Good goat times today. A gorgeous summer’s day. Lots of sunshine and upwards of 24C/75F. That’s when I almost start feeling it’s getting too hot. I know, some of my abroad friends will laugh. But it’s lovely, hot and sunny and lots of lounging around with the goat pals. Making sure everyone gets some time sitting with me.
Some nice visitors took advantage of the lovely day too. There was a very curious little boy. He had questions. Many many questions. So many that the lady keeping an eye on him told me to just say something if he was bothering my with all the questions. Haha, he was sweet though. i think asking questions was his sort of ‘security blanket’, making him feel safe or whatever. Lots of questions about the goats, and about me.
What’syour name?
Lasse
I’m Karl.
Hello Karl.
Hello Lasse
Why are you only taking photos of the goats?
Because I like them.
Do you like me?
Of course I like you, Karl!
Haha. Sweet kid. He asked me what my last name and birthday was too, maybe he was just a datamining ai. Nah, he was nice. He wished me a good weekend, and the lady said ‘it’s a little early for that’.
Another boy came in and sat next to me and petted Sky, who was quite enjoying the attention.
Got some running from Luna and some sliding from Bella and lots of sitting from Sky. Just a lovely summer day goating.

Sweet little Sky.
I am pretty sure she can squeeze under the gate between the two pens.
I had closed and locked the gate, because I just wanted all of us to be together in the big pen. Then a little later I’m over at the gate, and there’s Sky. Sitting on the other side. The gate still closed and locke.d Unless she jumped over the gate.. and no offense but the little lady has too much junk in the trunk for that… so, she must have squeeze under through the space underneath the gate. Sheesh. Bella can still ram through the gate if I don’t lock BOTH latches on it and stick a stick through the lock. You can’t keep those goats in. Or out.
But to be clear, she can’t get past the main gate OUT of the goat pens. Just the gate between the two pens.

Okay. I have an appointment next week with the rehousing consultant. Or, her colleague I guess. Shts getting real, and my tummy hurts.

got an hour fortyfive on the bike. Going through the motions.
Got the email from the housing assoc this morning, and i just wanted to go back to bed and not deal with anything. Full of anxiety and worry. I don’t really want to be here. But here I am.
I guess at least I don’t have to worry if the consultant got my mail. So that’s something. Although the reply didn’t come from her, but from one of her coleagues, i guess. It was signed from ‘customer service’. And the whole exchange left me a little cold. After some emails back and forth, when we had an appointment, I asked “is there anything else I should know beforehand?”. No reply to that. Ok. They’re throwing me out of the place I have been living for almost 20 years. i’d like some empathy and understanding. But ok. Maybe the meeting will be great and everything will be fine. The first mail said “We can do a meeting tomorrow at 1 pm. Reply to this mail to confirm”. Eh. I replied that i needed some time to prepare. At least they listened to that and we have a meeting next week now.
I have a doctor’s appointment this week too. Hopefully no issues there. And then there’s my dad’s pacemaker operation on Thursday. And i’m just.. overloaded and feeling incapable.
And it’s hottt. Around 28C/82F. Scorching for Denmark. Good for exercise, but it’s a bit much. And someone in the neighbourhood is frying something. Don’t know if they’re barbecuing outside or something. But I can smell that frying oil. Walking around doing cleaning after exercise, tummy screaming for french fries. Your smells trigger me!
Alright. Well. i guess i should finally get something to eat. And try to relax. And prepare myself for the four horsemen of the *Waves arms around like Kermit* this place.

I tell you what though, that first hit of icy cold Pepsi Max. Oh yeah. After a day of sweating on the bike, of worrying about the future, worrying about dad. The sun pounding me land the smell of french fries asasulting me.
That ice cold hit. Mm.
I guess i have some strength. i did not go back to bed and sleep for hours and get up and order pizza and pie. Instead I exercised and cleaned and ate a healthy meal. And now I’m going to get huffed up on goofballs, duh winning.

