Good goat times today. A cold and cloudy morning, but when the sun broke through it got real lovely and springy.
The goats were quite animated this morning. Especially Bella and Luna were sprinting around. They often butt heads a little when I prepare breakfast. And when Luna butts heads she’ll make little complainer bleats and dance around a bit and retreat. But today she was sprinting away, and Bella followed and then Sky had to start running to get out of their way. And then it turned into a big blur of running goats. Fun to watch!
And we had a couple of kids visiting who got to feed the goats. The feathers fluttering around. Once the sun came through the goats settled down and there was lots of nice relaxing in the sunshine. Good stuff.
When I got home I decided to carry on with my apartment cleaning. For a long time I have been wanting to do something about my rolling computer table. I got my TV and PC on it, but also old stuff. A DVD player and some kind of tv box/dvd encoder. And a big cable mess. Three remotes. Stuff that hasn’t been turned on for 5+ years. It’s literally falling apart and not really of use anymore, I want to get rid of all my DVDs so what do I need a DVD player for? So I got that all cleaned up. Still hae to lug it all down to the garbage disposing place outside. But I’m really happy to have gotten it all sorted and cleaned away. A good step on the road of getting the place tidy and less gross.
And now it’s time to soup innit.

Just watched a guy cook an omelette with Coca Cola. Frying the egg in coke, I mean. There’s something sinister about cola being poured into a pan, it feels like a six fingered ai human, it’s just not quite.. right.
Apparently it didn’t taste too great either. I wonder if Pepsi Max omelette would be good…

Wow. My old XP computer turned on and booted and works. I was a little shocked to see that.
Okay, let’s start from the beginning. Today was exercise day. Got an hour fortyfive. Onwards towards new targets. After that I continued the apartment cleaning. First I organised the stuff from yesterday, the old DVD players and crap, got it in bags, ready to take down to the garbage.
Next on the agenda was looking at my old PCs. I have had three old desktop computers standing in my apartment for well as long as I can remember. My ancient XP system, which I think I got while I was still living at home. I’m pretty sure. And then the Windows 7 system that replaced it. And then a cheap refurbished Windows 10 computer that I bought to experiment and see if I could cope with Windows 10, if it had the accessible features I needed. Which it did, and after that I got my current Windows 10 computer that I’ve had for I guess 6ish years now. I really would like a new computer, but one of the main things that’s keeping me from doing it, other than spending all that money, is the thought of having to deal with Windows 11. Microsoft’s operating systems just get worse and worse with every itiration, and all I’ve hard of 11 is that it’s even worse and evil. Sigh.
Now Windows XP. That was an operating system I liked.
I got the old computer hooked up. It took some tries. At first the old monitor wouldn’t turn on and I thought oh great that’s not working either? But it turned out I hadn’t plugged the power cable in all the way. Whoops. User error. Once I got that plugged in I managed to get the PC booted. I was surprised it still works. It hadn’t been turned on in over a decade I think, probably longer. I’m not an expert on the hardware stuff, but I thought motherboards had batteries that would go bad or something. But it turned on. And I booted into XP!64. I remember spending weeks getting the 64bit version of XP to work. I won’t bore you with all the details, but it was a struggle because XP wasn’t designed to work with SSD drives and blabla. But I got it working back then and I got it working now. And XP just feels so much better than modern operating systems. I mean of course there’s stuff that’s vastly out of date now. But I really wish you could get a new and updated and working XP system. I’d pay good money for that.
Anyway. Fun to boot up that old system. I guess I cleaned it out before I abandoned it last, becaue the drives are virtually empty. No fun surprises from the past there. I’m going to do my best to wipe the drives securely. My plan is to keep one of the three old computers, the newest one that will work. I they all three work then it will be the Windows 10 test machine I keep. Even though I love XP, I don’t have use for that computer anymore. So two of them I will do my best to wipe all personal info from the drives and then get rid of them. Along with all the rest of the old junk I’m ditching.
At some point I do want a new computer, but it’s such a huge purchase. With tariffs and inflation it’s probably only going to get more expensive. And I am terrified of spending all that money and then not having it work as I need it. I am a special needs user, and I hate change. So I’ll plug along on this machine for now. It’s starting to show its age. But since I don’t do gaming, I don’t have need of a big powerhouse machine. Would be nice to have something that could do better with video editing though. I spend so much time editing goat footage. And now that it’s hd footage it does tax the machine a lot more than the old lower resolution days.
Alright, that’s enough rambling. It was kind of a thrill seeing that old Windows XP boot screen. Better times. When you only think of the good. I have so much nostalgia for lots of old things, conveniently ignore all the pain and anxiety I have always had in various forms. But hey oh, it’s forward we go. Maybe Windows 12 will be better.
zzzz

