Year
January 4th, 2026Good goat times today. Good to get out again.
I missed all last week because of holidays and feeling bad days. I have missed too many days lately.
But good to be back. Frost on the ground, but a good deal of sun in the sky. And my three little goat buddies, the best company there is. A quiet day with them, no visitors while I was there. Jeanette on vacation. So we just hung out. Lots of treats and scratches.
It will be nice to get back to a proper routine with them. Just gotta get mew year’s over with, and then it’s year of the goat. Which is every year, for me.
And now it’s time for some soup. Maybe I’ll have some of the bread fairy’s bread with it.

When they met it was MURDER!
.. of crows, that is.
The crows were out greeting me when I got there this morning. Been a while since I heard a real big gathering of the feathers.

Hey everybuddies. Got an update from Jeanette about Lily and Nuller. Look, they have a new friend! A little girl called Klokkeblomst (Tinker Bell). How sweet. Now they are a trio again, after Sassy’s passing. She looks like a little sweetheart. While Nuller is looking like the big boy he was always destined to be. I think he outgrew little mama Lily pretty early on. Good to see them again.

Last day of the year. Nine hours to go right now.
I’m just going to have a quiet night in. As I always do. I’ll just be sitting here and hoping nothing explodes. I don’t like this day. I worry about the goats. And the world.
I’ll write more later. The recap of my year will be about 815 pages.
I did get a little exercise today. I got a hint that I Should check my mailbox in the morning. I’ll tell you later what I found. But I took the chance to walk up and down the 6 flights of stairs. Going up takes a lot more energy! But that counts as exercise, right?
Have a safe day and night everyone.
Talk laterz, gaterz.

Butt what?

Well, it’s been a year. It sure has. It sure has. More than ever, it’s been a year.
The whole world has gone crazy. But what else is new. Every yeah for the last almost decade or so we’ve ended every year with some variation of “it’s been the worst year ever, it can only get better next year” and then it got worse. Is next year going to be worse? Who the fork knows, probably.
But I’m not too concerned with the real world. It’s not something I have a lot of desire to be a part of. It is not my world anymore.
But I wish you all luck in fixing it! Who knows, maybe it’s possible. I feel like we’ve passed the tipping point and there’s no longer hope of a good future. But then I am always fatalistic. I hope I’m wrong, I hope we can make it better at some point.
And I hope I can keep contributing a little bit of positivity with the goat posts. It always makes me happy when people on the goat page say I have helped them or given them something to smile about or whatever. I know that from myself, podcasters or youtubers or whatever who do things they don’t themselves think is something that important, but it just means a lot to have something to look forward to in your day, something to smile about, some community to feel a part of. Or whatever. I guess that’s something to strive for. Keep throwing pebbles and hope the ripples of positivty spread to enough people.
I’m not drunk, I swear. I only drink Pepsi, even on New Year’s eve.
Anyway. It has indeed been a year. Probably the craziest in my life since.. I don’t know when. Since the diabetes stuff quieted down. The biggest and most important change in decades? Maybe. There have been a couple of big goat moves in those years and those impated my life. But on the home front it has been a long long time since something this major happened.
It’s funny looking back at my personal headlines this year.
And I can do that, because I keep a history. Some of you may remember that I actually have a website with a blog. I used to do actual blogging. Now I just use the blog as a Facebook archive. Which can be handy if I want to remember something or look back on it. But looking back at the headlines, the first half of the year there’s pretty much nothing going on. Some health concerns about my brother and parents. They have had their issues, my brothers two hip surgeries and complications, my mother with pneumonia and breathing problems, and of course dad’s pacemaker and progressing alzheimers. Those were the challenges of the first half of the year, but for me personally there was pretty much nothing.
And then in June it was breaking news with the termination of my lease due April next year. And then from July it was suddenly all a whole lot and very important. Getting in touch with Helle. Meetings about the rehousing. And I thought then that would be it until next year, that I would be moving at the last moment in April. Then the tooth pains took over, ending with having a tooth pulled. And then suddenly it was back to the apartment situation, with two offers in one week. And well you know how it all went. I picked one, got it, and then it was all the moving and stuff. No reason to go over it all in detail again. It’s kind of crazy to think that now.. I’m on the other side of all that. Presumably. I still have some unpacking and organising to finish. But in most aspects I am.. home.
I had known for years that it was coming, that I would have to move at some point. But I didn’t think I could do it.
I am still so relieved and thankful that it went like it did. I was so scared of it, I was convinced it was something I could not get through, something I could not face. But it all worked out in the best possible way, I think. And as always, I have to say a million billion thank yous to Helle. I don’t know how things would have gone if I hadn’t reached out to her and if she hadn’t been so willing to help me. I don’t know if I could have done it without her, but I know it would have been tremendously harder. Even the times she wasn’t actively helping, it was just a huge mental help to know she was on my side.
The moving experience itself was actually almost kind of nice. It’s almost a fond memory now. Going back and forth with a shopping kart. It was almost.. fun? Not that I want to do it again. But yeah, I saved so much time, so much money and so many worries.
Not everything here is perfect, but I’m so happy I got here and I sure hope it will be a long long time before I have to deal with anything like this again.
Hopefully next year will be a less complicated one. I know there are things ahead that will be difficult. For me, and for the world. But one day a day.
Thank you everyone so much for helping me along with this too. It’s priceless, to not ever have to feel like I’m completely alone. Daily support and well wishes, it truly means the world to me and makes a huge difference. I have a fatalistic mind that always trends towards sadness and self-pity. But I try to knock sense into myself and be aware and grateful for how blessed I am in many ways. I may not be ‘normal’ or have a ‘normal’ life in some ways. But it could be so damn much worse.
And now. I’m going to actually shut up. There’s about an hour left of the year here. Constant fireworks outside. I do not like this night, but it’s just something to get through.
Hope you all have a happy and safe new year’s eve. And may good things come to you in the new year. I may not have much hope for the world, but that doesn’t mean I’m not hoping for good things for you all.
HAPPY NEW YEAR

