Good goat times today. Quite lovely out. Fair bit of sun. Up to around 18C/64F which is about as good as it’s going to get right now. Next week it’s going to get even colder. Sigh.
But I enjoyed the sun today. And the goats, of course. Built a new thing today. Nothing spectacular, but we had fun with it. I’ll show you when I get the pics done. We had sweet visitors at the fence too. Bunch of little kid. One of the boys thought the goats were teh FUNNIEST thing in the world. He could barely stop laughing. Gotta love their enthusiasm!
Hopefully we got new generations of goat fans growing up.

Here is my new construction. We’ve had a pallet leaning up on the goat shelter for months not being used. So I decided to drag it over to the pile of branches and add to the structure there. It’s not too long ago that I added a second pallet to the pile branch. That’s the one Milo is standing on in the backround. So now we have a three pallet long bridge onto the pile of branches. Always nice to have more stuff for them to climb around on. It didn’t take more than 30 seconds before Mia was exploring the new construct. It didn’t take too long before the pooper troopers were fertilizing, or should that be christening, the new platform with goat berries.

Man. Radicals are weird. It’s funny how you can basically just interchange the words, they’re saying the same things just with different words. It’s like that episode of Star Trek with the two aliens, one is black on tthe right side of his face and white on the left side, and the other alien is reversed. It’s almost funny.

While i was getting ready to construct the new thing I leaned the pallet on the bench. Of course it took about two seconds before there wre goats climbing on it. “What’s this thing? What are you doing with this thing? Do we get treats if we climb on this thing?”
Yes, yes they did. Lily and Nuller.

I wasn’t surprised that the goats immediately started climbing around on the new pallet, but I was pretty surprised to see this. Haha. Mia and Milo settled down and relaxing on it. You wouldn’t think it was the most comfortable or secure place to sit, but whatever works! Maybe they feel like they’re making camp on top of the mountain. Pretty cute seeing them sit together in the middle of the pile of branches.

Might be my imagination but I felt like Sassy’s belly was looking extra big yesterday. I was drumming on it and it sounded almost hollow. Maybe she was having gas haha. If I didn’t know any better I might have guessed she was pregnant. But I guess it’s just the benefit of being the biggest and strongest of the littles. She definitely does not skip dessert.
I wish we could have babies. Almost tempted if we couldn’t have a buck over for a visit. Get a little boer kid from Mia! Sigh. Baby fever. But along with babies and pregnancies come health concerns and worries. I’d rather have Mia grow old in great health than risk complications. Still. I miss having goat babies around.

Good goat times today. A lovely day. It started a little bit chilly and there were a few scattered raindrops now and then. But the sun came out well and the temperatures got up around 20/68, which is what I consider the benchmark of summer. It could well be the last of those days I’ll get this year. The last until sometimes in May 2021 potentially, assuming the world is still here by then.
I digress. Lovely blue skies and sunshine and warm temperature and happy goats. Mama like.
Lots of lounging around. And some running for treats. Sweet visitors too. A young lady with a couple of kids, I think maybe a daycare outing, came and setup a picnic right outside the pen. That was pretty cute. They ate their food and watched the goats. While the goats watched them eat their food and wondered by they weren’t sharing. Oh the humanity! We should have sent out the bandit to steal their picanic basket.

The corona numbers in my region are steadily falling. It’s almost as if doing stuff actually works instead of shrugging and accepting people dying like flies. Who knew.
Anyway. We’ll see how that goes.
Unfortunately my dad isn’t doing so well. Looks like the fix he got didn’t fix anything. He’s got a doctor’s appointment on Friday so hopefully they can figure out something. He’s in constant pain and it sucks. I hope they can find out what’s wrong with him.
Mom is doing better, not perfect, but better. Peter’s doing ok. I’m still a bit dizzy, but I think it’s getting better. More iced creams would probably help.

Here’s Sky sitting up on the platforms on Mt Pilebranch. Good safespot because it’s hard to rush at her.
She’s reminding me more and more of Yogi. Her voice is kinda gruff like Yogi’s was. When one of the others chases her away she usually lets out a little gruff complaint. And like Yogi she’s sweet and gentle and smaller than her companions and prefers to back off and run away from the bigger meanies. She’s got this new habit of coming over to me and starting to lick my hand or arm. She’s so sweet.
Only big difference, other than her age, is that she barely has a beard. While Yogi had maybe the most impressive goat beard we ever had.

