet to anchor them.
I noticed Jeanette had taken it over to the bunny house. I think they use pallets there because it gets flooded. Well, I asked her if they needed all the pallets or if I could get one back. And she told me I could. And I got a bigger pallet then the old one. So that worked out really well.
Maybe it wasn’t a good idea for my back to be working on that. The new pallet was so heavy it was quite the effort to drag it over to the bench. And a couple of the logs are super heavy too. With the increased pain I have been having, maybe I shouldn’t have logged all that around. But hey you know, anything for the goats.
So I got that rebuilt. And the new build is better. The bigger pallet means the logs are more secured, and the elevation is higher. A good thing for goats to jump on. So I’m happy about that.

Here’s Sky on the new rebuilt log build on the bigger pallet.
I think the goats like when I build stuff. Mostly because I give them treats to pose on the new stuff so I can get a decent pic for facebox. Build more stuff, give us more treats!

Got an hour forty on the bike today. So I got that going for me.
Working hard. It was a struggle today. At first my lung capacity seemed markedly worse than normal. About halfway through it seemed to get better. So a decent effort. I have lost the weight I put on during the downard spiral after my birthday. Gotta keep at it now.
Blood sugar levels and blood pressure still okay.
My back is still hurting a lot. Used to be it would give me problems when I was up and active, out walking etc. The last week or so it has periodically been really bad just when doing nothing. There have been days when I have needed to take painkiilers just to be able to sit in my chair and do computer stuff. So that’s not great. But I’m trying my exercises, stretches, posture. It was better today on the bike than last time.
I wonder what it’s like to just be okay. Mentally. Physically. Imagine not having demons barking in your head, pain stabbing in all your bones, your blood trying to poison you. I wonder what it’s like.
I know a lot of my problems are of my own making, and a lot of people have it much worse. But, your own pain is usually the one you feel the most.
I will keep on keeping on. Fight to live another day.

Depression grasped me today. It’s always lurking somewhere, ready to grope me like failed realestate reality show host at beauty pageant.
More back pain, just sitting in my chair.
Last night in bed I was feeling myself up, no not like that. I was just feeling my ribs. There’s some kind of soreness on the right side of my rib cage. It almost feel like another bruised rib. It would figure that I break and bruise my ribs so esily now that it just happens without me even noticing it. Haha. I don’t know if it’s a rib thing. And if it could cause the other pain.
But hey.
I made myself mashed potatoes today. From powder. That was a bout a year past the expiration date. But it’s powder, how bad can it go? So far I have survived.
I am tired of the world. It feels like my memory is getting worse and worse. I have to look at that new TV stuff. I think it actually snowed here, but since I haven’t left the house all weekend, hopefully it will all be gone by the time I get out. I need more sunshine
I love John McGinley.
I mean, not romantically. Probably.
I just want to dream, and be a folded paper boat in the rain.

That’s all for now.

Good goat times today. Back to the happy place, and the happy goats. Still enjoying all the branches and pine. They have a lot to snack on.
It was a bit cold in the morning, but we got a good deal of sunshine and it was pretty nice. Lots of visitors today, kids running around in the pen. Many of them are a little developmentally challenged in various. Some of them run around and can be a bit loud. Bella and Luna aren’t fans of that. But Sky, sky is just sweet and patient and not phased by any of that. The bet petting goat.
Good classic goat fun today, and now I’m going to have me some good classic soup. Onwards and onward.

Not doing so great today.
I was going to get up and exercise today. I got up at 8 am. At 8.15 I was back in bed. Too depressed to function.
Got up again around 1pm. So that was a nice 13 hours in bed.
And then I ordered cake and pizza.
I am lost in my head. I can’t find my way out. I need to… do better.
Since my birthday is has just been… faltering. Falling apart. Silently drowining.
People who haven’t known depression don’t know how crippling it can be.
And addiction. Don’t tell me fat and sugar isn’t an addiction. I just want to eat junk food constantly.
I have spent more than 2000dk/300usd on that food delivery site this month! That’s so fkn dumb and insane. I guess it’s a good thing that site is going to close in Denmark?
I have spent almost zero kroners on that site the previous five months. But since my birthday I just fell in deep.
And I feel like sht.
Okay. Well. It’s the last day of March. Last day of my birthday month. April is going to be better. No fooling. No more junk food or cake. I have to cut myself off, because I can’t have a little. If I have a little I will have a lot, and want it all.
Now I feel sad and depressed and tired from sleeping too much and hating myself for being weak, and so on and so forth.
I mean, I’ll be fine. Just not today. But tomorrow’s another day. The first day in the rest of our days.

