Today was the last day of the Danish footie season. Unfortunately Brøndby lost and so we have slipped from first place to third place in the last three rounds of the tournament. Bummer. However, after two disastrous seasons it’s just good to be back in the top again. And also uplifting was the fact that I could sort of watch the game. Not comfortably well. But I could make out most of the action. And when you consider that a week ago I had to give up watching because even the closeups were useless to me, then this was an improvement. I’m not sure how much, and again maybe the light was just better or something. But it continues the feeling that things have gotten a little better after the last acupuncture season, at least that the rapid downfall has been halted somewhat. It’s just nice to be feeling things other than total desperation and terror. If you know what I mean.

Too bad about your team. But “hooray” that you were able to watch some of it.

We had a nice goatzie and donkey walk today. Lots of out-of-pen time since the weather has been so nice. I just love those goatzies sooo much. John Boy and Billy have been with us for 4 years now and Frankie for 3 years.

I can’t image life without them. They are just the greatest little goats I know. Well, except for a few certain “Danish goatzies”! And of course, the greatest goat of them all, the late Mads!

Debster – We are lucky to have such great goat friends. We should all get together for a picnic some day, I’m sure all the goats would like to meet each other. Maybe there will even be room for a donkey girl at the picnic basket.

Donkey girl would want to “eat the picnic basket”!

Do you know how much I am loving Jonathan Coulton? So much that I went to his website and bought all his MP3s for 70 bucks americano. That’s how much. Great stuff. He is just so much fun. And some of his songs are quite sad and beautiful too. Like the tragic tale of the suicidal vampire in Blue Sunny Day. Or I Crush Everything about a giant squid who hates himself. Excellent. I could have gone on just listening to his songs on youtube for free (with all the fun crowd stuff in them as well) but I figured I’d support him with some money, since I have enough of it anyway. He is an “internet musician” and I’d like to support that in this day and age where most major record labels are evil, fascist empires. It warms the heart to know your money is going straight to the artist.

I wish I could get a pair of bionic eyes like in The Future Soon. When all the things that make me weak and strange get engineered away…

Other than that there is not much new. I can still see, at least. I’m not sure if it has gotten a little worse or not. But at least it still feels slightly better than just before the last acupuncture. So that’s something. If I could freeze my sight as it is now then I would probably do it. It’s not good, not at all. It’s horrible really. But the fear of total blindness is much worse. It’s bad now, but at least I can do things. With time and effort. I would settle for that if it meant not going blind. It is the fear and uncertainty that is the worst. Waking up every morning and trying to focus on the handlebars of the exercise bike next to my bed, to see if I can still see them. Turning on the computer and wondering if I can still read the text. That uncertainty is a horrible thing to live with. But I am thankful that I can still see some. I am trying to keep my spirits up. And now I’m going to cut this entry short.

Cut.
