Sunskies
ood goat times today. Good to get back to the goat world. So much easier to understand and deal with than the human one.
Spring is here. Not much sun today, but the temperatures are up and sniffing at 10C/50F which is quite nice. And there was a lot less water on the ground today. Stll muddy, though.
Jeanette had brought a big christmas tree and a bunch of branches from home. So the goats had a lot to munch on. I may also have brought a snack or two for them. They don’t go hungry.
We hd a sweet visitor too. A little girl called Eleanor. I heard the adult with her translating our goat sign for her. “Keep the gate closed, no matter what the goat says”. Kids usually enjoy that.
Came back home to noisy upstairs neighbour. Sounds like renovations. Humans are such a bother.
But now it’s time for soup, so I got that going for me.

Breakfast this morning. Actually quite a rare sight. Sky in the middle between Luna and Bella.
When I put out breakfast for them, Bella and Luna oviously always take the two first bowls, and Sky has to take the last. For some reason this morning Luna abandoned her bowl and went and pushed Sky away from hers. So Sky went “Alright, i’ll go take YOUR bowl then”. And so Sky ended up with the middle bowl. But hey, they all got their share so no worries. And I was glad Sky felt comfortable enough standing between the two others.

Got an hour fortyfive on the bike today. Good session. Back on track.
Also got my protein & pepsi delivery today. Mostly a ton of bananas, clemetines, apples and cucumbers. All out of biscuits, toast and cheese. Sigh. But I’m going to try to remp it up again. The Facebook selfie problem kind of derailed me. But I’m motived to do well again now. Going to try to have a healthy March leading up to my doctor’s visit. That’s the ambition. Eyes pointed at the daw and pedals to metals. Or something.

Speaking of Scrubs, my Sacred Heart longsleeve gets a lot of use in the cold months.

Got an hour forty on the bike today. Two days in a row, getting into the groove. So that’s good.
I wasn’t feeling great in the morning. Didn’t sleep well. Woke up feeling cold and with lots of construction noise outside.
My paranoid mind started thinking, are my windows broken? Are they letting in more noise and cold? Have I left a window open by accident?
I don’t know, maybe construction is getting closer to my place. And i have turned down the heat a little, since the weather is gettig warmer.
But I was feeling pretty off. Was waiting on a package that hasn’t come yet either. You know the thing when you keep checking the tracking page? It’s supposed to get delivered today, but it hasn’t even reached the stage of “out for delivery” which it usually goes to around 7 am. It’s 3 pm now.
Anyhoo. Glad I got the exercise done. The legs get very tired when going two days in a row. But it feels good. Getting into the zone with the music in my ears, the space heater pointed at me, the sweat running. It feels good, and it’s motivating when you see the weight trending downwards again.
And not eating a whole pack of biscuits with a bunch of cheese is a lot easier when you don’t have any biscuits or cheese.
If I have it then I can’t help myself from eating it. So my top dieting tip is: Don’t have the unhealthy stuff in your house. It’s better to regret not buying unhealthy stuff than it is to regret eating a ton of unehalthy stuff.

Wow, that Just-eat service is closing in Denmark.
That’s crazy. I know I have stopped ordering junk food, but I didn’t think it would have such a disastrous effect on their economy!
Just kidding, of course. but I do think I have only ordered pizza once or twice since I moved into this place. It has just gotten more and more expensive with more and more bogus addon fees. And of course I have been trying to get more healthy.
Still, it is a little sad to see Just-Eat close. It has been the primary, almost exclusive, place I ordered food for decades.
sounds like it will be a while before their shutdown is completely in effect, maybe I’ll have one last pizza before they’re gone. Not right now though, need to keep up the healthier momentum.

Good goat times today. A gorgous day. Sunshine and blue skies. It almost felt like spring. Well, looked like spring. Still a bit cold. Almost frosty in the morning, and I don’t think we got up to 10C/50F. But it feels so good to have the sunshine. And I missed those blue skies. The goats immedaitely got lazy and just sat around. Bella and Luna took a platform each, Sky sitting in the grass between the platforms. I got yawns from all three of them. Spent time sitting with them all. That’s the stuff. It’s going to be ever better when it gets warmer.
Lots of sweet visitors too. Kids in the pen petting the goats. One of the girls started peeing in front of them, that always get some laughs. And a little boy asked “can I.. touch the pee?”. Hid adult did not think that would be a good idea. Ah well! Haha.
Just a lovely time.
And now it’s time for soup, which is also good.

