King Of Comedy
Good goat times today. A beautiful, sunny day. But bitingly cold. Down to almost -10C/14F. Brr.
Easier to get around today, though. I still had to do some shifting between walkways and bicycle paths. But a lot of places where cleared to some degree. Lots more people out and about. Felt like a more normal winter’s snow day as opposed to the snowpocalypse of last week. Public transport still not running though. But Jeanette’s car was running again! Good to see her. As I had suspected, she hadn’t been able to come to work last week. She lives a bit out in the country. She would have probably ended up sleeping in her car like so many others if she’d gone out.
Godo to have her back. And the goats were all fine. Coping with the snow. Sky seemed a bit upset though. She was bleating a whole lot. And standing in the sunshine staring. Can’t blame her for that. Nicer in the sun. I was wondering if she’d spotted a predator or something, but I think when she’s staring at possible danger she’s usually quiet. She may have been complaining about how cold it was, or that there was still snow. Treats and cuddles helped some, at least.

Luna enjoying some fresh pine. Not only was Jeanette back, but she brought pine. She had to be a little careful ‘borrowing’ it from the christmas tree farm, because of the risk of footprints in the snow. Haha.

Obligatory snow pic. Treefingers stretching sunwards. I did a little snowboarding without board today, or skiing without skiis. I decided not to cross in the middle of the road as I usually do, walked over the bridge instead. But the stairs leading down from the bridge are pretty steep. And they were covered by snow. I couldn’t tell if it was soft loose snow or hard icy snow. So I grabbed the rail next to the stairs before stepping down. That turned out to be a good idea, because it was hard and icy snow and I could not keep my balance and started sliding down. Just imagine me sliding down the ice slope, hanging on to the rails for dear life.
On my way home I went up the stairs. This time I grabeed ahold of the rail and pulled myself up the ice slope bit by bit. Probably looked like a fatter bambi, but hey I made it up and down in one piece.

Sky complaining about the snow. She was super vocal today. The weather should warm up a little in a day or two, here’s to hoping.

For those that don’t follow the goat page, here’s some video from Thursday. when I ventured out in the snowcapolypso. Hear me grunt as I try to get the sliding door open. Exciting stuff!

Oh man, I’m knackered. I slept for about 12 hours. All that trekking out in the cold and snow has worn me down.
Had a wonderful sleep though. I slept for the normal amount first, like 7-8 hours. Got up briefly. Could barely move without hurting. Got back in bed. Slept more. And got wonderful lucid dreams. It’s been so long since I had lucid dreams last, at least that I can remember. It fits well with my experience. I used to lucid dream a lot, back when I slept more. I’d sleep for 13-14 hours ione night, then barely sleep the next night. I was a weird rythm, and probably not healthy. Might have contributed to my blackouts? I don’t know that was a theory I had at one point. They seemed to stop around the time I changed my sleep schedule… i have been sleeping on a regular schedule for al ong time. And that’s probably better for me. But I miss those lucid dreams. I found they would typically come late in the sleep stage. When you’ve slept enough but you’re still sleeping. I would be drifting in and out of sleep and the dreams became more and more real.
And that’s what happened today too. When I went back to sleep I started drifting in and out of sleep, and in and out of dreams. The downside to that is that the dreams are mostly short. When you’re in a lucid dream you just want it to go on forever, you almost start to panic when you feel the real world dragging you out of the dream.
I dreamt I was getting a haircut. And I got out of the hairdresser salon. And I realised.. I still have long hair. How can that be when I just got a hair cut? And it dawned on me, oh I’m still in the dream. This happened several times in the dreams, something happened that would make me realise I was still in a dream. It’s one of the most magical feelings I have ever had. When you look around and you know.. THIS ISN’T REAL. It’s such a mindbender. Because the brain is such a powerful computer. It can make the simulation seem perfect. You look around and you can’t tell that you’re not in the real world. But you know you’re just in your head. I love that feeling.
I flew. Several times. I’d realise I was still dreaming and I’d go ‘I want to fly again’. And I’d lean over and let myself fall backwards…and not hit the ground. And fly. I flew over a large body of water and there was the statue of liberty, almost submerged completely in the water. It felt so good, flying around, free of worry and doubt and anxiety, free of reality.
I am actually feeling tired now. That has always been my experience too. Sleeping a lot doesn’t neceessarily make you les tired. I felt less tired when I woke the first time, after the regular amount of sleeping. That would have been the time to get up, feeling refreshed. But when you sleep more and more you wreck your sleep rythm I guess. Now I just feel like sleping even more. Maybe I could have some more beautiful dreams..

Not sure if it was the cold or the heat, but Sky sure had a lot to say yesterday.

Succesfully got pizza delivered today. For the first time this year. So that’s good. It’s too darn cold, though. I got my heating going, and I still have to turn my space heater on from time to time. I usuakky keep the heater going as a fan to provice background noise because there is no noise insulation in this building and I can constantly hear neighbours. But now it’s so cold I need it for the heat too.
At least the busses are starting to go out again. They aren’t running normally yet, but they’ve been shuttered for what almost a week? People are not happy with how the municipiality handled this snowstorm. It’s been a bit of a sh..snowshow.
I am still tired and sore and a little stuffy and snotty, but not quite enough that it feels like a cold, just like something is brewing. Maybe I’m just not over that thing I had weeks ago. I’m feeling okayish, just tired and worn and cold. I hope there will be good dreams tonight.

It’s so cold you can see Bella’s breath.
That’s Bella, right? I’m pretty sure. She better not start growing a beard or I’ll never be able to tell who’s who. If I can see both of them in the shot then I can tell who’s who, but when I have a picture or video with just one, then i’ll start questioning myself.

Not feeling super great. I had planned to see the goats today, but I didn’t make it out. I love sleeping and dreaming, but I think when I sleep too long it sometimes makes me feel sad too, feeds the depression. And I’m still tired and sore and the thought of heading back out int hte freezing and snow was just.. too much. I have slept too much instead. My head hurts. Bleh. But knowing Jeanette is back at work and is there to take care of the goats helps.
One of those days you just wanna tear out of the calendar and dump in the trash, I wish it was spring already.
But anyhoo. Hope you’re all doing well!

Think goat thoughts.
Here’s a goat butt parade. Not sure if it’s just a trick of the angle, but Luna looks tiny next to Bella. Bella is probably the biggest of the three by now.

One from the blooper reel. I was setting up the camera, and Bella saw the chance to get up on the chair and reach some higher ground on the tree. When I went to get her off the chair so I could sit, it didn’t go so well. She slipped and fell. I’m such a big meanie! Don’t worry, she was fine, and guilted me out of a healthy dose of treats.

I am currently downloading all the old episodes of Saturday Night Live. Started watching Season 14 Episode 10. First episode of 1989, Mike Meyer’s first episode. Hosted by John Malkovich. Trippy. I think I’m just going to spend this year watching old snl episodes, that’s my plan.
In other news, hat’s off to the queen. Today’s the big day. Hail to the new king, I hope all the peasants get a nice distraction from the dystopian reality we live in.
It’s almost not freezing today, but I think it will be again soon. I think there may be more snow coming next week, although nothing near what we got in the last storm.
Anyway, LIVE FROM AARHUS IT’S SUNDAY AFTERNOON
