Ball Rolling
Good goat times today. A lovely summer day. Overcast in the morning, but the sun got stronger and stronger. Temps rising upwards of 22C/71F which is hot for Denmark. Very enjoyable goating.
We got a new piece of furniture in the goat pen today. I will show you with pics later. Don’t get too excited, though. The goat demolition crew had it wrecked in half an hour. Jeanette came bringing in her trailer, and later she took most of it away in same trailer. Oh boy. Haha. Fun while it lasted, though.
Sweet visitors too. They spent more time with the feathers than with the furs, but it’s always nice to have little peoples in the pen.
And lots of fun and snacks with the goats. Luna managed to ditch he collar twice. But i got it back on her. Still no idea where that first collar she had every ended up. Maybe the fox ran off with it.
Now it’s about time for some soup.

Look, our new piece of furniture! We’re going to get so much joy out of that, for the next half our then we’ll break it! Yes, as I said in the post, it did not last long, Jeanette had to haul it out in pieces. But I’ll show you more later.

…and here we are an hour later. That was a nice bench we got to use for 20ish minutes. Thats it, Blla. You’re going on a diet.

…and that was what was left of the new bench by the end o the day. The rest went back on Jeanette’s trailer and carted off, so as to not be a danger to anyone. And also Bella totally isn’t to blame according to 100% of the goats surveyd for this post.

Got an hour fortyfivesies on the bikaroony today. Pretty good groove. I was a little late, no no big apartment cleaning, but i did just spend 10 mintues grabbings some stuff that needs to be taken down to the trash. Better to take it little by little, at least as long as i have the time to do so.
Othet han that just trundling along. Trying to avoid reality. But it’s like a slow motion car crash. You can see it coming and coming and coming right at you, but there’s not enough time to steer away even though there is all the time.
ADDENDUM: oh and good news about my brother. Still doing well after the surgery, and he got a spot at the rehabilitation place he stayed at last time. Everyone is happy about that, it was his big wish. So they’ll be taking care of him and helping him recover for at least 5 weeks, I think. And hopefully he will be over all the pain and problems then.

I am normally a big opponent of all the remakes and reboots and all that, but I just watched the new trailer for Naked Gun and.. I may like this. Trailer had me laughing. Liam Neeson is looking perfect. I love that kind of humour. They might pull it off. And no Shirley, I’m not kidding.

“Social media now main source of news in US, research suggests”
No wonder things are going great, the future is bright!
Wait, let me just do my own research. Yes yes, unicorns still fart rainbows.
Thank you for getting your news from LNN.

Defrosted my freezer today. That’s not a euphemism. I say it every time, but it feels so good whn those big flakes of ice start peeling off. Mmm. I wish I could do that to my brain. Just scale off the flakes of trauma and anxiety. Wouldn’t that be nice.
i had a really great dream last night. It was very Lynchian. Unfortunately I don’t really remember it anymore, just vague details. A train in the darkness. A world that wasn’t what it seemed. Humans that weren’t really humans. I should have written it all down when I woke up. and then sent it to Mark Frost so he could use it in Twin Peaks The Next Generation.

I read that America is closing the national LGBTQ+ youth suicide lifeline.
Imagine not wanting to protect kids from suicide? I just. Pro life amirite? I can’t even imagine wanting to not prevent suicide in young people. If you told me they were closing a lifeline for nazi youths i would also be outragae. I don’t want nazi kids to kill themselves. I want them to grow up and learn their mistakes. If you honestly truly think being trans is a mental illness, are you saying you want mentally ill kids to kill themselves instead of getting them the help they need?
There’s still a general hotline, and hopefully that will still help. But if i was a trans or gay or whatever kid, I know damn well what message i’d take from this.
But hey, once they’re of the womb we don’t give a shit about their lives.
Bla bla bla I need to go the ruck to bed. I can’t take this world anymore.
*this post has not been fact checked, it’s midnight and my eyesight is shot and I hope I’m getting all the details wrong in my rage, goodnight america whatever you are

