Sleeper

November 1st, 2026

Oh hio.
Got did the sleeping EEG today.
It went… okay. I guess. I had a hard time with the sleeping part. I kept stressing in my head. “You have to fall asleep”. “Why aren’t you falling asleep?”. “What if you can’t fall asleep?”. Etc. I didn’t really feel like I got any real deep sleep. A couple of times I felt like I dozed off a little, but not really sleeping much. When I told the doc he just laughed and said nah. Apparently I got some time in stage 2? I don’t know, I still feel I barely slept if at all, but if they’re happy with what they got then that’s what matters.
At least it’s done now.
When they “woke me up” they had me do the same blinking/lights and hyperventilation stuff that I did at the first EEG. I still really don’t like the hyperventilation. Three minute. It’s rough. The student helper doc said “your fingers may tingle a little”. Yeah, more like they buzzed numbly for 6-8 minutes. I think my face buzzed less than the first time I did it at least.
Anyway. It wasn’t fun. Triggering a lot of anxiety. But it was fine. And if the sleep I did was good enough, then I guess I can count it as successful. We’ll see if I get any useful answers out of it. Sure would be nice! They’re going to send the results to the neuro clinic and then they should get in touch with me and tell me what’s what after the MRI and EEGs. I guess it’ll probably be a couple of weeks.
Thanks again to my mother for coming with and helping me find my way. She had plan to do her knitting while she waited. But there wasn’t a chair outside the room, so she ended up sitting on a chair inside the room with me. And they turned off the light. Must have been boring for her!
But she even paid for taxi rides back and forth, which made it a lot easier. I am thankful for the help.
And I barely had problems with the revolving door.
Gonna grab me a big pot of noodles now and try to relax.

Hey wait, I got a new complaint.
Well, an old one really. My ventilator again.
Remember how much frustration it used to cause me? I’ve had it covered since then, not completely blocked but severely dampened.
Well yesterday it started getting louder and louder. My coverage failing. I didn’t ahve the energy to deal with it. I went to bed. With my earplugs that I always use because of all the noises all around, I didn’t hear the ventilator.
When I got up today I heard it through earplugs. It felt louder and more powerful than ever before.
Sheesh, that thing is annoying.
I took my coverage completely off to look at it. To my surprise I found I could turn it now. It’s a round one. Back when Helle and others were trying to help me with it, I think she said that other people could adjust theirs by turning it. But none of us could manage to turn mine, it seemed completely stuck as it was. But now I could turn it. Weird. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to actually have much effect to turn it. It’s not like I can set it to a really low setting. Maybe helps a little, but not enough. Weird.
I don’t have the capacity to deal with it right now. I stuff cloth in it to help dampen it a bit. I guess I will cover it up again, maybe completely since we’re heading into the real cold season.
But then a plot twist. I got a message from the housing assoc. Informing my block that there is a problem with the ventilation system and they have called a service guy to get it fixed as soon as possible. Okay. So I guess it wasn’t just my coverage failing? Something with the system too. I don’t know. There was a storm yesterday, maybe something got knocked off on the roof.
I wish the message said whether “as soon as possible” means later today, or this week or whenever. They still haven’t managed to fix my access to the water/electricity/heating measuring system, after 3½ months..
Anyway, I guess I’ll wait a day or two and see if they get it fixed, if it gets better, or if I still have to cover it all up.
I’m just tired. of everything.
Yesterday I knocked my remote on the floor and broke it. That might not seem like a big deal. But I need the remote to change the TV to the computer input to use my computer. I don’t even know if there are buttons to operate the TV physically on the TV, I have never used them. I mean, there must be right?
Thankfully I had a replacement remote that I got a few years ago in anticipation of such a problem. A generic remote replacement. And thankfully it works. It’s not as good, but I can do the basic TV functions.
Just feels like there’s constant sht.
I was planning to get up bright and early at 7.30 today. Got up around 10 instead. Ah well. Not good constant sleep, more like waking up and dozing off again. But it’s nice to get some sleep. At some point I need to get a proper sleep study done. Not a sleeping EEG like yesterday that monitors my brain. But one that monitors my sleep. Because I need help with that.
And I need help with my back.
And with my ventilator.
And with everything else. I feel like I’m barely coping.
I’m having pizza today. Because I want to. Hopefully I can get exercise in tomorrow. If I can get out of bed.
Tra la.
I wish that damn ventilator would shut up. It’s like having a motorboat in your house, that constant noise. And not the fun kind of motorboating.

