Normality
May 31st, 2026Good goat times today. A gorgeous day. Lots of sunshine and upwards of 24C/75F. That’s high summer for Denmark. Feels good! Lots of lazing about. It’s a holiday today, so no Jeanette. And only a few visitors who just pretty much walked by. So it was just me relaxing in the sun with the goats. No complaints.
Well, okay maybe one. It was frustrating how the big girls kept interupting when I wanted to sit with Sky. Only got bits and pieces alone with her. I need to ask Jeanette if we can do something about the gate between the two pens. Bella can knock it open easily even if I close the hatch. I actually brought the wire from one of my old computer mouses, thinking I would use it to tie the gate togethe. But it snapped immediately. Oh well. Maybe I’ll try bringing some stronger rope. Or maybe we can get something done about it. There used to be two hatches on the gate and if you closed both then they couldn’t open the gate. I don’t know what happened to the second hatch. Half of it is gone so it no longer locks.
But lots of sweet sitting around in the sun.
I think the weather is about to cool down again, so better enjoy it while it lasts. But summer is just around the corner now. Hopefully it will be a good one.
I am very tired now and I must soup.

Got an hour fifty on the bike today. So I got that going for me.
Keeping at it. Working hard. It’s another hot day, helping the burn. It’s tough, but it feels good. Maybe I’m overthinking it, but maybe one of the things that makes it feel good is the simplicity. It’s a simple mechaninc. You get on the bike. You sweat it out. It’s not easy, but it’s not complicated. The pain is easy to understand and deal with. You work hard, you burn calories. If it’s too much, you can stop. You feel progress. You have control. In real life, nothing is simple, I have no control, I can’t stop the pain, I don’t feel progress.
Or maybe I’m just on an exercise high.
I also managed to call the dentist finally. Took two minutes, got an appointment at a time I wanted. Yet another instance of going around and worrying about things way too much. I just hate calling places. I wish their booking platform worked. It’s probably a problem on my end, my computer is old and outdated and I have made weird changes, mostly for accessibility and privacy reasons.
But anyhoot. Here we are. Now I can relax for the rest of the day.

Speaking of my old diaryland, remember burning CDs? After mixtapes, before streaming. Or whatever kids do these days. I had a CD burner and I made like coer art and printed it and you’re right, I WAS very cool and with it.
This was a good closer

Got an hour forty on the bike today. So I got that going for me. Working hard. Trying to make a push to get close to the target, so I can relax a little again. But for now, working hard. I like the hard work, it feels good. Not so fond of the restrictive diet. I miss cheese. And making fries in that fancy oven that came with my apartment. I haven’t used it in months. But I’ll get back to there.
Oh yeah and I’m off the Pepsi again. Only had it that one time with soup. One bottle in almost 3 weeks, that’s pretty good.
It’s been almost a month since I had a blackout. Which makes me worry that one is coming, because they have usually come about one a month. Wouldn’t it be funny if I didnt have any now, what would they say at the neuro appotinment in September? Well, we would probably still want to try to find out what is/was causing them.
Well, we’ll worry about that when something else happens.
All work and no play makes Lasse a goat boy.

Good goat times today. A beautiful day with lots of sunshine, temperatures sneaking up around 20C/68F. Lovely and summery, goats sitting around and panting in the sun. Feels good.
I talked to Jeanette about fixing the gate between the pens, so we can close it and Bella can’t huff and puff on it to blow it open. She said they were going try to do something about it, hopefully next week. So that would be nice. She suggested maybe I could take some of the string we have around our hay bales, use that to tie the gate doors together. I tried that, and it worked okay. Much to Bella’s frustration she wasn’t able to break the gate open. Must have been a little confusing since she’s been used to just knocking her head on it and it would spring open.
It’s not very handy though, having to tie string around and through the gate, I hope they can get some kind of lock put on it.
But I got good time with everyone, sitting and enjoying the weather. Had Luna rolled over on her side for a bit so I could rub that goat tummy. Irresistible.
And we had lots of visitors. Kids in the pen saying hi to the goats. There was a lady with some kids and she was quite enthralled with how I was rubbing Sky’s hooves when they came in. She’d never seen a goat get a foot message before! I told her how much the goats love it. an then I had to show off a little of course. I released the hoof I was rubbing and then Sky put it down and then put the other hoof up and poked me until I started rubbing that done. And the lady was all “aww, it’s asking for more”. Haha. Yeah, some people don’t know how affectionate and loving and sweet and funny goats can be. It’s always nice when you can show that off. it sounded like she had some stories to tell others now.
There was a couple of cries of “it’s pooping” at times too, from kids. Not the lady.
Today should have been my second appointment at the neuro clinic, but goat time is good for the brain so I’ll settle for that.
And now, soup time.

Oh Bella. When she couldn’t break through the gate as she has been used to easily doing, she sat down in front of it. “This thing is broken, and where is my key?!”

