Tinner

Today will be a good day. Happy Mio Monday everyone.
I dreamt about Mio last night. In the dream I woke up in bed and there was something big lying next to me under a bunch of blankets. I uncovered the blankets and there was big ole grandma. Lots of hugs and cuddles proceeded. I wasn’t sure if it was real or not, because my eyesight was really bad. Normally in my dreams my eyesight is perfect or just not something that occurs to me. In this dream I was asking myself if it could be real, if Mio had really come back to me. But for a minute I thought it might be real because my vision was as bad as it is in real life, the same blind stripe down across my seeing eye. I wish it had been real, but I’m glad she visited me in dreams at least.

Other than the wonderful Mio dream I actually didn’t have the best night last night. First off I ate too much soup. I was bloated and had something like heartburn or whatever and had to make several stops to the bathroom. That one’s on me, I regret nothing. But I also had a bout of tinnitus. I have had it before in short spells. Like a loud tone in my ear that usually disappears almost right away. It hasn’t happened often, but maybe once or twice every 2-3 months. But last night I got both the higher tone I’ve had before and a sort of lower note one. And they didn’t go away. And I was lying in my bed thinking I just wanted to die because it was so uncomfortable. I managed to fall asleep and I had some kind of high-speed chase dream, I don’t know if the tinnitus affected that. But I woke up and the noise was still in my head. I did a soup deposit run to the toilet and went back to bed. And eventually managed to fall asleep again. And I woke up later in the night and the tinnitus tone was gone. At least the low one, which was the really uncomfortable one. I have to sleep with earplugs because I’m sensitive to noise and there’s always noise in the my neighbourhood. Even at night it’s not uncommon for me to hear music or television from somewhere else in the building. And the elephant younglings upstairs usually start dancing and howling around 6 am. The earplugs help against outward noises, but they can sort of amplify your inner noises. Like your heartbeat and stuff. Anyway I’m rambling. Thankfully the tinnitus noise seems gone. I hope it doesn’t come back. I feel bad for people who have to live with that. I guess you have to manage it with ambient noise and things like that, to drown it out.
Anyway. I had planned to go see the goats this morning but when I woke up in the morning I was feeling even more tired and depressed and I rolled over and stayed in bed. My mental state hasn’t been the best lately with everything going on.
Aaanyway, I’m going to go repeat prior mistakes and eat way too much soup. Why? Because it’s there.

On a brighter note, boy I love me some soup. I have enough for one more serving tomorrow. And it’s only because I’m completely physically full that I don’t just eat it all right now. Mmm.

Good goat times today. Managed to get out and get some goat therapy. Good for the soul.
It was a grey and muddy morning. But later on the sun actually came out. I got a little bit of time with blue skies and sun. feels like it’s been months since the last time that happened. I look forward to spring with lots of sunshine and dry ground, hooves crossed.
We had several groups of sweet visitors at the fence too. Some anti-Keikoers. “I don’t want to look at their butts!” one kid say. And we got a few “eww they’re pooping” cries. Ah well, at least they got to pet the goats a little, the ones I managed to lure over to the fence.
Now I think I’ll finish off the last of the soup and get ny belly up to goatsize.

I’m sad that I don’t have anymore soup. The tragedy of soup is that it doesn’t live as long as its owner. Wait, that’s pets. Well, soup too.
I wish I had an everlasting soup fountain. Where’s my cursed monkey paw?!
Mmm, curse monkey paw soup.

Watched the finale of the Book Of Boba Fett.
Some thoughts

Unleash the rancor! Haha. I did not see that coming. When its claws came over the rooftops I was thinking “what the fffff” and then I realised it was the rancor. King Kong vs Robots!
I didn’t talk about the previous episode because of the personal stuff going on when it came out. But I just want to mention that I absolutely loved seeing Luke and Grogu. And Ahsoka. And Cobb Vanth! Oh you know I love cobb Vanth. I really wish they’d give him his own show. Sheriff Of Free Town. I gather Olyphant has previously starred in western themed shows, I may have to seek them out and then just pretend it’s a Tatooine western instead of America.
I loved the finaly. I know that Twilek majordomo isn’t as furry as the jawas, but I hope him and Amy Sedaris shack up and live happily ever after. And Grogu with the rancor. Omygosh. For a second I wondered if he’d try to eat the rancor, I mean it’s a big rancor but you know Grogu has an appetite. It was so sweet when they napped together. And Cad Bane. If you watched the CLone Wars and other animated shows you know him showing up was a pretty big deal. They did him very well in live action. I wonder if he’s dead dead or if he’s tv show dead. I was worried Cobb Vanth was dead too but thankfully they showed him in the bacta tank at the end. Not much hope for the gamorreans I guess tho…
Anyway. I really enjoyed the finale, and the show as a whole. As I have said many times, all the Tatooine stuff is just really what I love. And the how delivered so much of that. Perfectly. I can understand why big Boba fans might be a little disappointed. Two episodes he wasn’t even in it and the others it was sometimes a little hard to figure out what his motivation was, why he’d even want to take Jabba’s place and what the point of it all really was. If you’re a big Boba fan I can see why it might not have been satisfying all of it. But it was satisfying to me. The only thing that didn’t really click for me was the mod kids. I liked them okay but their introduction didn’t work for me. ‘Oh you got nothing to do, well you do now come work for me”. It didn’t really seem convincing. I was also a little bummed that the tuskens got wiped out, because their big episode where Boba was accepted into the tribe was some of my favourite stuff. Of course it was, expanding on Tatooine and Tusken lore, exactly what I wanted. Banthas. Yeah budddy,
So thumbs up from me. I hope we get more adventures of Fennec and Boba. And heck all the other characters. Just get me Tatooine; The Show.
At least we got more Tatooine coming May 25th when Kenobi starts. I’m looking forward to that!
Did they change the song at the end? I swear in the previous episodes I never heard the words Boba Fett but this time it sounded like dum dum boba fett boba fett dum dum boba boba FETT dum dum dum FETT. I liked the music, just like I did with the Mandalorian. It’s different from John Williams but I think it’s cool.
So anyway, it’s 4 am and that’s my Star Wars post. dum dum boba FETT boba FETT dum dum
Oh and Gonk droid. I will never get tired of Gonk Droid.

