June 28th, 2026Good goat times today. A hot one. Not quite as hot as the weekend, but hot enough. Burning sunshine. A beautiful summer’s day.
I wasn’t feeling my best in the morning. I mentioned that I had eaten unhealthily again, well I was downplaying that. I had pizza and cake, multiple times. Because my depression demands to be fed.
So today I was bloated and out of shape again, staggering along. At least my leg wasn’t hurting too bad. A little bit of pain when prodded, but I could walk fine without pain. So that was good
But yeah, I was feeling depressed and fat and dumb. Thankfully the goats make that all go away. And just sitting around with them in the unshine is the best medicine.
It was mostly just sitting around today, because it was so hot. Goats soaking up ths sunshine, until it got too much and they retreated to the shade. A little bit of headbutting and some competing for snacks, but mostly just relaxing.
And sweet visitors. Lots of people taking advantage of the gloriosu weather. And I guess maybe it’s summer vacation by now? There were some eager kids saying hit to the goats and swinging the swings. One lady came in to take photos of the goats and she asked their names. And was impressed by Bella enjoying a hoof massage.
A lovely day to recharge the solar power brain cells. Now I have to get back in the swing of the exercise and tomato. Up and down the rollercoaster goes.
Right now it’s time for some soup. It’s kind of too hot for soup, but you know what I say. It’s not too hot for soup. That’s what I say. I should have a big sign printed of that saying so I can just carry it around and save my voice.

I got mauled by the goats again.
Well, this picture is just a sun-hug from Luna. I think it was her that got me during breakfast, though.
Actually, I think I just tripped over her. I was giving them breakfast down in the pen because the weather was so great. I was reaching out to fill up the bowl I had put up on the platform, and then someone crashed into my legs. Or I tripped over them. Truth is subjective. Anyway,, I fell forward. Thankfully I caught a hold of the platform and steadied my self, no injuries. But I did send half the goat breakfast frying over the platform and on the ground. The goats discussed this among themselves and reached the conclusion that I should go fetch some more to make sure no one was left hungry. Well, who am I to argue with the bosses..

Bella sitting down on one of the podiums. Not often she sits there, that’s typically Sky’s spot. And sometimes Luna. But I guess she wanted to get out of the sunshine, and there’s lovely shade under the big tree there.

Fkk. My computer overheated agan and shortcircuited and took out the electrical outlet, turning off the TV and everything connected to that plug.
So that’s not good. If it was the old system with those round physical fuses, I’d probably have to change a fuse. But I think the system handles all that automatically
But it’s not good that I short circuit the eletrical plug. At some point it’s going to do permanent damage to the computer, if not my whole apartment or start a fire.
Ugh.
I really need a new computer. And I really don’t want to deal with that.
I looked in my Windows settings and my power setting was set to “high performance”. I have changed it to “Balanced” now. I don’t know if that will make any difference at all.
This really bites. It makes me want to get cake and pizza and hide in bed for a week.
Sigh.
Well, in other news. I got my package today. No problem at all. I wrote down the “collection code” but the package store guy just looked at it and asked “what’s this?”. I told him about hte QR code stuff and that it had never happened before and I didn’t even know if he needed it. He just shrugged and went and got my package and handed it to me. So that was literally a lot of worrying for nothing. But at least I got my package, and I hope in the future it will continue to go without problems. Feel kind of stupid for taking 30 pictures of a QR code on my pc screen now.
Also, is your fridge running? Because mine is, thankfully. When I got up this morning my fridge door was not a door, it was ajar. Either I have little kitchen gremlins having fridge parties at night, or I didn’t close the fridge door properly before going to bed yesterday. Leaving it open all night in this hot weather. At last it didn’t blow a fuse, even if I ould feel a lot of heat from the back.
Got my balcony doors open and the fan running now, so hopefully it’s cool enough that my pc won’t blow up again. For now.
I used to long for the hot days to come, now I look at the forecast and see super hot days coming and I wonder if I’ll have to just leave my computer off all day. And effectively cut me off from my life.
Tra la.
I’m going to drown my sorrows in iced Pepsi.
I am tired of everything.

