Good goat times today. It was quite windy, but we got some sunshine too. Not too bad. And we got a surprise today. We had visitors. From America! Haha. It wasn’t any of you guys, was it? It was a man and a woman. I am so bad with human interaction that I didn’t even manage to get their names. It’s times like these that I wish I was better at humaning so I could have shown them a better time. But oh well. They came up to the fence and asked if I spoke English. When I said yes they asked if I was that guy with the Facebook page. Haha. Yes. So I introduced them to the goats. Pointed to A38 who was sitting and relaxing by the far fence. And Mia and Mio who were closer. Then the woman asked if it was okay to pet the goats. So I went over to them and got Mia and Mio to follow. “I kinda have to since we came all the way from the US” she said. I hope they didn’t come all the way to Denmark to see the goats, because then I’d feel even worse that I couldn’t be a better host. But they got to pet Mia and Mio. And I asked her if she wanted to give them some peanuts. Gave her a handful and she seemed to enjoy feeding the goats. Who enjoyed being fed. So it was pretty cool, even if it was a bit short. And I think this is the first time I’ve met someone from outside of Denmark who’s come to see our goats. I know we’ve had visitors that I’ve missed but who got to spend time with the goats without me.
Anyway, the lesson here is: Everyone is welcome to come visit the goats, just don’t expect me to be great. I barely function as a person, in person. But the goats are great.

I just got a text message saying that I won’t have to wait long now, my pizza is on teh way.
Which is great, because I am currently eating the pizza. I think there’s been a time loop. The next time you see this pizza it won’t be this pizza.

A38 chilling by the fence. She’s got her favourite spots that she seeks out and then just relaxes like a goat.

So, I’m currently watching the new episode of Twin Peaks. Halfway in. Some notes:
1) I’m definitely, definitely going to have horrible nightmares tonight. Hohhible hohhible nightmaresh.
2) What?
3) No really, what’s going on?
4) I can’t help wondering if I would know what’s going on if I had proper eyesight.
5)
6) Here’s to the atom bomb, may everyone find a way to get on.
Okay, back to watching.

Good goat times today. Sunnier and warmer than yesterday, but still a bit windy. Not a bad summer’s day, though. I had foot therapy in the morning and was up early and feeling a little crummy. But all the better to relax in the sun with the goats. Quiet and uneventful today. In fact it’s been extra quiet. I think the horses have gone on summer holiday. Didn’t see them yesterday or today. I walked by the separate pen to see if they were in there, but I couldn’t see them. It’s a big pen with trees and bushes though, maybe they were hiding in the back. But I remember I’d been told that the horses would go away for some of the summer, so I’m guessing that’s what’s happened. Haven’t been able to ask anyone. So I’m not sure for how long they’ll be gone. Probably a month or two. That’s too bad. It feels kinda empty without them. Literally, two little pufts of white goats sitting in the middle of the big, empty pasture when I got there (with A38 just on the other side of the fence, hiding out). I’ll miss having the horses around, it’s more fun with them to keep the goaties on their toes.
Maybe I should ask if we could get some giraffes. Now that we’re a tourist attraction.

If you’re wondering, no I still haven’t gotten the latest episode of Twin Peaks out of my head. It’s clogging up my head kinda like the last digestions of that pizza that came back into style.

No, I don’t know who ate all the ice cream. It must have been the Pizza Ghost. What? You thought the Pizza Ghost only ate pizza? That’s the kind of stereotypes that causes these harrowing ice cream accusatory incidents and frankly the Pizza Ghost and I are both offended and definitely not the same entity. So please stop investigating me.

Heading to bed early. See you all tomorrow. And don’t forget…. hmmm, can’t remember what I was going to say now. Probably wasn’t important. Somehing about pressing the button every 108 mintues or the world will end. Either that or, don’t forget to water the cabbage. Something like that, no biggie.

Good goat times today. Not so good weather, though. Cold and rainy. Welcome to summertime in Denmark! Oh well. At least the rain mostly died down when I got to the goats. So we could still have some time outside. I was the first there so I got to confirm my suspicion that the horses have gone on vacation, as it was all empty inside other than the goats. And Mousy the sleepy cat. Hopefully the weather will get better soon, but the goating is always good.

I managed to sit in front of the computer and contemplate going out to buy ice cream for so long that it’s now too late to get to the store in time. I am patenting this as my new diet. The “Think before you eat” diet. Just make sure to think for so long that the stores close.

I’m not gonna lie, Esther the Wonder Pig knowing the names of our three goat ladies makes me a little happy. Kinda like that time Bruce Campbell retweeted the photo of Mia on my back eating leaves.
Also, happy Canada Day to my Canadian friends.

So, yesterday I had my appointment with the doctor. To talk about getting me on antidepressants. And it went well, it went exactly as I had hoped really. We talked about how I was feeling and how things were going. And then she prescribed some medication for me. I had been worried she would have insisted on getting me evaluated by someone else, but that wasn’t necessary. Maybe because I’ve been through all that before. She couldn’t see in my journal why I’d stopped taking the antidepressants I was on 10 years ago. And I don’y really remember the reason either. I guess I just sort of did. But I remember they helped me back then. So here’s to hoping they’ll help me now too. Keep the darkness at bay. Stabilize my mood. That would be nice. The medication is also used against anxiety, so maybe it’ll help easy my social phobia a little as well. One can only hope. We’ll see. I have an appointment again in a couple of weeks to talk about how it’s going. I took it for the first time today and I’ve been feeling some tingling sensations (not as pleasant as it sounds) and nausea. I had to stop exercising halfway through because I started feeling bad. But I’m feeling okay right now. Wish I had ice cream, though.
So yeah. You can all expect me to be completely sane from now on. Just boring, middle-of-road, conformist regular human being with no craziness at all. That’s where I’m heading, for sure! Just your average, unremarkable Joe Person. Maybe I’ll stop visiting the goats and become a city stockbroker instead.
Disclaimer: I will work very hard to stay insane and will definitely keep being a scruffy looking goat herder. Just maybe with less haunted nights and less breaking down for no reason.
We’ll see.
By they way, I dreamt about snow in June last night. I sure hope my dreams will stay crazy.
Trying to be open and honest about it, because I’ve known for years I ought to get back on this. Several time in private conversations with some of you nice people you have suggested I look into antidepressants and I’ve replied that I used to be on them and probably ought to try to get back on them, but in my head I was thinking I probably wouldn’t. Because it wasn’t an easy thing, going to the doctor and asking for it. You know me. If I break a rib I don’t go to the doctor, I just wait it out until it’s healed. My head has been a little broken for a long time. I think asking for help is a good thing. I’m glad I took the step, finally.

I’m too stoned on antidepressants to rant about Trump. But I mean. You’ve seen the video. You’ve made up your mind. And if you think that video’s no big deal then I’m sure you’d think the same if a Muslim leader posted a similar video of himself beating up someone in a Trump mask. For satire. And stuff.
Okay, a little rant. Anyway, the left and right side of my face are currently discussing how to make my face great again.

Heading off to bed. Still feeling a bit crummy. Physically. Wondering if I should stay home tomorrow. I’m a little worried that I’ll take my meds and head off and then when I’m all the way at the goat place I’ll get queasy and tired and fall over and be abducted by a gang. Maybe a couple of days off while adjusting to the new meds would be a good idea. On the other hand goats. So probably goats. Anyway, see you all tomorrow. *click*

End of Facebook. Go go goat photos.

That’s all for this week, see you in the next one.
