Good goat times today. Good to be back. Good goats. Everyone seems to be doing okay. I kept hoping I would find grandma standing in her corner, somehow. Defying logic. But it’s comforting to be back with the others.

Milo’s got his favourite spot back.
I am off to the bedland now. I actually have something I need to tell you guys. I’ve been keeping a secret… but this one is a nice one. I’ll tell you tomorrow.
Always end on a cliffhanger, says Milo.

So, about that secret…
Some of you guessed we might have a new goat. Well, not quite.
We have three.
Yes, three new residents in the goat house.
They actually arrived a few days before Mio passed. I just… didn’t have the capacity to talk about them. You know? I didn’t have the mental bandwidth. The sadness of Mio’s impending passing was just to overpowering, there wasn’t room for the happiness of new goat friends. So I didn’t talk about. I hope you understand.
On the day Mio passed I said that afterwards I went out and spent time with Mia and the littles. Well, those littles included these 3 ones. I haven’t had a chance to properly talk to staff about it, so I don’t know their names yet. But from what Alice told me beforehand, I believe the two bigger ladies are siblings of Milo and Sky. They were living at another playground, but that place is phasing out the animal part of their playground. So we have taken them in. And one of the girls was pregnant. A tiny, little baby boy. I think he can’t have been much more than a week old in this photo, which is from last week. So little and so cute. And so full of baby-goat energy. Even when you’re desperately sad it’s still impossible not to smile at a baby goat bouncing around.
After Mio had passed I spent a good deal of time sitting with the baby boy in my lap. One old life leaves and another young one enters the world. Like a rolling thunder chasing the wind…
Obviously they are not replacements for Mio. You couldn’t just replace Mio. And even if you add all 3 up I don’t think they’d outweigh grandma…
But it will certainly be something to help steer the mind in positive directions.
And what a circus it will be when spring comes and I take them out of the pen. One big princess Mia and 5 little dwarves. That’s going to be a sight.

Here is Milo and Sky on the left and the newbies on the right. The new girls have sort of white stripes down the sides of their face, that’s the main way I have of telling them apart. Once they start moving around… it’s like that game where the hustler puts a ball under one cup and then starts switching all the cups around. It’s just one big blur of goats.

Hey, remember when I had soup? that was awesome.
Anyway, yesterday I managed to start exercising again. It’s been almost a coouple of months I think. Not fun getting started again, but I know I just have to get back into the routine. It’s like starting from scratch, but it’ll get easier. And there is a part of me that loves exercising. Riding that bike with an audiobook and music, getting into the groove. If my legs weren’t toast i’d get up and have another session right now. But I gotta pace myself at first. But hopefully this is the first step in getting back to a better shape. Chasing all those goats around will probably help too.

This is the before picture. In a few months I’ll be smaller and the baby will be bigger.
Probably.

It’s been a rollercoaster couple of days. It’s been lovely introducing you all to the new goats. Sharing the happiness. While I’m still holding on to a great sadness. It’s a weird thing to have the two counterparts sharing the same mental space.
It would be a lie to say I’m feeling great. But I’ll try to focus on the happy things and the future.
For now, I’m going to focus my face in a pillow and sleep for a long time. Cheers.

Well, just got some huge news. My brother was called to hospital this morning. They have a kidney for him. I didn’t even think he was on the list yet, there’s been a lot of problems with the dialysis systems and infections and stuff. But it’s been determined that he’s a match for the kidney and as I understand it he will be going into surgery in a few of hours. I gather it will all take a while, I’m not sure I’ll get more news today. But that is certainly a great surprise. I hope you’ll all send him positive thoughts. Hopefully the surgery will go as planned and the kidney will be functional and not rejected and all that. He’s been through so much with this, it would be wonderful if things got easier now. All my fingers are crossed.

A little update on my brother. I don’t know a lot, but it sounds like surgery went according to plan. He’s in recovery and since it’s late night now I won’t know more until tomorrow. But so far so good. Thank you for all the good thoughts.

Another little update on my brother. There was some concern that there might be some niternal bleeding, so they kept him in recovery longer than anticipated. But it seems that’s no longer a concern. And his liver numbers (which I believe is the correct medical term, and I AM after all a fully licensed medical doctor, and a fellow human who is not a bot even though I keep failing your captchas) seem to be improving. Which hopefully is a sign that the new kidney is already starting to work. We can hope. But so far so good. He should be in the hospital for about a week, if all keeps going well. Again, thank you all for the kindnesses.

Hey, Milo. This is the platform where I usually give Mia a serving of pumpkin seeds. Used to be too high for the littles, but Milo got up to check for leftovers.

Okay, I am shutting it down for today. I am quite spent. There has been so much going on. My dad and my brother’s health, Mio’s passing, the new goats. I exercised for the second time, and while it feels good I also feel sore now. Mind and body. Like I’m Wile E Coyote and I just ran into fake tunnel that the road runner painted on a cliffside. Meep Meep. Hope everyone out there is doing well. Love you like a pot of soup on Saturday.

I am off to have soup with the folks. This was planned to be a family dinner, but of course Peter will not be able to make it now. So it will just be me and my parents. We’ll just have to have soup again when he gets out of the hospital. The more soup the better, that’s what I say. See you all later.

Back home from my parents’ place. With a belly, and the fridge, full of soup. It would have been nice if my brother could have been there, but on second thought it is much nicer that he is in the hospital with a new kidney. Soup is fairly easy to come by, kidneys not so much. Everything still going according to plan, let’s hope it stays that way.

Found a great Danish podcast about dubbing. Normally I am against dubbing. But I do have a lot of great memories of cartoons and puppet shows with Danish voices. Since there’s a fairly limited pool of Danish voice actors, especially back then, you kinda have to imagine if all your childhood cartoon memories had those few voices. Those voices become REALLY powerful with nostalgia. Beautiful memories of fraggles and muppets and disney characters and Asterix and Obelix and on and on. Back when there was ONE tv channel and it didn’t start broadcasting until 2 pm. I wonder if kids today would even believe that. Today there’s 24/7 everythingallthetime