Put some hay out in a box and came back a little later to find that Sky had decided to camp out by it.

Got an hour and a half on the bike today. So I got that going for me.
And I got news from the neuro clinic. Surprisingly, since they told me that they would not be sending out results from the EEG. But they did.
And not for an alarming reason. The good?/bad? news is that the EEG was “described normal” is the phrasing they used. So, apparently my brain function is normal? That seems unlikely, I should ask for a second opinion!
But seriously. The letter says that it doesn’t rule out epilepsy and they still want to see me for an appointment in the “epilepsy clinic”. Now I am not completely sure if that is referring to the appointment I already have, the one that was supposed to be yesterday but was moved to September. That appointment is in the neurophysiological clinic (I think it was called), I’m not sure if that is actually the same as the epilepsy clinic. In any case I guess I better give them a call just to make sure. If they want to see me sooner or if I have to wait for September or whatever.
But anyway, that answer was a no answer really. No explanation for my blackouts, my passing out, memory loss etc.
But hey. Look at me with my normal brain function. Aren’t I special?
We’ll have to see what it do.
Also, the neighbour who is drilling and sawing? Or something. Doing that from 9 o’clock on a Friday, boo you. It sounds like they’re renovating something. And i feel like at my old apartment there was also often these kind of renovation noises during wekeneds. Are Friday+weekend just the time to do that stuff? Is it a private neighbour doing stuff in his own place or is it the housing association doing stuff? I don’t know. I just am real tired of the noise.
Alright. Time to relax a bit.

For the premium subscribers, a sneak peak of an upcoming video. Sky camping out at the hay box. And we have visitors! See how calm and and at easy Sky is as the kids pet her. Perfect petting goat. The big girls are more hit and miss. Sometimes Bella will run away from kids, and Luna can get grumpy if there’s too much fuss. But Sky is just great. She learned from the best, after all.

Got an hour fifty on the bike today. So I got that going for me. Still working hard. It wasn’t easy today. Had a rough morning. Not enough sleep, and strong depression. To the point of “what’s the point”. But I managed to drag myself to the bike. Instead of surrendering and ordering cake and pizza. Go me.
I got a Pepsi delivery minus pepsi too. Now that the tomatoes are getting good, I’m getting more of those. Going to have me a nice plate of cucumber and tomato tonight.
Yesterday I got some flourballs delivered too. I had half of my freezer box full of flourball packs, but the delivery service where I get the floourballs had an offer for free delivery. And I’m still worried that the flourballs are seasonal, and summer starts in Denmark on Monday… so I just wanted another batch to fill up my freezer.
The delivery guy came and gave me two big bags and I thought they seemed big for four packs of flourballs, but I didn’t think too much about until I got back inside and looked closer. And found my four packs of flourballs, and two big packs of toilet paper. Ooh kay. I thought I’d scored me some free toilet paper there. Until a minute later when my doorbell ran again. It was the delivery guy of course. I guess he was delivering to two people and accidentally gave me both.
But now my freezer is full to the brim with flourballs, so that should keep me going for a while.
I’m sorry I don’t have more exciting updates. Most of it is goats or exercise. But hey, once in a while I pass out and get sent to the ER, so keep reading you never know if you might get lucky!

I tell you what. That was a good plate of tomatoes. I stopped eating tomatoes pretty much years ago because I was worried about them being to acidic for my teeth. But now that I’m going to the dentist again, maybe it’s okay to eat tomatoes. Because I love a good salty tomato. Mmm. Going to have to find an excuse to tell the goats for why they aren’t getting any maters… aliens kidnapped them!
Better buy more next time!

Yum. Had myself another plate of tomatoes. They are good! I think I will go on a tomato diet for a while. When I had my biggest weight loss journey a lot of it was based on a diet of tomato and cucumber. It was a little irresponsible at the time, because I wasn’t doing anything to get the protein I need. But I know about that now. So I can get the protein, and then lots of tasty maters.
My weight loss has kind of stalled the last week and a half, despite orking hard on the bike. I know you shouldn’t really judge over such a short time span, but I have been used to losing weight easily when I work hard and mind my diet. So it has me a little frustrated. I wonder if quitting Pepsi has something to do with it. I believe caffeine helps burn fat. So I am considering going back to Pepsi, at least while I do the tomato diet. I’ll make a decision about that in a couple of days I think.
My weight is okay right now. I’m so much lighter than in old days. But I’d still like to lose a bit more. To have more of a buffer, before easing back into more regular eating.
Anyway. I am happy to have tasty tomatoes again. They are a little more expensive than the ones I used to get, because these are ecological ones. But I’m willing to spend some money on this. Lots of tomatoes for me the coming days. I wonder if the goats will be able to smell it on my breath, like I smell pine on theirs. Haha.
Summer starts tomorrow. Although the weather forecast isn’t too sparkling right now. But hopefully we’ll get there again.
