Redrum
Good goat times today. A bit chilly and overast, but the goats were happy and energetic. Luna doing a lot of animated running around.
I was late today because I had an appointment at the doctor’s office in the morning. Blood test to check if the potassium supplements have helped. We’ll have to see when the results come back. I got an EKG done too, and that was just fine.
Oh and it was my first chance to try out my new bus card. Brought both the new and old one, in case I couldn’t get the new one to work. But it worked fine. It wasn’t too hard. Just had to find the machine to swipe it on. But that was fine. And the way the billing works on the new one is al ot handier. So all in all it’s an improvement, now that I’m over the nervousness of having to learn a new thing.
Thankfully my goat card work the same way as it always has. Just present treats and there’s full access to the goat fun.
Now, it’s time for soup. Need those flourballs in me.

Sigh. I had a blackout. It’s been more than a month since the last one. I was really hoping I was over it.
I was on the exercise bike when it happened. Just about 30 minutes in. Just finished the rod bending, about to go into the intervals. And then I got that feeling, the deja vu, the youtube sounds. And then… sometime later I started coming back. Still on the bike.
And that weird feeling of not really knowing when and where you are and what you’ve been doing and what you’re supposed to do next. It’s always a little scary because you feel lost and you can’t help worry that it’s not going to come back to you. But slowly it does. Start to remember what has happened. I had a grocery delivery and a postal package delivery in the morning. I got on the bike.
I’m annoyed that it ruined my exercise session.
I know, I know I need to see a doctor about it. I just.. can’t face it.
Now I am depressed and don’t want to be here
Or I want to order cake or pizza.
I want the sun to shine.
I am tired.
Of it all.
Tra la.

In better news, I got the results back from my blood test, and my potassium levels are good now. So that’s swell. My soup levels need some work, must intake more.
Thank you everyone for worrying about me. I am sorry that I am dumb.

Well, it hasn’t been a great day. It was supposed to be an exercise day, but I got kind of knocked off course yesterday. Not feeling great today. Ended up sleeping late and ordering pizza. Whoops. So, it’s a fail day.
That’s okay. Having a fail day now and then is fine. I just have to avoid falling into a spiral like after my birthday. So it’s important to get back on track, right way. And I will do that. Have no doubt! Etcetera.
I will do my best.
Had several spam phone calls today. Which is pretty annoying. Normally I rarely answer my phone if it’s a number I don’t recognise. But Helle has helped me get in touch with the housing assoc about my ventilation (hank you, as always, to my guardian angel!) and I’m expecting a call from them. So I answered my phone to two phone marketers and I called back to one missed call, and got a confused person that I couldn’t make much sense of while my apartment was being shaken by construction workers outside. It was probably a spoofed number that I called back to
Anyway. This day is pretty much down the toilet. But at least I haven’t posted blasphemous pictures of myself as Jesus, so I’m not the biggest waste of space in the world.
Halleluja, praise the false idols and false prophet.
Anyway, tomorrow’s another day. I have done my own research and that is my conclusion.

Good goat times today. Back in my right element. Surround yourself with love, and goats.
Chilly and overcast with a rain drop here and there. I want my blue sky back! But as long I have my little tubby Sky then I’m good. Ruuude!
Sweet visitors today too. The kid from last time who was all excited to get goat kisses and shake paws, was back. He seems to really loved the goats. He had some carrot sticks, I think they were actually for himself, but he asked if he could give them to the goats. And I told him that would be nice. Later he came back and he had a cup of hot cocoa, warmed over Jeanette’s campfire, and he asked if I wanted some. I told him no, that’s ok. But he sure is nice and sharing! And he was excited again when Luna licked his hand, and he was just walking around with us and asking questions. Sweet kid.
We had the feathers out with us again too. It really adds something to have them fluttering about. Bella and Luna may hold a differing opinion. At least when they get too close they get chased off with the horns. But they’re flapping wings faster than the hooves are clacking so that’s okay.
Now it’s time for soups, good on a cold day.
Onwards and warts on.

The new log build seems to be a good tummy scratcher. It’s funny when Sky finds an especially good position for belly scratches she just can’t help herself, she bleats like that. I have noticed that before.

