Root Cause

July 27th, 2025

Well, today was a little different than originally planned.
I was planning for a goat trip. But then I got notified that a package was coming. This one a little more important, and with my two packages that were just dropped at the door lat week, I felt like I had to be home to make sure i got this one.
Also, Jeanette is on vacation now. I usually try to time my goat trips to be on days that Jeanette is there, because I really enjoy when she is around. So no Jeanette means I don’t have to go today over some other day.
So, I stayed home today. Got my package. This one was not dropped at the door. But this package required a signature, so they kind of had to knock on the door for that. i don’t know if my complaints last week have had any effect, I guess I’ll see some time in the future.
Because I knew yesterday that was going to stay home today, I also decided to order some emergency B&Js. I put in an order at the delivery service at the last moment. It literally said “If you want delivery tomorrow, you have to finish your oder in 10 minutes. Hurry!”. Got me order placed, and recieved it today. Along with some more Pepsi & Protein. You have to order for a certain minimum amount, but I can always use more Pepsi. And some other assorted stuff. So that’s fine, now I can go a little longer before my next delivery. And now I have iced creams! I will enjoy me some mango b&js today.
I am not feeling super great really. Maybe I’ll take some vacation days too. But I do need some goat time, because goat time keeps me going. And with Jeanette on vacation I also want to try to make sure they’re doing okay and getting all they need. I wish I could be there every day. I just don’t have the capacity for that unfortunately.
The heat is starting to scale down to more normal levels now. The forecast is promising a lot of rain, although it keeps fluctuating. Yesterday it said wed get about 85mm on Tuesday, now it says 36.
And that’s about it. I thought I was going to exercise today, since I’m not going to the goats. But i’m not. I’m going to sit here and do nothing and eat ice cream. I call it, a Presidential Day. Minus the Epstein.
Oy.
Sorry.
Hope you’re all doing well and doing good, for goodness sake.

Good goat times today. Good to be back where I belong. Taking care of goat business. Alls good in the goat hood.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from the weather today. As I mentioned, a couple of days ago the forecast for today said 80+mm of rain. Then it went to 30+. How much rain did we get? Well we got lots of rain today but most of it passed by overnight. My walk to the goats was dry, so that was nice. A few small rainshowers now and then during the day. But not much.
I’m almost a little disappointed. I do prefer sunny goat days, but there’s something nice about sitting in the goat house and listening to the rain. Especially if it’s a big rain storm. Like when Lisa was visiting and it started raining and thundering. My mood right now would be a good match for a big rainstorm. So I was almost looking forward to that.
But I think the goats were happy that it wasn’t raining anymore. We even when down in the pen for a bit, although the wet ground and occasional rain meant we mostly stayed up by the house.
With Jeanette off on vacation, the feathers don’t get to come out. I’m glad they’re being kept safe, but I sure miss them when they can’t come out and hang with us. And I miss Jeanette too of course. Oh well. Just three weeks. And hopefully everything will be fine while we’re ‘on our own’.
I did meet the lady taking over Jeanette’s duties today. I can’t remember her name, but she seemed nice enough. She had 3 kids ‘helping’ her with the chores. And of course me helping with feeding the goats.
But good to be back with the gang. That’s where I feel the best. My head is not complete well yet, and there’s been so much stress, and I’m sure i have put on a few pounds. Hopefully I can get into a better rhythm now. I’ll try.
For now I’m going to get into a pot of soup.

It’s funny how different countries have different ways of dealing with issues,
Let’s pick a random one for an example, just totally off the top of my head. Deepfake. Now Denmark is apparently working to give people the copyright ownership of their own features so deepfakes of them would be illegal. Meanwhile other countries are doing different things. Like say for example America. Where the leader of the country is literally posting deepfakes of political opponents.
I guess time will tell who will be on the right side of history. Meet me back here in 5 and we’ll see. Five minutes I mean.

