Looks like my new computer is almost finally done. It’s been almost two months now, so I’d be happy to have it back. Hopefully working well with nice improvements. Fingers crossed. What could possi bly go wrong.

Otherwise nothing really new. The goats are getting fluffier as the weather gets colder. Bob is nice and fuzzy. Getting woolly for the winter already. I miss the warmth. It’s not freezing yet, but it’s cold enough to sting the skin when I’m outside. I wish I could fastforward to springtime. Skip past all the gloves and mittens and scarves and sweaters. Go straight to shorts and sandals. Although I don’t wear shorts or sandals. But still.

A couple of weeks ago I got a message on youtube from someone who asked if they could use the audio from one of my videos for an app they were making. They were making an app that would help kids to learn what baby animals look and sound like. And they wanted my baahing lambs for it. That made me quite happy. The idea that kids would hear ‘my’ lambs is very nice. So of course I said they could go ahead and use it. Maybe I should have asked for royalties in case they go and sell the app. I don’t really know if it’s just some random person who wants to give the app away for free or if it was a representative from Apple who wants to sell it for millions in their app store. Haha. I don’t like apps. But I like baby animals.

I know that’s a horribly controversial statement, but there you go.

Yesterday I had a checkup at the eye doctor. It’s been six months since my last appointment, and not a lot has happened during that period of time. Which was also pretty much the conclusion of the checkup. My eye looks well, all things considered. Everything seems stable for now, so I’ll come back in another six months for my next checkup, end of story.

I was in and out fairly quickly. The usual little tests and photography. It’s nice that they’re keeping a check on things. So I don’t have to feel like I’m left all alone with it all. And I can always call them if something happens or I feel insecure about something. So that’s good. I’m just glad that I don’t have to run back and forth to the hospital anymore. And no pain. No surgery. I got through the roughest part, now there’s just everything ahead of me.

I talked to the doctor a little about how I’m dealing with things too. He said that it was important to be able to accept things and move on to be able to have a good life. And that it seemed like I was doing well with that. Which I agreed with. It can be distressing at times, but I think I have done well to look forward instead of backwards. There is no point in thinking about the things I have lost. I try to be greatful for the things I still have. It’s the only way to stay sane.

That and goats. Here is a goat video from last week: .youtube.com/watch?v=eyihxQS-E1A. Nothing amazing. Just nice goats.

That’s about that.