Got an hour fifteen on the bike today. So I got that going for me.
Yeah, managed to get up at 7.30 am. And managed to get on the bike. So that’s good, I should manage that more often.
I’m trying.
And guess what. Right now my ventilator isn’t sucking. I mean, it isn’t making a ton of noise. It’s pretty much completely silent.
When I got up this morning it was silent. Then after a while it started making noise again. Nto as bad as the last few days, but still noisy. Then it got silent. Now it’s been silent for hours. Wouldn’t it be nice if it stayed silent? Wouldn’t it, though?
I messed around with it a bit and even though it wasn’t making all the noise, there was still more air goign through it than I like. So I stuffed cloths in it. cut the airflow down a lot. But I didn’t have to tape it all up and stuff. I wish it would stay at this level, but I barely dare hope. It’s probably going to go motorboating again sooner or later. We’ll see.
For now it’s a win, and the exercise and getting up too. So that’s a decent day so far.
Take the W.

Wow. Watching episode 5 of Small Prophets, and somehow Danish women’s handball is entering the storyline. Of a British show that’s got nothing to do with sports. Did not see that coming.
I really, really. Really. Love this show. It’s giving me tears and laughs. I am so glad I started watching it. only 6 episodes, though. I think I read there will be a season 2. Who knows when that’s coming. Not soon enough, mate. Not soon enough.

Good goat times today. Good to get back. A beautiful sunny day, and a very cold morning. But the sun warmed things up as we went on.
The big deal today was that the new little goat house is up. Next to the meain goat house entrance and the hatch now there’s a little goat house. I think it’s very nice. The hope is of course that it can be Sky’s place. But that’s going to be a challenge.
Apparently the big girls have already tried making it their own. Jeanette told me that when she came the other day in the morning Luna was sitting in there like she owned it.
We’re doing our best to get Sky comfortable with it and make it feel liek it’s her domain. Giving her the breakfast in there for example. We’ll just have to see how it goes. An extr goat space is always good. It would be nice if she could sit in there when it rains, instead of going down under the podiums. Or if one of the others go in there then maybe that can give her space in the main house a little easier. Let’s hope.
We had our regular visitors, sweet kids and adults. I exchanged a few words with Preben, which is always nice. And I heard a couple of women talking down by the fence and one of them repeatedly talked about how goats were her favourite animal, so naturally I like her. And Jeanette lit up the campfire, nice on a chill day like today. Mud on the ground from overnight rain, but a beautiful sunshine.
Always good to be out with the goats, and now I’m going to take ownership over a pot of soup.

Sky having breakfast in the new goat house. I took Bella and Luna down in the pen to have their breakfast there, to make sure Sky had house to herself. We’re trying to make it so it’s HER house, but I think it will be difficult. Hooves crossed though.

While I was sitting with Sky and the new house, the big girls were down in the pen. Every time I turned around I’d see Luna there perched on the log staring up at. So unfair when someone else is getting all the attention! Laying on the guilt trip.

Everything’s great. Other than the pain, teh sadness, the tirednes, the depression, the world in general, Patrick Stewart’s death. Other than that, everything’s fine.
Working on my costume for Halloween. I’m not sure I can still fit into this Zombie Duck costume, but I’ll try.
I just saw on the facebox that our housing assoc is apparently asking people to register their addresses if they are willing and available to hand out candy to trick or treaters. Which is on the one hand pretty cool and useful, and on the other hand kind of sad and telling of the times.
But for me personally with my issues, I would appreciate not having kids ringing my doorbell. I don’t particularly remember that being an issue at the old apartment. And now in a building that requires key or access code to get in, you’d think it even less so. But I guess I’ll find out.
I don’t have any candy to hand out anyway. Do you think I’ll get egged if I pass out flourballs?