Good goat times today. Good to get away from the human world and into the goatspace. I feel so much better there.
There were some nice humans in the goatspace, though. Jeanette, of course. And visitors. When I got there in the morning a group of regulars were at the fence. One of the ladies, really nice lady, told me that she had just asked their children “What do the goats say?” when I had come around the corner and the goats ahd started hollering after me. So that was good timing.
Later on more regulars. Beren came in and got her quality goat time. Luna was sitting on the shelf-platform in the goat house and I had to help Beren find her, because she couldn’t see her in there. Her adutl, who I’ve said basic hellos to before, told me that Beren can’t see in the dark and has tunnel vision. And yeah I told him i could relate, with my problems. So we had a little chat, very nice. “She sure loves the goats, though” I said. And he said she loves all animals, she’s always saying how she loves animals. She’s just so sweet.
Jeanette and the visitors made pancakes at the campfire and everyone seemed to be having a lovely day. A little colder than lately, and a strong wind. But still a good deal of sunshine and quite lovely.
Got home and did an hour on the bike. Tough on the legs, but I got some do did. And now it’s time to get some soup done did. Done diddly doodly. If you’re hearing Ned Flanders in your head, then you’re alright by me.

Here’s Luna on the platform inside. She seems to really be liking it after Jeanette got it fixed to the wall. She goes in there a lot to sit when the sun is beaming outside.

News about my dad. He got results from his exams, and it turns out there’s a heart issue. He couldn’t quite explain the exact details to me. I think he said his heart was fine but it wasn’t getting the blood out well enough. Anyway, the point is that he will be having bypass surgery. Presumably in the next 2-3 weeks. So that’s a little scary, but hopefully it will go well. And hopefully that will help him with the problems he’s been having. He’s been very tired and weak and problems walking and things like that. It would be really great if he could get stronger after this. Crossing all my fingers for that.

Thank you everyone for the encouraging words about my dad. I really hope the bypass operation will improve his health. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Hope it will be done soon and sucesfully.
Then I just need to find someone to give mea brain and some courage and then we’ll be on our merry way down the yellow brick road. Wait, it’s not winter. Why is there yellow snow?!

Got an hour fortyfive on the bike today. Tired legs. Tired head. Too much depression and sadness and frustration. Spent all day yesterday waiting for an expensive package, it never came and tracking is all wonky so now I have that to worry about. Not that it’s important. But it just feels like everything keeps messing. And I have to get the email to the rehoming consultant written today or tomorrow. And there’s other stuff. And not to mention the world in general. And I feel like i can barely go on. Sorry for the dramatics. If you have sufferend from depression, i’m sorry, and you know how powerful and irrational it can be.
But hey I got biked done. So that’s a thing i did. And i did some more aprtment cleaning. Got the final mystery box opened up. Lots of stuff to go in the trash. Mostly old school papers. Old exams, old essays. Old newspaper cuttings from our class in the news, yes we made the news. I should have read it through before tossing it in the bag, now I don’t even remember why we were in the news. Honestly if I still was able to read stuff I would have spent days just sitting and looking through all the old stuff. So much old fascinating stuff from my childhood. Even if there’s no point to it anymore, it still would have been a nostalgia rush to just look at it closely. Ah well. Oh found the flyer from the place where I bought my first PC. i remember that flyer. Remember getthing that PC. After being a Commodore kid with a C64 and an Amiga 500. I upgraded to a real. With the help of Stefan and Morten, the PC kids of the class. Stefan went with me when we got the PC, and then he helped set it up. it had a giant hard drive, 250 megabytes holleeee shirt. It literally took like an hour+ to format and initialise it, so we set it to do that and then went for a walk down to the neighbourhood kiosk, probably bought candy or something. Came back and installed DOS 6.2.2 from his stack of floppies. And Norton Commander. Man, I want to get rid of Windows and just use NC again. I can still see that blue double paned filemanager in my head. That PC served me well for many years. I guess until my family got our first internet age PC. I remember we brought that home in a big box, but the store had forgot to put the CD with the internet software into the box, so we had to wait another couple of days before we could finally experience this brand new thing called internet.
Okay I’ll shut up. But living in the past is so much nicer than the present.
Apart from soup. Present soup is good. I’ll present myself with some of that now.