Some of the feathers. We have 5 now. The two whites are Italians. Jeanette told me she is calling them Diva and Donna. The two brown ones are both called Isa because they are apparently impossible to tell apart. I’ll take her word for that. She told me they got their name from Isa Brown, which I thought was some pop star, but looking it up it turns out to be a race of feathers. And then there’s the last one, must be the one not in this picture. She’s a Sussex, so I think she’s called Susie. I’m not going to be remembering any of this. I just hope they get to stay out with us.

The week is almost over. The weekend unfortunately brought more fail days. No exercise, bad eating. So tomorrow we’re starting again again again. To try to do better.
On the plus side, my pains seem to have lessened. I haven’t needed painkillers to just sit in my chair the last few days. Maybe I put too much strain on my back doing the playground workings and now it has healed. Maybe all my stretches and exercises have helped. Maybe it’s all random. Maybe I’m imagining it and it will be bad again tomorrow. Who knows. But for now I feel a bit better.
Next week I have an appointment at the eye doc, which should be routine. And hopefully I can get the housing assoc to come look at my ventilation system. Don’t know how that will go, but I will be glad to have it looked at.
So hopefully that will all go okay.
Now I will ramble about some stuff I’ve watched and heard, you can skip all this, nothing important.
I finished The Shining. Both the book and the movie. Glad I listened to the English version of the book. I really like it. Good classic Stephen King stuff. The movie is a classic too, but it’s rather a different beast. I don’t think it tells the story as well as the book. Obviously the book can give you a lot more details about the story. The movie looks and sounds amazing. It has some creepy and memorable bits. But I can understand why King wasn’t so happy with it. I can also understand why it’s considered a classic. I feel like one of its biggest flaws is also one of its biggest strengths. Jack Nicholson. He’s brilliant, but he’s also very Jack Nicholson. In the book you get a much better sense of the downward spiral of the father. His fears and insecurities, the things he’s done that got him there, the slow progression, sympathy and doubt. In the movie he almost seems diabolical from the beginning. Because he’s Jack fkn Nicholson. Doesn’t feel like it’s a very far journey for him to go mad.
And the Shining itself doesn’t get much time, the connection between Danny and Halloran is barely there. Lots of other stuff. The movie is dazzling but the book is the better story. i think they’re both worth experiencing, but very different.
I’m probably going to watch the tv mini series next. I watched it decades ago, but like the book and movie I barely remember it from back then. I know King was way more involved with it than the movie.
Currently reading Melissa Auf Der Mauer’s biography. She has been a part of several bands that mean a lot to me, but I didn’t know a lot about her, so it has been very interesting. If you like Hole or The Smashing Pumpkins or Nirvana or that whole scene, it is certainly interesting. And just for a woman’s perspective on all that and art. I like it. Almost done with it. Next up is another King. The Body. I have read that before, but there’s a new audio version out narrated by Whil Wheaton, so I want to give that a listen. Maybe I’ll watch Stand By Me after I’m done with that, that would make sense.
Finished the new season of Scrubs. Loved it. Not super into the new interns, but they’re okay. But it captures the magic of the old show very well I think, and I love that. Feels good.
Also still enjoying another Bill Lawrence show, Rooster. Bill Lawrence makes a lot of good TV that is happy and comforting and emotional. I’m a fan.
Also enjoying the new animated Darth Maul show. Oh and speaking of Star Wars, I FINALLY finished Andor. It took me so long to get to it and then I had several starts and stops along the way. But now it’s done. And it’s probably the best Star Wars since Disney took over the franchise. Even though it got uncomfortably close to what’s going on in the real world. Space fascism is more fun than Earth fascism, though.
Been listening to Bowie’s Earthling a lot more. Still really like it. I like it a lot more than the previous one, Outside. Even though I really wanted to like Outside, because I had more personal connection to it. But I found it hard to get really into Outside. Partly because how it was meant to be the first of a trilogy and how it was partly based around a Twin Peaksy muder mystery, and none of that got finished. The Hearts Filthy Lesson is one of my favourite Bowie tracks, but the whole album just doesn’t speak to me. I enjoy listening to Earthling a lot more.
Okay, I’ll shut up now. Mentally I am not doing very well. But time keeps on timing. I’m just trying to keep up.
Hope you’re all doing okay out there. Thanks for listening, if you do.
All depression and no goats make Lasse a dull boy.
Meep meep.