Ugh. Snarkfarkle it. Do you ever feel like the universe is just plotting against you?
Got an appointment at the doctor’s office tomorrow, just blood tests at the nurse. I start making preparations. Go to the city’s traffic site. The bus doesn’t stop downtown tomorrow. Mid city is blocked off? It doesn’t say why. Just that the bus doesn’t stop downtown. So that borks it all. I cannot find my way around on my own downtown, if i can’t take the bus i usually straight there then i can’t really get there. I could take a taxi and pay a billion bucks for ride back and forth. And if downtown is blocked off, is that just for busses or all traffic?
Of course I find out about this half an hour after the doctor’s office closes their phone hours. And their self service doesn’t display the usual link to cancel my booking. So I guess I’m too late to cancel. Well I sent a message over their system to the nurse and I sent an SMS to their cancel number. so hopefully they get that and my booking is cancelled. I’m worried I wil be charged a steep fee for cancelling too late, if they even get it in time. Don’t know if they’ll listen to my good excuse or not. I guess I’ll call first thing tomorrow morning as soon as they open and talk to them. I just don’t need this aggravation.
Good thing I checked the traffic info, otherwise i would have gotten on the bus tomorrow and ended up somewhere downtown where I wasn’t supposed to go. Fiddlesticks and knucklefarts.
And as far as I can see by the booking system, the nurse doesn’t have another available time until mid August, so that’s not great.
But whatever. I guess I’ll have to pay the fee if that’s how it goes. I’m so tired. Of everything.

Hey! The universe listened and helped me out.
Weird.
Literally 5 minutes after i posted about my troubles with the doctor appointment…
I get an sms from the clinic saying they have tried to call me but couldn’t get a hold of me, but unfortunately they have to cancel my appointment tomorrow. Because of the traffic stop downtown tomorrow they can’t get their blood tests to the lab and blablac.
Well hah. Here I was desperately trying to cancel the appointment because -I- can’t get downtown.
I don’t have any missed calls from them, but whatever. I don’t know if they even got my cancellation requests.
Well whatever whatever. From my side it’s all good now, my appointment is cancelled and I’ll just have to book something later.
Phew.
That was a fun 5 minutes of worrying. Now where’s that Pepsi Max I ordered..

Good goat times today. Since my doctor’s appointment as cancelled, I could head out early and go goating instead. I definitely prefer going to get goats over going to the doctor.
A lovely day with lots of sunshine. After two scorching days in Denmark it fell back into a more normal 20C/68F. Warm and comfortable with some good wind.
Jeanette warned me we’d be getting a lot of visitors potentially, new group that hasn’t been around before. And we did get a bunch of kids. Some of the running and making a lot of noise. But not bothering the animals. And some of the kids got meet the goats and chickens. One little girl, I think her name was Gry, came and sat next to me on the bench and asked a bunch of questions about the goats. Not in the kind of ‘security blanket’ way that the boy the other day did. This girl seemed more like genuinely curious and had some insights and she seemed very sweet. She was quite thoughtful with her words. almost seemed like she was really shy but really wanted to know stuff. And of course I did my best to answer her questions. And Bella was sitting on the tub in front of us and getting a lot of attention.
And when the visitors cleared out with spent good time relaxing in the sun.
Only negative today was that Jeanette told me someone had dumped off a baby bunny without explanation. You can’t just dump your baby animals in public places. It couldn’t stay with us, but by the end of the day Jeanette had found a place that could take it. So hopefully it will get a good life ahead, no thanks to the jerks who just discarded it without a care. Some people..
Time for soup now, that’s the ticket.

Dad got his pacemaker did today. Sounds like everything went according to plan. Mom and dad are eating dinner at the hospital and then hopefully they’ll be ready to go home soon. So that is good news. I don’t know if it’s going to make any big difference in everyday life, but hopefully it’ll keep him safer in the heart department.
Thanks everyone for all the encouragements.

Oh by the way, if anyone was wondering what was up with the traffic situation that got in the way of my doctor’s appointment. Well it was to do with Denmark taking the presidency of the EU. I vaguely knew that was happening, i didn’t realise they were shutting down traffic downtown because of that. But yes, that’s the explanation for that. Guess it was a big to-do downtown. I guess Zelensky is in town right now.

Frustrating day. Computer work that didn’t really work out. Wasted time. Got an email back from someone I mailed in regards to he housing situation. She told me she found my mail in the spam folder today. Just like Jeanette. I don’t know why my emails would go to people’s spam boxes. Annoying.
Depression and anxiety at high levels.
I just want to sleep.
On a better note, my dad is home and doing well after the operation. That maker is pacing it. I wish i could get a pacemaker for my brain that could slow down the bad thoughts.

