Full Of It

March 10th, 2024

Good goat times today. Nice day out with the furs and the feathers. And Jeanette with some fresh pine trimmings. Kept dry, which was nice. Pretty cold though. And the forecast ahead shows temperatures below freezing to come, so it may technically be spring, but we’re not really feeling it much yet. Well, I’m feeling the light. The mornings are a lot lighter, and that does help. Hope we’ll get some shunshine shoon. The goats were happy with their pine and treats. I brought some pumpkin seeds for them for the first time in a long while. The kids have only tried them once before, that time I put them out on the black tub. But it was too dirty and they didn’t really want much of them. Today I put them out on one of the platforms out in the pen. They sure wanted them today. Unfortunately doing it up on the high platform proved problematic too, because Sky was all “MINE MINE MINE” and pushed Bella and Luna off the platform several times. They were fine, but I don’t really like the risk of them getting hurt when they fall of the platform. So we probably won’t be doing it up there again either. Maybe spreading them out on the pavement tiles will work, I guess I can try that some time. I do enjoy watching the goaties slurp up all the pumpkin seeds. It’s an amusing feast.
I’m going to have myself an amusing soup feast now.

At one point today I realised I couldn’t see Luna anywhere. Then I spotted her. She’d walked down through the pen to the platform by herself. She was cleaning up leftover pumpkin seeds. Without the risk of being pushed down by the big girls.

Good exercise time today. Got an hour and a half in on the bike, worked the arms too. Felt good. Things are trending the right way. Usually when I say that everything goes wrong, so let’s hope the universe is watching tv and not paying attention to me!
ADDED: I thought I’d lost my Facebook account there. It wouldn’t accept my password. Even though it’s a saved password in the browser. Wouldn’t work. I cleared my cookies. Tried to log in. Had to confirm it was me. Took a minute for the txt to come on my phone with the code. Logged in. Page said “something went wrong, we’re working on it”. Well looks like I’m in my account now. Looks like everything is normal. Maybe it was a glitch. That was kind of scary. Sometimes when I think of what would happen if I lost my fb account there’s a part of me that thinks, well just eff it then. Walk away, imagine all the free time you’d get to do other things. But then I’d miss all you guys! And i’d miss goatposting. I hope things work now.

FB and IG down on Super Tuesday? I think we all know this is a conspiracy from the liberal elite commies, and/or the right wing deep state nerzis. THE SUPREME COURT WAS REPLACED BY FUNKO POP CLONES, wake up sheeple! Do your own research! Build the wall, and then get wile e coyote to paint a train tunnel on it READ THE BIBLE it’s all in there it’s just like Tolkien you have to read the appendixes too, don’t have them removed it’s just an anti vax hoax hax snax wakka wakka wakka

Hi. It’s 4:40 am and I’m supposed to be sleeping. Apparently I am not sleeping. I am not feeling so good. Constipated. I don’t think I’ve had a proper bowel movement in a couple of days. Sorry for the tmi. Usually I have problems in the other direction, but now it all feels blocked. The only thing I can think of to cause it is some new painkillers I tried Monday, which is when it started I think. The codeine kind, which I can read has potential constipation as a side effect. But i’ve taken those once before without any problems I think, so I don’t know. Can’t think of anything else I’ve done differently really.
I don’t know. Righ now I am sitting at the computer and eating sugarfree bonbons. Because. Well if you’ve ever eaten a whole bag of sugarfree candy in one go, you know what kind of effects that has… So we’ll see how that goes. Pray for my toilet.
Sorry, I just wanted to write all this down so that if I die now you’ll all know I died from shirtting. Carry on.

I pooped! The sugarfree candy did it’s thing. Hooray, I was as happy as Keiko when a goat poops.
I hope my system will start functioning correctly again now. Thanks for the suggestions and sympathy. Wasn’t a fun night, but a relief to get unclogged.

For the premium subscribers, a little outtake. I was getting ready to give the pumpkin seeds to the goats when I noticed my camera was flashing the Low Battery sign. I didn’t want it to shut down in the middle of a pumpkin seed party, so I thought i’d just put it down and let it film nothing until it rain out of juice and I could replace the battery.
Well of course you can’t put a camera down without goats wanting to mess with it. Even though it wasn’t on a tripod, Bella still had to see if she could do something to it. No camera is safe with her around.
Been a stressful day with the tummy problems, barely any sleep and then browser problems to deal with. Would rather have been out goating. But it’s 4pm, I feel like going to bed already.

