Full Of It
Good goat times today. Nice day out with the furs and the feathers. And Jeanette with some fresh pine trimmings. Kept dry, which was nice. Pretty cold though. And the forecast ahead shows temperatures below freezing to come, so it may technically be spring, but we’re not really feeling it much yet. Well, I’m feeling the light. The mornings are a lot lighter, and that does help. Hope we’ll get some shunshine shoon. The goats were happy with their pine and treats. I brought some pumpkin seeds for them for the first time in a long while. The kids have only tried them once before, that time I put them out on the black tub. But it was too dirty and they didn’t really want much of them. Today I put them out on one of the platforms out in the pen. They sure wanted them today. Unfortunately doing it up on the high platform proved problematic too, because Sky was all “MINE MINE MINE” and pushed Bella and Luna off the platform several times. They were fine, but I don’t really like the risk of them getting hurt when they fall of the platform. So we probably won’t be doing it up there again either. Maybe spreading them out on the pavement tiles will work, I guess I can try that some time. I do enjoy watching the goaties slurp up all the pumpkin seeds. It’s an amusing feast.
I’m going to have myself an amusing soup feast now.

At one point today I realised I couldn’t see Luna anywhere. Then I spotted her. She’d walked down through the pen to the platform by herself. She was cleaning up leftover pumpkin seeds. Without the risk of being pushed down by the big girls.

Good exercise time today. Got an hour and a half in on the bike, worked the arms too. Felt good. Things are trending the right way. Usually when I say that everything goes wrong, so let’s hope the universe is watching tv and not paying attention to me!
ADDED: I thought I’d lost my Facebook account there. It wouldn’t accept my password. Even though it’s a saved password in the browser. Wouldn’t work. I cleared my cookies. Tried to log in. Had to confirm it was me. Took a minute for the txt to come on my phone with the code. Logged in. Page said “something went wrong, we’re working on it”. Well looks like I’m in my account now. Looks like everything is normal. Maybe it was a glitch. That was kind of scary. Sometimes when I think of what would happen if I lost my fb account there’s a part of me that thinks, well just eff it then. Walk away, imagine all the free time you’d get to do other things. But then I’d miss all you guys! And i’d miss goatposting. I hope things work now.

Imagine if I lost my facebook account, the amount of goat traffic on the internet would drop by at least eightyfirty percent! Sky dare not contemplate the ramifications.

I would walk 2-3 steps, and I would walk 1-2 more, just to be the man who walked 3-5 steps to get to the fridge.

Hi. It’s 4:40 am and I’m supposed to be sleeping. Apparently I am not sleeping. I am not feeling so good. Constipated. I don’t think I’ve had a proper bowel movement in a couple of days. Sorry for the tmi. Usually I have problems in the other direction, but now it all feels blocked. The only thing I can think of to cause it is some new painkillers I tried Monday, which is when it started I think. The codeine kind, which I can read has potential constipation as a side effect. But i’ve taken those once before without any problems I think, so I don’t know. Can’t think of anything else I’ve done differently really.
I don’t know. Righ now I am sitting at the computer and eating sugarfree bonbons. Because. Well if you’ve ever eaten a whole bag of sugarfree candy in one go, you know what kind of effects that has… So we’ll see how that goes. Pray for my toilet.
Sorry, I just wanted to write all this down so that if I die now you’ll all know I died from shirtting. Carry on.

I pooped! The sugarfree candy did it’s thing. Hooray, I was as happy as Keiko when a goat poops.
I hope my system will start functioning correctly again now. Thanks for the suggestions and sympathy. Wasn’t a fun night, but a relief to get unclogged.

For the premium subscribers, a little outtake. I was getting ready to give the pumpkin seeds to the goats when I noticed my camera was flashing the Low Battery sign. I didn’t want it to shut down in the middle of a pumpkin seed party, so I thought i’d just put it down and let it film nothing until it rain out of juice and I could replace the battery.
Well of course you can’t put a camera down without goats wanting to mess with it. Even though it wasn’t on a tripod, Bella still had to see if she could do something to it. No camera is safe with her around.
Been a stressful day with the tummy problems, barely any sleep and then browser problems to deal with. Would rather have been out goating. But it’s 4pm, I feel like going to bed already.

My stomach is returning to more or less normal, I think. Hooves crossed.
Boy, I sure could go for a tall frosty mug of not hearing anymore about politics for the rest of the year, though. That’d hit the spot.

Good goat times today. We got some sunshine, which was nice. But it was still really cold. Night temps below freezing I think. But at least it’s lighter. And speaking of segways, a chair is also lighter when no one is sitting on it. Luna learned that when she went underneath my chair and used it as a backscratcher, rubbing her back up against the underside of the chair. Which quickly toppled over and fell out of the house on the ground, spooking her in the process. Oh dear.
Sky got spooked too, by me. It was her own fault, though. She was trying to headbutt one of the kids, but my knee was in the way. So she headbutted my knee which made me burst out an OW which freaked her out and sent her running. Oh dear oh dear.
Other than that it was a nice time, with sweet visitors and sweet (mostly) goats.

I like that Bella bleat in the beginning. She’s often the first one who spots me and sends out the signal flares.

Okay, I think we need to sit down with Luna and have a little talk about when it is appropriate to touch someone’s butt in the workplace. The answer is always WAIT HEAR ME OUT the answer is always never.

