Snow Hollow
Good goat times today. A snowstorm has moved over the country, so today was a snow day. Big snow everywhere.
Thankfully the paths to the playground were cleared. It’s not a straight path, it sweves and curves, so when everything is covered by snow it gets really hard for me to.. stay on the path.
But that wasn’t a problem today. And while it was freezing cold of course, at least the wind wasn’t too bad. The snow gets tiring after a while, but honestly a lovely snow day like today feels a lot better than the bone crushing wind chill we had last week.
And Jeanette was back, hooray! She’s not quite at full strength, but it’s just good to have her back. So much nicer to get to the goats and they already have fresh water. And the goats were all good. Got them out in the snow for a bit. Treats and snacks and cuddles. Some headbutting and running around. Sinking into deep snow. Pretty lovely day. Only thing missing was some sunshine. And maybe some visitors. It’s winter vacation in Denmark, that and the deep snows kept people away I guess.
But all in all a lovely day with the goats. And now it’s definitely soup time, it doesn’t get much more soupweathery than a snow day.

I didn’t watch the supper bowling, or the halftime show. But I read that Bad Bunny’s show was the is the most watched halftime show in history. I have not fact checked this, but I’m going to assume it’s true because I like it. Try harder next time, racists and bigots.
I really really really do not understand the point of this being controversial or offensive to anything. The fkn stupidest timeline indeed.
And then you have an alternative halftime show. So the other side can profit of all the people who want to ‘protest’. You think Turning Point put on an alternative because they’re THE GOOD GUYS and super patriotic or whatever? No, they did it because they know the ragebait will get theme viewers and attention and profit. Just like all the ragebait memes about the ‘horriblet hings’ that ‘the other side’ are doing. Just designed to get you to share them so they can profit from lies and propaganda. It’s such a shtshow.
The rich are getting richer and the people that are supposed to lead you to better days are profitting from the downfall of America.
But at least NFL quarterbacks run on time.

Got an hour fortyfive on the bike today. So that was pretty good. Tired muscles after snowtrekking yesterday. But it was fine. I enjoy the burn. Trying to intenify. Work harder, not smarter. That’s my motto. *taps finger on nose* always thinking.
Oh and happy birthday greetings to Helle today. What a difference she has made to my life in the few months we have known each other.

Oh hey, it’s February 10th.
If you want to send me a Valentines card you better get a move on. If you hurry up you might be able to get me a card by Valentine’s Day, 2027.
I still have not received a single piece of actual mail in all of 2026.
I am not sure how much of that is due to the problem with the missing name on the mailbox, how much is due to the big changeover in Denmark where the national postal service stopped delivering letters and gave over the service to a private company (that is being absolutely SLAMMED by everyone for doing a horrible job) and how much is due to just.. mail not really a thing anymore.
But I’m pretty sure I have missed a christmas card or two from some of you out there, so sorry about that.

Got an hour and a half on the bike today. Two days in a row again. It’s tough, but it works well for me with two consecutive days in the beginning of the week, and then one in the weekend. Trying to really make an effort now. At least I’m doing something!
I think my blood sugar readings are improving, not so sure about the blood pressure. But I’ll try my best before my next doctor’s visit, in March.
Physically getting better and better. Mentally? Eh, not so much. That’s still a struggle. But hey, one day a day and all that.
Been feeling not quite myself again the last couple of days. Do you ever get that feeling that you’re not yourself? Like maybe someone replaced and the real you is boudn and gagged in the janitor’s closet?
Or maybe you’re an android. Or a replicant. But you don’t know you’re a replicant because you don’t dream of electric sheep or unicorns.
Or maybe you’re mutating. Maybe the radiation from your microwave is slowly turning you into the next step of human evolution. Now I know that sounds crazy, mainly because I don’t have a microwave.
The smoke detector doesn’t seem to be detecting anything coming out of my butt either.
Anyway. I’m probably still Lasse. Maybe I should get my name tattooed on my forehead so it’s easy to check in case I’m not sure who I am.
Imagine if one day you looked in the mirror and you had someone else’s name stamped on your foread. You’d have to go and return yourself, maybe you could get store credit.
Alright alright. I might not feel quite myself, but at least I can still write long dumb facebook posts. Who wants to eat, hooray!

Rest in peace James Van Der Beek. That is just.. I’m a little speechless. That’s so sad. So young. Ugh.
I know it may seem silly in today’s light, but Dawson’s Creek was a very very important show to me. I don’t want to go into all the details, but it deeply impacted my life. It seems like a lifetime ago, a different life. I was in a very troubled and very dark time in my life when that show came to Denmark.
This is just heartbreaking. Life ain’t fair.
I am very Crying Dawson right now.