My stomach is returning to more or less normal, I think. Hooves crossed.
Boy, I sure could go for a tall frosty mug of not hearing anymore about politics for the rest of the year, though. That’d hit the spot.

Good goat times today. We got some sunshine, which was nice. But it was still really cold. Night temps below freezing I think. But at least it’s lighter. And speaking of segways, a chair is also lighter when no one is sitting on it. Luna learned that when she went underneath my chair and used it as a backscratcher, rubbing her back up against the underside of the chair. Which quickly toppled over and fell out of the house on the ground, spooking her in the process. Oh dear.
Sky got spooked too, by me. It was her own fault, though. She was trying to headbutt one of the kids, but my knee was in the way. So she headbutted my knee which made me burst out an OW which freaked her out and sent her running. Oh dear oh dear.
Other than that it was a nice time, with sweet visitors and sweet (mostly) goats.

I’m not doing so great. I think my stomach may be trouled again, not completely sure. Haven’t taken those painkillers again since Monday, so if there’s still a problem it wouldn’t be because of them. Was in a lot of pain Thursday, back still recovering. Been alternately sleeping too much and not enough. Was going to cook up a pot of soup earlier today, bt instead ended up napping for 5ish hours. Still feel very tired. Woried about my parents. Depressed, feeling very down right now. Eyesight super blurry. Feeling like a hopeles mess, tra la. Suppose I’ll try to make that soup. Just want to sleep, forever and a day.It’s too cold and the neighbours are noisy.
Sorry bout the Bitching & Moaning.

Snerkleberks. My stomach is definitely still not good. I am constipated again. Been going for a few days not being sure if things were working or not. But by now, they’re definitely not. Eating a bag of sugarfrees now to clear things out, like I did on Wednesday. But I know this isn’t a sustainable solution. If this keeps going I will have to go see the doctor. You know how I feel about going to see the doctor. Sigh.
It’s influencing my sleep which is influencing my eyesight which is influencing my depression and then there’s the back pain and the way the whole world is going. I just wish it would all go away.
I got an eye doc appointment in a few days. I have been feeling the last few months likke my eyesight has been deteriorating. I feel like the last many times I have been to see the eye doc I have said I felt like it had gotten a bit worse, but we’ve always measured it to be the same and stable. This time I really do feel like there has been changes, harder to read stuff on the computer. And not just because of the current problems, for a longer time. We’ll see what the doc says, if he can see any difference. Wonder if I’ll have to have a cataract surgery again at some point, but the thought of haing surgery on my one seeing eye is terrifying to me. But I’ll worry about that bridge when I jump off it.
I just wish things would settle down. I don’t need a great life, I just want a fairly straight line, without pain and panic even if it’s without great joy. The goats make me happy and I’m fine sitting at home doing my thing on my own, I don’t need a normal or joyous life, I just don’t want to be bothered.
bla dee blah blah. We’ll see what the eye doc says and how the stomach thing goes. I’ve been trying to think of what could be causing the constipation. I noticed the start on Monday when I tried those codeine painkillers, but I haven’t taken those since Monday so I can’t imagine they’re still borking my system. I have been eating less bread, maybe I haven’t been getting enough fiber. But I ate bread yesterday and it doesn’t seem to have sone any difference. Maybe I need MORE BREAD. I’m going to buy some stuff with more fiber, see if that makes a difference. I can’t think of any other changes to my diet. Maybe my back is so broken that it’s blocking my bowels. But then there’s a free lane when I take the sugarfrees…
Well I’ll stop my rambling. Enjoy your Sunday!

Here’s a little goat content, thanks for all the suggestions and sympathies again. And Luna says thanks for the hay.

