The Rules Of Hesitation

October 22nd, 2008

The vent people came today. And checked the vents. I think the vents are okay. It only took a few minutes and wasn’t too bad. That should clear my obligations for the near future. Now I only have to worry about that Greenland trip. But let’s not think about that right now.

I stopped by the playground yesterday. It started raining just as the goats were let out.

Magnethe was not impressed and didn’t seem to want to come out. It helped a bit when Alice came with a loaf of bread, though.

That got them to come out.

A bunny wanted to take part in the feast too. I was expecting the goats to chase it away, but I guess they didn’t mind sharing this time. Now I’ve seen it all.

I had brought my squirt bottle and was planning to see if I could teach Magnethe not to be so wild. What did she decide to do? She decided to not be wild at all. You can never count on those darn goats to do as you expect. I don’t know if it was the slight drizzle from above or the loaf of bread on the ground or if she was just in a good mood. But she didn’t play any dominance games at all. Not even when the bread was all gone and the drizzle had dried out. So my squirt bottle remained in my bag and I settled for just socializing instead.

I think her winter coat is starting to come in. Getting a little pale and thicker fur.

And as Alice noted, her belly is starting to get that triangular shape… hoping for kids at the end of the year.

And hopefully lambs sooner. White sheep coming close, black sheep backing off slightly. I didn’t get to ask their names. I talked to Alice, Kurt and Per. And still didn’t manage to do it. I am much better at socializing with goats.

She’s been sick, the black one. Kurt told us. But she’s better now. So that’s good. She’s sweet, but still insecure. I’m trying to get her more used to the human touch. But it takes time of course.

There’s always time. And now it’s time to go.

October 20th, 2008

I got the email back from the insurance company today. All seems to be in order. Tomorrow I’ll go to my parents place and print out the forms so I can sign them and mail them back. Then it should all be set.

And I didn’t get a stack of junk mail this weekend. The “no junk mail please” sticker was supposed to take a couple of weeks to start working, but it seems to work already. Unless the delivery boy got lazy and dumped all the ads in the dumpster and no one got anything. Who knows.

But everything seems to be going according to plan.

Spent some time depressed in bed today. With the demons dancing in my head. They are so inconsiderate. They party all the time and they turn up the volume and no matter how much I pound on my head they just keep going. If only there was some way to blow them out.

Other than that all is swell.