The scroll wheel on my mouse just stopped working. You have no idea how dependent you are on such a simple thing until it stops working.
In a panic I was already looking at websites to buy a replacement mouse. Then, on a hunch, I picked up the mouse and put my mouth on the scroll wheel and blew air in and out a few times. Seems to have fixed.
I will probably get a sexual harrasment lawsuit from the mouse, but we’ll jump off that bridge when I get to it.

Instead of Raised By Wolves they should have called it SciFi Project Involving Ridley Scott. I almost gave it a miss because the title did not appeal to me. Until I randomly happened to see that it was a scifi thing involving Ridley Scott. And damn, three episodes in and it is so good. Excellent scifi.
So my recommendations so far: Ted Lasso, Raised By Wolves, and the new Bright Eyes album. A Comedy, a scifi drama and a music. Loving all 3.

And good news. My mother is back home. Yes, I was surprised too. But I guess the treatment and adjustment in her meds must have worked, she sounded very well. I’m still worried and wish they could, you know, find out what’s actually going on and get it all fixed. But so far so good I guess.

So, that was great news about mom. Dad isn’t doign so great, though. Seems like things haven’t really improved for him. So unless things start working he’ll probably have to go back for more examinations to find out what’s causing all the pain and tirednes.s
And me? I am still feeling the dizziness. Mostly when I’m lying down. If I roller over, or sit up or stand up then the world starts spinning. Once I’m up, or sitting n my chair like now, I’m feeling pretty okay. Had a pretty bad headache last night but I think that was just because I spent 20ish hours in bed with sadness and worry. Seems to be gone now. The headache, not the sadness and worry.
I’m sure I’m fine.
But while, i’m complaining… I can already feel it getting colder. I’m so sensitive to the cold. I have a much easier time cooling down in the heat than warming up in the cold. And the thought that now we’re heading into 8 months of it just getting colder and darker, that affects my mood negatively quite a lot.
As does also the fact that the new Facebook design is coming. I was switched to it when I came on today, but I was able to go back to classic for now. With the message that classic is going away soon. It’s going to make my facbook experience a lot harder, and it affects my mood negatively.
Also my memory is getting worse. Not like, forgetting stuff, but more like.. not being able to connect information. I was thinking of the tv show Buffy while I was lying in bed last night, and I couldn’t remember who played Willow. I could remember her character’s name. I could picture her face in my mind. And I knew I knew her name. But I couldn’t connect the name and the face. I’m experiencing this sometimes. It’s like running your head against a wall. You know that you know, but it’s like there’s a barrier between the information. It took me about ten minutes to come up with her name. Alyson Hannigan. I’m a fan. i loved Willow.
I don’t know. I can’t help thinking it’s just a matter of time before I either go blind or get dementia.
Dad’s memory isn’t great either. Not uncommon that he’ll tell me stuff that he’s already told me. His brother suffers from dementia, like in the serious way. It probably runs in the family Is there a test for early dementia? If there is I ought to take it. I don’t even know if there’s anything you can do.
So yeah, everyone’s getting sick and it’s getting cold and dark and everythings getting worse and I’m losing my self and my mind and the world is a cesspool. Sigh.
But hey, it is what it is. Hopefully I can see the goats soon. I need some goat therapy. One day at a time, I suppose.
You get a cookie if you read all that, and hopefully you learned your lesson for next time. Don’t listen to the crazy old Dane.

Good goat times today. I made it out to get my goat therapy, and I managed to stay on my feet despite the spinning world. A grey morning, but we got some sun later on. The temperatures have dropped a tad, but when the sun was out it was quite lovely.
Lots of fun with the goaties. Some silly running around, a little headbutting (maybe I should stop doing that, it could be the cause of my dizziness), lots of sweet lounging around. Scartchies and cuddles and treats. Some nice visitors too, although the goats weren’t feeling too social so I had to coax them over to the fence and throw some treats on the ground to get them close enough for the kids to pet them. That’s how you get me to socialize too, throw some pizza at me.
Good to get out. And I met my mom downstairs when I got home! Haha. She was dropping off some medication that they’d been nice enough to pick up for me at the pharmacy. We walked past each other in the hallway downstairs and didn’t recognise each other. I don’t think she realised it was me until she saw me opening my mailbox. Mine has a different colour than all the other ones, so it stands out. Anyway, nice to see her and say hi. Must be doing ok then!