Not just exercise and ancient Windows XP booting computer today. Also a Protein & Pepsi delivery today. With cucumber added. Did I mention at the last Pee And Pee I got a couple of cucumber to see if they were good enough now? Well they were, so today I got more. I love a good cucumber, and they fit in great in my diet. So that’s great. I used to slice cucumbers when I ate them, but now I just eat them like an apple. A really long apple. I’m a grownup, I can do what I want.
8/4 2025

.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to invest in *checks notes* everything.
Anyway, when I put in my order for pepsi and protein and cucumber, I got some suggestions for other things I could get. You know the typical “you may also like”. Well, normally I don’t even read those. But I happened to see they were suggesting.. cherry pie. Oh my oh my. I was so tempted to get that. In fact I put it in my shopping basket, but ended up deleting it before I made the final order. Maybe I’ll get it in a couple of weeks, when I am due to ease up on the diet.
It was frozen cherry pie, though. Probably not great. I don’t even know if you’re supposed to heat that in an oven or just let it defrost or.. eat it as a cherry pie icecream. I don’t know. I don’t have a real oven, and my mini oven I am not sure it even works anymore, haven’t used it in years. I wonder if it’ll boot if I turn it on.
But damn. I am not sure if I have ever actually had cherry pie, and that seems like a great oversight. But have been a good day for it, since it’s the 35th anniversary of the Twin Peaks pilot.
I wish I knew a place that delivered real cherry pie.
Anyway, happy pie day.

Good goat times today. Another lovely day with lots of sunshine. A little on the cold side. When I was sitting on the mountain in my t-shirt Jeanette called out and asked “Of you’re trying summer today? Aren’t you cold?”. A little cold, but the sun was nice. Did put my jacket on later. I enjoy the sun, and so do the goats.
We had our regular visitors from the neighbour school today. No Beren again. I hope she’s okay. Maybe her schedules have changed. Hope she gets to see the goats, because I know she loves that. But plenty of other kids there, and the teachers who are always nice. The scent of Jeanette’s fireplace strong in the air. Quite lovely.
Came home and did an hour on the bike. Not so much flapping today, really tired. Andlegs like spaghetti. But I put in some time. Now I’m going to put in some soup.
My internet keeps going down right now, we’ll see if I can post this.

Spent some time on my old computers today. After teh succesful boot of the XP computer, this time it was the old Windows 10 PC. Hasn’t been turned on in 5-6 years, but it booted just fine. Hours of updating Windows got it up to version 22H2. So that’s still about 3 years out of date. But it says it can’t find any more updates. I’ll look into it a bit more, but I think that computer should work as a backup in case anything happens to my current system.
I thought maybe I could update it to Windows 11, to try that operating system out, but I guess not. I don’t know if Microsoft still offers free upgrades from 10 to 11. But that old pc probably couldn’t run it anyway.
Next to load up the Windows 7 PC and see if that works. And then I guess I’ll be trashing the XP and W7 computers and keeping the W10 test system. That’s the plan, Stan.

