Distress Signal

The Danish actress from Mr Robot liked my tweet to her. This is official notification that you’re all invited to the wedding.

Good goat times today. A beautiful, sunny day. With temperatures just that notch above freezing that makes it all more bearable. Even the mud semeed nicer today. It was still muddy, but there wasn’t much water in it. It was more like dry mud than like the swamp we’ve been having. That’s how you drain a swamp! (Sorry, if I’ve been too political. But asking people not to post about Trump around the inauguration is kind of like asking people not to talk about the Super bowl around Super Bowl Day. Is Super Bowl Day a thing? I don’t know anything about Super Bowl ball. Anyway, I’ve only lost one friend over it so far so we’re coo. Honestly, I can barely keep up with Facebook anymore so maybe I should just start posting really offensive stuff until everyone has unfriended me. Hey, it worked in real life!).
I was the first to arrive, so I took the goats out myself. Went smoother than it’s gone before, mainly because I hooked Mia up on Mio’s leash and then had A38 on her own. So I more or less had them all under control as I took them around the building and out to the pasture. Got Mia to get up on the little cross beam again. She could be a tightrope walker, I think.
Got news about the horse situation as well, but I’ll write about that when I’m done self medicating with pizza.

Oh yeah, I also managed to knock my leg against the fence. It was one of those direct hits to the muscle that don’t hurt that bad in the moment. But you know tomorrow it’s going to be bad. So I got that to look forward to.

The Last Jedi?
That’s… okay. I guess.
In related news, I started listening to Carrie Fisher’s new book today. Narrated by herself Only shortly into it but she’s already made me laugh a couple of times. Sigh.

Not only is The Last Jedi the title of the new Star Wars movie, it’s also the name of one of the 20 old Marvel stories that were translated for the Danish Star Wars magazine. I remember reading it as a kid and actually being quite moved by it. It might have been the first Star Wars story to ever sort of emotionally touch me like that. As ridiculed as the old Marvel comics are today, they were my gateway into an expanded universe.

Also, a RIP to Gorden Kaye. I watched a lot of ‘Allo ‘Allo as a kid. It was delighfully naughty for something we all watched as a family. Back when there was one TV in the house and 3 channels to pick from.

Oh hey yeah, I was supposed to tell you about the horses. I actually started writing this yesterday evening but then I collapsed in my comfy chair, with aching leg and sadness over the decline of humanity and the fact that I had eaten the last of the pizza and I spent the rest of the evening and all of the night having amazing dreams. But never let it be said that I leave you hanging.
*clicks ‘Post’*
Oh wait, the horses. I talked to Ophelia as I left yesterday. She was out with the new horse. And it is a new horse, yes. It’s called Black Beauty. ‘Surprise, surprise’ as Ophelia said. Not the most of original name. But it fits. And she seems very sweet. When I gave her carrots the other day she didn’t get too eager or pushy. Seems quite easy going, unlike someone else I can think of…
Yes, Mulle has left us unfortunately. Apparently the older horses were getting a little tired of her (and I think the goats agreed). She was kinda hugh-strung and apparently she’d been having some breathing problems too. So she’s moved to another place that’s a little better suited to her needs. I’m not sure if we’ll get to see her again, but I wouldn’t count on it. It’s too bad, because I really like her. She was a lot of fun. She had a goaty personality, as I liked to say. Even though I don’t feed the horses very often, Mulle would still always come over to see if I had something for her. Much to the terror of the goats. It was fun knowing her, I hope she has a good life ahead. Black Beauty seems like her complete opposite. Other than the fact that they both have a white stripe down the face. Ophelia said that a couple of the other horses may also be leaving later in the year, and that they’re looking into getting one or more new horses, some that would be a little more kid friendly. I hope Sille doesn’t leave. Even though I’m not super close with her, I’ve known her for many, many years since she used to live at the old playground before coming here.
We’ll see what the future brings. I think Mia and Mio are happy with the change. They were terrified of Mulle. And they did have some close encounters too where Mulle acted out a bit, so maybe it’s better for their safety too. They have a healthy respect for the other horses, but seem to co-exist better with them.

Got a message from someone who said they got goats because of my page. That made me rather happy. Spreading some good. Also said her boyfriend lives in Denmark, but I don’t think that had anything to do with me. Although I know I make Danish guys look hot AF. Watching me waddle around in 17 layers of clothes with mittens on… honestly, I don’t know how anyone could resist me. The only reason I keep refusing to appear on a Danish version of The Bachelor is that I know I’d crash their system with the millions of applications they’d get to be on my season. It would definitely be the most watched season of all time. Period.