They fired the goat and dog killer?
But not for murdering goats and dogs of course. Because everyone was cool with her murdering goats and dogs.That’s something that will stay with me. Good old-fashioned animal lovers just being totally fine with the gal who murdered goats and dogs. Just like they’re fine with gutting the environment, because there’s nothing that matters less to animals than the environment. They’re not going to need a healthy Earth if they’re just going to live in our slaughterhouses, right?
Anyway, it’s great how I don’t talk politics anymore.

Think goat thoughts.
Three goats relaxing in the sunshine. I was sitting next to Luna on the ramp here, in front of us is Sky on the grass, and Bella sitting on the far platform. Lazy goats in the sun.

Did you know that in Danish a smurf is a “smølf”.

I hurt my back today. Not swashbuckling pirates or lifting heavy barrels of plutonium into the hadron collider or wrestling an alligator. Just laying bed.
I sometimes do some stretches and crunches and that kind of thing when I wake up. Partly, funnily enough, to strengthen my back.
So I was laying down on my back and lifting my pelvis up, which is supposed to be good for your back. And then coming down I hear a crack and feel a sharp pain. Great. Like one of the joints in the spine snapped or something.
Well, it’s later now and I’m feeling better. Not sure if that’s because of the painkillers I took or if it was just no biggie. Let’s hope it’s no biggie. My back has been generally doing a little better again after a worse period. Lost a little weight again and did some new massages with my psoas massager. Hope I didn’t bust it now.
Oh I also put some stress on it yesterday, carrying something to the goats. I guess I should find a picture of that and tell you.
Anyway. Taking it easy today and listening to new Morrissey album. He may be a big knut, but I do often still like his music.

Here’s what I carried yesterday. No, not the goat. The boards. I can’t remember if I mentioned it back then, but when I did the move and got rid of my huge book shelf, well I kept the shelves. Figured I could take them to the playground and use them for the goats. They like climbing stuff, even if it’s just a wooden board on the ground. So I’m going to bring them to the playground. Took the first 3 yesterday. They are heavier than you might think, and as mentioned I have a bad back. Even just carrying those 3 all the way up there was a bit of a strain. Got 6 more at home, so I’ll take two more carrying trips. And then I’ll decide where to put them. I was thinking maybe using some to cover some muddy spots if possible, maybe a few underneath one of the platforms in the big pen to have a nice shady spot to sit on them. Maybe I can build something with them. We’ll see. It’s nice to have projects and I enjoy making stuff for the goats! Hopefully I won’t bust my back too much doing the carrying.

A little more of that deep blue sky, and of course the sweet Sky below.

Got an hour forty on the bike today. Phew. Did not feel strong. And my back still hurting. The right side. Also felt like it went down into my leg a little. Not pain, but my right leg had little.. fallouts. Like half a second where it felt like it lost a little strength. Hard to explain. Wasn’t too bad, didn’t keep me from going at the bike. But generally just felt like a struggle today.
But I struggled through it, and that feels good. Weight is down to the lowest it has been since I started working at again. I’m at a pretty good place now, but I’ll try to keep at it for a while before I relax things.
I’m going to relax things with some soup now, though. Seems like a good day for soup. All signs point to soup.

Oh Luna. That puppydog sitting position is always so cute. Don’t know why she does it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the other two do it. But she seems to like it.

Do you ever wonder about the pain of other people? I don’t mean physical pain, like a bad back. But the things they hide away.
We all have it. Some more, some less. But there is no growing up without pain. Leaving childhood behind is a certain kind of trauma. For some the trauma starts even before that.
Anyway, there was no point to this. I wish you strength to bear your pain. Hopefully there is more good than bad.

Lazy Sunday. My back is a little better. Although I’m still moving around like I’m a senior citizen. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
Other than that, just listening to music, watching videos, trying to get stuf organized. Gonna have me a bunch of bananas, clementines, cucumber, apple. I’m eating like a goat, let’s hope I don’t start dropping berries all over the place.
Hope you’re all doing swell. I would saw off an arm for a piece of chocolate. I mean, not my own arm, that would be crazy. But someone else’s? That seems reasonable.
Sorry sorry. Don’t fall for the old banana in the tailpipe bit.