I haven’t done a book report in a while. You know I need my escapism more than ever.
My last two reads were both Stephen Kings. A very old one and the very newest one.
First Pet Sematary. I am honestly not sure if i had read it before. It’s one of those books that are so big in pop culture that you feel like you know it. If I had read it before then it would be in Danish and decades ago. So I was happy to read it anyway, even if i knew most of what was going to happen. People often mention it when they talk about the scariest books they have read, King himself even talks about it being one of the scariest. I didn’t find it that scary. But then, I don’t really find books scary. I can’t think of any books that have really scared me. I guess I’m just not the type that has to put the book in the fridge sometimes. Although Pet Sematary certainly has some gruesome and troubling parts. But it’s a good read.
Next up was his newest book, Never Flinch. Another in the Hollyverse. I’m a fan of Holly, the character. And fairly invested in that universe. So I was happy to read more from that. I know some people really hate it. This time there was less Trump/covid, so that was good. It’s still set in our contemporary reality, but it feels less hamfisted this time. I enjoyed the book, it was a good read. Not sure how i feel about one of the bad guys, and it started to feel a little on rails. Just like the previous Holly book you know pretty early on what the deal is and who the bad guys are and what they want and then you just read along to see how Holly saves it all. I do prefer when King goes weird and supernatural or just out there, compared to the straight crime thrillers. The last Holly book was a straight crime thriller too, but the bad guys there had more of a horror feel to them. This time, well there’s a horror aspect, but it feels the most realistic crim thriller yet. Not one of his best, but not a bad read.
Currently i’m almost done with another book, which is Ormegården by Dennis Jürgensen. He is kind of the Danish Stephen King, very prolific and very popular but not always loved by critics. And funnily enough he also made a turn from more fantastical stories to straight crime stories. I think Ormerården is my favourite of his crime thrillers, pretty pretty good.
I may have mentioned it before but Dennis Jürgensen used to be quite the idol of mine. Not least because of his quotes in interviews where he said he became a writer because basically he was done with school and faced with either having to get a ‘real job’ or becoming a writer. And becoming a writer meant he didn’t have to get up early in the morning. I used of becoming a writer. Because i wanted to write and because I didn’t want to get a real job. Well, I did neither. Someday maybe i’ll write a long ramble about my story after leaving school and trying to find a future while dealing with depression and fatigue and crippling social anxiety, yes a very upbeat story! I went around to a few places. Before ending up here. I may not have become a writer, but i’m still writing. Here. And someone is reading it. So that’s something.
Okay let’s wrap it up. When i’m done wiht Ormegården i’m going to start The Indifferent Stars Above, historical nonfiction about the Donnoer Party. Something I only really know as a punchline on latenight tv. But i do have an interest in the American frontier history, so I’m looking forward to that. Back when America was a harsh and dangerous and ok you get where i’m going. Let them eat crypto.

Got an hour and a half on the bike today. Forcing myself to get on. Feel that physical burn.
Stressful time right now. I mentioned I had emailed a lady about the housing. I’ve exchanged more mails with her. Her name is Helle and among other things she’s the head of .. the.. residents association? I’m not sure what the correct English term is. Anyway, I have seen her a lot on Facebook, she’s extremely engaged in the neighbourhood and politics and things going on here. She’s very active and well known for her activism. She’s been fighting against the demolishing of the apartment blocks. So many changes have been going on in this neighbourhood the last decade. The renovation of the building i live in is part of that.
Anyway, I got a flyer in the mailbox from the residents association and it had her email adress and I sent her a mail. She or a colleague might actually join me in my meeting in the rehousing matter next week, we may meet before that too.
The flyer was for the people in my building affected by the changes being done. And the possibility of filing a legal objection to it. Now I don’t think i want to do that. Because i do not have the strength to go through a legal battle, and I do not want to be a nuisance to my neighbours or the housing asssociation. I know there are families in other buildings who have refused to move out, which is causing delays and extra costs in all the demolishing/renovation plans.
I can’t really face something like that. Dealing just with single people is hard enough, a whole legal thing, I can’t. I am pretty resigned that i will have to move out. My priority is getting the best new home possible and making it go as smoothly as possible. So I don’t know if Helle or the renters association will or can help me much if I’m not going to do the objection. But she has tons of experience with this, it would be nice to have her on my side.
She said in her response to me that she’s sure the housing association will take my special needs into consideration, but that she unfortuantely also has heard from families that feel they have been treated unfairly by the association. I am not sure if that’s in regards to being forced out, or in rehousing. It’s a little worrying though.
Anyway. Waiting to hear back from her to see if we’re going to meet before the housing meeting or not and if she or someone else will join me at the housing meeting.
It’s a difficult and important time for me. But we’ll see how it goes. Big days ahead. Have to be a big boy about it. In between the rants.