By the way, if you’re keeping score. My ventilator has been quiet since the big uproar. More quiet than I have ever experienced it before, I think. So I guess they fixed whatever was going no with it.
Last I checked there was still too much air going through it than I can handle. I am sensitive to having a constant draft blown right into the place where I sit for 90% of my waking day. And right next to to the bed where I sleep. So I do have cloths stuffed in there to block a lot of the air flow. But it’s nice that it doesn’t sound like a T-Rex roaring right next to my face.

Got an hour twenty on the bike today. So I got that going for me.
I’m trying. To do better. It’s still a struggle. The pain and depression and tiredness is grinding me down. It’s frustrating when you know what you need to do, but you keep falling short anyway. That devil on my shoulder telling me there’s no point, why bother, everything always gets worse anyway, you probably won’t be here long anyway, the whole world is going down the drain. Just sink back and do the things that make you feel better in the short term.
And then you do and it makes things worse and you feel worse and the cycle repeats. Doen’t help that it’s getting colder and darker.
But today the cycle biked at least. I’m trying.
And did some stretches and exercises on the floor. Trying not to stress my back too much, but I have to strrengthen too.
At least my shoulder is doing pretty well now. I was able to do the hard rod manipulation. So I hope that will stay stable.
One day a day.

Still bums me out that we lost all but one of the logs. A goat can still stand on one log, but it’s a lot more fun with several logs to jump around on. And all so some trespassers could make a fire. Humans, pfft.

It appears to be November 1st, somehow.
That must mean i have lived in this place for a year.
Thereabouts. When did I move in? Probably not the 1st. Looking back on the official records, I think I moved in oficially on the 10th. Got the keys on the 3rd. But still. Let’s say it’s been a year.
There are things about the new apartment that have bothered and annoyed me. Things I don’t like. But it’s no doubt been a step up from the apartment. And mostly importantly, as I have talked about before, just the fact that I made the move and go through it and survived it, that’s the really big positive thing. I honestly did not think I could survive. Having that big giant threat of having to be rehomed crossed off the list of worries, that was such a relief. And I am thankful for that.
And thankful still for Helle’s immense help and that of a few other kind souls. Don’t know if I could have done it on my own, and I’m glad I didn’t have to find out.
Things are obviously very challenging right now, but those challenges are more about my body and mind, not my apartment.
So here we are. Here I am. Still here. Even if it feels like I’m falling apart at times.
Let’s hope I make it through winter.
Hey, thanks everybuddies for listening to me whine and caring and offering sympathy and support and advice. I know I terribly self-absorbed, sometimes to an unhealthy degree. But I really do appreciate having all your little voices in my head. You’re an important part of my day, every day. I am very grateful to everyone who has stuck by me.

My Jam

October 25th, 2026

Good goat times today. Back on track, hopefully. Back to the goat place.
A beautiful sunny day. But cold. Too cold. Down below 5C/41F in the morning. Jeanette said it was below freezing when she left from home. Brrr. Yeah, today I really felt it. Could have used gloves and a sweater. I ended up leaving earlier than I wanted because the cold was getting to me. I miss summer. In more ways than one.
But it was a lovely time with the furpals. Jeanette told me that when she got there, Sky adn Bella were both sitting under the podium. So i guess Bella has figured out how to get under there. When I got there, Sky was sitting under the second podium, the one in the back. The one that isn’t raised. I guess Bella can’t get in there. Man, I wish she didn’t feel like she had to run from them so much.
In fact, Jeanette had bought a new dog house for the goats. When i left today she was assembling it, so it should be out soon. We hope, of course, that his can be Sky’s little house. We’ll have to see how it goes, if the big girls will let her have it. But the more places to hide away and stay dry and comfortable, the better.
This new house isn’t as sturdy as the old red house we had at the first playground. I really wish we could still have that one, it was so great. With great memories. Grandma lurking within. Kids playingon the roof. Sigh. But hopefully the new house will be good once Jeanette has gotten it all put together. It would be really nice for Sky to have a little house to herself so she wouldn’t have to go down under the podiums all the time. We’ll see how it works out.
Sweet visitors today. I heard some of the kids were out looking for rainworms to feed to the chickens. Wait, I think they’re called earthworms in English? Yeah. In Danish they are rainworms.
There was also a sweet little girl with her mother hanging on the fence and watching the goats. I heard the mother telling the girl that Sky must have 1-2 babies in her belly, look how big and round it is. Oh dear. The indignity. I wish Sky could have a baby to take care of.
Just happy I made it out today. Made the walk without having to take a break to sit halfway. So that’s good. And now, time to warm up with soup.