One of the things I found in the last mystery box of old stuff was my old Mexico ’86 sticker album.
We’re talking soccerballsports again.
Man, that tournament was something special. The Danish team was.. maybe the best it’s every been? Certainly in ‘modern’ times. Coined the phrase Danish Dynamite. Laudrup and Elkjær. Dazzling the world with beautiful balls. That was a special time. We won our first 3 games. Trashing Uruguay 6-1. Then famously, because of the huge time difference, I feel asleep when Denmark was leading 1-0 against Spain in the next round. And woke up to find we had lost 5-1. But that was still a formative memory for me, the first time i really followed the Danish national team i think. We were good in the Euros in 84, but i have no memories of that, so it must have been before I watched. in 1986 i was 8. So that makes sense.
But that sticker album. Do kids still have sticker albums? It was huge thing with pictures of every player from every country. but you had to buy packs of the stickers. And you’d get so many repeats. Trying to complete every country, spending tons of money on those packs. Haha. I can’t remember if you got chewing gum in the packs. I remember when Batman The Movie was released I would buy packs of gum with stickers from the movie, but I don’t know if there was an album for that or if it was just stickers from the movies. I still remember chewing all that gum and the screenshots from the movies, I was obsessed with that movie. Played the Batman The Movie The Computer Game on both C64 and Amiga.
Sorry brain tangent.
Anyway, not much left to the story. Just that i loved that Mexico ’86 album a lot. Eventually we took advantage of the offer somewhere in the back where you could actually write to the company and buy the stickers you didn’t have. Would have been sooo much cheaper to just order all the stickers in one go, instead of buying packs with constant repeats. But that would have been a lot less fun. I was so proud though when I had the album complete, sticks with pictures of every single player from every single country. And scribbling in the results of every single game in the tables. Who even won that tournament… was it. It was Argentina, right? That was the one with Maradona’s ‘hand of god’.
Yeah, just looked it up. Argentina beat Germany in the final. Germany that we had beat in the group stage. Man. Before football became an ahtletic dispensary system for gamblign and betting and sportswashing. I miss that sport. That team. Being a kid trying to stay up late enough to watch games from what may as well have been aanother planet, so far way that it was incomprehensible. Olé olé.
I better post this before I get started rambling about 1992 again…
Sorry, ballhaters!

Red Sonja again. It’s funny, she clearly knows that human hands are treat dispenser. She’ll stare at my hands her head follows them around if i move my hands. Like when I want to get the goats to look at the camera so I move my hands to get them to focus the right place. Same for Sonja.

Passing laws to force the ten commandments being put in every classroom, while shitting all over the commandments in everyday life. Such an American thing to do.
Sorry if you’re one of the good ones.
But let’s get that World War III started, while SkyNet sits and twiddles its thumbs and lets us do the hard work.
Look, I don’t know why they designed SkyNet to have thumbs? I’m pretty sure it’s canon though. Somewhere in the old Terminator Testament.
Two corinthians, three world wars and a memecoin in a pear tree.
Blablabla Sunday’s going great so far.

Okay. It’s done. I have sent the email to the rehousing consultant. It’s just a basic introduction to get the ball rolling. But at least i have taken the first step. Despite every bone in my body screaming to take no steps, to hide away and hope it all works out somehow by itself. Sigh. I really just don’t want to face it and deal with it. But I know I have to, and the quicker i get to it, the better a chance of finding a good new place. Theoretically they could get me a new place in a week. I’m sure that won’t happen, and I wouldn’t be able to deal with that. I really would prefer it to wait until summer is over. Or next year. I have to be out by April, i wouldn’t mind waiting till February. But we’ll see how it goes.
This is one of the most important things that will happen, presumable of all my life. I have only live one place, this place, since i moved away from home in 2007. Been here 18 years. Honestly scared shtless of the change. So much worry and anxiety and depression over this. But hey ho here we go. Let’s hope it goes okay.