Got a Protein&Pepsi delivery this morning. Early.
I had originally scheduled it for later in the day. But then yesterday I started the emailing with Helle from the renters assoc and we were talking about maybe meeting today. And the window for rescheduling the delivery was closing. So I thought, well I better reschedule it to as early in the day as possible, in case I need to meet with Helle at some point. Leave more time open for the that potentially.
After more discussion with Helle, it turns out we’re not meeting today. And she isn’t available for the time i have the rehousing meeting with the housing assoc. But her colleague Peter will go with me to that instead.
And Helle is going to drop by the goat place tomorrow just to meet and say hi I think. So I’ll get to see her for a bit. And then i have to call Peter and talk to him before the rehousing meeting.
So yeah, the first half of next week is going to be challenging for me. Meeting Helle. Calling Peter. Important rehousing meeting.
That’s a lot for me. I would really like to just avoid it all. But so far my incantations to stop time have proven unsucessful. I may need to add more thyme. This old spellbook really hasn’t been worth the price I paid for it. Although since i’m not planning to have any firstborn children, so joke’s on the satyr in the end I think.
Anyway. Relaxing and gathering strength today for the coming days.

Aw yeah. I know this means nothing to anyone but myself, but this is one of the things that came up in my going through old stuff while cleaning the apartment.
The Danish user manual for the Amiga 500. Circa 1992.
Those colours around the A500. Etched in my mind. And yet, funnily enough, I barely looked through that user manual. I used my Amiga almost exclusively for gaming. And pretty much all you needed to know was 1) Plug in the cables 2) pop in a floppy in the disk drive. And you’re ready to go. I do regret not using my Amiga more seriously. But I do not regret using it so much unseriously.
While I never read through it, this book has been with me for 30+ years. And now it’s gone. I’m trying not to hang on to things. But it was really cool to see it again. Memories, lalalala

That’s all for now.

Well, well, well, well. Good goat times today. And good HUMAN times. Yes, as some of you are aware, today was a big day at the goat grounds. We had a visitor from Australia.
The lovely @Lisa Edwards came to visit! Eight years after visiting us the last time. A visit every eight years is about what I can cope with! But things sure are different now. Different goats. Different place. Less Lasse. But Lisa is still lovely, and it was good to see her again. It is a very rare occasion that I meet people from Facebook. But it is lovely when people want to see the goats.
It was a lightly rainy morning but then the sun came out and we had some really weather for a while, summery for Denmark. Not much by Australian standards of course.
And later on came the rain. Hard rain. I think Lisa wished she’d brought an umbrella, it was raining and thundering when she left.
She got to meet Jeanette too. That was lovely. Jeanette took Lisa down to the bunny house, so she could meet our bunnies. That’s not my domain, so i stayed with the goats.
And Lisa got to hang out with the furs and the feathers. First a good long time with Bella and Luna. They really enjoyed being scratched. Lisa has the nails for the job!
And later I preoccupied the big girls so Lisa could have time with Sky. I really miss being able to be just one group. Sigh. Lisa got to see Sky having a bit of a rough time when it started raining too. Bella and Luna chasing her out.
We did our best to make sure Sky could be inside with us as the rain came down.
Really nice to spend time with a good Facebook friend. I was of course extremely awkward, I can’t really socialize properly with humans. I was mostly just answering questions. But I did my best, and knowing that Lisa knew my deal and had met me before took the worst pressure off. Hey, it’s her own fault if she wants to come back, I told myself!
And it is nice. It’s not often you get visitors from Australia. Hope we didn’t disappoint. Wish Mia had been here for a reunion..
Now Lisa’s off to see Joan, one of my oldest, possibly the oldest, internet friend I am still in touch with and one of the best people I know, with a wonderful family. I am sure Lisa will get much better human interaction there, but probably less goat cuddles.
See you when you come back, Lisa!
I will have some pictures later, and when it gets done there will be some video on the goat page eventually.
Good times. Now, soup.