Does Sassy want a biscuit?
No. Sassy doesn’t want a biscuit. It’s going to be my new mission in life to get Sassy to taste the biscuits. I know if she just tries them she’ll like them. What goats don’t like baked goods?! She’s a funny old lady, she doesn’t like unfamiliar foods a lot of the time. That old wives tale about goats eating everything? Definitely not Sassy.

The most popular post on Mia’s page in 2021. 1.8 million views. I was scrolling through the comments, loading more and more and the page buckling under the pressure when my facebook profile got closed. I still don’t know if those two things were connected or it was just a random coincidence. But it’s a fun video in any case.

Good goat times today. I managed to get out. I had wanted to go yesterday, but the depression kept me in. I had to go and make sure that everything was okay after the big storm over the weekend, though. I was a teensy bit worried about the goat house, it’s not the most sturdy of things out there on stilts in the wind. But thankfully there was no storm damage that I could see. And the goats were good. Not happy with the weather, though. The storm has passed but it was cold and snowing this morning. The ground was slowly turning white, but then the snow turned to rain. Even worse, said the goats! Thankfully there was barely any wind so it didn’t feel too bad for the human. But we did spend most of the time in the stitled goat house. And I did my best to keep it so everyone could be in there. Sassy decided to spend a lot of time on her he own in the shelter instead, and little Sky had to retreat to her safe space underneath the house. Oh and Lily spent a good deal of time snifing Mia’s rear. She wasn’t all snorting and grunting, but she was sort of lowly brumming and humming. Mia mostly ignored her. An occasion objectioning whinny and one or two headbutts. Mia may be an old goat but I guess she’s still got some hormonal signals. It always seems to be her that Lily focussing on when she gets in her moods. Maybe it’s just because Mia’s butt is up higher than the other goats, right in the line of fire haha. Silly goaties.

Hey, Cowzilla survived the storm! I was a little worried he could have been blown away. But he remains steadfast in the goat pen.

I’m still a little in shock that our pumpkin seed video got 1.8 million views. More people have watched that video than have watched Spiderman No Way Home!
Now, that’s not true. But it would be pretty crazy if it was.

Just completed a rewatch of Rick & Morty season 5. And you know what? When it originally aired I felt it was kind of weak. But on rewatching, I like the season considerably more. There are some really great RM style ideas, there are some big emotional hitters and a lot of fun. There’s one really big clunker. And if you watched season 5 you can probably guess which one I mean. It’s the dinosaur semen one. That’s the one. But even that one, it’s so crazy and weird that I ain’t even mad about it. I’m sitting there thinking ‘what did I just watch, how did they get away with that, what were they thinking?!’. It’s so out there that I kinda appreciate it.
Anyway. That’s my review of Rick & Morty. At its best there’s not much better.

Well, I got some bad news.
I have talked before about my dad’s problems with his memory and those things. And now we have found out that he has some kind of the beginnings of dementia. I’m not sure exactly how far along he is. He’s still functioning fairly well. I just talked to him on the phone and he told me about some of the things that are getting harder for him. Like the charity store where he helps, they’re having to find someone to take over the accounting that he does. And other things. He’s going to be called in to the ‘dementia clinic’ or whatever it’s called. So he can start getting the help he needs and diagnosed and all that. That’s the fucking thing about dementia. You know it’s only going to get worse. It’s like my eyes. I know I will never be able to see more, it’s just a matter of time before I see less. And then to have that with your mind. It’s terrifying. When you see how uncle Jens was affected by the alzheimers and his recent death. It’s scary and heartbreaking to think of my dad going that route. And it’s scary when I notice my own memory problems. I’m sure this thing runs in the family.
And you feel so powerless. Like punching blankets on a washing line. It’s a fight you can’t win.
I have depended on my dad’s help a lot through my hard times. Taking me to the hospital late at night while the pressure in my eyes was killing me. He’s gone above and beyond, whatever I needed. I wish I could do the same for him. He was talking about how he still wanted to get out and do things, like going to Copenhagen periodically (to visit Jens’ grave among other things) and how he might begin to have a hard time finding his way. And I wish I could go with him and help him find his way, but the truth is I still turn to him when I have a hard time finding my way in unfamiliar places. There’s not a lot I can do. Other than try to be there as much as I can. I’m not really good at that. But we’ll try. Hopefully he will still have good years left. Who knows how it will progress. I’d give him the rest of my life if I could, I’m not doing a lot with mine. But there you are. We’ll do our best and see where we end up.

Thank you for being my support system here, faceboxers.

Thank you everyone for sharing your love, sympathy and stories. It’s scary how many lives are touched by dementia and the likes. Directly and indirectly.
Thanks for all your thoughts.

Once again, thank you everyone for all the love. I’m okay, just trying not to think too much about things. Live in the moment, try not to worry about the future. And so on and so forth.

Good soup times today. It’s always a good day for soup. With the parents and brother. And a pot of soup. And now soup in the fridge for a few days.
Thank you again everybody for your comments about my dad. We appreciate it. Sorry I didn’t reply to everyone individually. There was a ton of comments and I’m not in the most chatty mood. But we really appreciate it. I am glad I have people who care and who will listen and offer support. You’re the metaphorical soup for my deep bottomless heart/stomach.