Got an hour fortyfive on the bike today. Lets still tired, may have to give them a little break soon. Had to lower the resistance a bit to get through the last 10ish done. But I’m still putting in the effort, and that’s good.
Afterwards a bit more apartment cleaning, although this session was just working on the old computers. Got done with the old Windows 10 test build. It’s as up to date as it’s going ot get, and internet and stuff works. Should be fine as an emergency backup, so i’ll keep that around.
I was hoping to do a complete wipe of the old XP PC, but unfortunately the DVD drive doesn’t work anymore, so I couldn’t boot up on a disc and wipe the hard drive. You can’t wipe the Windows hard drive from within windows, obviously. You can’t demolish a house when you’re standing inside it. Well, maybe you could but that probably would be a bad idea.
I’m going to see if it’s possible to make a bootable USB stick and wipe the drive from that.
It’ll be nice to get two of the old three computers out of the house and crossed off the list.
My dad was here yesterday and I gave him an old camera. The one I found the pics of us on it recently. I don’t know if they can get any use of the cameras, a real digital camera might be a little too complicated for them. But otherwise they can give it away or something.
But progress continues, on myself and on the apartment. And that’s good enough for me.
Now it’s soup time, and that’s great enough for me. The soup is out there.
12/4 2025

.
I guess I will have to scale back on the soup a bit. Recently I have been leaving more and more leftovers. Not the soup, but the fillings. Potatoes, carrots, flourballs.
This happened last year when I got down to the low weight too. I don’t know if my stomach shrinks or what, but I can’t seem to finish a whole big pot. Which makes me a little sad, because I love just snarfring down a whole pot of soup. Oh well. I’ll have to do smaller portions.
Goes against my whole nature. Just like I can’t eat just half a bag of candy, if I have it then I must eat it and I must eat it all. And if I make soup I must make a giant pot and eat it all. Ah well. First world problems, literally.
Speaking of first world, thoughts and prayers for the american kids who won’t get to work screwing in tiny screws in iphones after all. Sad!

Seeing Republicans try to justify why Greenland is important. Sheeshush. Yeah, maybe it’s important to world peace. The thing is, America has publically repeatedly threatened Denmark with military force. Russia has not. From our point of view, we need protection against America. Maybe we should strike a deal with Russia, let them have some military bases on Greenland. You know. Like America has.
No matter how important Greenland is, you don’t have the right to just take it. How does that make you better than, any other warmongering country throughout history. What would fkn Jesus say?
Alright alright, i’ll shut up now. I know it’s dumb to get worked up about this stuff, but it gets the blood boiling to see people who pretend to be about christianity and law and order and ethics and integrity being so completely morally bankrupt, they look like a Trump casino.

Good goat times today. A beautiful spring day. Cold wind in the morning, but lots of sunshine. The dark of winter is over and the daylight is saving us.
Lots of lounging around with the goaties. Snoreypants. I sat with Sky for a while in the sunshine, locking the gate between the pens so we could have some alone time. Did I mention that Jeanette has put a second latch on the gate with a padlock? So now I can lock it well enough that Bella can’t break it open, not for lack of trying. But I had time for all of them of course.
And we had some nice visitors, kids coming in to pet and feed the goats. Jeanette back from being sick, and the feathers out a flapping. The newbies are learning to be careful around Bella and Luna, who will sometimes try to knock them away if they get too close. The three reds are hanging around the goats a lot, the two whites are a little more standoffish.
A lovely springtime day, and now I’m going to top it up with some soup.

I used to think the dystopian future would be people selling their bodyparts to survive, but now I’m thinking maybe they’ll just sell their votes.
I still don’t understand how it can legal to just offer up money to voters. I mean obviously money has always been a major part of it all, it always seems to be almost the most important paramter, who can fundraise the most. “We need this much money to have a chance to win this seat/office/position”. But that it’s legal for billionaires to just hand out money to people who vote, I don’t get it. Why would the rich want inflation to go away, the poorer the populace is the more they can be controlled with. Next time they’ll probably hand out eggs to people who vote.