There are three men. Standing side by side. With their sides to the camera.
They are all wearing top hats.
The top hats are three different sizes.
The man on the right is wearing a tiny top hat. Like a thimble balancing on his head.
The man in the middle is wearing a perfectly normal sized top hat.
The man on the left is wearing a comically large top hat, it is so big that it covers his entire head and goes down over parts of his shoulders.
…
That was from my dreams last night / today.
I really miss my wild and crazy dreams. Especially my vivid ones. It’s tempting to go back to the crazy sleep schedule, to get the greams back. Sleeping for 14-15 hours one night and then 2 hours the next. I’m sure it was very unhealthy. But the dreams … so wonderful.
Thank you everyone for the support today. I will try to do better, for myself. April showers bring.. something flowers.
Oh and, i got a message back from my doctor. After one doc had said to take 1 potassium pill a day for two weeks, and the next doc said 4 pills for 5 days. Doc said it was fine to do it for two weeks, but she recommended I take at least 2 pills a day. So that’s what I’ll do. Take 2-3 potash pills for two weeks and then go get my bloodwork done again. And taking my new blood pressure meds too of course. And hopefully eating better and exercising and goating. That will make me feel better, I know it will. The bad eating and being lazy feels good in the moment. But then it feels bad. It feels bad physically and mentally. Exercise and goats and eating better, that doesn’t give the same immediate rush. But it maks me feel better physically and mentally over the long stretch. I will do my best, that’s all I cans do. I yam what I yam.
And where did I leave my fancy top hat?!
Maybe it was a goldilocks dream. This hat fits me juuuust right…

Got an hour twentyfive on the bike today So that’s good. Not the best of efforts. But good to get back on the horse. The metal pedal horse.
I have leftover cake and some other junk. I’m going to party with that tonight. And then I’m all out fo bad stuff. And I will make it my prime directive to not order new stuff. Not from the grocery site, not from the junkfood site. Have to not give myself the option of eating uhealthily.
And then try to focus on goating and exercising. And get out of my head and to a better space.
Wish me luck.
I’m pretty durn tired now. Because I slept so much the night before, I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night. In fact I got up and out of bed and did computer work for most of the night. And then napped for 2-3 hours in the morning. Not the smartest way to be, but having a proper sleep schedule is another thing to work on.
Even though I miss the dreams…

Everything that has happened the last couple of years could be a fool.
It’s like one of those scifi things were you think you’re out of the thing, but the thing is actually still happening. Like the Rick & Morty episode with the hole of fear and they’re think they’re out of the hole but they’re actually still in the hole.

Last night, Denmark failed the final attempt at qualifying for the World Cup in soccerballs.
I am pretty damn disappointed.
Mostly because that means we won’t get the chance to try to convince our soccer assoc to boycott the tournament.
You know I love the soccerballs, but I would have fully supported a boycott. Because of Fifa and because of America, hosts. No offence to my American friends. But I’m pretty sure you don’t care about soccerballs, you might not even know you’re hosting the thing!
To be fair it’s also co-hosted by Canada and Mexico, countries I have more respect.
But anyway. There was a time I would have been devasted on missing the World Cup. In fact I thik I when we missed the last one in America. That was in 1994. The tournament that followed one of the biggest miracles of the sport, Denmark winning the 1992 Euro cup. Missing out on the following World Cup, hosted in glorious (at the time) America. That was a big hurt.
But now. I don’t care about the sport so much. Partly because it has gotten worse and worse. Partly because I can see less and less of it. And partly because life’s too short.
And then the courruption of Fifa and the insanity of what America is doing to the world. I would have happily sacrificed our spot in the World Cup to send a pointless message that would have accomplished nothing.
Instead we went out on penalties to the Czechs. Oh well.
For the first time in my life I’m not even subscribing to the tv stations that have the right to the Danish league of soccerballs. Maybe I’m just losing my love of the game completely. I still want the club I support to win but… that club isn’t the same anymore, the game isn’t the same anymore, my eyesight isn’t the same anymore. Everything gets worse as time marchines on, including the sports. Just a delivery mechanism for gambling and sportswashing now.
Hope you Americans enjoy the WC! The only thing that pains me is that Sweden and Norway are going and we’re not. That stings.
Alright, enough balltalk.

Unfortunately I am still struggling. Didn’t make it out of bed to go goating this morning. More hours in bed. Great dreams, but not what I wanted to happen. It’s not good when the dreamworld gets a grip on me and keeps away from the real world.
But we fight to live another day.
I’m not feeling good mentally, but it will be okay. We’re only two days into April, still time to make it good.
One day a day. Cooked up soup and it was good. Healthy and cheap compared to all the junk I’ve been devouring.