Got an hour fifty on the bike today. So I got that going for me. Back to work. Rollercoastering in. I am tiiired now. Also got a Pepsi & tomato delivery. I’ll be enjoying some of that later.
I was worried about my computer during the exercise. I always keep it how. With balcony doors closed and space heater going rught at me. So I was a little concerned if my computer would blow up during that. I have a big timer running on the computer screen when I’m on the bike, to keep track of how long I have been going and when it’s time to change to different sets and intervals. I was worried it would overheat with the space heater going on a hot day. But it made through. It wasn’t doing any computations other than running the clocktimer, so no stress on the systems. Let’s see how it continues to cope. As I said I have changed the Windows power plan to balaned. I have also turn of some stuff. And switched to a different power strip. Maybe that will solve everything.
I do have started looking at new computers. It’s kind of exciting. But I dread the change and expense and don’t want to deal with it. But if I get another overheating despite the cnanges I have made, then I think I’ll have to buy a new pc. Fiddlesticks and sockleknocks.
Anyway, my leg did fine for the exercise. There’s still a little soreness from the injury, but no pain from riding the bike. So no excuses for not getting back to working hard, I guess!
Need me some iced Pesppee now.

Got an hour fiftyfive on the bike today. So I got that going for me. Phew that was a hot one. Hottest one yet, probably. Hot day and space heater going. My computer didn’t explode and I didn’t get heatstroke, so that’s good. And it was a good session, my legs felt strong. Maybe the extra stretches I did last night helped. Felt good and strong, and with the sweat pouring from the heat and effort. That’s the stuff.
Now I will enjoy me a plater of tomatoes and a few gallons of ide Pepsi. I don’t know what a gallon is, your measurements confuse and anger me. *shakes fist*
I got a mail from the neuro clinic. “We unfortunately have to reschedule your appointment on September 22nd”. Well, they rescheduled it to September 9th. So. No reason to apologise for that. Still aways off. It’s been almost two months without a blackout now, so hey maybe that thing is totally fixed yeah yeah, why not.

there is no water in the river
it has run dry
there are no fish anymore
they all died
there are no humans in the houses
they all moved out to the forest
they are living in the trees now
scared of the ground
there are no birds in the sky
they have stopped singing
there was no one left to listen
all the clocks have stopped ticking
there was no time left to lose

Good goat times today. A bloody gorgeous sunny day. Scorching. It’s getting up around 28C/82F. That’s very hot for Denmark. And it’s going to be getting even hotter tha next 3 days. The European heatwave is hitting Denmark.
You would think on such a hot day the goats wouldn’t want to do anything at all. But they were actually quite active, at least at first. Bella and Luna had some serious headbutting duels. And got Sky running. I had locked us in the big pen together to spend some time with her. And she started running excitedly and kinda goaded (goatet?) her into getting really fast, she was running up the hill and down and kicking up her heels, almost doing pirouettes. It was so cute and funny. The most exercise she’s had in a long time I think. I did start to think maybe it wasn’t a great idea to get her that worked up in this heat. So I sat down and tried to calm her down again. And went and fetched the water bucket for her so she could cool down. Maybe something to do on a cooler day! I can’t remember the last time I saw her move that fast that much. She’s still got some moves, even as she’s getting older. What is she now, she must be nearing 9 years old. Still the baby, according to visitors.
Also lots of sweet kids coming to say hi to the goats. They were all enjoying the lovely summer weather too.
And after all the excitement, we of course spent time just relaxing in the sun. Hopefully the goats will get through the next few days okay. The forecast says we could get up to 34C/93F. That’s something we rarely see here. Three days of that might be challenging. Maybe the goat house needs some airconditioning.
I have some other stuff, non goat, to talk about. But I’m going to need some soup now. Even though it’s too hot for soup, you know I always say it’s not too hot for soup. Soup is a state of mind, your body will just have to adjust to it.

Today was not just goating in the sunshine. I also had a doctor’s appointment in the morning. So before heading into the sun, I headed downtown.
Blood test for the diabetes and potassium stuff.
Once that was done I headed to the goats and figured I wouldn’t have to think about that all for a while.
Fastforward to later that day, today, back home from the goats and coming out of the shower, the sun scorching outside. And then I got a txt message. From the doctor’s office. Huh, I though. The message confirmed my appointment for next week. Huh, I thought. So I got my computer turned on and went to the online patient portal. And there was a message from my doctor. They got the results back from the blood tests already, and unfortunately my potassium is down again. I stopped taking the suppllements as directed about a month ago. So without supplements my potassium is too low. That’s not good. And the doctor wanted me to come in next week so we can try to figure out what’s going.
Sigh. So now I have to deal with that next week.
There’s always something. I know most of the things are negligible, often not even worth worrying about. But there’s never nothing. There’s always something.
I am tired. Of dealing with things. And now my depression is shouting in my face that what’s the point in trying to be healthy when my body is going to fail me anyway, what is the point of trying when you inevitably fail?
As I mentioned, the next three days are scheduled to be super hot. My plan is, was, will be, to work really hard and exercise and sweat off the pounds and really make an effort. And now my depression is screaming in my face to just sleep late, sit in front of the computer, order cake and pizza. At least you will feel good in the moment, then you can worry about the aftermath later.
Yeah yeah yeah. I’ll do the work hard thing, take advantage of the heat wave. But man. Depression is a bee, buzz kill.
And I’ll see how it goes next week with the doctor. I am imagining it’s not something we can just talk out, I will probably need more appointments, more tests, examinations, invasive questions, things I don’t want to deal with. More things, instead of nothing.
I am lucky to live in a country with excellent health care, lucky to have a family that supports me, lucky to have a great support system online, treasured friends.
Those are things I am thankful for.

