Good goat times today. A lovely day with the girls. Cloudy today, but the sun fought to come through. And it did, quite a lot. And it was just good to be back where I belong, where my mind is at ease and the pains forgotten.
They were quite territorial today. There was a lot of chasing aways. Not just Sky being chased away, Luna had to get out of Bella’s way a lot too. And Bella, she didn’t have to get out of anyone’s way. It’s good to be queen.
Luna tries to challenge her, but there’s no doubt who’s strongest. A lot of their headbutting matches end with Luna sprinting away with an indignant bleat. Silly goats.
And the feathers fluttering about, I am glad they are still allowed to be out with us. Pecking leftovers when the goats have snacks.
And of course Jeanette, we had a little chat about my EEG results. She is obviously interetested in what is going on with all that. I still can’t imagine how it must have been for her to spot someone lying in the road an then realising it was me. Can’t have been fun.
And we had a few visitors too, a couple of kids in the pen but not interacting much with the goats. Kids often like going out to the platforms out in the pen and jumping around on those.
All in all a nice little day. Now I’m going to have myself some soup. Just because I’m on a tomato diet doesn’t mean I’m not going to have some soup. perish the thought.

Triple goat score. And I think there are some featherbutts too.

It’s always fun trying to get a selfie with Bella and Luna, and trying to get both of them in the shot, along with myself. I usually take 6-7 ones and then I pick the one that comes closest. This was today’s effort.

Here is Sky performing a photographic representation of Lasse’s tomato diet.
Yes, I saved one, ONE, tomato. For Sky. Because Sky loves tomatoes as much as I do.
Fresh delivery pending tomorrow.

Got an hour fortyfive on the bike today. So I got that going for me. Still working hard at it. And my weight loss resumed, after stagnating. So that’s satisfying to see. Clearly my tomato diet is already paying, that is evident!
Speaking of, I also got a tomato delivery today. A big sack of fresh ecological tomatoes yum yum. Oh actually the English word is organic, isn’t it? It’s ‘økologisk’ in Danish which is why my brain goes to ecological. But it’s ‘organic’ in English. I’m glad we talked that through, I’m sure you’re excited by getting a look into the thought process behind these captivating posts!
Going to have myself a tasty plate of tomatoes and cucumber tonight.

I had myself a little crying spell on the exercise bike today. I am not sure where that came from.
Well, maybe it was partly because I watched the Euphoria finale today. It’s an outrageously crazy and controversial show. But the finale had some emotional stuff. Characters dying. And an appearance from an actor who had died in real life. So some of that got me in the heart.
I was sitting on the bike during one of the cool down periods and I got this vision of myself. Old. Older. Not retirement home old. But I was in a home. And there was a nurse taking care of me, and others. It wasn’t a vision so fully formed, more like feelings and images. But I was being taken care of and I was ..senile? Dementia? I don’t know.
But it hit me kind of hard.
I wonder what will fail me first, my body or my mind. Sometimes I feel like I’m coing apart at the seams. And I keep pulling the threads.
I am my own darkness. Struggling for breath and cursing the air in my lungs. I am the poison for the cure.
Sometimes it’s very hard to see the beauty in the world, when there is so much ugly. I don’t know how humans do it, deal with all the misery and pain. I wonder if there’s a version of humanity somewhere, without misery and pain. And are they better off or not? Maybe some day our brains will all be replaced by AI and we’ll sit on a ruined planet and spray emojis at each other.
Who knows!

Got an hour fifty on the bike today. So I got that going for me. Phew. Hard work today. Tired legs from yesterday. But I powered on, and good results. After some frustration last week, I am feeling motivated again. Fight to live another day.
Note to self: Don’t say “piece of cake” to yourself when doing something well, you just end up wanting cake. True story.
Watched me some Shawshank Redemption yesterday. After The Shining and The Body/Stand By Me. It’s fun to read the story and then watch the movie. With those two first ones I prefer the written story. But with Shawshank it’s the movie that takes the top spot. I know it’s terribly normcore and tradwife and whatever the kids say these days, but yes that movie remains one of my absolutely favourites. Wonderful cast, and some changes that elevate ths story. It holds up.
I guess I should watch Apt Pupil next, since I just finished the Different Seasons collection with The Body, Shawshank and Apt Pupil. I don’t think that movie is too well regarded though.
Gonna have me some mashed potaters now, and a plate of tomatoes tonight. Kamikaze gourmet.

Good goat times today. Mostly overcast day with a little bit of sunshine now and then, and a walk home in the summer rain. Pretty good.
Had other business to attend to first, though. After finally making the phone call to the dentist, I got an appointment today. So I had to go do that thing.
And it went pretty well. I once again got compliments on my oral hygiene, no need for dental cleaning, x-ray of the root canal I had done last year was good.
It wasn’t all great, though. I had a small cavity. Would you believe, that’s the first one I’ve ever had. in almost 50 years of having teeth in my mouth. That’s a decent streak, isn’t it?
It hadn’t really been bothering me, but I suppose it was better to get it fixed. So we took care of that. He said “I think we can do that without anesthesia”. Okay, buddy! Well, it went fine. I could handle the pain.
It’s good to be on top of the dental situation. I don’t remember how much I wrote about it, but I had a few years where I could barely bit down on things, I got used to biting with one side of the mouth because the front and other side were too painful. Pretty stupid to go with it for that long. Now when I take a bite of an apple I find myself instinctively doing it with the side of my mouth because I got so used to it. Now I have to remind myself that I can biten ormally.
After that it was a brisk 35-40 minute walk to the goat place, so that counts as exercise, right?
And then the usual lovely time with the goats. We got an upgrade in the pen, but I’ll show you that later. And we had visiting kids. There’s a boy who’s really curious and asking a ton of questions about the goats and what I do. He’s really sweet. Eager to learn.
And then a walk home in the rain, which was quite refrehing.
And now it’s soup time, give the cavity filling a test run.

