Well I did it. I logged into Facebox on my smartphone. It took me literally 10-15 minutes to enter my password. Mainly because i could not find the full stop. The period. The forking joys of being blind. Operating a smartphone with a magnifying glass and fat fingers. Fork it.
I got access to posting on Mia’s page back. BUT. They said somethinga bout my information being in review and that it could take up to 2 weeks. I can post while they’re reviewing it. The question is, are they expecting me to use the fb app on my phone for those two weeks? Because that’s not going to happen. Literally not possible, no chance. If that’s what’s going to happen then the page will be ending. But I guess we’ll see. Maybe they logged my location during those minutes and that’ll be enough.
I am not feeling optimistic though. i have a feeling Mia’s page may be ending. They want to keep tabs on my location and I just can’t use that phone.
But we’ll see. We’ll see. We’ll see. At least I managed these steps. Managed to get my sim card from the other phone into the smartphone. Managed to connect to a network, Managed to launch the app. Managed to log in. Managed to find the settings. Managed to start the process.
Sigh. We’ll see. I hate this dystopian present we live in.
Let’s just hope I don’t lose my personal account for logging in multiple places and networks and whatnot. That’d be a kicker.
It’s 4 pm, I’m going to bed soon.

Oh yeah, and congratulaziones to Italy for winning the European Championship in ballsport. You might recall early on I said my money was on Belgium or Italy. Guess I should have put some real money on that.
Italy was the best team of the tournament, and given Denmark’s somewhat problematic experience with England in the semis, I can’t say I’m sad they lost the final. Denmark has still won more european championships than England, which is pretty crazy when you think about it!
Still, I do love England. Growing up, England and America is where a lot of my mind and heart was, that’s the pop culture that shaped me. The pythons, rik & ade, the premier league, star wars books imported from britain and so on and so on.
Too bad you brexited, which is going to cost me 50% more on the new shoes I ordered because I didn’t realise the seller on german amazon was from the uk and we no longer have free trade with you grumph.
Anyway, up yer balls.

Good goat times today. A hot one. Upwards of 26C/79F. And a humid heat at that, a little much for my liking. But I’m still glad it’s summer.
A good day to sit around and do nothing. So of course I got up and did some weed whacking. Oh dear. Trying to get those stinging nettles out. Little by little.
Oh and I met and old friend today. I don’t know if any of you remember him from the old playground. I think I used to call him, affectionately, Crazy Chicken Guy. He wasn’t around too often, so he may not ring a bell to you all. But he’s a nice guy. He used to come around to the old playground and he’d walk around with the chickens and he’d go ‘bok bok bok’ with them and I’m pretty sure he bought eggs. Haven’t seen him since we mofved away from the old playground. Well today he suddenly came pulling a bike past the fence of the goat pen. Haha. He called out to me. “Do you remember me?!”. I did! Long time no see. That was unexpected! Je asked if we have chickens here at the new place. I told him he’d have to go ask. I know we’ve had them, but I haven’t heard or seen any of the feathery fowls for a long time. I’m not sure if they’re staying in a new place after some of the construction and changes that’s been done. Or if we just don’t have any anymore. Anyway, good to see him again!

This is the After picture. Unfortunately I had so much dust on my lens that the Before pictures was too blurry to post. But the Before picture was Sassy, Lily and Nuller sitting in the shelter. The After picture is Mia sitting in her spot after she pushed Lily and Nuller out of it. Still no doubt who is in charge here.
At least she let Sassy stay in the shelter with he.

This was supposed to be a video of the goats looking and bleating after me as I fetched fresh water. Lily had other ideas, so I ended up with five minutes of footage of the wall. Still love Milo’s loud bleats. He’s always the loudest when I go.

Good goat times today. Another hot one. Upwards of 30/86 again. Phew. Days like this I almost regret always wearing heavy cargo pants all the time…
It’s a little too much for an out of shape polar boy like myself. Thankfully there’s that really good spot in the goat pen, sitting up against the wall and the barrier in the shelter. Perfectly in shade and with a little breeze. Every now and then I had to retreat to there to cool down. Managed to finish off a half litre of iced Pepsi Max and I even stole a bit of one of the apples I brought for the goats. Hadn’t had breakfast so I needed a little bit. Mia was looking at me like “What… the .. actual…F#%#¤&”. They don’t usually see me eating their stuff! She forgave me though since I brought enough for the whole class.
Got a little visit from Heino the barn kitty too. Suddenly jumping up on roof of the goat shelter. I was sitting on the bench. Heino meowed at me and I meowed back. He jumped off the shelter and started coming towards me while meowing. Until Mia stapped between us like “Nuh uh, this here is goat territory, son”. I did manage to get up give him a few cuddles, he seemed friendlier today than usual. Sweet kitty.
Now I’ve had a nice cold shower and maybe I’ll have some koldskål for dinner, as is tradition when it’s hot in Denmark.