Got an hour forty five on the bike today. Flapping away. And then some more apartment cleaning. Dove into some shelves that have barely been touched for a decade, at least the back of them. Found another old hard drive, nothing interesting on it unfortunately. Also stacks of old driver CDs and manuals for motherboards and graphic cards from old coputer. Also found my old minidisc player/recoder. Kids, minidiscs are like a CD but small. And CDs are like a piece of toast that has music on it. And music is that thing we used to have before autotune *yells at clouds*
Anyway, found my old concert recordings. There was a time, a long time ago, when i actually went to some concerts. Like 10-15? Before the blindness, when the lure of live music got me to fight the anxiety and go outside. i have always loved listening to concert recordings, so i made some myself. I am not even sure if i can transfer them to my PC. There’s a USB cable in the box, but i’m not even sure if any of it works or what software might be needed etc. I’m going to try to hook the player up to my pc and see if I can transfer the files from the discs. But I’m not going to spend more time than that on it. If I can’t just straight up copy the files from the discs to the pc, then I’m just going to throw it all out. I’m glad I got to go to some concert in my life, but i want to lighten my load and not hang on to so many things, so if I have to get rid of those recordings I am okay with that. It would be fun to have them on the pc, but it’s a bygone era and I’m ok letting it go.
Most of the concerts were with my old classmate Tina Dickow (stop sniggering), who was featured in several American tv shows and movies. And was leadsinger of the band Zero 7 for a while. She’s still doing music, and i’m still a fan, although not as much as in the old days.
Just nice to be clearing out stuff.

Some Lasse distraction.
Watched the two last episodes of Common Side Effects. Great show. If you like mystery scifi-ish animation, I verily recommend. It’s cool and beautiful at times.
Watched the two first episodes of The Studio. Loved it. I have always liked Seth Rogen, and he’s great in this. Really funny so far. Honestly the Martin Scorsese kool-aid thing was kind of genius. Looking forward to more of this.
Listening to the Labyrinth soundtrack has made me want to watch the movie again. And I realised I don’t think I have watched the movie with the commentary on, so I think I might do that soon.
Getting close to the end of reading Christine. Fun enough read, although the premise is a little hard to take seriously. But not a bad read.
Temperatures are rising, spring is getting going. It’s almost t-shirt weather and this year I’m starting the season in a lot better shape than last year. Hope we’ll have some good times even if the goat situation has become more complicated because of the hierarchy

Good goat times today. Bloody gorgeous day. Lots of sun and upwards of 16C/60F. For Denmark that’s, well that’s almst summer. Warmest day of the year so far, and great spring feeling. So nice.
Jeanette had vacation today, so it was just me. And a bunch of visitors enjoying the lovely weather. The usual kids from the neighbour schpol. Didn’t see Beren today, but several other of the regular kids, coming in and spending time with the goats.
The two nice teacher ladies who are always kind to me were there too. One of them had baked some kind of chocolate bread. I was told it was healthy but I still declined when they offered me some. I thanked them but I’m kind of fasting during the first 3/4ths of the day, for a little longer now.
And when the goats weren’t entertaining the visitors or doing goofy things, there was just lots of sitting around in the sun. Spent some good time sitting with each. I especially love scraching Sky’s belly, that fur so warm in the sunshine.
I think it will be cooling down again now, but it was nice to get a taste of real spring. Hope we get more of that soon.
Got home and did an hour on the exercise bike. Excellent result on the scales, I’m aaalmost there, close to the target.
Now I’m going to break fast with soup.