Getting ready to head to bed soon. It’s been a big day for me. And I didn’t get enough sleep last night.
Not because I was worrying about Lisa’s visit. No, I had toilet problems. No not tummy ones. Plumber ones. I was getting ready to go to sleep last night, and as I pressed the flusher on the toilet, it wouldn’t press down, it didn’t flush properly. I was immediately in panic mode. Oh no. Is this like an emergency where I need to call the out-of-hours phone line for my housing association? Should I wait till tomorrow and call the super? Is my toilet broken? Are gallons of water just flushing through. Am i going to have to stay home etomorrow to wait for the super? Imagine how lame that would have sounded. “Sorry I can’t go to the difficult human meeting because my toilet broke”. Well, my first instinct was putting toilet cleaner in the toilet and cleaning it. Mostly i think because it was pretty grimy and needed cleaning and if I had to call the super it would be kind of embarrasing. I don’t know if there was some blockage or the flusher buttong was jammed or it was a fluke or whatever, I don’t know if what I did had any effect or it was just random. But I tried again 5 minutes later and now it flushed. I thought i heard a drip, a single periodic drip, in it, so I monitored it for a bit, did some more cleaning. And it seemed to be back to normal.
So I got to bed later than planned and was pretty worked up so it took a while to get anysleep.
Toilet seems to be fine now, but I guess i should be prepared that something could happen again. Because everything just keeps going great. At least the package I was waiting for arrived, and not too long after I got home from the succesful visit from Lisa. So that was something at least.
And now I’m on the internet writing about my toilet. Living the jetset life, no wonder people hanging on to my every word. Wait are you solving crosswords on your phone? Are you even listening to me? We’re going to have a serious talk about our relationship, mister! No YOU’RE HIGH STRUNG. That’s it, you’re sleeping on the couch tonight.
Please remember to leave a review for my one-man performance of the full cast version of Not Going In Sane Tonight.

Got an hour forty on the bike today. Legs felt good. Arms felt good. Not sure if I’ve done something different, but my muscles felt stronger than usual, so that was nice. I should probably get better at dosing the workouts so i don’t overwork my muscles. But I’m doing my best.
Aftewards I continued the apartment cleaning. Working on the bookshelves. Got 3 sacks of Dvds ready to go. Unfortunately DVDs are next to worthless these days, as far as I can see even charity shops don’t want them anymore. I have some great stuff, I wouldn’t rule out the idea that I could make a little money selling it. But the amount would not make up for the effort and the dealing with people and stuff. So, I’m going to haul it downstairs to the pickup point and if someone wants old DVDs it will be their lucky day, otherwise it will be hauled to trash.
It’s a bummer thoughl. So much great stuff. Complete collections of all the old Star Trek shows. Complete series of Buffy and Angel. Complete Friends. A beautiful complete Seinfeld box that has a big book thing included. All the old seasons of the simpsons. Futurama. South Park. Alien movies set. Star Wars movies. Monty Python. Red Dwarf. That 70s Show. Scrubs. Bunch of classic Dr Who. Lots of single movies. Complete series of Bottom. Casper & Mandril Aftalen. Black Adder. And much more. A lot of it still in original shrinkwrap because I bought it and put it on the shelf and didn’t get to it before I switched to digital. I have most of all this stuff as digital files on my hard drives, so it’s not like i’m losing a lot of content really. But so much money spent on this. And some beautiful sets among it too. And so much history.
Got through some old books too. My old Ultima books. That’s painful. I really want to read those, and you cannot get that as audio. The old cluebooks to the games were full of story and lore. And books about the history of the games and the making of them and the company behind them. I should have read all that before I lost my sight..
And my old Star Wars guidbook. One of my oldest Star Wars keepsakes. It’s like an encyclopedia and I used to just read through the entries and marvel at the planets and alien species and characters. Much of the info sourced from books or other stuff that I hadn’t read yet, so it was full of magic to me.
Okay, I’ll cut the nostalgia ramble there.
As I said, three sacks of DVDs to carry down. And that’s only about a third of the stuff on the shelves. So it will still take time to get through it all. Sort through it to make sure there’s nothing I want to keep. That big complete special edition Lost box.. it’s so beautiful. I have all the episodes on my computer.. but I don’t know if I have the heart to throw that out. That’s one thing that could be worth a little money. But then on the other hand since no one uses DVD anymore, maybe not.
Sigh.
Maybe I should have asked Lisa if she wanted the Gollum figure from the lotr se box when she was there.