So here it is, merry 2026.
No incidents so far.
I turned off the lights at midnight and watched some fireworks. It certainly is a better view from the 6th floor than from ground floor. Although with my lack of sight, it’s not like I could get the full effect. And I just… really hate fireworks. I don’t trust humans to have explosives. If it was up to me they would be totally banned. Have some designated spots where professionals can fire them off, if you need to enjoy some explosions. But for me, no thank you.
I like the quiet on New Year morning, everyone sleeping it off. It’s almost 4 pm now, fireworks going again. If it was just one night then it would bother me less. But a month and more, bit much.
But enough about that. I think I’m going to start the year with some soup. Set the tone for the year.
Hope you’re all into the new year without problems. May it be a good one. It could happen.

First day of 2026 done. Okay, okay. I’m not going to keep counting days.
Almost two months done in the new apartment. Okay okay, I’ll stop counting months.
I’m running out of fingers anyway.
Just planning to take it easy for the rest of the week. And then next week I’ll try to start working hard to get in a better place, physically and mentally. Not in a super great place right now. Well, the apartment is good. But the body and brain has been better. I think the replacement brain I got will work out fine. It’s Normal. ABBY NORM
okay okay.
So, one day a day. I don’t have any plans or ambitions for the year. That may sound bad, but it’s really not. I didn’t have any plans for last year and look how that went. Lots of stuff happening. And I may not have had ambitions but I ended up facing a whole lof of fears and doing a whole lot of things that were difficult. Don’t know if I exactly conquered anything, but I faced them head on and with help and determination I got through some stuff and bla bla.
There’s a very good chance that there will be very difficult things happening this year, for me and for the world. We’ll worry about that when we get there.
I hope you will all have the strength, help and luck to overcome whatever hardships you may face this year.
Whatever happens, the rock in space will keep rotating. Try to enjoy the ride.

Eight years. Sigh.
Also time to diet again again.

