Refresh The World

May 26th, 2010

Got a little scare last night, as my mother called from the hospital. My dad had been admitted with pains in the right side. Gallstone.

He’s back home today and doing okay. He has had scans and tests done, so now we’ll see what happens. I don’t know if he’ll need surgery or just medicaiton. But as long as he’s okay. Fingers crossed for that.

Yesterday I had my foot therapy. So my feet are nice and smooth now. Today I went and saw the goats. The kids are so big now, far away from the tiny little babies they were when they first arrived. They are getting quite pushy too. Butting me in the side and legs when they get the chance. It’s fun for me, but I hope they don’t make too much trouble for the visiting kids.

A couple of videos:

I’m not sure what they’re doing exactly. But it’s been going on for more than a week now. It makes it a little hard for me to find my way around there. But I’ve managed so far.

So there you go.

Where The Fields Were Green

May 23rd, 2010

We have had lovely, summery days here in Denmark. I wish they would last forever, but unfortunately the weather forecast says it will cool down next week. Too bad.

We even had a little thunderstorm. Perfect for Danish summer. I don’t think it lasted more than 10 minutes or so. I was sitting in my comfy chair, watching TV. I had my balcony door in the other end of the apartment open, to let the breeze in. Because it was so hot. Then suddenly the loud bangs of thunder came roaring in and the raindrops started dancing outside. Sweet sounds. And very soon after that the sun and warmth was back. Maybe not four seasons in a day, but two or three at least.

Right now I am in waiting position. Tonight is the big Lost finale. Which means I’ll get to watch it tomorrow morning. It is a big deal to me. My favourite TV show of all time. I remember some time last year I wasn’t sure if I would even be able to watch it. My eyesight was getting so bad that I didn’t know if I would be able to follow the last season. And I was feeling so bad that I didn’t even know if I’d still be around. So I’m happy that it looks like I have made it. Just one more day.

I don’t want it to end, though.

But all good things…

Also, I am waiting for foot therapy on Tuesday. And then doctor’s appointment the next Tuesday for diabetes blood test. And then a week and a half later it will finally be time for the eye surgery. If all goes well.

So that’s my schedule for the next feew weeks. Also, I might be able to fit in some goat time. If I am lucky. Speaking of goat time, here is some goat time: youtube.com/watch?v=o0y3kbNcAgg. Some fun jumping around in the sun.

And also, I wrote a little letter for my friend Katt’s unborn baby. You can read it here in her blog. That’s the third time someone I’ve known for a long time on the internets gets a baby. It’s quite a strange, and wonderful thing. I am sure River Phoenix will be another wonderful kid. It’s good to know that there are good genes being passed on out there.

Now, back to waiting.