Got an hour fifty on the bike today. So I got that going for me. Hot weather, raincoat on, space heater going. It’s tough, but I love it when the going gets tough. On the bike at least. I will do my best to stick to the plan, to work hard. As temperatures soar and the European heatwave cooks Denmark. I feel like a slab of meat on the gril. Just turn me over periodically and douse me with barbie q sauce.
I also did some detective work about my potassium levels today. Maybe came up with an explanation for the low levels. Maybe not. But maybe?
I was trying to think if I could come up with a reason why my potassium levels are too low. Maybe it’s something my body, my organs, whatever. Can’t really do anything about that on my own. What if it’s something from the outside? I take a bunch of supplements and vitamins and stuff like that. I was thinking if something I take might affect my potassium levels. I remembered when trying to find ways to improve my sleep that I think I read about apple cider vinegar affecting magnesium. i take quite a bit of acv, it’s supposed to help fat loss and blood sugar management. I take it in tablet forms because I’m paranoid about the acid damaging my teeth. But I know magnesium and potassium are kind of related, at least they are often talked about together in the stuff I have looked at. So I wondered to myself I wondered, if acv might affect magnesium, might it affect potassium too?
I went to Dr Google, who you should always trust and listen to, and it suggested that acv might cause low potassium. At least if you take too much of it. I am not sure if the amount I take would be enough to cause this. But it’s the best guess I have had so far.
So. I have sent off a message to my doctor. Basically saying “acv bla bla, would it be an idea if I completely stop taking acv and we wait 2-3 weeks and I come in and get blood tests done again and we see if my potassium is better?”
I haven’t got a reply yet, and it’s 3 pm on a Friday so I guess I won’t. I think I will call in to the doctor’s office on Monday. And hear if it’s okay that we cancel the appointment I have next week with the doc. I really hope so. I would like to avoid going to that appointment next week. Then I could wait 2-3 weeks and just go get blood tests done and then maybe everything would be fine and maybe that would be all I needed to have done for this.
Wouldn’t that be handy?
Let’s hope that’s how it goes. It does make sense to me. The acid is burning away the ptoassium, or however that works. And that’s why my potassium is too low. That would be a nice simple cause and effect with an easy solution.
Let’s my hopes up!
I’m going to have myself some nice tomatoes and iced Pepsi tonight, and sweat my butt off for the weekend. And try not to listen to the depression.
One day a day.

Now I know what flourballs feel like in a pot of soup. I’m boooooiling.
I have both balcony doors open, and the fan pointed right at me. And I still feel like … I can’t.. complete… metaphor… brain.. is… melting.
Anyway, if it wasn’t for my worry about my computer, I wouldn’t mind so much. I think I can hope better with the heat than with cold. And I feel cold even when it’s not cold. All it takes is a breeze and I feel cold.
But okay, it IS very hot now. Very very. Very. Hot.
I wonder if my computer will survive the day. It hasn’t had an electric shock and overheat shutdown since I did the changes to the power settings and changed the power strip and shut off some ervices. But I don’t know if the changes I made has had a real effect or if it’s just because I’m being so careful and taking precautions to not stress the system. I don’t want to tiptoe around my computer for the rest of my life, I need to be able to use it fully. Like editing goat videos without fear of losing all the work i did to a shutdown.
Researching the computer stuff has made me really want a new computer. It’s just going to be so expensive. Sigh. Maybe I can sell goat berries, they can sell like crystals right?

