Good goat times today. I had been wondering if all the downpour the forecast talked about would be rain or snow. Well it was mostly rain. It seemed to turn into a bit of snow now and then. But I think it rained through most of the night. Most of the snow was washed away. More rain to come in the forecast.
So it was a day inside with the goats. Frisky goats in small contained areas makes for a fun time anyway. Running around, competing for treats and attention.
When I got there Jeanette came out and said she had a present for me. Turns out it was a ski coat. Big warm looking one. It had been her son’s, but I think she said she wasn’t sure if he’d ever worn it. Well, she’s always concerned about me staying warm so she thought I could have it. I tried it on and unfortunately it was just a tad too small. I could get it on, but it wasn’t comfortable. If I lose a couple more pounds maybe. Too bad, but ah it just goes to show how sweet Jeanette is, I really appreciate that she cares about me, and the goats. She found another pallet that I can put to use in the goat house too.
Pretty pretty good day, although I’d like some sun and warmer weather soon, please.
I feel like my condition is improving. I have started doing some new back exercises and stretches, well they’re old ones that I used to do actually, I think they are helping a bit. Along with the biking. For the first time in a good while I could make the morning walk to the goats without having to stop and sit down for a break halfway there. My back a bit better and my fitness condition a bit better. I hope that’s a sign that things are improving, and not just a temorary relief. There’s still room for improvement, but it wasn’t too bad today.
Now, more soup.

If you’re following the goat page you can see the arrival of the new big christmas tree last week. Here is what’s left of it today. There’s quite a lot left, it was standing out in the rain. I decided to drag it into the goat bedroom and as soon as it got out of the rain the goats attaacked it again. It might be a bit too big to stay in their bedroom, but it’s nice for them to have stuff to do when they’re boarded up for the night.

A while ago Keiko asked what was in the building I walk past in the videos when I walk towards the goat pen. Well, today after trying on the coat Jeanette offered me, I thought I’d just get out the camera and show you all. It’s just a two second spin around, nothing interesting there really. There are meetings in there sometimes I think, other than that I just think it’s where Jeanette hangs out during the work day mostly. Just a place closer to the animals than the main building.

Literally one minute after I got home today, the doorbell rang. It was the mailman, delivering my CBD oil package. Great timing, I’m glad I was there to get it. As I said earlier, I was in less pain today. But there was still some pain. So I thought I’d just pop a capsule right away. I am not sure if it really did anything. Harder to tell when the pain isn’t so great. But I just wanted to get started and try it. I’m only going to take them when I go out goating. I’m not sure if that’s the best idea, maybe you get a better effect if you just take it evey day continously. But the stuff I got wasn’t exactly cheap and if I take some every day then I’ll run out in 3 weeks. I’d rather make it last longer. And the pain is only really a problem when I’m up and standing or walking a lot.
One capsule has 15% in it. I asked the place I got it what their recommendaton and experience was when it comes to pain management. They said 15% was for stress and discomfort. 15-30% for pain. And 40-50% fpr extreme pain. So. I figure next time I go out I’ll take two capsules and see if I feel it has an effect. I have had extreme pain I’d say, so I could try 3 capsules too. But today it wasn’t really extreme. And who knows, maybe the exercise and stretches will get me to a place where I don’t need the CBD at all. One can hope. I’ll let you know if I have any interesting findings. At least I’ve tried it now and survived. I didn’t want to take it before going out and then end up passing out while outside haha.
Oh yeah by the way, I did one of the new stretches while I was at the goat place. I believe it’s called the child’s pose in yoga. Kneeling down and leaning forward. Now, can you guess what happened when I did that? Yeah it didn’t take long before I had a goat on my back. Not sure if it was Luna or Bella, but she was pretty light so it was probably Luna. Probably not the best idea for my back. But it didn’t hurt. And I think doing that stretch right before leaving helped me feel better when I was doing shopping and going home. But hey I got some goat yoga, good for me!

Anyway, congratulations to the team that won the super bowl, they sure won that thing, I was like whoat they’re winning and then they did and that was that, what a sportsgame. Okay okay in my book if it’s not a 90 minute long boring 0-0 draw then it’s not real football, kiss my grits.

And for those who are just here for the goats. Here’s what I did with the new pallet Jeanette found. Wasn’t sure if I should put it on the left side, but I think I will wait till I hopefully get a few more pavement tiles to build a stairway leading up on the left too. For now it’s a nice and wide staiway on the right. Amd Sky is wondering why the human is messing with that stuff instead of giving her treats.

Well I was going to post a valentines photo from the goat page collection, but then I go to the photo album and I only get a limited amount of photos, can’t scroll down to see them all. I go to my own photo albums and I get even fewer photos in the albums, if I look at my own photo albums it only loads 8 pictures. What the fork.
Could some of you do me the favour and go to my photo album at here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10160215975013657&type=3
And tell me if it loads more than 8 photos for you (in grid view), and if you’re on desktop or mobile and what browser you’re using.
I tried another browser and it was the same thing. Tried going to one of Keiko’s albums. Same thing. Forks sake. What’s the point of a photo album if it doesn’t show all the photos?

