Still Becoming Apartment

Not feeling super great. For a couple of reasons. The sternum thing is starting to act up. It’s not too bad, nowhere near as bad as the bruised ribs of the past. But I’m starting to feel it more and more. Uncomfortableness in the chest, some pain sometimes when using my arm and moving around in certain ways. It’s not really bad, just making me feel kind of uncomfortable in my skin.
Worse is, I’m being kicked out of my apartment.
Eventually. Not right now. But in the next couple of years, I guess. There’s a huge renovation plan going on in my neighbourhood, it’s been going for years and it will be going for years. Some of the apartment blocks are being torn down. I thought I was safe becauses my building won’t be torn down. But it turns out the renovations they will be doing in my building will mean that my apartment will.. no longer be an apartment. I got a small apartment and those are being phased out. So. I’m going to be ‘permanently rehoused’.
It’s just kind of causing me some severe stress and anxiety. I feel like I can’t deal with that. I moved here long ago, before my eyesight went away. The only time I have ever moved, at least without being with my family. I don’t know how to deal with all this. I just don’t want to. Grr argh.
The plan has always been that I was going to move up to the neighbourhood where my brother lives. So we could live closer together and help each other out easier. But I don’t even know if I can do that, I’m on disability and in this ‘ghetto’ areas there are limits on which people can move into those areas now. To class up the hoods. So I might only be able to move to another apartment in one of the neighbourhoods managed by my current housing org. So now I have to look into that. And you know me, I can’t not worry. I worry too much about everything.
Well we’ll see. The papers I got said I’ll be notified 9 months before my lease will be terminated, at the latest. And I think I read that the renovations in my building will be in 2023. So. I might have a year or two. I don’t know. I gotta get in touch with the contact person from the housing org that’s assigned to helping me through all this. Which means I have to talk to humans and deal with real life and you know how I feel about that. It ain’t right, I don’t want to, you can’t make me, I need some pizza.
Sigh. So I just feel uncomfortable in body and mind right now. I just want to sleep until it all goes away. I dreamt about baby goats last night. See, that’s what i can handle.
Anyway sorry for blabbering on. Rest assured you’ll probably be hearing a lot more complaints about all of this as time goes on. Cheers.

It’s a good thing I got goats. And you all. Thank you.

In other news, I am embarking on a David Bowie journey.
I have always had a tremendous amout of respect for him, but I have never actually listened to an entire David Bowie album. Funnily enough, and I know true Bowie fans will probably be appalled, but I loved him mainly for his role in The Labyrinth. I loooove the Labyrinth. When it first came out I didn’t really have any concept of who Bowie was as a musician. But anyway yeah, I have only ever really known his big hits, and loved several of them. And for some reason, The Heart’s Filthy Lesson. I am not sure if that was a big hit or not, but for some reason that song has stuck with me since seeing the music video on Puls, a Danish youth programme from back in the day. If there was only something between us.. I still sing that line in my head on a regular basis.
But anyway yeah. I got his entire discography. So I’m just going to listen to it all. I’m going to do what I do when I get a new album from one of my favourite artists. Listen to it over and over, sink into it, get to know it and hopefully love it. It’s a little late to become a Bowie fan, but I feel like it’s something I was meant to be. So, better late than never I suppose.
What would life be without music? Awfully quiet, for a starter.

Good goat times today. Great to be with the goaties again. Although it was a bit of a rough day. The goats are fine. i’m starting to feel the sternum pain, though. It was a hot day. Upwards of 25C/77F. I know that’s not much compared to what some of my friends are going through. But for me that’s quite a lot. And that thing I said I was worried about, that it might start to hurt to breathe. Well that’s started happening. When I take deep breaths or physically exerting myself. Like walking in the sun. It’s not an unbearable pain, but it’s just an uncomfortable pain that makes it hard to breathe normally. And when I went shopping after the goating and lugged home about 7 litres of soda plus groceries, well that nearly killed me. AND I’M NOT BEING OVERLY DRAMATIC. Well, I’ve popped some painkillers, hopefully that will help. I might have to take a little break. I just feel quite off-balance mentally and physically speaking.
At least Mia is doing great. Seems to be all back to normal. And we had nice visitors at the fence that I helped get some goat time. And Nala the barn kitty dropped by, sat on the shelter roof and watched the goats for a bit before running off, probably in pursuit of rats or the like.
It’s always better with the goats than without.
Got some other stuff to discuss, but I need to drink about 7 litres of chilled Pepsi Max before I keel over and they haul me off to the looney bin, hee hee, haaa haaa.

Always better with you.