Ooh. Did you know that the entire series of Earth2 is on youtube?
Okay, it’s not the best quality. I’m still tempted to sit down and watch the whole thing.
It’s one of my earliest memories of the kind of shows I love most, the somewhat serialized mysteryboxy show. And sci-fi.
It may have been my introduction to Tim Curry too. I probably had seen him before this, but this might have been the first time he really stood out to me. His character was super interesting, even if he was only in I think 3 episodes.
And it must have been the first time I saw Clancy Brown. Always loved him.
And I thought Rebecca Gayheart was sooo fine.
May also have been the first time I clutched my head and screamed at the screen WHAT THAT CANT BE THE ENDING. Because it got cancelled on a cliffhanger. And that was back when I didn’t really know how the TV business worked and you didn’t have access to constant information about everything all of the time. So I didn’t understand why they would choose to end the show on a giant cliffhanger. Not realising that wasn’t THEIR choice.
I miss those kinds of shows. The 20+ episode seasons. If they rebooted that show today it would be like 8 episodes and then a couple of years before you found out if it was cancelled or coming back. To be fair it would probably also be a lot better of a show. Because strictly speaking Earth2 wasn’t a great show. Apparently Steven Spielberg was involved but had his name taken off it after watching it? Haha. But I miss when TV shows had all those episodes to slowly evolve. And you had all that time to get to know the world and the characters and the story. Those 12 seasons of Buffy and Angel would probably be 20 episodes if it was made today. I grew up feeling like the Buffyerse was there all my life.
Alright, I’ll shut up. But if you want to watch some good old 90s scifi mysterybox, then Earth 2 is on the youtube.

You win some, you lose some.
Not a great day today. I got up around 8.30. And I got back in bed around 8.40.
Crushing depression. I don’t know if people who haven’t experienced that kind of depression know how physical it can feel. Like a heavy blanket weighting you down.
Anyway. I did not want to be in this world. So the only other place to be was dreamland, and I went back to bed for some 4ish hours.
Not a smart thing to do. But sleeping feels good. So good, so good.
The day hasn’t been a complete loss. I was planning to get up early and do exercises. The eearly part didn’t work out, but I managed to force myself on the bike. Got about an hour, so I’ll count that as a win. Even if the performance wasn’t great. But I very nearly did nothing at all, so doing something is good. Still in the phase of trying to get back into a routine. So doing _something_ was important. Just gotta stick with it.
Not feeling too good physically and mentally. But hopefully it will pick up when I get back to regular hoating and exercising. That’s the plan.
I’m out of ice cream and chocolate. Got a few protein bars left. I’ll try my best to not buy more. Eat more veggis and fruits, add some protein powder. Try to get that 5-2 diet going.
One day a day. Hope you’re all doing alright out there. Only 3 days into the year, still plenty of time to make it bang.

Thank you everyone for the encouraging words on the last post.
Feeling somewhat better, to a point. Glad I made myself do the exercising, makes me feel like the day wasn’t a complete waste. Now I have to get my sleep rhythm back after sleeping way too much.
In other news, I’m definitely not commenting about Veneuela.
Okay, I don’t know enough about the whole situation anyway to make informed comments. I am well aware that my feelings are deeply coloured by my opinion on.. some parties involved.
It just seems deeply baffling to me. The world in general, I mean.
I wish they would get going already and invent a way for us to get rid of our bodies and just put our brains in jars and let us live in a virtual reality representation of a time when we were happier. That sounds like the plot of a 90s scifi movie, and that is also the reality I would like to be put into thank you. The 90s were the besties.
Hope you’re all having a good weekend. I think I’m going to go to youtube and watch Jerry Stiller and Julia Louis Dreyfus outtakes. That always makes me laugh.

Not a great day today. Not surprisingly. Slept way too much yesterday, so I couldn’t sleep properly last night so I want to sleep now during the day but I can’t sleep too much or I won’t be able to sleep tonight and..
Not a good cycle.
And the depression is pretty strong still.
But it’s alright. Tomorrow we start getting back to the routines, just gotta find my way back to that. No problemo.
Too cold though. I saw someone say it’s going to be down to -15C/5F at night now. I don’t think it will be quite that cold right here in my area. But it’s getting down there.
But enough complaining. It will be good to get back on the right track. Goating, souping, exercising.
It’s all going to be great.
And America is definitely not going to kidnap Danish leaders and just ‘run’ Greenland for the minerals and stuff. That’ll never happen.
Alright. Take a chill pill, Lassedude. And turn up the heater.