The forecast for tomorrow says 36C/97F. I honestly cannot remember ever seeing temperatures that high in a forecast. I’m not saying it hasn’t happened before in Denmark, I just don’t recall it.
And just to showcase what Danish summe weather is like, the forecast for Tuesday says 21C/70F. And that’s even a decent summer’s day for Denmark. Pretty big dip from Saturday to Tuesday, though.
It’s going to be interesting exercising in 36/97 degrees. I better drinks my waters.
It’s 11 pm now, and survivably cool. With the fan going.

Ooh, one of our videos has gone a tiny bit viral. 12.000+ views. Most of our videos land between 4-700 views. Every few days we’ll get a video that breaks a thousand. But it’s been a long time since we had this many views on a video. I used to try to game the algorithm and get popular and make memes and all that. I try not to worry about all that anymore. I’m thankful for all the familiar faces I see on the page, the names you get to know and the lovely feeling that there are people who enjoy what you post, and it’s lovely when you can send some positivity to people.
But it is fun when you see a video get popular. And Bella’s newfound habit of sliding down the ramps is pretty funny.
And now I think I need to get to bed because i am tired and heated.

Thank you everyone for the comments, advice, support. I appreciate it. Don’t have the capacity to reply to every comment, but I really appreciate that people care about me.
Heading to be soon now. I was going to exercise tomorrow again, but considering the blackout and all, maybe I shouldn’t. I’ll see how I feel tomorrow.
I have scheduled a delivery of Pepsi, and bananas. To get that potassium, hopefully.
I’m pretty sore now, because of the blackout I didn’t get to stretch properly after today’s exercise. So that’s not great. It’s tempting to think that the severe heat was the cause, but my previous blackouts have mostly been in much cooler temperatures, so I don’t think it’s necessarily connected to that. But I don’t know. But it seems safe to say that my issues are certainly not fixed, so I’ll be trying to make it to that neuro appointment in September. I don’t really think the potassium deficiency is the cause of the blackouts, since my potassium levels have been fine in the past when I had blackouts.
But I don’t know. I am tired and depressed and want to give up. But hey hey, I fight to lvie another day. One day a day.
Thank you everyone for caring, those who do. I appreciate it and I am sorry to be a cause of concern.

Oh hello there, I didn’t see you come in. I am in pain. My whole body feels like it was run over by a truck. I guess I didn’t get to stretch properly fast enough yesterday because of the blackout. My ribs are hurting too. I wonder if I fell or something. Or maybe it’s dehydration or something. I don’t know. Just know my whole body aches. It’s not super bad, but it’s not fun.
Originally I had planned to exercise again today, but I suppose I better take a break. It’s still very hot, although not the record breaking highs like yesterday.
My memories of yesterday are fragmented. It’s all a bit of a blur. I am feeling tired, sad and hurting. Tra la.
Thank you everyone for all the support. I appreciate that you care about me.

I am not feeling great. My whole body aches. I sneezed a couple of times and it hurt my ribs. I feel like I’ve been run over by a truck.
And then there’s the mental anguish of having more blackouts and what to expect.
Did I mention my MP3 player disappeared yesterday after I exercised? Apparently when I was blacked out I moved boxes around and stuff. I was getting in a panic over my missing MP3 player because without that my exercising would be severely hindered. Turned out I had thrown it in the trash can, I think? Weird.
i worry about what I might do when I black out. I seem to either go into some kind of catatonic state, or in some kind of autopilot state where I actually do things. Like opening the balcony door. What if I had walked on the balcony and fallen over the railing?
Or what if it happens when i get a grocery delivery. I got one today. mostly for banana. I ate my last bananas yesterday, and I figure since I apparently need potassium I better oder some new ones, even though my origina plan asn’t to get another order until the end of next week. But I wanted those bananas, and I can always use more Pepsi for my stock.
It was a little nervewracking sitting there watching the delivery van approach on the tracker, and worrying what if I black out now? Would I let him in, would I get the order or miss it?
Well, it went fine. This time. Hopefully there will be a month or two till the next blackout… and then it’s almost September and maybe the neuro clinic can help me.
I’m just depressed and hurting now. And it’s so hot. Not quite as hot as the last couple of record breaking days. But plenty hot enough.
Okay, in the spirit of total disclosure, I got pizza and cake today. Self mediating. I figure it’s not too bad if I get that in the weekend, then work hard during the week. I might not be able to get super skinny then, but maybe I’ll do better mentally. Keep my metabolism going. I don’t know. But I did today, so that’s that. Blueberry pie and pizza, doesn’t take the physical pain away but at least it give some pleasure. And some banana for the potassium. And iced Pepsi.
Alright I’ll shut up now. I am struggling. But I fight to lve another day, one day a day.
Thank you all for the support.