Jeanette was good to her word. We got a new, second, lock on the gate between the pens. Bella can’t knock that one open. You can tell by her facial expression that this is both mystifying and infuriating to her.
This should make it easier for me to get some alone time with Sky, without the big girls barging in and chasing her off.

I still had two of the shelf-boards from my old book shelf laying around. I never came up with something to do with them, so finally I just put them here. Next to the entrance to the goat house. I figured Sky might sit on them if the big girls were keeping her out. But here’s Luna using them to sit. So they work for that.

Got an hour fifty on the bike today. So I got that going for me. Tired legs from yesterday’s dental walk. And I wasn’t feeling very motivated. Just wanted to go back to bed. But I managed to get it done, so that’s good. Nearing the goal line. Looking forward to a plateful of tomatoes. Now I am become goat, devourer of tomatoes.
Last night we had some brilliant thundering outside. Is it louder in this apartment? Maybe I’m just imagining it. But it sounded loud. Rain against the window. Hopefully the sun will be back soon.

Got two hours on the bike today. So I got that going for me. Phew. Starting to feel pretty worn down. Hurting legs and tired and just achey. I thought I would have to cut my ‘trip’ short. But when I got to the toughest part, I started feeling a bit stronger so I pushed myself to keep going. Can’t remember the last time I managed to go two hours. It would have been years ago, if ever.
But quite worn down now. Good thing tomorrow is Sunday, a day to rest. I need that. Another week or two of working super hard and then I will start to scale it down a little. I glad I managed to turn things around after getting into the bad rollercoaster after my birthday. It’s been hard work, but I’m in much better shape now. Let’s hope I can hang on to it. It’s always going to be up and down, just have to not let it get too much up.
Looking forward to have cheese again. But tonight, tomatoes.

If you want to hear my impression of a cuckoo bird, watch this.
It’s kind of funny, I didn’t realise that my microphone is directional. So especially at the beginning of the video you pretty much can’t hear the bird, because it’s behind us. So I’m sitting there cuckooing in response to every cuckoo from the bird, but it sounds like I’m just making cuckoo noises to myself. Clearly Luna thought I had gone insane and thought it would be better to run away before I did something even crazier.

Bella, flat as a pancake again.
You can fight gravity, but in the end you will lose. Especially if you’re the tireddest goat in all of Denmark.

Btw, I see that Spencer Pratt is running for some political office, mayor?
I know his name because I’m such a big fan of The Soup. I have hundreds of old episodes and every time I eat a pot of soup, I watch an episode of The Soup. I have gone through all the episodes twice, when I’m done with them all I start over from the beginning because it makes me laugh so much.
If you don’t know what The Soup is, it was a show that basically mocked reality tv and pop culture. They would show clips from other tv shows and make fun of them.
And why do I know Spencer Pratt from The Soup? Because he was featured heavily. They relentlessly mocked and roasted him because he wasuch an awful awful reality tv personality.
Good thing we live in a world where awful ex reality tv people can’t get political power, am I right.
So, if you’re ellgible to vote in an election where Spencer Pratt is on the ballot, make sure you vote for EVERYONE ELSE. Yes, as we all know it’s easy to vote multiple times, and make sure all your illegal alien friends vote against him too. I mean both the human kind and the spaceship kind of aliens.
And since this is a bit of a political post, I guess I should also just say happy Pride. I will never in my life understand it when I see religious people posting anti Pride stuff. Way to completely miss the point of your religion. Imagine what Jesus would say to you if he saw you being unkind to people because of their sexuality or gender or whatever. If you have a problem with gay or trans people, or others not walking the straight and narrow, please feel free to vacate the prmises of my general vicinity. Don’t be unkind. Unless it’s to ex reality tv people, those you can take the absolutely pish out of.
Thanks, the concludes this political broadcast. I’ll go back to trying not to post political stuff again.

Gave my legs a break today and just sat around. Feels good man.
Got some computer work done. I finally got around to emailing the housing association. About my ventilation. Helle said they would contact me to make an appointment to come and look at it, but that was months ago now I think. I should have followed up sooner, but I’ve had stuff on my mind. And am avoidant.
But now I sent a mail, so we’ll see if they get back to me. It’s working okay to just have it completely blocked, but that’s not how it’s supposed to be. And especially on hotter summer days, it would be nice to have some airflow. Just not a storm going through the room. Hopefully they can do something about it. Or at least I can get an answer so I don’t have to think about it anymore. We’ll see.
Oh, and I’m back on the Pepsi. For now. After a few bottles last week, I stopped again. And then I did not lose any weight despite super hard work. So now I am theorizing that the caffeine is pretty important to me losing weight. I think my metabolism is kind of not in great shape. I starved myself too much when I had the big weight loss. And wasn’t cognisant of the protein I needed. I think that may be still affeecting. Anyway, I’m going back on Pepsi for a few weeks at least. Seeing if I can get that final push to lose a little more weight (without starving myself too much). I’d like to drop like 5 poudnds at least, but it’s oaky if I can’t. I’m at a pretty good weight now. I just would like to drop a little more, to have that buffer for when I start eating more casually. If I can I will, if I can’t it’s okay.
But dang, I love my sweet dark mistress. Pepsi flowing in my veins. I can live without it,I have proven to myself that I can do it. But I haven’t been able to prove to myself that quitting it makes a difference to my sleep. So. I’m not sure if I want to quit it again later. The next couple of weeks I’ll be chugging.
PS the first two episodes of the new Rick And Morty season have been better than all the episodes of the last season, in my opinion. Loving it so far.
