Still a tough time. Trying to get to a new normal, with Mia and Mio. Doing my best. Also tonight I’ve thrown up and my head is hurting something awful. So no writey. I’ll just copypaste a Facebook post about stuff that might be coming up:

Big things about to happen at the playground it seems. They aren’t happy with how things are going there either, feeling unsafe about the animals etc. So, they’re going to move the animals away for a while. Including the goats. In the place of the house that burnt they’re going to build something new. I’m not exactly clear on all the details, but it’s going to be something better and safer for the animals. It’s going to be more focused on them. That seems to be the hope at least. They’re kinda working on ideas, looking for grants etc. Still in the planning stage. But it looks like the goats will be moved away, and possibly very soon. What does that mean for me, and us? Well, I’m not sure yet. A lot depends on where they’re going and how that will be. I got a general idea that it’s not going to be super far away. It should be a place that I can still visit. But still, a lot is going to depend on how and where it will be. With my blindness and phobia, it will be difficult for me. It will help if it’s still a place I can walk to. If I need to take busses etc it will make it harder. Dealing with new people could be very difficult. And also I probably won’t have the same role at the new place. Right now I have my own keys and I’m almost the main goat caretaker, even though I don’t work there. At the new place I can’t expect that. I will probably have less access. So, there’s a possibility I’ll have to cut down a little on the goat time. I have already felt in recent years how my mental and physical capacity has lessened because of everything that’s happened in my life. I can’t stay as long as I used to, sometimes I have to skip days. If the new place is difficult for me I might not be able to go as often. I might have to cut down to one or two days a week. It’s hard to say yet. I’ll need to see where it is and how it goes.
The important thing is that they’re doing it for the good of the animals.
It’s a temporary move. I don’t know for sure how long it will last, but a boy who came to see the goats said he’d been told they were going to be gone for 6 months. And then come back to an improved playground, hopefully. I guess we’ll just have to see how everything goes. I’m glad that they see that things have to change. I was actually a little afraid that they would think about just getting rid of the goats alltogether. There have been previous discussions about not having goats at all. When the horses left etc. With only two goats left, that could have been a possible option. To just shut it down. I hope they can make it better. I hope it won’t be too difficult. I hope it will be for the better. Everything’s a little uncertain right now.
