Easter

March 31st, 2024

Good goat times today. A bit chilly in the morning, but some nice sunshine too. Not bad Jeanette is out on vacation so I had to do some social duty with visitors. They asked if they could go in the pen and I said okay and then they let a kid into the pen. Elias. He proceeded to sprint around the entire pen. He completely ignored the goats and just ran around in circles through the entire pen. Ran up to the goat house and looked around there. Ran over and climbed up on one of the platforms. One of his minders said to the other “maybe he identifies as a goat. We support you Elias”. Haha. He tired himself out just running around like that. And did not once stop to pet the goats. Well as long as he had fun! Another visiting kid went around and made loud chicken noises to the chickens. And to the goats, who were not impressed. When Jeanette isn’t there then the visitors don’t get to feed them snacks and that does not make goats happy! Good thing I had plenty of treats for them.
Came home after shopping and went to pick up a package. Got home and found that none of the stuff I hard ordered was in the package, completely wrong items. Fnergle. Now I have to deal with that and do more package runs and I wish I was a goat instead.

My back not doing so good today, unfortunately. So that sucks. I managed to get on the exercise bike and do an hour and half. So that’s good. The days are getting warmer, makes it easier to get in a groove on the bike.
Got a pepsi delivery today too. I have started splitting htem up in smaller batches, get a delivery every 2 or 3 weeks instead of once a month. Getting 30 big bottles of pepsi delivered is just kind of stressful and annoying. Nicer to have them split in smaller batches and then I can get some stuff in the delivery too. Like today I got some noodles, so I’ll be having that soon. Fun fact: Noodles in Danish are called nudler, which sounds almost like nudes. Get your mind out of the gutter!
Been thinking of trying to cut back on the pepsi. Replace it at least partially with other no sugar sodas. I’d still be getting the artificial sweeterners, but at least I’d be cutting down a bit on the caffeine. See, your nagging pays off sometimes! Seriously, I appreciate you care about my health. I should try that myself.

Did you know that Staci Keanan and Christine Lakin has started a Step By Step rewatch podcast? Well, you do now. And if you’re anything like me and have watched the entire series over the last few months, well you’re probably quite delighted with this development.
The latest episode is about episode 4, which is the introduction of Cody. I loved hearing them talk about Cody. I miss Cody. Duude, I know!

Bella loes her belly rubs. She will jump up like this many times during the day. Okay, she is also looking for treats. But when she does this I usually can’t resist reaching out and rubbing her neck and belly.
Also notice Luna under the chair. She loves going under the chair it seems. Even if the passage to the left is clear, she’ll still prefer to coot under the chair instead of walking around it.

Not feeling super great. My head hurts, not in the physical way but you know. Managed to get on the bike for an hour fifteen, so that was something at least. Could really feel my legs getting sore and hurting quicker, I need a little more recovery time now. But I’m keeping at it, and that’s something. One day a day, one hoof in front of the three others.

Sky and Bella. Bella is getting quite bossy, but just with Luna. Luna gets pushed around, but she’s still go respect for Sky. They get along well, sometimes Sky even grooms Bella which is pretty sweet. But when Sky puts her hoof down to assert herself for treats or attention, Bella will hightail it outta there. She can’t boss Sky around. The one doing the challenging is usually Luna. She’ll butt heads with Sky and Bella. To a point. She’ll dance around them and do some headbuting and then sprint off, usually. And then they’ll all settle down and be getting along fine. And when they sense some kind of (percieved) danger they’ll group up close and make a united front.
The other day I was sitting on the yellow chair. Sky took her usual position on my left, that’s where she goes and then nudges me with her head until I give her scratchies. So I was scratching her on my left, and Bella was up on her hind legs as she does to get belly rubs, I was scratching her in front of me with my right hand. And then I had one of my legs up and resting over the oyher leg which meant it was poking out to my right. And Luna was standing under my leg and I started moving my foot back and forth so I was scratching her back with my shoe. It would be easier if I had three hands, but I did managed to scratch them all at the same time.

Got on the exercise bike for an hour and a half today. Got a good groove going, legs felt stronger than last session two days ago. Getting stronger and stronger.
Got a doc appointment next week so I am borrowing dad’s blood pressure measure doohickey. Always a little nervous when measuring my blood pressure, because it’s usually trending a little on the high side. But it was perfect today, so that’s encouraging.
The weather is slowly warming up. Although about a week ago the projected temperature for today was 16C/60F. Actual temperature today? 9C/48F. Ah well. It’s still better than a week or two ago.
Projected temperature for next Saturday? 18C/64F. Hah, i’ll believe that when I feel it. Those are summer temps for Denmark so I won’t hold my breath. But at least we’re out of the freezing.
One day a day, one hoof in front of the three others.

Happy Easter to everyone who has the affliction. He has risen, and he’s selling bibles to fund his defense against the Pharisees. Don’t forget to praise the lord while filling out your break the commandments bingo card
Okay, I’ll get off my high horse. Should probably stage an intervention, pretty sure my horse has a weed problem. Sorry to be so blunt.

My computer and TV automatically changes the time on daylight savings hoax day, but I haven’t put my clocks forward yet. I feel like i’m stuck in some kind of time loop. Umoored in time. My apartment is the Tardis the darkness of future’s past, what year is this?

Watching the Steve Martin documentary. Absolutely brilliant. Wonderful. Can’t say enough good about it. I mean I’m only 35 minutes into part 1. But so far, wonderful. I love seeing all the old stuff. I came in fairly late in the Steve Martinverse. Earliest memory of him I guess would be Trains, Planes and Automobiles. I loved that movie so much. One of the repeater VHS tapes I had. Him and John Candy. Made me laugh and cry.
Anyway. I highly recommend Steve! (martin).