Sky, under the second podium now. Since Bella made it down under the first one now that it’s raised up. Poor Sky. I hope the new house works out for her when Jeanette has got it assembled.

Damn it. I had another blackout. Now I’m struggling to put things back together in my head. What was I doing today. What was my plans ahead. It feels like more than a mess than usual. Sigh.
I got that deja vu feeling and I just managed to open a text file and write down the time. 22:24. So that’s. 30 minutes after I posted the pine photo.
Things slowly starting to come together in my head.
I have a postal package and a grocery delivery tomorrow.
It’s a scary feeling, everything being a mess in my head. Memory fuzzy.
I have the SleepEeg in a week.
What happened today that would trigger it? I don’t know. Last one was September 15th. That was when I hurt my stomach and back.
Ugh.
Memories starting to trickle back. I think I was out for about half an hour. The epilepsy papers say that attacks are usually only a couple of minutes. To call an ambulance if an attack lasts more than 5. I feel like mine are mostly at least 10 minutes. But then, I’m not sure how much o that is actually an attack, and how much is me just sitting in a trance afterwards. Is that part of the attack itself, or is that aftermath? I’m not sure. I feel like I was dreaming while I was out. It has faded away by now, but I feel like I dreamt. Was I asleep? I don’t seem to have done anything while I was out. I must have just been sitting here.
I was eating before it happened. Finished. I had biscuits and butter among other things.
And my left shoulder.. I noticed that earlier, before the attack. It seems to be better. It seems to be not hurting? How can it have healed spontaneously like that, it was hurting this morning I’m pretty sure. When I went off to see the goats. But now I can move it outwardly without pain again. I noticed that before the blackout.
Had to look at my facebook posts from earlier today to help jog my memories. There was the pine yes. The dog house Jeanette was building. I got home and had soup.
I was supposed to start getting ready for bed soon when the attack hit. I think. I didn’t sleep well last night either, a couple of nights of not good sleep. And with daytime naps to mess with my sleep rhythm. I wonder if that could be part of the explanation. But I have had nights like that before, without blackouts. I can’t think of anything specifically that has happened or I have done today that is different from so many other days. I wonder if it’s something that builds up over time in my system. Or it’s just totally random.
I don’t know.
I hope they’ll find something on that sleepEeg. Or the MRI results. I hope they’ll put me on those epilepsy meds and they can help. It’s really a scary and horrible feeling to have these blackouts. At least I don’t seem to have gotten physically worse this time.
Well, let’s hope my stomach works.
I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know.
It really is the most horrible, dreadful feeling to be lost in your own mind afterwards. The haze. It’s not that I don’t know who I am, it’s more like being displaced. In time.
I guess I have to be heading to bed soon. That’s the kind of things that’s lost in the the haze. When was I going to go to bed? What was I supposed to do to prepare for tomorrow. When would I normally go to bed. The big puzzle all jumbled, pieces slowly coming back to their right places.
It’s weird that my shoulder is just all of a sudden better. I don’t want to move it around too much, in case it’s still healing.
I am so tired of this mess that’s me.

A big thank you to the ever wonderful and thoughful Helle. She gave me a little jar of jam made of their own aronia berries. Apparently they’re also called chokeberries, according to wikipedia. I have had a quick taste of it and it is very nice! I have to get some proper bread to try it properly. But it’s very lovely. One of the many things Helle is active with in the local community is a garden where they grow stuff.
And a little goat! Everything is better with goats, as you know. How very sweet.
It was a lovely surprise today. I am not feeling super well. The blackout yesterday doesn’t seem to have had any physical effects, but mentally I’m just.. not great.
But thank you everyone for the comments and advice, and again thank you so much Helle for being just the best person. I can’t thank you enough.

