Root Cause
Well, today was a little different than originally planned.
I was planning for a goat trip. But then I got notified that a package was coming. This one a little more important, and with my two packages that were just dropped at the door lat week, I felt like I had to be home to make sure i got this one.
Also, Jeanette is on vacation now. I usually try to time my goat trips to be on days that Jeanette is there, because I really enjoy when she is around. So no Jeanette means I don’t have to go today over some other day.
So, I stayed home today. Got my package. This one was not dropped at the door. But this package required a signature, so they kind of had to knock on the door for that. i don’t know if my complaints last week have had any effect, I guess I’ll see some time in the future.
Because I knew yesterday that was going to stay home today, I also decided to order some emergency B&Js. I put in an order at the delivery service at the last moment. It literally said “If you want delivery tomorrow, you have to finish your oder in 10 minutes. Hurry!”. Got me order placed, and recieved it today. Along with some more Pepsi & Protein. You have to order for a certain minimum amount, but I can always use more Pepsi. And some other assorted stuff. So that’s fine, now I can go a little longer before my next delivery. And now I have iced creams! I will enjoy me some mango b&js today.
I am not feeling super great really. Maybe I’ll take some vacation days too. But I do need some goat time, because goat time keeps me going. And with Jeanette on vacation I also want to try to make sure they’re doing okay and getting all they need. I wish I could be there every day. I just don’t have the capacity for that unfortunately.
The heat is starting to scale down to more normal levels now. The forecast is promising a lot of rain, although it keeps fluctuating. Yesterday it said wed get about 85mm on Tuesday, now it says 36.
And that’s about it. I thought I was going to exercise today, since I’m not going to the goats. But i’m not. I’m going to sit here and do nothing and eat ice cream. I call it, a Presidential Day. Minus the Epstein.
Oy.
Sorry.
Hope you’re all doing well and doing good, for goodness sake.

Ask your local ice cream van driver if cryogenic freezing could be right for you.

Good goat times today. Good to be back where I belong. Taking care of goat business. Alls good in the goat hood.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from the weather today. As I mentioned, a couple of days ago the forecast for today said 80+mm of rain. Then it went to 30+. How much rain did we get? Well we got lots of rain today but most of it passed by overnight. My walk to the goats was dry, so that was nice. A few small rainshowers now and then during the day. But not much.
I’m almost a little disappointed. I do prefer sunny goat days, but there’s something nice about sitting in the goat house and listening to the rain. Especially if it’s a big rain storm. Like when Lisa was visiting and it started raining and thundering. My mood right now would be a good match for a big rainstorm. So I was almost looking forward to that.
But I think the goats were happy that it wasn’t raining anymore. We even when down in the pen for a bit, although the wet ground and occasional rain meant we mostly stayed up by the house.
With Jeanette off on vacation, the feathers don’t get to come out. I’m glad they’re being kept safe, but I sure miss them when they can’t come out and hang with us. And I miss Jeanette too of course. Oh well. Just three weeks. And hopefully everything will be fine while we’re ‘on our own’.
I did meet the lady taking over Jeanette’s duties today. I can’t remember her name, but she seemed nice enough. She had 3 kids ‘helping’ her with the chores. And of course me helping with feeding the goats.
But good to be back with the gang. That’s where I feel the best. My head is not complete well yet, and there’s been so much stress, and I’m sure i have put on a few pounds. Hopefully I can get into a better rhythm now. I’ll try.
For now I’m going to get into a pot of soup.

Here are the three furkels. Did weee do that?
The good thing about not getting heavy rain is that Sky didn’t have to fight to stay in the dry.

It’s funny how different countries have different ways of dealing with issues,
Let’s pick a random one for an example, just totally off the top of my head. Deepfake. Now Denmark is apparently working to give people the copyright ownership of their own features so deepfakes of them would be illegal. Meanwhile other countries are doing different things. Like say for example America. Where the leader of the country is literally posting deepfakes of political opponents.
I guess time will tell who will be on the right side of history. Meet me back here in 5 and we’ll see. Five minutes I mean.

All i hope is that they find something so incriminating about Donnie that the White House will have to release the X-Files to distract us. LOOK OVER HERE, ALIENS ARE AMONG US! GIULANI IS ACTUALLY A LIZARD IN HUMAN SUIT! THE PYRAMIDS ARE SPACESHIPS! BIGFOOT IS REAL AND THEY FOUND HIM BUT WE CANCELLED THE SHOW BEFORE YOU COULD SEE IT. THE LOCH NESS MONSTER IS A WEED SMOKING DRAGON. LOOK OVER HERE!

