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. But, as should be clear, I just don’t care about my appearance. As long as the goats don’t reject me I’ll be okay. Sooner or later I’ll become a hermit, like Luke on Ach-To.

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.

Good goat times today. Lovely to get out and do some goating. It was a hot and humid day, though. Not too comfortable. Looks like the summer is over soon too. The temperatures are going to drop below 20C/68F soon. It’s been a weird summer. Quite warm June, then the coldest July in 22 years, then heatwave in August. The rains are coming too. And by coming I mean they came today. I got to spend some time in the shelter and goat house, listening to rain with the goats. They hate the rain of course. I don’t mind it too much if it’s warm, like today. Although I could have done without the walk to the bus in the rain. I got quite drenched. Let’s hope I didn’t catch a cold, or a pandemic.
But the company is what maters, and Company Of Goats is always good. I brought a big bunch of branches and leaves for them. I guess it won’t be too long before green start going away, so I gotta make the most of it while I can. The goats get so excited when I carry in a big load of fresh green. I miss seeing them run along in the horse field, but I do enjoy seeing them climb around on the big pile of branches to get at the new ones.
We had some sweet visitors today too. There were some really funny kids, but I’ll tell you about them with a pic later.

Here are the goats digging into the fresh greens that I threw on the old pile of branches. The new pallet is an excellent place to stand on, and Mia has commandeered it for herself.

Here’s Mia, Milo and Sky in the back. Sheltering in the shelter as the rain started getting stronger. The new squad was holding up in the goat house. That’s one advantage of being back in the goat pen. More cover when it rains. In the horse field there was only one half-roof.

The visiting kids today were really funny. It was like a bunch of mini-Keikos. They were obsessed with the goats pooping! Haha. They were laughing and cheering. A couple of the were like crouching down and looking up at goat butts. And one boy had a litlte chant. “Activate poop powers!”. Haha. He said it like ten times, as if trying to command the goats to poop.
And here on the photo you can see that Mia was very obliging. Know you audience! She literally turned and pointed her butt at the fence and started pooping. And the kids were thrilled.

18/8 2020
—
.
Okay, Milo you’re up! Haha. Oh lord. Look at that kid crouching down and staring up Milo’s butt. Sheesh. One of their adults asked the boys ‘do you have anyone watching you that intently when you poop?!’ to which they replied affirmatively. I’m not even gonna ask..

If you’re one of the people saying anything bad about Michelle Obama because of what she said about Weinstein, then I’m going to assume you think I’m a horrible person. Because Louis CK was my favourite comedian and I have posted clips of him on Facebook, I have probably spent hundreds of hours watching the Cosby Show and I once went several weeks without mocking Scott Baio.
But hey, if you’re supporting a President who actually goes public and says that a vp candidate might be elligible to run for vp without actually first trying to find out if that statement is true or false, well then you’ve already shown that your standards are pretty low.

Good goat times today. A grey day. Still moderately warm, but yes the summer is running out. Occasional raindrops turned into more consisten rainfall later in the day. I guess it’s time to start wearing a jacket again, walking home in the rain in a t-shirt isn’t too much fun, although I do appreciate the Mr Wet T-Shirt trophy i got from the suburban moms on the way.
That was a joke, I’m joking. good times with the goats, despite the rain. Our past goats hated the rain so much and wouldn’t tolerate a single drop. This gang can toleratea very light rainfall, but then they’ll head for the shelter and house. But we had some good times before we went for cover. There was a good bit of guttural grunting going on. Goats are great at disgruntled grunts. Nuller was doing it at Sky when I was giving them treats. It’s clear that he fancies himlself a big man now, and above Sky in the hierarchy now. So the human should not be giving her treats! Little does he know that the human has a soft spot for the lowest in the hierarchy, so Sky probably gets extra treats on account of that. Like Kamel and Yogi in the past.
There were also some bucky grunting between Milo and Nuller, along with headbutting. I think Milo is still stronger than Nuller, but as soon as Lily or Sassy joins the fray, Mil othe bandit takes off in a cloud of goat berries. He can take on Nuller, but not the ladies.
At one point, when the rain was falling, Nuller somehow managed to get himself stuck in the goat house while Lily and Sassy went to the shelter. It was quite the pickle for him because he wanted to join his squad, but he was in the back of the goat house and Mia, Milo and Sky were blocking the exit. He looked like he was standing there weighing his options. “I want to get out, but do I dare run past giant Mia and her adoptees?”. Goat politics. It’s like an American High School movie. You gotta be careful where you sit, and who you sit with, and do you dare walk past the cool kids’ table?
Eventually Sassy and Lily came back to the house and Mia, Milo and Sky went to the shelter. I think maybe the newb squad prefer to take shelter in the goat house because they sleep in there at night, so that’s kind of their home. I think Mia, Milo and Sky still sleep inside the stables, although I’m not completely sure because I no longer go so early in the morning that I see them get let out. Oh and I haven’t seen the horses yet, I would have thought they’d be back from vacation. I wonder if the whole pandemic thing is the reason they aren’t back yet, or something else. Oh well we’ll see.
I’ll shut up now, please take a moment to exhale a sigh of relief.