Alright. Other things to note.
First off. I have lost access to posting on Mia’s page. Yup. When it rains it sharts. So that’s great. Coincidentally I noticed that hte page reach for the last month was just above one million. It’s pretty cool that our posts have had a one million reach in a month. But I wonder if that’s what causes the problem. The prompts to authorise page posting says taht it’s something they do on popular pages. I guess it would make sense if it happens one pages that reach more than a million people. And maybe that’s why it fixed itself the first two times it happened. Becauase I couldn’t post anymore, the page reach started going down. And then went below a million and I didn’t have to complete the authorisation anymore. That would make sense to me.
Anyway. I’m going to wait a few days and see. It sucks that I won’t be able to post on Mia’s page. But hopefully not posting will mean the reach will fall and the problem will go away again, for now. I hope. I just. Can’t. Deal with. Having to get that forking smartphone out and use it. I’m running on fumes as it is. So. No posts on Mia’s page for a few days probably.
In other news, someone outside my aprtment was playing music so loudly I couldn’t even hear my own tv in here. Luckily it has stopped. Hopefully it won’t start again. Worst thing is, one of the song they played was some macarena version. Gosh darndit, I’ll have that stuff in my head for a year.
Speaking of my apartment, I got a notice in the mailbox that the residents in my neighbourhood has voted down the plan to renovate our area. So. Does that mean I won’t be kicked out? I don’t know. I’m probably not that lucky. I think the politicians of our city are very determined to carry the plans out. I don’t think the residents actually have the power to stop it. But I don’t know exactly what it will mean now. Funnily enough, i knew the vote was going on but I thought to myself I thought “eh, my vote ain’t gonna make a difference, no reason to force myself out into the real world among humanpeoples for nothing”. The vote was decided by a difference of about 20. So yeah, I probably should have gone and voted. But hey, the no won and that’s what I wanted. I’m getting ready to write a mail one of the coming days to my contact person in the housing org, and I guess the first question on the list will be “What does this mean, is the plan dead, can I stay here?”. As I said, I expect it won’t be that easy. At best maybe a delay. But even if they end up not tearing down buildings, I’m pretty sure they’ll still want to carry out renovations. The question would then be if they still want to do away with the types of apartments that I live in.
I don’t know man I don’t know I just don’t know man. I feel like I can’t deal with all this shirt.
May take the rest of the week off to just sleep. Hibernation fixes all problems, right?
Sorry about all the complaining. But it’s kinda what I do. I know the smart thing would be to go to the doctor about my sternum too. But you know me. I don’t go until it’s fallen off. We’ll see. We’ll see.

My facebox is doing a weird thing when I reply to comments. While I’m in the middle of typing the cursor starts jumping back. It makes it literally impssible to type a comment because the letters get mixed up in random places. Weird.
Other than that, I still can’t post on Mia’s page and my chest hurts, hooray.
At least I have pizza.

Good goat times today. Things seem good. If I didn’t know that Mia had been sick last week, I probably wouldn’t have guessed it now. She seems pretty much back to her normal self. Running for the chance of treats, shoving others out of the way, giving me smooches and her paw for scritches and just generally present and full of the goat spirit. Just how we like it. Hopefully there won’t be any setbacks or anything, but I think we’re good. I didn’t let her have any pasta yet, but I did slip her a few raisins. Smaller and easiler digestible. A little raisin may not fill a lot in a big goat tummy, but it still gives off that ‘ooh he’s giving me a treat’ endorphin rush i think. And I got them some greens too.
The weather cooled down as well. Comfortably cool. Some rainshowers, but not too heavy. I decided to walk the walk home in the light summer rain. Feels good man. Here’s hoping we’ll have a good rest of the summer. I gotta try and see if I can ask if maybe it possibly is ok for me to maybe take the goats out of the pen again. I don’t think I will be allowed to do it anymore, but can’t hurt to ask. I do miss that.

Wow. I know most of you don’t care about the soccerballs, but I just gotta write this out and get it out of my system.
Denmark just beat Russia 4-1 and we are through to the knockout stages in the European Championship. What a crazy crazy crazy insanen tournament it has been so far for Denmark. It started with LITERALLY one of our players dying on the field. More or less forced to play the game we lost to Finland. Then the next game against Belgium we got off to a great start. Went ahead 1-0 and played really well. But ended up losing that game in the end. So two losses before the last game in the group stage. At one point tonight we went from being up 2-0 and hearing that Belgium had scored against Finland which would give us second place in the ground and we’d qualify. Then in one minute Russia got a weak penalty and scored to 2-1 and news came in that Belgium’s goal was disallowed after VAR video check. So then we were back out. But in the end, we won 4-1 and Belgium won 2-0. Which gives us second place in the group and we qualify for the last 16. What an insane rollercoaster ride. And for the first time in a long long time the Danish team is actually kind of exciting to watch, with promising players. Now we’re facing Wales in the next round. And with all due respect ot Wales, that is one of the easier opponents we could get in this tournament. But who knows what will happen. Who knows where the rollercoaster goes next.
When soccerfootball is good, it’s great.
After Eriksen’s collapse I had kind of written off this tournament. I thought we were going to go out and I wouldn’t even care, it just didn’t matter. But now he is doing well, and we pulled off a miracle in the end. No one, but no one, could have predicted how this all went down.
So. Yay sportsteam. Phew.