Good goat times today. Another snow day. The last few days the forecast had been saying we’d be getting a ton of snow today. On the day it was adjusted way down. But there was some snowfall. And of course still a lot on the ground.
And a colder wind today. But not too bad. Honestly I love a good snow day with goats. The snow wears out its welcome fairly quick, but it’s nice to get some days with a real good amount of snow and just spend time in it with the goats. When I was young I loved the snow a lot, now I can’t take the cold. But there’s still some love of snow in me.
So the order of the day was lots of snacks and cuddles. Making sure everyone got their fair share.
We had a little visitor too, a young boy with a parent or teacher or something. He got to pet both Sky and Luna, so he was pretty happy.
Just a sweet little snow day. Now I’m about ready for spring, please.
But some soup will warm me up for now.

Hey hey! Look at that. I actually got mail. I do believe this is the first private piece of mail I have received in all of 2026.
It is bittersweet though. A christmas card from Tim and ELLEN
Those of you who are friends with Ellen know that she is in the hospital after a serious medical incident. I am sending all my love and good thoughts for you, Ellen. I really hope you will recover and you’ll be able to come home and things will be okay.
I donated to their gofundme when it was first posted, but I’ll post a link to it in the comments, if any of you would want to contribute to it, even just a bit, that would be lovely. Ellen is one of the good ones. One of those people I have gotten to know through the goat circles, one of those names that are constantly there with love and support and kindness. There are many of you and I treasure you. So, send your love to Ellen. She needs it.
And I’m happy to have confirmation that I’m able to receive mail. It has often taken a long time for mail to get to me from America, but a christmas card at almost Valentines, I think that may be a record. The huge delay caused by the switch from the national postal service to a private company may have helped here. If there hadn’t been that huge delay then the card would have probably gotten here while I didn’t have a name on my mailbox and then it would have been returned. So hey there’s still hope if anyone else sent me cards that I haven’t gotten yet.
Thank you Ellen and Tim, and a merry christmas and Happy New Year to you too. Please get well.

You know what’s spooky? That Valentine’s Day never falls on a Friday the 13th. Explain THAT to me!

It is a man balancing precariously on the handrail of balcony high up in the air, and it is also a giant gold eagle perching on the handrail.
It is the man flapping his arms, and it is also the eagle flapping its wings.
It is the man jumping forward and it is also the eagle taking off.
It is the man plummeting and it is also the eagle flying safely into the sunset.

Got an hour fortyfive on the bike today. Phew. It was a struggle today. Muscles felt tired, I got winded faster, my head was hurting. I don’t know if the double-days of exercise I’ve been doing earlier in the week, or trekking in the snow, or what. But it was hard today.
But I powered through. And when it feels like it’s hard, it als ofeels like it’s effective. The burnfeels good. And I got good results on the scales. Which is good for motivation. I felt like the 5-2 diet wasn’t really doing much for me, so along with ramping up the exercise I have also dialled up the diet. I miss cheese. But seeing and feeling the results is nice. So I’ll keep at it.
The sun is shining outside, which is rather lovely.
And I have Danish tomatoes. I don’t know if they’ll be any good, it’s still too early in the year for good tomatoes probably. I stopped eating tomatoes a while ago because I was worried the acidity was doing bad stuff to my teeth. But now that my teeth are better monitored and cared for, I figure I can try to start eating them again? Some of you may remember how much I love tomatoes. A plate full of tomatoes and cucumber would satisfy me as a good meal during some of my previous diets.
My whole life has been a big struggle with weight. Being a fat kid. Being a fat adult. Diabetic. It has ruined a lot for me. The rollercoaster of losing and gaining and losing and gaining. The damage it has done to my body, not to mention my mind.
But hey, here I am. Doing my best.

Happy Valentimes Day everybuddies.
Have I mentioned lately that I love you? I know I’m not good at keeping up with posts and comments and messengers and reciprocatting (meow). But I can’t understate how much you all mean to me, how wonderful it is to have a place where you feel like people care about you and are happy to see you.
I have had periods of extreme loneliness and isolation in my life. It is a deep pain that have left deep scars. But it is healing to know there are people who feel you have value, that you’re worth caring about and loving. People who WANT you around.
And I love seeing your love for your families and animals and the things you care about. There’s a lot of negative aspects to social media, but I love when people use it for positive things. And for me it’s a very positive thing to have you in my life.
I don’t know if I will ever get to a place where I feel like I’m worth loving. But I feel loved. And I love you for that.
Now let me think of a fart joke to make up for all that sentimentality.
An unpopular fart walks into a bar and everyone looks up and someone yells “YOU STINK”
I’ll workshop that.
