2012 finally got goaty. I got to see the goats again, and it made me happy. As it always does. I’m always a little worried, though, when I’ve been away for more than a few days. And especially with the new year’s fireworks and all. I get paranoid that they won’t all be there to greet me. That someone will be gone. But no worries this time, four furry goaties were there to say hello. And it snowed. It didn’t last long, just a couple of hours. But I got to walk around in the falling snow and things got white briefly. So that was really nice. I liked that. Even though it was cold.

Mostly of course I liked the goats. As here seen: youtube.com/watch?v=vZzzFd8bzJI. Nothing exciting. But goats. I’m glad they’re all still doing well. And they will continue to provide me with happiness and a reason to get out of the apartment. Even when it’s cold.

They really do need to pick a name for the new girl, though.

Other than that there’s nowt much going on. I helped my dad make stamps. He is quite into the stamp collecting. And he found out that you can make your own stamps. So I helped him out with that. We made them on the Norwegian postal service’s website. Fancy Norwegian stamps. They proper work and all. Quite extraordinary. I almost feel like making some myself now. With goats. Although to be fair I don’t send much snail mail these days. In fact pretty much none. I just want goat stamps. But it was nice that I could help my dad with it. I took pictures of him. And photoshopped text. I get kind of frustrated with these things now, because it’s a lot more difficult for me to do because of my eyesight. Five years ago I could have whipped something nice up in a matter of minutes. Now I end up worrying about it all because it takes longer and I can’t tell if what I’m doing is good enough or not. But dad seems to like the stamps. We made some a week ago or so, without text. And they turned out good he said. Hopefully the ones with text will too.

And on Sunday it’s soup time. Bam!

Almost a week gone of the new year. Clearly one of my resolutions hasn’t been to blog more often or better. Fraid not.

I have never done resolutions, and this year my only resolution was to not start now. But there are things I hope to do better this year. When it starts getting warm again I want to really hit the exercising hard. That’s my hope anyway. I’m still going with it, I just find it a lot harder and less rewarding when it’s cold. Even with the heat turned up to max it’s still not the same. But we’ll see how that all goes. Spring can’t spring too soon for me. At least we haven’t really had any snow yet. I guess a winter completely without snow would be too much to ask. And part of me also misses the pretty, fuzzy whiteness. But for mobility I really could do with a mild winter.

Other than that the new year has not brought anything new with it. Time passes, slowly. Dad is doing better and better. There are still tests to be done, though. But it seems to be going okay right now. I’m happy about that.

Haven’t seen the goats this year yet. Been much too long. I will probably go see them on Monday. Hopefully they got through the new years alrite. I am missing them something fierce.

Hope you all have gotten into the new year well as well, swell. Here’s to a good year.