Speaking of Giuliani, i am still watching the old snl episodes, and yesterday I watched the episode he hosted in season 23, would have been 1997 or 1998. It’s so weird seeing him being… almost likeable? And revered and cheered. It’s hard not to think, how’dya go from there to here. Of course it’s impossible to look at it without being coloured by the present dystopia we live in. I must have watched this episode back then, but I have no memoery of it and I have no idea what I thought of him. Back then I wouldn’t have had a clue who he was (better days…). But it’s pretty jarring. To his credit, he did let them poke fun at him a lot. He literally got beat up by Janet Reno. Will Ferrell as Janet Reno is hilarious, but I have a feeling it’s one of the ethings that didn’t age so well.
Watching old episodes of snl is a weird time capsule sometimes. And lots of stuff that didn’t age well. Not too long ago I watched the episode hosted by Kevin Spacey. In his monologue he was making fun of how he was a serious actor and here was doing comedy. “When you think of Kevin Spacey, the one word you think of is comedy!”. Yeah. Yeah that’s.. that’s not hte word I’m thinking of.
And Norm MacDonald. He was the funniest dude, I was a big fan. I still kind of think of him as a genius. Before reaching his stage in the snl rewatch I kind of thought his Weekend Update was the gold standard. Now that I’m watching it.. man. So many jokes are so anti-women, anti-gay, anti-trans. It’s also quite jarring. A lot of punchlines boil down to “Can you believe how ugly this woman is?” or “being gay is so gross”. And the worst one, the joke where he said that the trans woman deserved to be murdered for ‘tricking’ guys into sex (the case that inspired the Boys Don’t Cry movie). It’s really wrenching that he made that joke about a real person that was raped and murdered. Man. And after having read about his religious views, it’s hard not to wonder how many of these jokes are just jokes and how much he actually meant.
Also just watched Chris Farley’s last episode hosting. I think he died within month’s of that, and again it’s hard to watch all the jokes about how fat he is, how he has substance abuse problems, how he screws everything up. knowing how close he was to the end, it’s just heartbreaking.
The problematic stuff is getting less and less, but definitely still there at times.
Also,l how come The Ladies Man got his own movie but Lionel Osbourne didn’t? . It’s 4:49 in the am and that means you’re watching Pespectives. I love Tim Meadows
And Will Ferrell. I know i watched some of the stuff back in the Sandler/Spade/Farley years, but Will Ferrell are my earliest memories of really watching the show continuously and loving it. I still love Will.
Anyway, no point to any of this. I’m just trying to avoid reality.

i’m so glad that fb cares so much about my privacy and personal information and security, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside as they strongarm me into accepting personallized ads if i don’t want to pay to use the site.
Sheesh. If it wasn’t for all the good people, and goats, on here, I’d ditch this place in a heartbeat. I wish there was an actual good social media platform that worked well and wasn’t evil and lived up to my needs. But I guess i’m stuck in the cesspool.

Good oat times today. The day got off to a rough start with some really horrible news from a friend. Nothing to do with me or my family, but really gut wrenching. Can’t say more about it, but my thoughts go out to the people involved.
A hot and humid day. Mostly just relaxing with the goaties. i am struggling myself, but it’s just good to turn off the brain and let the pureness of goats work its magic.
I let them into the ‘back yard’ place with the chicken coop and bunny house, to let them graze a little on the untouched greens there.
They sure were tired as the sun burnt on. And so was I.
Pretty burned out.
But I’ll grab some soup now.

Wow, South Park, wow.
That was.. that was something. Haha.
And you have to love living in a world where the actual White House makes official comments about a cartoon. And they proclaim that the cartoon is not relevant. Dude, you’re the White House and you’re commenting on them, that’s the most relevant any cartoon has been since.. Well I’m definitely going to mention any Danish cartoons that ever hit any interntional news, that’s for sure.
Gotta hand it to South Park. I’m not as big a fan as I have been in the past, but I appreciate they went HARD on Trunp. In a time when media, be they mainstream or social or whatever, bow to him and kiss the ring as much as possible. it’s not even about politics, it’s just one of the most important things. You have to be able to make fun of people in power, whether it’s Trump or Biden or whoever. It’s your duty to fucking clown them
Ok. That lil Trump weenie tho..

I recently managed to teach Bella to do ‘smoochies’ as I call them. I’ll do kissy noises and she’ll get her face close to me and sniff my face. Sky will do that too.

Got myself on the bike for an hour forty today. Had to force myself to get going again. I have skipped some sessions and been eating poorlt (got more b&js). I have not been doing great. Dealing with some pain too. I have an issue going on. I will tell you all about it in a few days I think.
But yeah, I have not been doing super great. Trying to carry on and get back to better habits. I’ll be out of my expensive protein bars soon, hopefully that’ll help me get my diet back to something more sensible.

For the premium subscribers, the blooper reel has been updated.
I have tried real hard to be careful and not let the goats push the camera over. Because i can’t afford to keep buying new cameras. But Bella finally got this one.
Thankfully it was just on my small tripod, so it was just a little topple, don’t think there has been any damage. Don’t know if I should bubblewrap the cameras or just bubblewrap Bella.