Not a good day today, unfortunately. It was meant to be an exercise day. Instead I spent some 12 hours in bed. At least I got some sleep, but not really good sleep. Hard to get out of bed. Pain and depression is a fun combination, hooray.
I need to make better decisions. But there is no motivation or energy. Only sadness and Zuul.
Feeling quite hopeless and defeated.
But tomorrow’s another day. We’ll try again. Ride the merry go round.
On a brighter note, I got buns hon. Well, I got one bun. And I ate it with Helle’s jam on it. And it was quite good. I haven’t had jam in so so long. I was tempted to say I haven’t had jam for decades, since the diabetes diagnosis. But that’s probably not true. Still, it’s been many years.
That’s my jam. Fight ot live another yay.

Good goat times today. Aah yes, much better. The one place I know I will be happy, the goat place.
A dark morning, but a little bit warmer. It rained a lot overnight I think, but thankfully kept dry while I was out. The sun even starting to peek out later on.
When I got there I found all three girls standing up by the goat house. Luna in the hatch, Bella in the main door opening and Sky on the right on my old shelf planks that I put down next to the fence. Space between them, but still. All three goats kind of hanging out together.
Jeanette also sent me a photo from Tuesdy where Sky and Luna are sitting next to each other under the first podium, while Bella sits on top of the second one.
It does seem like may the dynamic is shifting a little? Are they getting to be more friendly with each other? We can hope. If you follow the goat page, this morning I posted a video where I’m sitting with Luna and Sky. Me between them, but still.
And also today, Sky spent like 10 minutes grooming Luna’s fur. Sky was up on a podium and Luna was standing on the ground below. There’s still some tension, Sky isn’t completely comfortable with being so close. But they seem to be spending a lot more time together. Wouldn’t it be nice, wouldn’t it be nice.
Due to unforeseen ostables, Jeanette hasn’t gotten the new dog house, I mean goat house, set up yet. But it sure would be nice if that little house could be sky’s spot and she could have that and be close to the others while still having her own safe and dry spot. Let’s hope, let’s hope.
You never know with goat politics, maybe they’ll all be chasing each other around in a day or two again.
But it was just so good to be with the goats. The purity of animals is healing. Sitting with them and just feeling better. Enjoying all their little silly idiosyncrasies and quirks. I feel bad for people who think animals don’t have feelings and personalities. What a poor life it must be.
We had sweet visitors today, lots of regulars. I heard a kid from afar telling their adult twice that “the guy up there is Lasse”. And I got to say hello to Preben, hadn’t seen him in a while because I have been away and had shorter trips. I wish I had the capacity to just go be there all day every day. It would do me good. I just don’t have that capacity mentally or physically. Especially right now. I was just thinking, I sure am glad that my grocery delieries weren’t affected by the parking situation, because if i had to do my own shopping right now… that would be torture.
Anyway, I’ll shut up now. Not eating soup is also torture, so I’m going to go fix that.

Here is the picture Jeanette sent me. Lookit that. Sky and Luna sitting together under the podium. How about that. Maybe they ARE getting on a friendlier hoof. Let’s hope.
I sometimes get the feeling Luna is a little tired of how bossy Bella can be. Sometimes it almost seems like she seeks out Sky to hang out with instead. But then Sky would most often run away from her. But maybe they are getting closer now.

Got an hour fifteen on the bike today. So I got that going for it.
I’m trying. i failed in ambition to lose weight before the sleepEeg. But ho well. Keep on trying. I have to get into a rhythm. I really need to lose just a little weight at least, to make it easier on my back.
But now I’m focusing on the EEG. Anxiety rising on that. I’m sure it will be fine. But sleeping away from home, that’s triggering.
Tonight is daylight saving change in Denmark. So I’ll get an extra hour’s sleep. Theoretically.
Got a grocery delivery today. Got some bananas and apples and pears. And no iced creams or cakes. I’m trying.
Also cutting down on the Pepsi again. I tried before and went weeks without it and it didn’t really help my sleep. But I’m trying again. Not drinking it every day, and on days I’m drinking it I drink less and earlier in the day. I’m trying.
Try, try, try.

