I know the hurricane is awful, but there are many sides to this issue. Many sides.

Good goat times today. Twas a beautiful morning with sunshine and puffy clouds. Cool temperatures, but it got warmer as the day got on. Enjoying the last few summer days here in Denmark.
I was at the goats early so I got to feed them breakfast (A38 was good and ate all her goat pills, with some added raisins) and let them out. Spending time with them just takes away all the doom and gloom that gathers up in the corners of the mind when you’re not looking. And the heart bursts with joy when Mia looks up in my eyes as I scratch her chin. All 3 goat ladies are so wonderful in their own ways. I miss having baby goats jumping around, but I’m really happy with this triumvirate of glorious beings.
Okay, I’ll dial it down a notch.
I saw a new cat today. At least I think it was a cat. You may laugh but for a moment I actually thought it was a fox. Haha. Nah, I’m pretty sure it was a cat. But with some unusual and pretty colours. We’ll have a look at some pictures soon.
At the end of the day all 3 goaties were sitting down quite close together. Maybe the cloesest I’ve seen while I’m on the premises. Okay, A38 was sitting up against the gate so she had a little protection there. But they were so close that I sat down with them and I could reach a hand out to one side and pet Mia and a hand out to the other side and pet A38. Perfect unity.
But hey aliens, you need to upgrade your cat models. What the fox?

Yeah, that’s a cat. Not a fox. Or a tiger. Right? But isn’t it pretty, though?

Goosebumps! Twin Peaks! I didn’t think [redacted] would affect me as much as it did. And the other thing. But that was all kinds of amazing. Only one week to go now. I don’t want it to end. I want the dreamer to keep dreaming.

Heading to bed early tonight. The ebb and flow of my sleep schedule. The moon pulls, the sun pushes. Catching stars with a butterfly net. I am still all huffed up on Twin Peaks. I wonder if it’ll sneak into my dreams.

Where’s Y… oh come on, Yogi! You’re not even trying, you’re just sitting out in the open in the middle of everything! You’re lucky you’re so cute. I guess we’ll play again another day.

There are drums and bagpipes and something that sounds like Arabian nights flutes and people cheering outside. If this is the end of the world it sounds a lot more fun than I’d expected.

Here’s another picture from yesterday of Foxy Mulderson, the tigercat. I think she’s so pretty. I don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl, but all other animals around here are girls so I’ll just go with that. She’s hanging out with A38’s pet rock here. I wonder if she’s a wild cat or a pet. She was watching me and the goats for a while. And sat still while I approached. But when I got to about a human’s length away she ran off. Took position again a little farther away and kept watching us. I tried to get close to her or get her to come to me, but she kept a safe distance until eventually she ran off into some bushes. I hope she’ll come back some time.

Mia and Mio in their field of excellence. You can really tell the horses are back. The grass in the pasture is eaten and trodden down. Doesn’t help we’ve had some wet days. It’s been harder getting Mia to run along with me. The field isn’t so great for frolicking right now. Two days of summer left.

“Who I was I will never be again”. That is such a joyful and sad line. There are things I were that I’d never ever want to be again. And there are things I were that I’d give anything to have back. “Who I could have been, I will never have the chance”. Is there another us somewhere out there with better lives?

Good goat times today. I almost didn’t make it out. Because bad thoughts were rattling in my head. Rotten candy in the pinata. But I’m glad I got out, because as always spending time with the goaties makes me feel so much better. I brought cherry tomatoes for the first time. They were a big hit. Not as fun to watch them eat cherry tomatoes as the big tomatoes. But they’re perfectly sized for lil A38. The horses wanted in on it too, but I don’t think they’re supposed to have tomatose so I had to disappoint them. Nice and sunny out. I can feel the weather is getting colder. But after a few hours in the sun it starts feeling nice.

Good goat times today. A pretty cold morning. This is the last full week of summer in Denmark. It’s been the coldest summer I can remember. So all you global warming hoaxers can just sail on an iceberg to the North Pole and stay there. If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a thousand times. RICK PERRY WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG.
Anyway. It wasn’t too bad, especially when the sun started coming out of the clouds. I was a little disappointed that it was just the regular, old golden sun. I was promised a black hole sun. Science fails again. If I’ve said….
Anyway. Lovely time with the goats. They are such a wonderful trio of great companions. Mia with her slightly hysterical, demanding smooching love. Mio with her slow steady love, that forces everyone else out of the way. And sweet old A38. Stealing all the moments I can with her and sneaking her treats. They make my heart sing.