It’s so hot. I don’t know how you Americans do this stuff.
I ordered pizza to medicate my feelings, but it’s almost too hot. Do people who live in hot areas actually eat warm food? In Denmark we only eat koldskål when it gets hot. If we lived in America we’d never eat hot meals.
Maybe we should rethink this whole global warming thing.

Good goat times today. Hot and humid. But at least I made it home before the rain started coming down. Literally, opening my windows 2 minutes after getting inside and I heard the rain start falling.
But dry with the goats. Good weather to sit around and do nothing. Although I did do some weed whacking. Probably not smart with my sternum thing. Oh well. I’ve told you about the brændenælder right? The weeds that burn your skin. I wanted to get rid of some of them. I found a stick that was good for it, split into two at the end. I could twist the weeds around with it and pull them out. And of course Milo was an excellent help, by following me around and trying to duel his horns on the stick. Good job, team. My arms are probably going to be sore tomorrow. The painkillers helped a bit with the sternum, though. So I could walk around without too much pain.
The newbs had a big row. Nuller was challenging Sassy, and she was laying down the law with some heavy headbutting. And then Lily tried to come in to protect her boy, not that she was that great at it. She was sort of third weel in that fight. When they were done Nuller came over to me, panting from the exertion in the humid heat. Settle down kids!

Sassy’s laying down the law. I imagine at some point Nuller is going to oust her and take the crown, but not today kid.

Just a staring contest, definitely not a distraction while Milo picks your pocket.

Uh oh, Milo spotted the camera.
The best way to get him away from the camera is to pat my treat pocket. Treats will lure him away. The downside to that is, if everoyne else realises there may be treats given out then they storm over and then it’s just a big mess of hungry goats.

Good goat times today. A little shorter than usual, the reasons for which I’ll go into later.
A hot day. One that pretty quickly turned into “okay let’s just sit around and do nothing”. Like the best summerdays.
Funniest moment was when Mia was sitting in the shetler, up against the right wall and the barrier as she likes. And Nuller and Sassy were sitting in the left of the shelter. Everything was peaceful for a bit. Then Mia slowly got up and took a few steps over to Sassy and started pushing her. Sassy got the point and got up and ran out of the shelter. Nuller was still sitting there, looking upat Mia like “So can’t I still stay here or…?”. Then Mia took a step towards him and he was like “welp guess not, seeya!” and he got up and ran out. And then Mia stepped back to her spot and sat back down and resumed chewing her cud like nothing had happened. And now of course there was opened up space for Milo and Sky to come in and sit with her in the shelter, which they did. They wouldn’t have gone in there with Sassy sitting there. But there’s no doubt who’s in charge. It’s good to be queen.