A quiet day today. Recharginer. For the big day.
I am getting quite anxious about the big sleepEeg, but I’m sure it will be fine. I just want to get it done. I am still pretty convinced it’ll ned with “maybe epilepsy, but no clear proof”. I just hope I can get meds and they’ll help.
And then I’ll have to seek help for my back. I just don’t feel up to it now. I don’t feel up to anything. As always around this time of year, I would just like to go in hibernation.
Well, since there’s no news and since I need to distract myself, let’s do a What’s Lasse Watching/Reading/Listening To. You can tune out now, I’m just going to be rambling on.
Two new TV shows that I really am enjoying.
Small Prophets. I guess all of season 1 has already aired previously in Britain. It’s just coming out in American now, and I’m watching those releases. I really loe it. It’s… quirky. Or just British? It’s got a sad feeling, a lot of griet. But also peculiar funny stuff. I originally got interested in it because it features Michael Palin. And Michael Palin is just the best. He’s not the main character, he plays a father with dementia. So that’s… hitting close to home.
But it’s a beautiful show, I’m loving it.
And then there’s Cupertino. Which is a law show. It got me thinking how I have always loved those shows. I guess it goes all the way back to LA Law when I was a kid. I don’t really remember anything about plots, just some of the visuals of the characters. But I’m pretty sure I loved it back then. And Ally McBeal. Not sure how well that holds up today, but I loved it back then. Boston Legal is one of my favourite shows of all time. William Shatner and James Spader is just.. *Geoff’s kiss*. The Practice. The new Matlock. Lawyer shows are just a graet way to have a “plot of the week (or a few weeks” and then move to something else. I guess cop show work like that too, but I have never really been interested in those. Well, I watched Hill Street Blues as a kid too. But the newer ones? CIS: Whatever. FBI. CIA. SUV. Boston Blue. I don’t know what they’re all called. If it’s cop shows then it has to be supernatural cops I guess. X-Files.
Anyway, that was a tangent. Cupertino is only 3 episodes in, but it’s been great so far. The leads are brilliant. It’s schtick is that it’s tech law. Big tech companies. There’s been a lot of AI stuff so far. In the plot, I mean. If you’re interested in AI and the philosopical, moral, legal implications, then this is very interesting. Can an AI be sentient and can it have rights? They have set up some fascinating plotlines so far, so if you’re into that stuff then I highly recommend it.
In book news, the last two I read were both Star Wars books. Legacy. which was about Leia and Rey and jedihood. Stuff I wish we could have gotten more of in the movies. And Reign Of The Empire: Edge Of Abyss, book 2 in a trilogy. My favourite era, the empire era. If it has Storm Troopers in it, I’m happy. And fun fact: One of my favourite SW characters is Bail Organa. I don’t know, maybe it’s just the visual of Jimmy Smits in robes. But I always liked him. And hearing more about him an Mon Motha and Saw Gerrera and the empire’s might. Love it. Even though it sometimes gets a little too close to reality. The fascist empire. They’re employing more and more tactics that we’re seeing in our lives right now. Good thing it’s just fiction!
I’m pretty sure Palpatine loves cheeseburgers.
Right now I have started reading The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub. It is one from my folder of early King works that I have never read. The main reason I started it now is that King just released the third and final book in that series. So I need to read the first two before I can get to that.
I’m enjoying it so. It seems like a clasic (clichéed?) example of a trope I love. Portal fiction. People from our world traveling to other worlds. The Narnia type. I love those kind of stories, probably because I desperately want to portal into another world and leave this one behin. A while ago I joked on bluesky that I was going to start breaking into people’s houses an going through their wardrobes until I found a portal to somewhere else.
Musically I have been listening to the newest Weezer album, which I feel is their best in a long time. I also got a 30 anniversary edition of their first album with a bunch of versions of old songs, which is still better than most of the new.
Also the newest Eels album. Same as weith Weeer, the old stuff is still best. But I do love Eels a lot. Electro-Shock Blues is my second favourite album of all time.
Okay, I guess that’s all. At least I didn’t just waste my own time today, I also wasted YOURS!
Hooves crossed for tomorrow. Just gotta get through it.