A woman came up to the fence and asked “Is that old goat still here?”. I said “A38? Yeah, she’s around here somewhere” and the woman’s face lit up in a smile. I guess old Yogi’s got a local fanclub too.

In other news, I seem to be living in The Great Northern Hotel, because all day long there has been a strange humming sound all through the building. I wonder if Josie is stuck in a wooden knob somewhere around here..
.it almost sounds like someone is drilling, only there are no pauses and it’s not quite as loud or forceful as a drill sounds. More like a vibrating hum. And it’s been all day with no pause. Thankfully it’s so low that putting on some music pretty much drowns it out.

New Morrissey album, new solo album from Billy Corgan. All my favourite pickle ricks are releasing new music. Also, only two weeks of Twin Peaks left. I feel like I do when I’m reading a good book. I can’t awit to get to the end and see what happens, but I also don’t want it to be over. Kinda like with pizza. I can’t wait to eat it all, but then when I’ve eaten it all I’m out of pizza. It’s like if I had a cake, right. Visualize me having a cake. But when I eat the cake, then I don’t have it anymore. If only there was some way of eating the cake AND having the cake.
I suppose I could buy TWO cakes. But. I mean. Isn’t that how the great Roman empire fell?
Oh by the way, the humming has stopped. So whatever the aliens were doing I guess they stopped. Maybe they were recharging their doomsday machine. I guess we’ll see. Maybe I SHOULD get two cakes. If the world is ending then to heck with it all. Two scoops!

Good goat times today. Decent temperatures and sun every now and then. I just read a news article that said this Danish summer has had the least amount of sun in 17 years. So it’s not just my imagination. But ok, we takes what we can gets. Just like the goats takes all the foods they can gets. And then ask fo a little more. Lots of fun with them today. Everything is fun with goats. Plus with sun in the sky and dry ground I get to sit and be lazy with them, which is always good. Being lazy and eating all you can eat. You know, I think goats may be on to something…

Had an appointment with the doctor this morning. To discuss how the meds are going. And how are they going? They’re going alright, thanks for asking. They send their regards.
I think generally my mood has been more stable. I don’t know if that has come across on my Facebooking. I think I internalize a lot of the darkness. But I know when I get really down it must spill over onto my Facebox, I’m not sure if there’s been more or less of that since I started the meds. But generally I feel more stable. The lows are less low. Before I could feel like I literally wanted to jump off a cliff. Now I just get.. mildly sad. And usually for a reason, like… the news. All of them. Whereas before my mood was just a rollercoaster for no apparent reason. So that is an improvement, if nothing else. But I do still feel some sadness. And sometimes when I feel like there despair and anguish there is instead an empty feeling. Like a big giant physical hole where there used to be pain. It’s nice that there isn’t pain there. But emptiness isn’t always a great feeling either.
Anyway. My doctor upped my dose. I started at 50mg and went to 100mg. Now I’m going to be on 150mg. And then I’ll go back in a month’s time to talk to her again. To see if it has gotten me even better, or if it’s giving me side effects again. I can always go back down to 100. We shall see. Maybe when winter comes I’ll have to get one thousand. PIZZAS. Medical.

Oh Facebook. With all your data mining and snooping and privacy contempt I’m pretty sure you don’t have to ask me that.
At least they got the first suggestion right. And then put a tomato instead of the apple. And what’s the last thing? Is that a pizza too? Because that would be accurate. Two of my favourite 3 foods are pizza slices and whole pizzas.

When Amazon issues you a refund on an item, but it then shows up 3 weeks late. Do you A) Contact amazon and tell them to cancel the refund if possible. 2) Keep the 40ish dollars and spend them on pizza?
Hint: Option A took me about 15 minutes searching for a contact link on amazon’s homepage. Sheesh. I guess cancelling a refund isn’t something that comes up often so there’s no quicklink for that. And the general contact link is buried away deep in customer service pages.
Anyway, I just wanted to humblebrag about how honest I am. Also, I stole all your cookies and set you up the bomb.

I’ve been feeling a little dizzy the last couple of days. You know that feeling like you’re on a train or a boat, but you’re actually on steady ground? I keep swaying around a little. I’m guessing it’s because of the increased dosage of the meds. I’m sure it’ll go away.
Of course the other theory is that I have been kidnapped by aliens amd am currently living in a simulation of Earth that they created to fool me into thinking that I’m still at home. And swaying is because their spaceship has a defective stabilizer on the port side.
But know this, aliens. There is no way you’ll get me to reveal the secret nuclear codes! Or the secret pizza recipe.