Not feeling so great today. Extremely tired. I didn’t make it out of bed this morning. I did make an hour and change on the exercise bike when I got up, so that’s something. But I’m feeling extremely worn out and my back is killing me. I am not sure if I overdid my back stretches or did them wrong or something, but I’m not feeling good right now. Boo erns. I just want to go to bed.

Oh and it seems the facebox photo album thing from yesterday is fixed, I can see all the photos in all the albums now, so that’s good. Don’t know what the fb engineers were doing yesterday, I think they let goats eat the code or something.

One from today’s exercise mix.
Made it 1h15 on the bike. That seems to be my limit at the moment. Not so much because of my legs, but more because of my butt. After an hour on the bike it just gets really sore. Feels like I’ve gotten a paddling from a headmaster in a Morrissey song for being a naughty boy.
Felt good though. The sun came out while I was going. I love having the sun coming in behind me, the spaceheater going in front of me. In my rain coat, pedaling into the zone.
Brought in the arm exercises for the first time too. Got my metal rod with the bendy middle. Man, doing that while biking really gets the pulse going and gets me out of breath. I enjoy it, so far sticking to it.
My back is getting a little better again, only did mild stretches today. Still suffering a bit from whatever happened last time. Hopefully I’ll be ok for the next goat trip. I’m trying.

It’s 9:20 pm and the elephants upstairs have decided to rearrange their furniture. Swell
You know what’s funny? There’s some kind of renovation going on upsairs, has been for a long long time. But it’s mainly in weekends. During the week there’s usually some kind of normal noise in the building. But the powersaws and floor sanding and furniture rearranging and drilling and all that. That’s usually during the weekend. I just love that on the days I want to sleep a little later than usual, we get powersawing at 8 am. I mean, that’s not an unreasonably early hour to do stuff, but it’s the weekend. Can’t you wait till 10 am?
On the plus side, the dancing children seem to not be so active anymore. It used to be almost every week day that they’d start stompin the floor at 7 am. It still happens occasionally, I guess it’s when they get up to go to school or something. But at least not so often anymore.
Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go yell at some clouds. You clouds get off my lawn!
Oh, and I’m happy to have Jon Stewart back. If America is going to degenerate into endles stupidity as two senior citizen monkey in tutus fight over who gets to ring the giant bell then I prefer it to be narrated by Stewart.

Good goat times today. Out and about. Fairly grey day, but mild compared to what we have lurking around the corner. Forecast looks like a scary movie.
Anyway, just good to be with the goats of course. Rain or shine, goats need their treats. Several groups of visitors too, seeing the goats and other animals. Jeanette always does such a great job with visitors. Kids got to look for chicken eggs. Unfortunately the feathers are back in lockdown, I hope we’ll still get to see them outside on occasion. But Fear The Fox, as we say here.
We went out and spent some time on the bench. Thought it would be a good idea since it wasn’t too wet and muddy, and since we probably won’t be able to do that again for a bit. Okay okay enough with the doomsday prophecies.
My back was in tremendous pain on my way home. Now I’m starving and tired. Debating whether to take a nap before bedtime. Definitely going to inhale a pot of soup, though. That’s for sure.

Jeanette got a new mineral block (especially designed for goats) and of course it didn’t take long before there was a goat on it. Luna is small enough to stand on it.

Exhausted and pained from yesterday, lost in exquisite and horrible dreams. Ended up in bed for 12ish hours. But when I got up I got on the bike and did an hour, so that makes up for it, right? I’ve been doing the exercising for a couple of weeks now? You can really tell by my butt. No, it’s not smaller or tighter, it just hurts after sitting on the bike for an hour. Hardy harr harr. I think my legs are getting stronger, though. Felt easier on resistance level 6. Super hard last week, today felt easier, went about 10 minutes before starting to lower it.
Onw day a day. I don’t dare look out the window.

I can’t fathom why anyone would think a President having total immunity would be a good idea. If anything the leader of a country should be MORE accountable than some Joe Schmo factory worker or cab driver. Doesn’t matter what side you’re on, would you want the leader of the other side to be able to do whatever the heck he wanted with no chance of repercussion or consequence?
Anyway. I have been pretty good about not talking about politics, and I’ll try to keep that up. Because there’s so much I could say. But there’s no point in incriminating myself, since I unfortunately do not have total immunity.
Yet..

Guess what I did? I ordered CBD oil. Capsules. I did some research on it some months ago, thinking I would try it. But then I never did. But, I figure I’ll give it a try and see if it can help with my back pain. Nothing gained nothing lost. Other than money, of course. It would be nice if it could help, but I’m not really expecting much. Just don’t want to let that avenue go unexplored.
Hooves crossed.