Who’s got two thumbs and got jabbed with a needle today?
This guy!
Yes, I got my first shot of the vaccine today.
Long overdue. I was invited to get it like 2-3 weeks ago I think. But the website where you had to register was not working properly. I couldn’t log in. Only later, through random reddit post, did I find out that apparently you had to have previously logged in on a completely different website (one where you got corona test results) otherwise you could not log in on the vaccine site.
I have to say, I think it’s astonishing that in a global pandemic where the government is urging the population to get vaccinated as quickly as possible, the forknuts can’t design a website that works. I’m sure it works on mobile…
Anyway. Because of everything that’s been going on, I just did not have the surplus to start trying to figure out why I couldn’t log in and get a date for a vaccinatino. So I pushed it off. In the end, that may actually have been for the better. If I’d booked a time on that dumb site I probably would have had to go downtown to the facilities there. Somewhere unfamiliar and not nearby. Instead. Yesterday I got a text message from the housing org (yes, the one that’s going to forcibly rehome me potentially) saying that you’d be able to get the vaccine in our neighbourhood today and tomorrow. So I literally only had a two minute walk to the place where I got the vaccine. That was pretty handy.
I live in one of the neighbourhoods where there has been high infection rates, and low vaccination rates. It’s a place with a lot of immigrants and refugees and low-status individuals, like myself, who for various reasons might be less likely to get the vaccine. So they set up a station in the neighbourhood to help more people get it done. Pretty good, I think.
My dad came over and helped me get there and find my way. The staff was super helpful and nice, they probably would have helped me fine if I was on my own, but I feel more secure with my dad there to help me find my way around. And he’s always, always, so happy to come and help. He also kind of pushed a little for me to get ahead in the waiting line because I’m handicapped. My dad and mom both got that done for them when they got theirs done. So I got through it all a little quicker. And as I said, everyone was super helpful and nice. Really, the worst part was sitting and waiting for 15 minutes afterwards to make sure there was no allergic reaction. Sitting there for 15 minutes in a romm with other people, truly I have felt suffering upon my soul! Somehow I got through.
Thank you dad and thank you all the doctors and nurses and volunteers and everyone. Not I just need another prick in a month’s time. Ahem.
Went to see the goats afterwards. I felt fine when I was there, but when it was time to go home I started feeling really tired. Like, so tired I started wondering if I could make it to the bus. I don’t know if that was a reaction from the vaccine, I know it can hit different people in different ways. Although as far as I can read, it’s usually worse after the second jab. But maybe it was psychosomatic. Or maybe it was the sternum thing combined with the fairly hot humid weather, and maybe also the stress of having been out among humanpeople in an unfamiliar situation. I don’t have a lot of capacity to deal with stuff.
When I got home I sat down for five minutes and gathered some strength. Then I went shopping. That went ok, I was already feeling better. Although still more tired than I’d usual be, I think. But right now, sitting at the computer, I’m feeling fine.
And I bought Star Wars icy creams. Hey, I was out around humans and I got stuck with a needle and I walked in the sun. I deserve Star Wars icy creams.
Hope you’re all doing well out there, corona wise and other wise. I recommend getting the vaccination if you can. I can’t wait till I get the second shot and I can finally start licking people again! Form a line! You too, ladies.
If you read all this, I’m so sorry. There’s no vaccination against the ramblings of a mad goatman.

I told you, I don’t want to talk about sports! You Americans need to stop being so obsessed with soccer!!!
Sigh. Ok. End of the road for Denmark. We took England all the way to extra time. Lost to a penalty. Had a man injured when we were out of substitutions. England had the home advantage, Denmark had to travel from Azerbaiforkingjan. It was stacked against us. But England was best, no doubt.
Our team has done us proud. After a horrible scary start. A semi-final is a rare thing for a tiny country like us. England is one of the biggest teams. Denmark is one of the biggest of the small teams. And that’s how the news goes.
It’s only footballsoccersports. Life goes on, for Eriksen thankfully.

My arm is pretty sore, but my sternum seems better, so that’s nice.
Also I’m really looking forward to Denmark’s seminfinal against England in the soccersports. I’m not sure when it’s going to be played, for some reason I seem to have forgotten everything in my head about that game so I can only assume it must be coming up real soon.

Had some great dreams last night. Dreams in dreams. I woke up marvelling at how vivid my dream had been, not realising that I was still dreaming. The best part was that Palle lived in a secret attic above me, with one of those fold-down ladders. So I got to hug Palle. That’s always the best part of dreaming, when you get to spend time with those you miss..
in other news. looks like I’ll have to dig up the new smartphone and see if I can get the fb app to work. See if I can confirm my location. I don’t know, I’m tired of all this. Maybe I’ll stop using the page and use a group instead, even though it will be worse. Or maybe I’ll just stop goatposting alltogether, and if you believe that I haven an eiffel towers to sell you.
I still also can’t type comments on here, the cursor jumps around and it gets all garbled. I have to go type a comment in a text editor and copy it into facebook instead, which makes it really hard to socialize on here, which I’m already bad at. Sigh.

Don’t forget, we are temporary. We are farts fleeting in the wind. Toot toot and you’re gone. Maybe the smell will linger for a while, but sooner or later someone will scatch’n’sniff you away.
What I’m trying to say is, enjoy the moment while it’s here. And use air freshener.
