Cheer
Good goat times today. Ahh, much better. Back with my people feels good.
Glad I got out today. There is definitely something up with my throat. I am coughing more and more. But it’s not hurting and I’m feeling fairly okay. Other than the.. you know.. stuff. But good enough to get out and goat. A lovely day. Some clouds, but lots of sunshine. The temps reaching up to get just beyond 20C/68F. Which is quite a lovely summer’s day for Denmark.
The goats got some exercise today. Lots of running. I think they got scared. There was a young person, maybe a kid, who was walking by. And he was kind of making bleating noises. But I think he was developmentally challenged. And he was kind of just screaming loud bleat-ish noises. The boy, and the person he was with, just walked by the area, they didn’t come over to the goats. But it was enough to scare them. All three darted up on the hill to take a watchful position until the danger passed. But once the boy was gone, Bella and Luna started running around and butting heads and sprinting back and forth. Always fun when they start galloping about.
And a little later I goated Sky to do some sprinting too. So they all got some exercise. And after that, lots of sitting and relaxing in the sun.
Got a nice chat with Jeanette too. She was of course not happy to hear that I had another blackout. Or that my throat was bothering me. “You better not pass it to me” she said. She’s heading on vacation after this week, so we don’t want her getting sick. I wonder who I got it from? I mean. It must be grocery or cake/pizza delivery person, right? Because I haven’t seen any other people over the weekend.
Anyway, hopefully it won’t get too bad. I’m going to get me some soup now, that should fix me right up.
Not feeling super great in general, mentally either. But better with goating and soup.

I’m getting pretty tired of people calling me a Nepo Baby. For the last time, Lance Henriksen is not my father. I got the role of “gross belly bursting alien” on my own skills and talents.
So knock it off.

Guess what I ate today?
I could give you a hundred guesses, you probably wouldn’t get it.
I ate Cheerios. The breakfast cereal.
Now how did such a thing come to pass, you sure ask? Well, let me bore you with a long and detailed story leading up to this particular happenstance.
I didn’t actually buy Cheerios.
It all started on Friday *wibbly wobbly flashback transition*
I had a grocery order delivered. After unloading all the stuff, the driver told me that there was one box missing and he did not know where it was. He told me to call support about it. Alright. There was a fair bit of stuff missing. So I go to call support. It’s 9.30 am at this point. Their phone support doesn’t open till 10. I feel like their phone support should be open during the time they do deliveries (7 am to something pm) but okay. So I have to go on their website and engage the chat bot. Ugh I hate these newfangled chat bots on so many sites. I especially hate when you go to a site and there’s just an automatic chat bot window that opens asking if you need help. So pushy.
But, to be fair. I also very much hate talking on the phone. So a chat bot isn’t necessarily the worst option. I typed in my problem and it put me in a queue to talk to a real person. Only took a minute and then a real human was on the chat. And I told them the problem. And after a brief pause they said that yes, the driver could not locate the missing box. And they offered to refund the missing items and give me a discount code for my next order and would that be okay? And I didn’t see any other option really, so I said fine. And then I listed the stuff that was missing from the order.
NOW. Here is where I accidentally scammed the delivery site. Among the things I had ordered where five cartons of iced creams. Since their stock of Bee and Jays flavours is so incredibly limited, I wanted dto try out some other brands. So I had ordered 5. Now. After the driver had told me that stuff was missing, I had to get everything that WAS delivered moved in and put away so I could contact support. And in that whole rush and mental anguish I completely forgot that I had taken the plastic bag containing the iced creams and put them in my sink while I pulled in the other bags. (all the goods come in plastic bags in big boxes, the driver takes the bags out of the boxes and hands you the bags). So. In the confusion I told the support person that the iced creams were among the missing items. It wasn’t until AFTER the case was closed and my refund was processed (which admittedly happened quite fast, they do offer quite good support) that I realised that I actually had gotten the iced creams. They were still in my sink. At this point it was maybe 30-45 minutes later. The iced creams were a little defrosted maybe, but I put them in the freezer. I have tried a couple since then and they were okay, maybe a little of that ‘refrozen’ crystalization you get, but good enough to eat. So I got 5 tins of ice cream for free, by accident. Along ith the refunds for the stuff that was actually missing and the discount code.
At this point you’re probably asking yourself questions like “why am I still reading this garbage” and “WHAT ABOUT THE CHEERIOS YOU MFKKER”.
Yeah, not only was there stuff missing from my order. But I also got two big boxes of Cheerios. I did not order those. I don’t know why I got them. Maybe they were supposed to go to the person who got the stuff that was missing form MY order? I don’t know.
Anyway, I suppose I should have contacted the delivery site and told them I got those boxes wrongly. But honestly, they were the ones who messed this whole thing up. And because of the stuff I was missing, I had to put in an extra order for Saturday, which meant that most of my discount code was used on shipping and handling for that order. So. I figure the Cheerios was compensation for that. If they driver on Saturday has asked for them, I would have given them back. But he didn’t.
So that ‘s how we get to here. And me eating Cheerios.
I’m not really a breakfast cereal kinda guy. A few years ago I tried some different ones. I’m sure I wrote about it. I tried Corn Flakes amongst others. I do like them, but I just don’t eat cereal at breakfast. Most of the time I skip breakfast. I know that’s the nost the smartest. But when I do eat breakfast I usually just take some fruit, for a while I did proten bars. I know I’m a low-capacity baby, but the whole idea of getting milk and a bowl and all, I just don’t have the time and energy for that.
I also don’t drink milk. I know the milk mafia will tell you that you need to drink milk and humans have always drunk milk and it’s the natural order of things. I have barely had milk for a decade or more, and it’s fine. I take calcium supplements, along ith other stuff. It’s fine. Just because humans have always done it doesn’t mean humans always have to do it. Just because you can’t milk an almond doesn’t mean you have to abuse cows. Okay, I’ll get off my soapbox.
I do like milk. I just would rather not. One of my favourite sci-fi authors Becky Chambers had a funny bit in one of her books where a bunh of aliens where aghast that humans drink the milk from OTHER species. To them it was like gross and hilarious. I can see their point. In this day and age, you can leave the milk for the calf. Okay, off the soap box again.
So anyway. That was the too long story of the ice cream heist and the mysterious appearance of Cheerios.
They were pretty good, by the way. Milk and Cheerios. I likeed it. I could keep overeating that. But I won’t. I’m struggling enough to get my diet back under control and fighting self-destructive habits. Honestly, it’s not going great right now. Adding milk and sweet cereals would not help.
And that’s the end of that post. That oughta please the little SOBs.