Good goat times today. Mostly. Don’t worry, Mia is still fine. And the weather was nice and warm, with a lot of sunshine later on. Unfortunately I managed to hurt myself. I think I bent a chest .. bone.. thing. You know like when you bruise a rib? Which I’ve done 3 or 4 times. Wait. How far up does the rib cage go? Hah, I’m really exposing how dumb I am here. I failed the imaginary anatomy class. Does the rib cage go all the way up to the next? Are there ribs under your chest? What even is a body and how does life? Anyway. Some bone in there. I was getting fresh water for the goats and I leaned over the fence to put the bucket into the fence. And I pressed my chest against the fence. And felt it immediately. It felt a lot like some of the bruised ribs I’ve had. Not as bad as that one time when I was running with Palle, you might remember the video. But it definitely hurt. I think I have pretty brittle bones. One of the bruised ribs in the past was also just basically from leaning into something. I’m just a walking bag of glass bones I guess. I can’t count how many times I broke legs and arms as a kid. I know I once told the story of how I broke my arm on the last day of school before the summer holiday. And then there’s all the other medical problems. Sheesh.
Well, it wasn’t horrible. But I knew it wasn’t great. Afterwards I wanted to move a pallet that was a bit stuck, and when I pulled on it I felt the pain in my chest. Not ‘I’m heaving a heart attack’ chest pain, but ‘there’s some one in there that’s broken or bent or bruised’ pain. And there’s this big empty water trough that I like to use to balance my camera on when I don’t have the tripod out. Normally I can lift it easy peasy. This time, it hurt. And then when I sat down, leaning my weight on my arm. It hurt.
So that’s just great. I guess that means 3-5 weeks of pain. Hopefully it won’t be too bad. My only concern is that I hope it won’t hurt when I breathe. Since it’s kinda over the lungs there. I guess I’ll know tomorrow. It’s always the day after that you start really feeling it. It doesn’t feel as bad as the lower ribs right now though. With those I could barely move without being in pain. Hopefully won’t be as bad this time.
Hmm, I had the camera set up to film when I was getting water. We may have another “Lasse breaks a rib” video to look forward to! Next up on Denmark’s Funniest Home Goat Videos.
All the goating was good though, and I’m just happy Mia is doing well. That’s all that matters.
I’ll just have to get aspirin toppings on my pizzas for a while.

Doctor Mia sending healing energy right into my ouwie. She was resting with her head on my chest. Luckily it didn’t hurt. Not like I could say no to her anyway. I think she may have dozed off. She was snoring and then suddenly she made a little whimpering noise, almost likes he had a nightmare. Then back to snoring. So sweet.

Feeling fairly ok today. Hurts a bit if I push or pull too much with my right arm. And I feel kinda worn down. But not too bad. Nothing like with the bruised ribs in the past.
24/6 2021

Since the video of me falling with Palle and breaking a rib was so popular, here is the video of me breaking my sternum yesterday.
Or bruising or bending or whatever. Don’t worry. If I hadn’t told you, you wouldn’t know anything happened. I literally don’t make a sound and just walk out of frame. But that moment where I put the bucket down on the ground, that’s when I felt bone give way in my chest. So, that happened.

Good soccerballsports times today. Denmark beats Wales 4-0 and qualifies for the Quarter Finals in the European Championships. Next Saturday we’ll be facing the Czech Republic or the Netherlands. It’ll be a tough game, but we’re not without chances. After the insane start to the tournament, we have steadily improving. A good game that we lost against Belgium and then big wins against Russia and Wales. And coincidentally today is the 29th year anniversary of Denmark sensationally winning the European Championship in 1992. One of the biggest surprised in footballsoccersports history. Can we do it again?
No, probably not. My money’s on Italy or Belgium. But we got a good team and we get a lot of sympathy and support because of what happened to Eriksen. Even before the tournament started there were people calling us outsiders.
We’ll see. Even if we go out in the quarters that’s still a fine result for a tiny country like Denmark. We’ve done well under difficult circumstances.
Everybody three cheers for balls!

btw, I don’t know if I’ve told you lately. But I love you.
I was once alone, literally and figuratively. It means a lot to me that there are people who care about me and want to around me, onlinely speaking. Especially cool people who make me feel loved and appreciated, who make me laugh and cry. Who make me raise an eyebrow and a metaphorical toast. And a real toast, when i’m eating toast. Which I probably will be doing tomorrow.
Anyway. I always feel bad that I am not good at keeping up with the facebox feed. But I yam what I yam. I hope you know I appreciate you being around. Sometimes you’re my lifeline. Sometimes you’re the reason I smile. Sometimes you’re the reason I clear my browsing history because I googled something about butts. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
Sorry to those who felt they had to leave along the way. Thank you to those that stay.

Mia and Sky snuggled up. I love them together. Big gal and little gal. Adoptive mom and the ‘kid’ of the flock, who knows the safest space is next to the big protector. I don’t see Milo sitting alone with Mia that often, but Sky is often with her. And then once in while they have their little go around, I still think it’s when Sky is in heat probably. Her tail is wagging and she’s kinda bugging Mia and they butt head a little, bur you know Mia really isn’t threatened. It’s like a little family that now and then have to be a little dysfunctional, but then they go back to the sweet loving togetherness. Or maybe I’m just humanizing. But they are really sweet together.