Humid

July 20th, 2025

Good goat times today. A beautiful summer’s day. Lots of sunshine, through light clouds now and then. Upwards of 24C/75F. That’s hot for Denmark, hot for me! It was a humid heat especially in the morning, we had rain pass overnight. And it baked on. Had to pick up a package on my way home and I was regretting not having an iced bottle of something to drink. Phew.
But the goating was good. Some visitors passing by, but no one in the pen. Just me and the furbs and the feaths. And Jeanette, her last week before vacation. Relaxing and soaking up the sun. Making sure everyone got their snacks and time with me. I hope this is what the rest of summer will look like, warm and uncomplicated and sweet. I’ll put that on my blindr profile.
i wish I had iced creams in the freezer now. But instead I’ll have soup. That’s not going to cool me down, but it’ll be yummy.

Got an hour thirtyfive on the bike today. Going going. Then I did some chores around the house, some stuff that needed mending and taking care of.
So that’s good.
Now allow me to do some complaining, I know it’s very out of character for me. But just this once then.
Got a package delivered today. I was sitting at the computer, waiting for it. Kept refreshing the tracking page. Suddenly it said ‘delivered’. Dangit. Went out and there it was outside my door. Postman just dropped it there and didn’t even knock. Sigh not this again. Sent off a complaint to the postal service. I’m expecting another package tomorrow, I guess we’ll see what happens this time. They can’t just drop it at my door, people are constantly walking by there, and you know what humans are like. GRumble.
Had a headache all day. And now there’s a buzzing. Not in my head. Somewhere. I thought it was in my apartment, but now I’m not sure. I turned off my PC. It wasn’t that. I can’t locate the source. Maybe it’s something from the renovation going on in the building next to ours? Maybe it’s one of the neighbours? Maybe Bella paid someone to do this to me to get back at me for buzzing at her like a fly? Bzzzzz. It’s like a constant humming sound. It’s not tinnitus, i hav short bouts of that sometimes, this is an outside sound. Can’t figure out where it’s coming from though. But it’s droning my headache on. Maybe it will never stop. Maybe I will have to live the rest of my life listening to it. Does anyone have saw I can borrow, my head may need to come off.
Alright. I wish i could take some painkillers for the head, but you’re not supposed to take those after exercising. Is whati learned from watching youtube videos. Sigh.
Ok. I have something cool to show you all. But I need to eat now. So it will have to wait till later. Stay tuned.
Buzzzzzz

Old alumni update!
This week Jeanette is helping her neighbours take care of their animals, and she sent me pictures. You may remember that her neighbours were kind enough to take Sassy, Lily and Nuller when they had to be rehomed.
You may also remember that I said Lily had passed away. Turns out I was wrong, it was Sassy who passed. I can’t remember what led me to the conclusion that it as Lily, but in any case I was wrong.
It’s still very sad that Sassy passed of course. But I must admit I am happy that Nuller still has his momma. I’m pretty sure Sassy was the oldest. I believe she was Lily’s mother, but I am not completely sure about that. But the fact that Nuller boy still has his little Lily momma, that is a good thing. I remember being very sad to think of him losing his mother.
Jeanette says they are doing well, and it looks like it. I still feel guilt over it. Getting them used to having a crazy goat guy showering them with treats and affection. And then taking it away from them. But i know, it was not my decision. It was not up to me. And it could have turned out a lot worse. I am glad they got a good home. They may not have a crazy goat Lasse, but they are loved and well taken care of. Owners that would drive them to the other end of the country to save them when sick. So that is a good outcome for them after all. And I am happy to see them again. Wish I could see Milo. And I wnoder if any of our other old goats are still out there. Surely Peanut, Popcorn, Fuzzy and the Ping Pong twins would still potentially be going. I sure hope so.
The goats have blessed my life, but it sure hurts when you have to say goodbye.

I know suspect the humming sound is a UFO hovering outside my window. It’s witing to kidnap me and take me away to a planet inhabited by clones of Kristen Bell, where pizza grows on trees and the waterfalls are soup. So if you don’t hear from me again, be happy for me!
Also by the way, I am not really impressed by ants. I can also lift ten times the bodyweight of an ant, you don’t hear me bragging about it.
Okay, I should probably go to bed. I don’t want that UFO to take off without me. The berries are out there.

Another day, another package left at the front door without the postman even knocking. Two in a row. Another complaint sent to the postal service. I know, first world problems. But it really bugs me. You can’t just drop packages in front of the door in a ground level apartment in full view from the outside. If I hadn’t known it was coming and hadn’t been checking the tracking site every 5 minutes, chances are it would have gotten stolen. Must be a new postman, the old one used to knock and was really nice. Hopefully this is just a vacation replacement or something. I don’t need anxiety over losing packages too.
At least the humming seems to be gone. And I didn’t get kidnapped by a UFO. You can’t win them all.