No more family health updates for today, but in other medical news it seems like the covid count is dropping again in Denmark. And dropping considerably in my region which had been the one doing the worst when the curve started going up again. So that’s good. People are taking it seriously and it seems to be working.
Which is just a backdoor way for me to mention that thing about 57% of Republicans finding the covid death toll in America acceptable. I gotta say I was pretty shocked about that. You’re supposed to be the greatest country in the world and you’re just going to accept that you’re doing so poorly? That’s crazy. It’s one thing to be the laughing stock of the civilized world, it’s another to just bend over and let it kill you. But I guess that’s the prize you pay for being in a cult. Acceptable losses as long as it’s not you.
Well, i’ll spare you the rest of the long rant about Trump and the washing away of traditional Republican values that I cooked up in my head while taking a shower after my goat trip. I’m pretty sure you can guess how it vented anyway.
Tra la la. Flatten the cuve, that way you might not get grabbed by the molester in chief.

Even if he hadn’t killed anyone, the image of a 17 year old walking around with a firearm is just shocking to me. In Denmark every single gun related crime is headline news and something out of the ordinary.
Like I’ve mentioned to a couple of people, when I was a schoolkid, around 14-15 years old, in our classroom someone cut out a fake nude picture of Shannen Doherty from a magazine and hung it on the wall. And no one gave a shit. In America, you get a glimpse of a nipple at a super bowl concert and half the country freaks out. It’s such a weird difference, that you’re more threatened by a nipple than a gun. Your kids are going to survive seeing a nipple, not so much a rifle.
Maybe if they found a way to perform abortions with a gun you’d be cool with it.

Sigh. I chipped a bit of tooth the other day. I don’t have cameltoe, but I do have Kamel teeth. A crooked line of teef. I definitely have a large dental bill in my future at some point.

A lot of my friends on here are strongly anti police. Some are very pro police. I beleive a few are even in law enforcement.
I’m sort of in the middle. Growing up priviliged white kid in a priviliged nordic country, my view of the police is generally positive. I believe in law and order, I believe the police is necessary, I believe the vast majority of police officers are good people.
That being said, god damn there’s disgusting stuff going on in America and it’s hard to believe such awful things are being done by people who are supposed to be on the right side of the law. I can understand the distrust and objections, especially if you are a minority or you deal closely with it or see it close to home. It’s so awful.
I don’t know how to find unity in such a mess. Where do you even begin to fix it? It’s like trying to stop the tropical storms and hurricanes. What do you do? Stand up and punch the wind?
I don’t know man I don’t know. And you got people in power just verifiably lying their asses off. You got a governing party that has managed to make their voters scared of people from other religions and races even though most of the bad terrorist attacks are done by white males. You got people thinking that covid is just the flu, even though we’re now seeing that even younger people who get it and live still get later onset damages. I read that Boris Johnson is planning to retire because of follow-on problems from it. Okay, getting close to 200,000 deaths is acceptable, how many peoples lives ruined by followon problems is acceptable then?
You got people thinking thinking the eastern european nudie model married the rich old white american businessman for love? Sheesh. HOw many of his wives did he cheat on? Don’t tell me you’d tell your son that he’s allowed to grab women by the pussy. Don’t tell me you’d tell your daughter she should let powerful man grab her pussy. Everything is fucked up and the shit goblins are laughing all the way to the bank.
I’m not going to spell check or fact check this, I’m just a dumb white kid from the happiest country in the world, and even I despair.

I should watch Lost again. I’ve watched it all the way like 10 times, but it’s been years now. Other than Twin Peaks, no other show has had that much of an impact on me. I miss it. The time. I watched the first episode on my old computer in our old house, my parents on the other side of the sheet we’d hung up to seperate the computer corner from the rest of the living room. Everything is different now. Everything. Everyone. Everywhere. Sometimes I wish I could go back.
Sometimes I wish I could go forwards.
