Took a little goat trip yesterday. Here is a little goat video: youtube.com/watch?v=xqYvrCwxoPQ.

Vanilje really looks, and acts, pregnant now. She must be farther along than Magnethe. I would think. She sat down in the hay and did lots of little moany-groany goat noises. Maybe something will be happening soon? You never know.

The snow and ice is all gone. After sitting on the bench for five minutes I took off my scarf. It’s not warm exactly, but it’s no longer freezing. How lovely. I love that I can turn off the heaters and take off the scarves and legwarmers. Much much better.

Other than that there is not much new. I had blood tests done at the doctor’s on Wednesday. Completely forgotten that I was supposed to have my quarterly diabetes check in the beginning of March. I only remembered on my birthday in fact, halfway through the month. Good thing they have an online booking system. So I could quickly book an appointment and a couple of days later it was all done. Hopefully everything is still okay, as it has been so far.

Also, I am currently working on top secret projects. They keep me easily amused.

Today is the big day!

Yes, today is the anniversary of My Fair Lady’s first opening on Broadway in 1956!

Also, my birthday.

It’s been quite a good day. My father was feeling well enough for us to have our party. And you know I party hardy.

Okay, not that hardy. But it was a nice little time. My dad came and picked me up, we walked to my parents’ house. Pretty much no snow and ice left on the streets now, that makes it so much easier for me to get around.

We had cake. A lovely biscuit-chocolate thing, that I had requested my mother make for the occasion. Kikskage. I always loved that, but haven’t had it since the whole diabetes thing. You know. But I figured that I could allow myself the treat today. It was really good too.

A little later on we headed downtown to Rådhus Caféen. Our regular place. Where I had my regular pork dish. Very good as well. And that was the extent of the partying. I decided to cancel the discotheque visit after all. (That part is a joke).

There was only one present for me this year, but it was a very juicy 1.5 terabyte external hard drive. Oh my, that’s a lot of storage. I’m going to use it to do a complete backup of all my other drives. And then tuck it away someplace safe. At my parents’ I guess. So in case of a fire or burglary or natural disaster I won’t have to start again from scratch. That’s the plan, Stan. Did you see Stan Lee on The Big Bang Theory? That was great. I can’t wait for the return of evil Wil Wheaton. But that’s not important right now.

Thank you to everyone who have left me birthday wishes here and on Facebook too. And to Corrie for the card and uncle Jens for the call. You guys are great. I am, as always, very grateful for the support and kindness. And the fact that you put up with me. I don’t know how you guys do it. But keep it up!

Hopefully my birthday next year will be under slightly better circumstances. Sight-wise. Or at least not worse. I hope the worst is behind me and the next year will be stable and perhaps even a little better.

As always, fingers crossed. As long as there are fingers left, I will cross them