Here’s Sky yesterday, sheltered from the rain. I pulled the sliding door out a little to give more cover.
I’m editing footage from Lisa’s visit right now, and it’s sad to see Sky being chased out in the rain. But of course you can’t help rooting for her and being happy when she gets inside. And i know it’s less complicated when I’m not there, then things are more relaxed. But still. i wish she had it easier. i do my best to give her as much happy time as possible.

Videos from Lisa’s visit going up on the goat page today. One up already, a couple more to come later in the day. So stay tuned to that goat page if you want to see me dealing with a genu-ine Austra-lian!

I mentioned that one of the things I found in the old mystery boxes during cleaning was the flyer from the store where I bought my first PC back in the 90s.
I thought maybe I’d take a photo of it, just for fun. So you can see how computers were sold in 1994 in Denmark.
But then I did a search on the reddit, and it turns out someone had uploaded the exact flyer on r/Denmark. This is it. The very one I found in the box. Look at those price bombs! Haha.
Huge nostalgia from that flyer.
So I know the PC I got was the 486 DX2 50mhz.
Listed at 9,995 Danish kroners. According to an online inflation calculator that would be almost 18,000 kroners today. Which is 2800 usd. I have no idea how I afforded that back. Did I pay for it myself? Honestly, I don’t remember. Did my parents buy it for me? Did they pay some of it. It’s not like we were a rich family, it seems like a pretty expensive purchase. I was 15-16.
But hey. I sure am glad I got it. That 486 goodness. Playing Doom in fullscreen, something my other PC owning friends could only dream of.
Warehouse Data. i believe they went bankrupt in the early 2000s.

Well, I tried something new today.
Fried balls.
Okay, fried flourballs.
Recently a couple of times I have seen mentions of fried dumplings. And it intrigued me. Now I know my flourballs aren’t exactly the same as the American dumplings, and I think the fried dumplings thing is a dish that includes other stuff, like meat or vegetables or other things. But it got in my head and I wanted to try to fry up some flourballs.
So I did. I just boiled some flourballs and then fried them in coconut oil.
That was. Alright. Interesting. Definitely needs more stuff to be an actual meal. And I’m sure it’s not too healthy. But fun to try. I think I’ll stick to flourballs in my soup.

Good goat times today. A lovely warm day with lots of sunshine. No Australians hanging around, but lots of kids in the pen. Pancakes cooking on the campfire. Lots of cuddles for the goats. Beren came and got her happy goat time. Just a lovely simple summery goat day. Feels good.
Now it’s time to cook up some soup and enjoy that. I will.

Thank you to Lisa for the new hat! Represeting Australia. Maybe I should solicit hats from all over the world and wear a new hat every day, like the guy from 30 Rock. But ah, I love my Twin Peaks hat too much for that. But I do have a nice little collection already.

Got a Protein & Pepsi delivery today. With added electrolytes. i try to drink enough water, but information pointed to maybe it being benificial to have added electrolytes. I do believe electrolytes are minichips that Microsoft use to control your body, and adding them to your water will turn you into Ironman. Look, I did my own research so don’t come at me.
Anyway, I got electrolytical tablets. I’ll see if i feel like they do any me any good. I take so many vitamins and supplements and things, I need to buy a second cupboard just to store them. But hey, physically I’m probably healthier now than I have been most of my life. Not that that’s saying a lot. I may just be the chicken who’s had its head cut off but hasn’t realised it yet. Who knows.