Good goat times today. A grey morning. It rained overnight. Got a few drops while I was out, but some sunshine too. And a humid heat. Up around 24C/75F. The humidity is not pleasant at all.
But good to spend time with the goats again. i came bearing gifts today. Not for the goats, unfortunately. But for Jeanette. Remember that old guitar I have? Haha, probably no one remembers. I don’t even really remember why I got it. I made one joke video with it and that was it. Was that all my plans for it? I don’t even know. Surely I wasn’t planning on learning to actually play it. Anyway, it’s one of the things I wanted to get rid of as part of the big cleanup. And I asked Jeanette if they wanted it. So today I brought it with me. Kind of funny walking the streets with a guitar in hand. Hopefully they can find a use for it at the playground. The youth club there, the kids, anyone. Better than throwing it out.
Of course I brought peanuts and raisins for the goats, so it’s not like they walked away empty hoofed.
And other than that, it was mostly just relaxing in the humid heat. Some visitors came by, but no one that i interacted with. Got to sit a lot with Sky. Luna was sitting up on the platform, Bella was snoring on the bench. Both of them tired. So I could sit alone with Sky, without having to lock anyone out to get peace. That was nice. I love my Sky time.
Now I’m going to enjoy some soup time.

I have had a major headache for days, on and off, but it feels like it’s building. Got so bad after coming home that I started thinking I may need to seek medical attention. Seems to have lessened after eating my sops. Maybe the hot liquid soothed it. I should try dipping my head in the pot next time.
The headache is still there, even if it lessened somewhat. I may need to do something about it. But you know me. I’ll saw it off before going to the doctor.
Well, I’ll see. Got a Protein & Pepsi delivey scheduled for tomorrow. Really regretting not putting any iced creams in the order. I could use some mango B&Js. Oh well.
Maybe a pot of soup and a tub of iced cream. And then dipping my head back and forth into them. Yes. I believe that treatment is officially sanctioned by Doctor Brainworm.

A little Sky moment to end the day. Off to bed. Hopefully i’ll feel better tomorrow. I must admit i’m a little concerned. But hey I’m sure it’s fine.

Hallo, good day. How are you?
I am feeling better, to a point. But that’s after a good night of sleep with painkillers, melatonin and CBD oil. So, we’ll see how my state progresses. My head is feeling better, but I there’s something lurking. So we’ll see.
Oppressive humid heat. I accidentally typed ‘oppressive human heat’. Yeah yeah. That’s not good either. Got my protein&pepsi delivery, really wish i’d gotten iced creams too.

Got an hour forty on the bike today. Wasn’t sure if I should do it, given how I’ve been feeling and the oppressive humid heat. But I went for it. And it went okay. Felt good to burn. I did have one little spell when I got that feeling I used to get before balcking out. The sense memories and the world spinning like a whirlpool drawing me in. But i didn’t black out. I did feel a little memory lapse after it. Like i forgot my rhythm on the bike. I was doing intervals and i had to ‘find my way back’ into the rhythm. Like I forgot how many seconds I do what. Kind of like how when I had blackouts I’d forget where and when I was, and I had to find my way back, in my head, to what day it was and where I was. Maybe I had a mini blackout now. But then I imagine I would have fallen off the bike. It’s a weird and scary feeling when you sort of lose your thoughts. My memory is bad too. Sometimes my short terme memory feels fried. I find myself making little songs in my head if I have to remember something. Till I can get to my computer and note it down in my text file, where I keep reminders of things to do. And names of famous people or tv shows or things like that, sometimes they disapper from my memory. Yeah with the dementia in my family, I am pretty sure I am heading in that direction too, sooner or later.
Anyway, feeling fairly ok now. Tired. And the headache is there. But not too terrible. Trying to drink plenty of water, with electrolytes. Still very much regretting not ordering the magno b&js.
Got windows opens and two fans going. Next week it’s going to cool down, but the forecast says we’ll get some massive rains too.
I’m going to have me potaters and noodiles now. Yum yum get sum.

The lastest episode of Rick & Morty was my favorite of the season, by a lot. Unfortunately this season has been pretty poor in my opinion.
But this episode I really enjoyed. Maybe because it was (multiple) Jerry centric. I love Jerry. Ooh, human music!
And also because well.. they visited the goat dimension. You know. Yeah. That’s relevant to my interests.