I DECLARE VICTORY!
Got an hour fifty on the bike today. And afterwards I got on the scales and I’m back at my record low weight that I achieved last year. It took some time, but I got back there.
I have talked about how I gained weight over the christmas holidays and the January hellscape. But I didn’t say how much I gained. Now that I have lost it again, I feel comfortable saying that I actually gained 20 pounds during that time. Now, keep in mind I lost 50 pounds before that, so I was still in an okay place. But it obviously wasn’t good, and there was a certain fear that “am I going to put it all back on, can I not stop the downwards spiral?”. So I am happy and proud that I turned it around and lost the weight again. In a way you could say that I have lost 70 pounds now. Just, also gaining 20 in the middle.
But it’s good to be back. And in better shape too. It’s frustrating that it’s so easy to put on all that weight, and so much work to lose it again. But I have done it more responsibly this time. Last year during the big weight loss I was borderline starving myself at times. Not completely to a dangerous level, but I went pretty hardcore. Especially because I was completely neglecting protein, I was definitely not getting enough protein for a large stretch there. This time I have been much more cognisant of that challenge. Much more aware of how much I need and how to get it. Last year for many months I didn’t eat bread at all. This time i have eaten bread. Danish rugbrød. Rye bread. I think that’s a lot healthier than white bread, and in Denmark it’s just a stable part of our lifestyle. And I have been eating protein skyr and pudding, and lately just staight up protein powder. So not only have I lost the weight again, but I have added muscle. Which I believe is especially important for a diabetic, to help process the sugar. And keep metabolism going. And stuff.
In any case I am really happy with the result. Last summer I was a work in progress, this time I’ll be going into the summer pretty much a done deal.
I still plan to go for another couple of weeks to see if I can lose some more weight, make a bigger buffer. I know when relax the diet I’ll probably gain weight again. But this time hopefully I will be able to control it better and not gain so much. I would also like to relax the exercising a little bit, focus more on goating. Once a week I have been doing exercising after a goat trip, and that’s tough. I’d rather spend the extra time with the goats. In the sunshine. And getting the natural exercise of just moving around, walking there and back, chasing goats and chickens. That’s my hope.
Really looking forward to having some pizza again. in a week or two.
Also got some more apartment cleaning done after the exercise. Digging into some more ancient cupboards that have been untouched for a decade. Old boxes and cables of tech stuff that’s no longer relevant. A wireless keyboard. Hah. I think it must have come with one of our old computer, like 2 or 3 generations back. I have always hated wireless stuff, so I never used it. And it’s also just a regular keyboard, not a high contrast one like the ones I use today. Feels good to get rid of the pounds and of the old junk from the past weighting me down.
And now it’s soup time. I earned that. And that shall remain the stablest part of my diet.

Dollarstore Willy Wanker going to put golden immigration tickets in McDonalds burgers soon, I wonder?
I’m not going to say I know a lot about the gold card thing, maybe it’s no worse than what’s already there, it’s not like being rich giving you an advantage is a new thing. Maybe this is just fine, maybe it’ll be great for the US economy and bring in people that will embiggen society.
But the optics are just soo.. on the nose. Cutting aid around the world, letting all the poor people suffer and deporting everyone who doesn’t look whiter than the new Snow White, while the rich can buy their way into the country and on the fasttrack to citizenship. Exactly what you’d expect from a country run by cryptobro grifter golf kart terrrorists. Swing that chainsaw and decapitate the humanity and empathy.
As always I can’t help wondering what Jesus would say. Let me see your bank account before I decide if I’m going to help you. Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, so we can ship them off to El Salvador and have room for the rich fatcats and nepobabys yearning to breathe free of the covid masks.

Okay, normally I would never post a picture like this. I am under no illusion that this is impressive or anything, her me later and understand me now, I am no Arnie. I have always hated myself, and even on victory day with the weight loss I still feel fat and ugly and always will.
That being said, I think it’s pretty funny that LOOK I HAVE A MUSCLE. I’m pretty sure there’s at least one on theo ther side too!
Haha. Actually getting enough protein has helped. I remember when I had my bad fall some years ago and had to go to physical therapy, the physio (the one who mainly wanted to do acupunture and didn’t really help me much) said that one thing to work on was muscles, because I really didn’t have anything to work with. Which took me a little aback, because well I hadn’t really thoughto f that. I have always had skinny arms, even when I was much larger I still had arms so skinny they looked unhealthy really. But I never really thought about how I didn’t have much muscle.
I still don’t have that much, but it’s just kind of funny to be able to feel some muscle when you flex.
I kind of wish i could go to the gym and do some real weight lifting, not because I want to be super jacked, but that’s supposed to be really good for your back. But with my blindness and anxiety that’s just not something I feel up to. I have my dumbbells and rods that I use, and that will have to do. It’s better than nothing. And I am really pleased that I have been able to lose all the weight again while also adding muscle. That has been a success.
Now I promise to not post another picture of myself without goats for the next eleventy months
Pump, it up!