Update about my dad. Turns out he’s not having the bypass operation, he’s getting a pacemaker. I can’t quite figure out if that’s a change of plans or if that was always the plan and we just had a miscommunication.
But that’s where we are. He’s having it done Thuersday next week.
I am not sure how to feel about it. Getting a pacemaker put in seems like a safer and less invasive operation. But the things you all were saying with experiences of bypasses had me sort of hoping for some real improvements to my dad’s health from it. And I don’t think a pacemaker would give so much. It’s more for safety and to prevent bad heart things happened? Which is obviously the most important thing, I want him to be safe and healthy. I was hoping for him to get stronger too, though.
But we’ll see. I just want him to get the procedure done without problems and then hopefully he will have a better functioning heart. No complications, please. I believe he’ll be coming home the same day.
So send him all the good vibes on Thursday.

Thank you everyone again, for all the kindness and support. Hopefully the pacemaker will be a good thing. Certainly let’s scary than bypass. Here’s to hoping for good results. And may good thing happen to all of you and your loved ones. My family owes you all a berryfall of glittersnow and rainbowfarts. May the wind always be in your back, so the rainbowfarts stay with you.
Love you loves.

Another hour fortyfive under the bike belt. Wasn’t feeling too great this morning, legs kind of week. I got a doc appointment soon so I’m going to get some blood pressure readings before hand. My blood pressure was too high this morning. It’s been a long time since i measured it last time, and then it was perfect. So that kind of sucks.
Measured it after exercising and it was back to good. So hopefully I just had a bad night or something.
And then some more apartment cleaning. Organising the stuff on the book shelves to get ready to haul it off. A steady stream of “aww”s as I uncovered more old stuff that I hate to get rid of, that I had big plans for, that I wasted money on. My Don Rosa Hall of Fame books. The huge Complete Calvin & Hobbes set. The old Ultima games. A Storm trooper action figure still in in the back. I bought that on amazon ages ago to try to recapture some slight slice of childhood nostalgia. Still can’t believe I sold my whole Star Wars action figure collection for 300 kroners. Even with inflation that’s next to nothing.
Anyway. So much great stuff that’s now obsolete. But I’ll be happy to shed the weight. It’s nice to see the shelves little by little getting emptier. When my move is forced through, I hope to get rid of some of my furniture to. I honestly don’t really want those bookshelves anymore. But we’ll see how that works out. I just want a simple space with as little clutter aspossible. Long way to go still.
Thankfully a short way to soup pot, so I’ll brave that journey now.

I can’t believe June is almost over. I just wanted a happy, simple, sunny summer. That’s not exactly how it’s gone, or will go. Too many worries with family and living situation, and then the complications of the goat hierarchy. I just wanted to sit in the sunshine with the goats and not have to worry.
Ah well. Life what happens while you’re busy counting goat berries.
I sure am tired though. Of the world and of everything. I just want to be a goat hermit.

I love this video. Sif was such a sweet dog.
Unfortunately I lost touch with Bodil during all the commotion and upeaval of moving away from the playground. That’s a big regret. I tried looking her up a while ago, but didn’t find anything useful. And she was an elderly lady already here, 15ish years ago. I would like to think she’s still okay, but realistically I don’t know what the chances of that are. Hope she’s okay if she’s still out there, she was a good friend, one of the first and few in real life I found through the goats.
And I love seeing the baby goaties carefully investigating the strange new creature.

No reply from the rehousing consultant yet. Slightly worried. When I sent that application for glasse to Jeanette to print, she told me that the mail had gone to her spam folder. I’m worried my mail to the consultant could have gone in her spam. Or maybe she’s on vacation, or maybe just busy. Or maybe she doesn’t keep up with mail. Well. I will give it a few more days. Then I guess i will try resending it from another email account. And if I don’t get anything back then I’ll have to try calling. I would really prefer not making the initial contact over the phone. I would really prefer that she could read about special situation first, because i’m not good on the phone.
But we’ll see. See see, come see come saw.
Extremely loud hiphop music and people cheeering and blowing whistles right outside my apartment right now. It’s been noisy all day in the neighbourhbood. i think I read today is a Somali national day or something? We do have a lot of refugees and immigrants in my neighbourhood, maybe it is connected to that. Sounds like they back their loudspeakers right up against my window just now. But hey, at least the dozing bulls are sleeping. Let them lie.
Icy Pepsi will chill me.