Here’s a pretty unusual sight. Sky and Luna sitting that close? Doesn’t happen often. I am not sure how it happened. It Sky was sitting there and Luna started coming towards her, normally Sky would get up and retreat. I wouldn’t guess that she would walk over to there and sit if Luna was already sitting there either though. This was after a lot of running though, maybe they were just too tired to care about the politics.

Wishing a very happy birthday to my mother. She must have been good, because the sun is shining.
As my dad has had a proggressively harder time of things, mom has been even more helpful to me. I am lucky that I have parents that are so helpful with all my hardships. As I have talked about before, I am sure I have not always been an easy son.
But anyway. Mom and dad are downtown with her brother and his lady, and hopefully they are all having a good time with some good eating. Maybe I should have offered some Cheerios and a bowl of milk!
Happy birthday, mom. Thanks for everything.

Good goat times today. A lovely warm day with teh sun burning down on us. Felt good.
Jeanette’s last day before vacation. She’ll be gone for 3 weeks now. We’ll miss her. I always worry a little about the goats when she’s not around. But it should be fine, it always has been.
Lots of relaxing in the sun today. Got some lapgoat time with Sky. Bella and Luna did some running around. Some headbutting and treats. A couple of visitors, but I guess the neighbour school is still on vacation, so not as many kids running around as usual.
Good for the head to be with the goats. Am pretty tired now. I’m going to get out my good table spoon and serve me up some soup. Allez-yp.

Not quite sure how I’m feeling. My throat got worse overnight. But it feels better now. Still coughing a bit, feeling a bit groggy. But. Not that bad. Don’t think I have a fever or anytihng. So I’m probably fine.
Rib still hurting. Getting on my nerves. Maybe I should go back to the drawing board on that plan I had as a teenager to remove one of my ribs…
Sorry.
Still fighting to get back on track, still not doing great at it. I just want to sleep for a week or two. Maybe a good carbonite nap, la la.
One day a day. Follow that trail of m&m’s to get to the tub of bee and jays.

I started reading Billy West’s autobiography. This has to be one of the best examples of a case where having the author narrate the audiobook really enhances the experience. Of course you would expect as much when the author is one of our time’s most allcaimed voice-over artists. Even his base voice is just nice to listen to. I have never watched an episode of Ren & Stimpy. But Futurama is one of my most beloved shows. And basically listening to Fry narrate the book, that’s a treat. And of course he takes every chance to do voice tricks, making his own sound effects and if he writes about some favmous person then he imitates the voice. He talks about his childhood and then he does his own voice as a child.
Which does get a little dark when he goes on to write about the abuse he suffered…
But I love me some Billy West. I’m not too far into it, but if you’re a Billy fan then I highly recommend it.
Good news, everyone!

I had a grocery order delivered today.
Guess what I got?
Five boxes of Cheerios.
To be clear, five boxes of Cheerios that I did not order.
I don’t know what they’re up to, are they trying to get me addicted to Cheerios?!
Actually. I was also missing 5 bottles of Squash Sport sodas. So. I guess they gave me the Cheerios instead? I don’t know. Support chat said I could keep the Cheerios. I guess i’m going to need to order more milk!

Stocking up on sodas (in between all the Cheerios) this and next week. I HOPE the delivery situation will be okay after August 3rf, when they shut down the parking space outside my building. But I figure it can’t hurt to have a cache of sodas. If the delivery situation remains okay, well then I’ll be saving some money next month because I will need less deliveries. And if the delivery situation isn’t okay, then having a cache of sodas will help with the adjustment.
I am still pretty scared about it. Only likttle over a week to go.
Worried about the local package shop possibly closing down too, that might make it much harder for me to get my packages.
Yeah yeah yeah. Never nothing.
On a bright note, watched the first episode of Stuart Fails To SavE The Universe. And I really enjoyed it. I love that kind of mix of really dumb humour and really smart sci-fi. Okay maybe not dumb humour, but sort of goofy deadpan. I know a lot of people had problems with The Big Bang Theory, but I always liked it. And having minor characters from that show starring in a nerdy sci-fi comedy, good stuff for me.
Looking forward to seeing more realities. Better than this reality.

In case you think I was making it up about the Cheerios, here are four boxes of Cheerios. I opened one yesterday to snack on. But yeah, I’m the mayor of Cheerioville. The king of Cheerio Town. The emperor of… Cheerio.. place.

It’s been a week. It sure has. Not a great one. Still not feeling great. Rib pain. Back pain. Coughing. Mental struggles. Continued bad decisions.
But hey, lots of Cheerios!
I will try to do better next week, on the things that are within my power to affect. Words are easy, it’s just arranging them in the right sequence that is sometimes. Difficult?
Anyway, let’s attack the future headfirst. Give it a good headbutting.