I watched the first 3 episodes of Ted Lasso and I really wanted to dislike it because I don’t have time or energy to watch TV shows anymore and I expect everything to be bad.
But, I loved it. Two things. One, Sudeikis. I’m a fan, and he’s great in this. And two, football. The European football. I grew up with football, it’s one of the biggest things in my life even though I don’t talk about it much on here. I was expecting an American show featung soccer to be crap, but it’s really good. And I enjoy just the scenes of them practiving. Or the kids playing it in the park. Just seeing football. Since I’ve lost most of my eyesight it’s gotten really hard to enjoy watching football. Visually. So seeing the few, short scenes in Ted Lasso is just really nice. High quality, upclose people playing football. It reminds me of how much I love the game. I have zero interesting in literally all other sports, but seeing people kick that ball around takes me back to being a 14 year old boy in pouring rain, sliding around in the mud with my mates, kicking the ball in the back of the net. I miss it.
Anyway, the thing I really enjoy about Ted Lasso is the main character. How nice he is. It’s not exactly original or surprising or brilliant. But he’s so nice. To everyone. He’s kind. Simple kindness. Even to people who don’t deserve. Because kindness matters and can change people. And it just.. touches my heart. Because I feel like we live in a time when simple kindness and being nice is so rare. Everyone everywhere is an assholes. Everywhere on social media everyone is an asshole. Everyone is mean. Politics, everyone is mean, and if not evil then aggressive and harsh, because they’re assholes or because the situation calls for it. You have to be aggressive if you think someone is destroying your world, right? And me too when I write about politics. And in the real world, people are mean, people take advantage of others, people are aggressive, people judge, people push, people are selfish.
I know it’s that bad, always, but it feels like it. It feels like the world is a shirthole and we’re all sinking.
And that’s why when I see Ted Lasso being just kind and optimistic and hopeful and nice and trusting and inclusive and openminded and generious and funny and lovely, it almost makes me cry. Because that’s what I want to be, and that’s how I want everyone to be, and I wish that was how you got ahead in life.
Bla bla. I just wanted to write that out. I think it’s a great show, especially if you like Sudeikis and soccer.
And that’s today’s tv review.

Family health update. Not a good one. My mom is in intensive care. It’s her heart again, but also water in her lungs and other stuff. My dad says she’s stable, but it is serious of course. They’d originally been told to wait and she should go to the doctor on Tuesday, but she went to the hospital when it got worse. Dad says he wasn’t sure she’d have lived if they’d just waited till Tuesday…
She’s in good hands now, hopefully it will be okay. Hopefully this time they’ll keep her until they have everything completely sorted out.
My dad isn’t doing super well either. Sounds like the stuff he had done on Thursday hasn’t fixed all his problems, not yet anyway. He had to go to the hospital yesterday too. He said he was out in the city and just ‘shut down’ or something like that, I didn’t quite get what he meant, we were talking mostly about mom. But he got a ‘blockade’ done at the hospital. Sounds like he’s still got issues with his hips and stuff. I don’t know Sigh.
I woke up feeling dizzy. Not sure why. Also felt like my vision’s gotten worse overnight, but it goes up and down so maybe it’s just a temporary thing. I washed my floors yesterday before going to bed. You may laugh, but for me that’s not an easy thing and it tired me out and my muscles are sore. Hadn’t washed the floor in years possibly! When you’re blind it’s easy to overlook the dirt. Maybe I got dizzy off the soap fumes.
i’m feeling fairly ok, other than the worry anxiety and sadness, who wants to eat hooray.
Hope you’re all doing well.

Thank you everyone for all the support. It means a lot.
Got a message from my uncle, mom’s brother, he’s had some of the same stuff going on as mom and said he’s living very well with it, which makes me feel a little better. Hopefully the docs will get her back to health and she’ll be able to do ok too.
I’m not feeling great mentally, but I’ll be ok. Thanks for the distractions.
