I Goat Therefore I Am (Happy)
Not the best of days today. Some troubles with the computer and internet. It made me depressed and repeatedly go back to bed. That’s the downside to this small appartment. Sitting here at the computer I can just turn my head and there is the bed, soft and tempting. I know I should not go there, it only makes me more tired and feel worse about myself and life in general. Still, it is so sweet to slip away into dreams…
Oh well. If I can’t sleep tonight then maybe I’ll get started on that Lord Of The Rings DVD marathon that I have been contemplating. I finished Unfinished Tales last night and am going to start the Silmarillion tonight. I am in a Tolkien mood. And although the three extended films will last about 38.4 hours I still feel like watching them. Sometime soon.
Had visitation today. It went mostly okay. This time we stayed in because he had some forms that we needed to go over and fill out. He brought cake, which was very nice of him. Of course it meant I had to deal with plates and forks and did I have coffee or tea and all sorts of simple things that are anxiety provoking for me nonetheless. I am not used to entertaining people. Well, apart from when I dress up in a clown suit and juggle tomatoes. But that’s like almost never.
I am looking forward to seeing the goats tomorrow. I feel a big need for some goatziness. They should put that in the dictionary. If “bling” is a word then so is goatziness.

Plumey: you’ve got friends coming out of the woodwork it seems! Hi, Jane.
Well I’m glad to hear you are practicing serving refreshments to your “visitator”. That way when we all show up for the playground tour, you will be at ease serving us tea and cakes! ha, ha! Mads will want to be served something yummy as well.
*Dress up in a clown suit and juggle tomatoes* now you are beginning to sound like our English friend, Stu! Although I’ve not heard Stu say anything about juggling tomatoes. I do know how he feels about clowns and it’s not all warm and fuzzy.
6. (Definition of goatziness) – when a goat hops, leaps, spins, flips, and turns in the air for no apparent reason. As in: “What is that silly goat doing? It’s just the goatziness coming out in him.”

It’s dyscalculia, isn’t it?
I saw the most cutest little kitten yesterday, hiding behind a pot plant and jumping on her big brother and tumbling about. I got all goose bumbly and teary eyed. Wish you could have seen it and you would have most certainly whisked her away;) Photos to follow as soon as I find the g****** lead for the computer again.
I seem to lose everything at the moment. Hm. But I haven’t lost hope that Lana will have a good home and grow old and grey with the best owner in the world;)

jane – milady Jane, it’s good to hear from you again! And exciting times ahead. I shall look forward to the postcards, and news of the new little one. Exciting!
Debster – How did you know that Jane lives in Woodswork, MA? That’s creepy, you must have seventh sense! Your sixth being the ability to sense when people are making spaghetti nearby. Hmm maybe I’m being a little silly now.
Note to self: stock up on tea and cakes.
Note to plume from Mads: stock up on raisins and nuts.
Desiree – That sounds plausible. Let’s say it’s so.
I look forward to those photos! I must sit down and make a decision soon. Maybe those photos will help me, you never know!