Watching old Step By Step episodes, and they’re stuck in a box (season 5, ideas getting thinner) and Cody has to use a ‘cellular phone’. A giant thing that has to be unfolded with an antenna that has to be pulled out. Haha. The good old days.
I love the codeman. If there is an infinite number of alternate realities, then there must be some where he didn’t get unjustly framed for spousal abuse and he stayed on the show instead of getting fired, and I want to go to there. Dude.
Also enjoying the old episodes of SNL. I loved Tom Hanks’ fake outtakes from Big where he was a jerk to all the kids, especially after the whole episode everyone had been going on about how he was the nicest guy in Hollywood. Not sure you could play the “Jew, Or No Jew” gameshow today though. Another highlight, Dana Carvey and Robin Williams as father and son. Dana doing a manic Robin Williams impression. And then after he leaves Robin revealing ‘I never had the heart to tell him he was adopted’.
I kinda wish you could get high from CBD oil, it would be fun watching old snl on that.

Good goat times today. Absolutely gorgeous day. Sunny and stunning. Snow on the ground, but not was much as I had feared. Almost slipped on some patches of ice where there wasn’t snow, but I stayed upright. We’re in for a bunch more snow the coming days, hopefully it won’t get too bad.
But today was a picture perfect winter day. Freezing but beautiful. Got out for some time in the snow with the goats, it’s easier when there’s not so much of it. Had some fun running around, although I nearly got knocked out by Luna. She seems to have picked up on the fact that I enjoy when they do their twirly jump-starts to running, so she’s doing it a lot. But she managed to do it right into me as I was moving foward fast and I staggered around a bit before regaining my balance. She said it was an accident but I’m suspecting she was hoping to knock me over and all the treats come out of my pocket like a pinata. I’ll have to keep an eye on her.
Nice visitors from the neighbour school too, and Jeanette lighting up the fireplace again.
Oh and we had a breakout. When it was time for me to go, Jeanette was in the pen too. I opened the gate and went out and I thought she said “I’m right behind you” but it turns out she said “she’s right behind you”. And then Bella was out of the pen. And then Luna slipped out when we tried luring Bella in. Haha. It wasn’t a problem though, I just went back in the pen and rustled my treat pocket and they came right back in. And then we were more careful when I went out again. It’s not like there’s anything too interesting for them outside the pen, just snow as far as the eye can see.

Good sooup times today. Trekked out to my parents place for a souptogether with the fambly. Our wobbly gang. My brother has been off work for a while because of arm problems. And we’re all just limping along. I made the walk okay though. Took about 30 minutes. I still have back problems but I can feel that the biking has started to help, I can walk along without being completely deadfinished after 5 minutes. So that’s something. It was a bit rainy and there were patches of ice and snow that I had to watch out for. The weather forecast has been hard to judge, there have been warnings of lots of snow but it doesn’t seem to have been too bad, I’m wonder if the rest is just going to come down as rain and wash everything away. We’ll see.
But the soup is good, it’s always good. now I have leftovers in the fridge for a couple of days. Mama’s homemade soup is always better than the stuff I can throw together. So I wll enjoy that.

Watched a Youtube video about old cassette audiobooks (Stegelmann er gud) and it triggered a lot of fond memories. I think I have talked about the old Star Wars audio tapes before. They were translated to Danish and had sound effects and music and looking at them today they look sooo crummy and poor and hilariously dumb, but you gotta remember that was before every kid had a T and a VCR in their bedroom. We might not have had a VCR in the living room by then. Being able to listen to the Star Wars story on tape over and over and hear R2 beeping and everything, it was awesome.
But then in the comments someone was talking about the Tintin comics on audiotape and the unlocked more memories. I used to go to the library (as a kid I was the kind of kid that biked to the library at least once a week probably) and I’d come home with these plastic sleeves with cassette tapes of the Tintin stories. I can’t rememeber if I got cassettes of other things, I guess I probably did. But I specifically remember Tintin because I remember getting a tape of the story of the comic book The Black Island. In that story there is a monster, it later turns out to be a gorilla, and on the tape it made these horrible growls and screams and it scared me so much that I never finished the tape! I can’t remember how old I was, just I was just a kid and that monster scared me so much that I returned the tape without finishing it.
Oh that reminds me further, speaking of not finishing scary things and also Star Wars, I think I’ve told this story before too, but the first time Star Wars was broadcast on Danish TV I got scared by the beginning with the storm troopers and Darth Vader and I stopped watching it. And then on the playground I tried bullshirting my way in conversation with older kids, pretending I had totally watched the whole thing. Haha.
Sorry, my mind just went off on a nostalgic trip to neverneverland.

It’s 1:30 pm, I have held out long enough. It’s time for soup. That’s the nice thing about being a hobo recluse, I can have dinner when I want to. I can have dessert before dinner, I can have dessert before AND after dinner. I can have three times dessert and no dinner. I’m a bad boy I’m a rebel. But right now I just want that leftover soup.