I’m not doing so great. I think my stomach may be trouled again, not completely sure. Haven’t taken those painkillers again since Monday, so if there’s still a problem it wouldn’t be because of them. Was in a lot of pain Thursday, back still recovering. Been alternately sleeping too much and not enough. Was going to cook up a pot of soup earlier today, bt instead ended up napping for 5ish hours. Still feel very tired. Woried about my parents. Depressed, feeling very down right now. Eyesight super blurry. Feeling like a hopeles mess, tra la. Suppose I’ll try to make that soup. Just want to sleep, forever and a day.It’s too cold and the neighbours are noisy.
Sorry bout the Bitching & Moaning.

Snerkleberks. My stomach is definitely still not good. I am constipated again. Been going for a few days not being sure if things were working or not. But by now, they’re definitely not. Eating a bag of sugarfrees now to clear things out, like I did on Wednesday. But I know this isn’t a sustainable solution. If this keeps going I will have to go see the doctor. You know how I feel about going to see the doctor. Sigh.
It’s influencing my sleep which is influencing my eyesight which is influencing my depression and then there’s the back pain and the way the whole world is going. I just wish it would all go away.
I got an eye doc appointment in a few days. I have been feeling the last few months likke my eyesight has been deteriorating. I feel like the last many times I have been to see the eye doc I have said I felt like it had gotten a bit worse, but we’ve always measured it to be the same and stable. This time I really do feel like there has been changes, harder to read stuff on the computer. And not just because of the current problems, for a longer time. We’ll see what the doc says, if he can see any difference. Wonder if I’ll have to have a cataract surgery again at some point, but the thought of haing surgery on my one seeing eye is terrifying to me. But I’ll worry about that bridge when I jump off it.
I just wish things would settle down. I don’t need a great life, I just want a fairly straight line, without pain and panic even if it’s without great joy. The goats make me happy and I’m fine sitting at home doing my thing on my own, I don’t need a normal or joyous life, I just don’t want to be bothered.
bla dee blah blah. We’ll see what the eye doc says and how the stomach thing goes. I’ve been trying to think of what could be causing the constipation. I noticed the start on Monday when I tried those codeine painkillers, but I haven’t taken those since Monday so I can’t imagine they’re still borking my system. I have been eating less bread, maybe I haven’t been getting enough fiber. But I ate bread yesterday and it doesn’t seem to have sone any difference. Maybe I need MORE BREAD. I’m going to buy some stuff with more fiber, see if that makes a difference. I can’t think of any other changes to my diet. Maybe my back is so broken that it’s blocking my bowels. But then there’s a free lane when I take the sugarfrees…
Well I’ll stop my rambling. Enjoy your Sunday!

Here’s a little goat content, thanks for all the suggestions and sympathies again. And Luna says thanks for the hay.

As a person with disability I find it really sad seeing Trump mock disabled people, and the crowd cheering. I will never understand how people who proclaim to be christians can look at Trump and see someone exemplifying christian values. Even something as simple as the thing he does with maknig up mocking nicknames of opponents. Right there. How do you look at that and think that’s what Jesus would do. How do you teach your kids not to bully when the leader of your world does it. And that’s without getting into all the much much worse stuff. Something as simple as that.
But as the bible says, feel free to disregard my teachings if you have something to gain by it, probably. The same way people can be pro-life but for the death penality. The way you can preach “love thy neighbour” and also go “America first!”. You think there’s a geographical limit? Love thy neighbour, unless his house is so far away you can’t see it then screw that guy. Do unto others, unless you don’t like them then fuck ’em.
I completely understand why you’d for example want to help America before Ukraine. You just have to be honest about it. You just have to admit “we’re going to disregard the teaching of the bible and the word of god because we feel it is no longer applicable and relevant and up to date for the world as it is now and the current global situation”. You can’t demand to govern your country by the law of the bible and impose its values on everyone else, and then at the same time ignore those values when they’re inconvenient to you or your own situation and experience. You don’t get to demand people are sworn in on the bible if you’re going to ignore its lessons. Fkn smaritans. You know if you close your border you’re keeping out Jesus, right? He wasn’t born in America. And remember to tell your kids that santa isn’t coming, he hasn’t renewed his immigration papers in absolute ages.
Grr grumbleth, I need to shut up.
The mental leaps people are able to make are impressive. Don’t worry, I am sure I am a hypocrite in some ways too, I am after all only human. The onle species, and this is a fact, actively working to destroy the planet they’re living on.
One way I’m a hypocrite: I proclaim to not want to hear anymore about politics, yet I can’t stop yapping on about it. For shame.
Sorry if I alienate anyone with this stuff, I don’t mind being friends with people with differing opinions. As long as it’s understood that I’m right and everyone else is wrong, thanks. Raise your hand if you wish I’d go back to talking about my bowel movements.

Better get some more goat content back on top. For the premium subscribers, an early look at an upcoming video. Highlights from some goat time on the bench, and Bella’s desire to mess with the camera. Series of clips where she tries to go after it, and I have to call her back. Especially the second clip you can see her look over at the camera and the gears turning in her head and then she starts going for it. It’s funny, if there’s no camera on the tripod then it’s a lot less interesting to her. She’ll still mess with it if she gets near it. But it seems like if she sees the camera on the tripod then she just has to go mess with it. It’s partly hilarious and partly annoying because she messes up some nice shoots. Oh well, telling a goat what to do is like telling me to shut up, you might as well play the lottery.