Thing I don’t like: Facebook (on my end at least) has changed layout, the reactions/comments/share stuff is in a new place, and I don’t like it because change is always bad.
Good thing: Measured my blood pressure today and it was fine. I hope the new meds are working.
A couple of new TV things I like:
Rooster. I have only watched the first episode, but I feel like if you like Steve Carell doing his Steve Carell thing then you will like it. And I like Steve Carell’s thing.
The Fall And Rise Of Reggie Dinkins. Tracy Morgan’s thing is pretty different from Steve Carell’s thing, but if you like Tracy morgan’s thing then you’ll probably like this show. I slept on it for a while because it has to do with American feet balls, and I have zero interest in that in any way. But it’s basically 30 Rock in a post-sport setting. And I love 30 Rock. I also love Bobby Moynihan and he’s good in this. If you like fast-paced goofy dumb comedy, this is fun.

Because sometimes I wish I didn’t have legs.
I mean, not often. Just when I’m walking down a particularly long set of stairs. I know it would be smarter to wish for the elevator to not be out of order, but sometimes not having legs seems more attainable. Anyway, did you want a refill?

Got an hour and a half on the bike today. So that’s decent. Not the greatest effort. Tired legs and I got winded faster than I usually do. But I did something. I had a difficult morning inbed. One of those “No I’m not getting up, I’m going to roll over and sleep all day and then get up and order pizza”
So the fact that I got out of bed and got exercise done, that’s pretty good.
After the exercise I did some chores. Got my freezer defrosted. It wasn’t too badly built up, so it wasn’t too hard. But it’s still satisfying to see those ice flakes coming off.
It feels like a struggle right now, every day, to not do the unhealthy. But today at least I won the battle.
Hope you’re all winning your battles out there. Not a lot of people get to go through life without battles. Keep on fighting that good fight. Unfortunately there are a lot of people fighting the bad ones.

It’s hard though, with my blindness. It’s hard sometimes to see if the screen quality is down or my eyesight is down. There have been times when I have felt like my eyesight was getting worse and worse, and then I realise the screen is getting dimmer and blurrier.
It’s weird, it’s like the top half of the screen is getting dim and unclear, while the bottom is still pretty clear and with brightness in the whites.
So there will be llines of text at the top of the screen that I can’t read without getting my face completely up to the screen. And then lines at the bottom that I can read okay.
I have tried to ignore the problem, but I will have to do something about it. It’s a 11 year old TV, so it’s not like it’s unreasonable that I have to get a new one. I just dread getting new things. Change is really difficult for me. There are things that I am dependent on, and what are the odds that I can get a new TV that will work the same way, I am always scared of getting new stuff and then finding that it doesn’t work they way I need it.
Can you even get TVs that aren’t smart devices anymore? I suppose if I just don’t hook it up to the internet then it will be a dumbTV. I barely us it for TV purposes. Sometimes I watch the soccerballsports on it, but as I wrote about recently, I barely do that anymore. Sometimes I’ll have the news channel going, but that’s mostly for audio. So it’s really 99% to be used as a computer monitor.
There’s also the transport issue. I guess I’ll have to see if I can find something suitable and if it can get delivered easily. Maybe I could pay Jeanette or Helle a little to help me pick one up, it it’s one that has to be picked up. Jeanette has a car, and I think Helle has talked about being able to borrow a car. So maybe that could be an option.
I don’t need a big or expensive one. With my blindness, it’s not super quality that’s important. It just needs to work right with my PC. A 32 inch one what can take PC input via hdmi. Must be possible, and shouldn’t be very expensive. But as always, I worry too much. But I think a new one would make a pretty big difference. There are times I can barely read parts of the screen. So I really really need to get working on this, finding a suitable one and getting it arranged.
I just hate dealing with big stuff like this.
I would also like a new computer. This one is getting old. A couple of times recently it has spontaneously rebooted when I put too much strain on the system. Doesn’t deal well with 4k video or having too many programs running. But a new computer would be a lot more expensive. And it would force me onto Windows 11. And all the worries if I could get it to work the ways I need it to, all the accessibility stiff and settings and programs I need. And that would be such a big purchase that I really couldn’t afford to get it wrong. I will postpone that as long as I cna i suppose.
But the TV. I need that soon. Can’t avoid that for much longer.
I also wanted to visit the local second-hand store to see if they have a tv furniture/table I could get. And maybe a dog house for Sky to be in when it rains… but I never got around to going back to the store after that one time when it was closed when I got there.
Anyway. There’s stuff to do. Have to prioritise the TV now and get that done. With my extreme vision problem I really can’t afford to be furter impeded and impaired by a bad TV.
When is Black Friday again?!