Speaking of Giuliani, i am still watching the old snl episodes, and yesterday I watched the episode he hosted in season 23, would have been 1997 or 1998. It’s so weird seeing him being… almost likeable? And revered and cheered. It’s hard not to think, how’dya go from there to here. Of course it’s impossible to look at it without being coloured by the present dystopia we live in. I must have watched this episode back then, but I have no memoery of it and I have no idea what I thought of him. Back then I wouldn’t have had a clue who he was (better days…). But it’s pretty jarring. To his credit, he did let them poke fun at him a lot. He literally got beat up by Janet Reno. Will Ferrell as Janet Reno is hilarious, but I have a feeling it’s one of the ethings that didn’t age so well.
Watching old episodes of snl is a weird time capsule sometimes. And lots of stuff that didn’t age well. Not too long ago I watched the episode hosted by Kevin Spacey. In his monologue he was making fun of how he was a serious actor and here was doing comedy. “When you think of Kevin Spacey, the one word you think of is comedy!”. Yeah. Yeah that’s.. that’s not hte word I’m thinking of.
And Norm MacDonald. He was the funniest dude, I was a big fan. I still kind of think of him as a genius. Before reaching his stage in the snl rewatch I kind of thought his Weekend Update was the gold standard. Now that I’m watching it.. man. So many jokes are so anti-women, anti-gay, anti-trans. It’s also quite jarring. A lot of punchlines boil down to “Can you believe how ugly this woman is?” or “being gay is so gross”. And the worst one, the joke where he said that the trans woman deserved to be murdered for ‘tricking’ guys into sex (the case that inspired the Boys Don’t Cry movie). It’s really wrenching that he made that joke about a real person that was raped and murdered. Man. And after having read about his religious views, it’s hard not to wonder how many of these jokes are just jokes and how much he actually meant.
Also just watched Chris Farley’s last episode hosting. I think he died within month’s of that, and again it’s hard to watch all the jokes about how fat he is, how he has substance abuse problems, how he screws everything up. knowing how close he was to the end, it’s just heartbreaking.
The problematic stuff is getting less and less, but definitely still there at times.
Also,l how come The Ladies Man got his own movie but Lionel Osbourne didn’t? . It’s 4:49 in the am and that means you’re watching Pespectives. I love Tim Meadows
And Will Ferrell. I know i watched some of the stuff back in the Sandler/Spade/Farley years, but Will Ferrell are my earliest memories of really watching the show continuously and loving it. I still love Will.
Anyway, no point to any of this. I’m just trying to avoid reality.

i’m so glad that fb cares so much about my privacy and personal information and security, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside as they strongarm me into accepting personallized ads if i don’t want to pay to use the site.
Sheesh. If it wasn’t for all the good people, and goats, on here, I’d ditch this place in a heartbeat. I wish there was an actual good social media platform that worked well and wasn’t evil and lived up to my needs. But I guess i’m stuck in the cesspool.
Thanks for being bottom feeders with me!

Good oat times today. The day got off to a rough start with some really horrible news from a friend. Nothing to do with me or my family, but really gut wrenching. Can’t say more about it, but my thoughts go out to the people involved.
A hot and humid day. Mostly just relaxing with the goaties. i am struggling myself, but it’s just good to turn off the brain and let the pureness of goats work its magic.
I let them into the ‘back yard’ place with the chicken coop and bunny house, to let them graze a little on the untouched greens there.
They sure were tired as the sun burnt on. And so was I.
Pretty burned out.
But I’ll grab some soup now.

Bella really wishes the platform was a liiiittle bit closer to teh tree line. I’ve caught her there before, staring at the leaves. They’re just out of reach from the platform.
And apparently Lasse is too LAZY to dig up the whole foundation of the platform and moving it a few bits ot the right, sheesh! You can’t get good human help these days.

Wow, South Park, wow.
That was.. that was something. Haha.
And you have to love living in a world where the actual White House makes official comments about a cartoon. And they proclaim that the cartoon is not relevant. Dude, you’re the White House and you’re commenting on them, that’s the most relevant any cartoon has been since.. Well I’m definitely going to mention any Danish cartoons that ever hit any interntional news, that’s for sure.
Gotta hand it to South Park. I’m not as big a fan as I have been in the past, but I appreciate they went HARD on Trunp. In a time when media, be they mainstream or social or whatever, bow to him and kiss the ring as much as possible. it’s not even about politics, it’s just one of the most important things. You have to be able to make fun of people in power, whether it’s Trump or Biden or whoever. It’s your duty to fucking clown them
Ok. That lil Trump weenie tho..

I recently managed to teach Bella to do ‘smoochies’ as I call them. I’ll do kissy noises and she’ll get her face close to me and sniff my face. Sky will do that too. And as you may have seen, Luna will just go full on crazy and lick and bite my face. She’s a crazy girl. But i like that they all will do kissies. I miss Mia’s smooches.

Got myself on the bike for an hour forty today. Had to force myself to get going again. I have skipped some sessions and been eating poorlt (got more b&js). I have not been doing great. Dealing with some pain too. I have an issue going on. I will tell you all about it in a few days I think.
But yeah, I have not been doing super great. Trying to carry on and get back to better habits. I’ll be out of my expensive protein bars soon, hopefully that’ll help me get my diet back to something more sensible.
Trying my best. Headspace is not good right now. But hey hey a day a day. One hoof in front of the other.

For the premium subscribers, the blooper reel has been updated.
I have tried real hard to be careful and not let the goats push the camera over. Because i can’t afford to keep buying new cameras. But Bella finally got this one.
Thankfully it was just on my small tripod, so it was just a little topple, don’t think there has been any damage. Don’t know if I should bubblewrap the cameras or just bubblewrap Bella.