Thank you, Facebookerinos, for making me feel good about myself today. You all get a rose. And one for your goats, if you have any. While the political goings on today have made me want to pour Rogaine on my head so I could quickly grow some hair to tear back out, at least you show me the kindness that I desperately need to believe still exists in this world. I’m going to go dreamwalk into the great, wide crazy. If you need to borrow some elderberry soup from my freezer just remember: The pincode to my alarm system is 00007. If you get the reference, you get a cookie. And some elderberry soup.

Here’s my theory about SW8:
The Last Jedi refers to Luke’s students. We’ll get the backstory of his academy. And at some point he’ll make a speech where he says to them “You are the last jedi… and the first”. And then Kylo Ren yada yada Yoda.
Of course I could be totally wrong. It’s bound to happen SOME day.

Trying to find my way back to happier postings.
I’m just finding it impossible not to be sad and angry about what’s happening. And powerless. Also, we’re supposed to ‘tell it like it is’, right? Or are we supposed to shut up and move on? I’m getting mixed signals.
I don’t think everyone who voted for Trump is a bad person. But if you’re okay with what they’re doing right now then I guess I just don’t understand why you’d want to be friends with someone like me. I feel like the very core of my essence is in complete opposition to everyhing that Donald Trump stands for. I mean can you even for a second imagine Donald sitting in the dirt playing with goats? Do you think he’d hesitate for a second before sending thousands of goats straight to the slaughterhouse if he needed their land for a pipeline or a wall? They just signed away basic health care for kids and veterans, you think they’d give two s**ts about the wellfare of animals, or mentally/physically challenged people like me?
I know it doesn’t matter. Everyone has picked their own truth already. I will try to find my way back to my own truth, a happy one. i’d like that to be the core of my essence. Or the essence of my core. I’m just saying. I’m an (overly) emotional and dramatic person at times and I have so many feelings about all this right now. Sometimes they’ll spill over. So feel free to unfriend or unfollow me if you can’t stand that. You can always follow Mia’s page for animal happiness. There will be no politics on there at least.
Thank you for putting up with me. And also thank you to those of my friends who are posting the hard facts about what’s going on. I’m just emotionally rambling, I’m thankful for everyone who is dealing more rationally and factually with things. Even though I’d also like Facebook to go back to a happy place with only animals and kids and fun and memes. But I don’t want to close my eye to what’s going on.
Bla bla bla, I’ll post a picture of A38 in a minute to make up for this a little.

Here’s Black Beauty. I’ve taken a bit of a shine to her already. Seeing the other horses sort of try to put her in her place. I always have a soft spot for the underdog. Visavis Kamel and A38.

My favourite talkshow host. I hope it will be possible to download this somewhere. I don’t even have a radio. I don’t even know how that sirius thing works. I guess I’ll have to look into it.

Here’s my old friend Sille. I’m not completely sure that she’s the same horse who was at the old playground when I started going there some 12-13 years ago. But she might be. Certainly she was there some 8-9 years ago. So I used to take her out when I did weekend feedings at the old place before I got too blind for that.

Look what I got! Thank you so much Deborah Ladd! It’s a goat calendar, with lots of cutouts of my own goat pals (and some other surprises) inserted. It’s absolutely wonderful. This video is just a quick lookthrough. It really is full of marvelous memories. I really am lucky to have had such wonderful goats in my life, even with the sadness of losing too many of them as well. And lucky to have such friends!

    What a pretty addition Black Beauty is to the playground! Hope everyone learns to get along. We still have some rumbles between our boys and they’ve known each other for almost 12 years now. Snickers sometimes can’t get along with anyone!

    It has been cloudy here. So cloudy, that I got pretty excited when I saw the sun for about 15 minutes. Even the goats were out sunning briefly.

    We saw about a dozen white swans on a pond today. The temps are just above freezing so most of the ice is gone from the rivers and ponds.

    We have still been seeing a number of bald eagles all around our area. They are spread out because of the open water on the river. Otherwise, they all congregate at the dam where the water is open and they can fish.

    We had 3 eagles in one of the trees outside our bedroom window last week. No matter how many times I see eagles, it is still a thrill!

  2. Plume Says:

    Black Beauty is a real sweetheart. And she already seems to be getting along better with the big horses. If only it went that fast for dear A38, but she’s still a little scared of the big goats. I haven’t seen any eagles around here. Bald or otherwise. Of course spotting eagles is probably hard when you can’t see more than an arm’s length ahead, but I’ll keep trying!