SunTense

March 24th, 2024

Good goat times today. Cold still, but at least dry and a little sun now and then. Feathers and furs out having fun. Sweet visitors. I had a nice long chat with Jeanette about how things were going. She’s changed things up so now visitors can’t come into the pen and feed the goats, they can feed them over the fence. And then go into the pen when the feeding is done. So the goats don’t get too riled up and pushy. I brought my water spray bottle today and started trying to teach Luna not to headbutt. She got a fair few shots to the face. I feel so bad about doing it. But hopefully she will learn a lesson. We’ll have to see. She didn’t seem to get mad at me at least. Still giving me smooches. She’s a doll. Just a doll that gets a little too pushy whe she wants food.
Had a pretty good back day today. I hope to have more like that.

I know most of you here follow Danish soccerballsports closely, but for the few that don’t I just wanted to mention something really sweet that happened yesterday. The team I support, Brøndby, has a Japanese player that came to the club fairly recently. Yesterday his family came to Denmark to watch him play. And he was brilliant and stole the show, man of the match with three goals. I was watching the game on the telly and every time he scored the cameras would cut to his dad in the stands being super proud. And apparently they brought gifts for the Brøndby staff, like sake glasses and kimonos. Haha. So wholesome. Now the fans really want the family to get season tickets and come to every game.

I brought pumpkin seeds for the goats yesterday. As you may recall I have been trying to find a good surface to put them on for some fun video recording. I tried this spool yesterday. One side of it was pretty clean, and the goats did want to eat from it. It has a bunch of rides which make sort of little compartments that they had to get the seeds out of. That was pretty fun. I’m not sure it makes for the best video though, since it’s fairly small and rickety. The plain platform surface at the old playground made for some great slurping videos. We’ll see how people like the video of this when it goes up. But the goaties enjoyed the pumpkin seeds. Sky does not want to share them, she loves ’em.

Hey hey! Thank you so much Deborah Ladd for this wonderful card! Sweet memories and sweethearts. And the plastic cow! I forgot about the plastic cow. I wonder where she is now. My memory is so bad, i don’t even remember what happened to her or if she just disappeared one day. But seeing her again made me smile. Along with the other darlings. Thank you!

Good goat times today. A beautiful day. Still a bit cold, but over 5C/41F. That’s a good start. And some lovely sunshine. I got to sit with the goats in the sun, for the first time really since last year. I loved when they get tired in the sun. As it was last year, Bella was the first to curl up with her head to her body and doze off. Luna sitting down several times up against me. Resting with her head on my leg and body. Eyes starting to flutter as she dozes off too. Sky had some sits on her favourite perch, the tub, too. I missed that. Hope we get more and more sun.
We had some sweet human visitors too, regulat Thursday visitors from the school next door. There’s a lady with them who’s always very sweet and nice to me. Jeanette was bringing snacks so they could feed the goats, and the lady looked over at me sitting on the bench with Bella and Luna resting, and she went “it’s almost a shame to disturb that harmony”. And then she went on “No, Jeanette, let them be, don’t disturb them”. That was so sweet of her. It was a mooh point of course, as Bella noticed that there were visitors and they know that means snacks, so they both got up and went over to the fence. And that’s good, i want visitors to have a good time with the goats. And they did. And then the goats came back and sat with me.
A pretty big development at the playground too, but I will reveal that with photo later. CLIFF! hanger.

Jesper was hard at work while the goats had breakfast.
We got a new hatch for the goats. It’s a project that Jeanette has wanted to do for a long time. Inside there’s a sort of pulley thing that can slide down and cover the opening. But I think the idea is that the goats will be able to go in and out even when the place is closed. I worry a little about if they will be safe, but it will be nice for them to have more freedom and still be able to go inside if they need. This is what it is now anyway.

Had an okay back day today. I don’t want to jinx it, every time I say it’s getting better it gets worse again. But.. it’s been better this week. The TENS and the different exercises seem to be doing me good, for now. I didn’t wear the TENS out today, but I did have a session before going out and one right when I get home. Normally when I get home I’m wrecked and it takes days to get back to feeling okay. But it wasn’t too bad today. I felt good enough to jump on the bike and do an hour, so that and the goating gave me a good workout. Doing my best.

Hey hey! Thank you so much Keiko Murakami for yet another wonderful art piece and birthday wishes, and lovely message included. And the boba bunny, whatever that is! Haha. Love the birthday party with my three little ladies. Love Sky with the bazooka, which is the word that first came to me. What’s it called? Kazoo? Now I’m imagining goats with bazookas, that could be a game. Goat bazooka simulator. Anyway, sorry about the rambling. Haven’t been feeling too well today, but this put a great big smile on my face. Thank you!

For the premium subscribers, a little highlight of an upcoming video. Fun with Luna. She cracked me up, sounding like a little buck. I’m not sure why she reacted like that to my hand, she’s done that before. I wonder if her little bad habit of headbutting has something to do with it. She’s pretty darn cute in any case.

My mind is a haunted house, with boarded up doors to keep me out of the places where I dare not tread. There’s something chained up in the basement, and there are bats in the attic. There’s a clown in the mirror and there’s a creepy doll that always follows me.

Slept for about 11 hours, just counting down the hours until I can go to bed again. This feels like a day to tear out of the calendar. I just want to dream away.
On a brighter note, I’ve had good cucumbers this week. This pleases me. The tomatoes are still not up to standard, but I hope they will get better soon. I enjoy eating cucumbers and tomatoes, during the warmer months. The goats love tomatoes all year round, but I’m more picky. Maybe I should pick them myself.