As a person with disability I find it really sad seeing Trump mock disabled people, and the crowd cheering. I will never understand how people who proclaim to be christians can look at Trump and see someone exemplifying christian values. Even something as simple as the thing he does with maknig up mocking nicknames of opponents. Right there. How do you look at that and think that’s what Jesus would do. How do you teach your kids not to bully when the leader of your world does it. And that’s without getting into all the much much worse stuff. Something as simple as that.
But as the bible says, feel free to disregard my teachings if you have something to gain by it, probably. The same way people can be pro-life but for the death penality. The way you can preach “love thy neighbour” and also go “America first!”. You think there’s a geographical limit? Love thy neighbour, unless his house is so far away you can’t see it then screw that guy. Do unto others, unless you don’t like them then fuck ’em.
I completely understand why you’d for example want to help America before Ukraine. You just have to be honest about it. You just have to admit “we’re going to disregard the teaching of the bible and the word of god because we feel it is no longer applicable and relevant and up to date for the world as it is now and the current global situation”. You can’t demand to govern your country by the law of the bible and impose its values on everyone else, and then at the same time ignore those values when they’re inconvenient to you or your own situation and experience. You don’t get to demand people are sworn in on the bible if you’re going to ignore its lessons. Fkn smaritans. You know if you close your border you’re keeping out Jesus, right? He wasn’t born in America. And remember to tell your kids that santa isn’t coming, he hasn’t renewed his immigration papers in absolute ages.
Grr grumbleth, I need to shut up.
The mental leaps people are able to make are impressive. Don’t worry, I am sure I am a hypocrite in some ways too, I am after all only human. The onle species, and this is a fact, actively working to destroy the planet they’re living on.
One way I’m a hypocrite: I proclaim to not want to hear anymore about politics, yet I can’t stop yapping on about it. For shame.
Sorry if I alienate anyone with this stuff, I don’t mind being friends with people with differing opinions. As long as it’s understood that I’m right and everyone else is wrong, thanks. Raise your hand if you wish I’d go back to talking about my bowel movements.

Better get some more goat content back on top. For the premium subscribers, an early look at an upcoming video. Highlights from some goat time on the bench, and Bella’s desire to mess with the camera. Series of clips where she tries to go after it, and I have to call her back. Especially the second clip you can see her look over at the camera and the gears turning in her head and then she starts going for it. It’s funny, if there’s no camera on the tripod then it’s a lot less interesting to her. She’ll still mess with it if she gets near it. But it seems like if she sees the camera on the tripod then she just has to go mess with it. It’s partly hilarious and partly annoying because she messes up some nice shoots. Oh well, telling a goat what to do is like telling me to shut up, you might as well play the lottery.

Good goat times today. Not the standard routine today, though. I was getting ready to leave the house when my phone rang. It was Jeanette. My mind immediately went “no no no what happened who died”. But it was nothing like that, thankfully. She just wanted to give me a heads up that there was construction going on at the playground, they were putting in electric cables to the goat house. So I would not be able to take the goats out today.
But I went anyway. Spent the day inside with them, with the door mostly closed. Outside the sound of digging machines and people working. Sometimes one of them would come in and go into the storage room and do some drilling. Jeanette met me when I got there and helped me get safely to the goat house, avoiding the big ditch dug along the path. Hopefully the work won’t take too long. I hope it means we’ll get a light inside, that would be nice! Could have used that today haha. But it wasn’t too bad, I sat in the goats’ bedroom where there was a fair bit of light coming in through the two windows. The goats munching on breakfast, hay and the christmas tree. And the kids constantly begging for treats. They’ll both paw at me relentlessly. And sitting on the chair they got up on the tub that was next to me and then either Luna would jump up and stand on my legs completely or Bella would get up with her front paws on my legs. I’m gonna be sore tomorrow!
It’s nicer when you can actually go out and do stuff different places, but it’s always good to hang out with the goats.

Finished reading Patrick Stewart’s autobiography today. One of the instances wheing being forced to do audiobooks has an upside. Listening to Sir Patstew talk is a delight, even if his voice has gotten quite gruff with old age. But with autobiographies having the author narrate it really adds something extra. And he sings a little and reads Shakespeare!
I enjoyed very much hearing about his childhood, and his early ‘serious’ acting in the theater and Shakespeare and all that. And of course. Star Trek. The Next Generation was my first trek and a big part of my early life. Premiering on the fancy SECOND national tv channel. The music, the font. Hits right in the memberberries. So hearing about all that was great. But my favourite part of the book was the story of how he and his wife befriended a squirrel. I loved that so much. You ciould hear how excited and happy he is about that squirrel. And how with treats they managed to become close with this wild squirrel. When he said that they gave roasted peanuts in the shell to it. Well, that’s what I give the goats for treats! Naturally that touched my heart. It reminded me of one of my first goat friends, Mathilde. I have told the story several times about how she was scared of humans. And how with patience, and food, I managed to gain her trust and become close with her. And that one day when one of the workers told me ‘she doesn’t trust anyone like she trusts you’ and how it made me feel like that goat thing was a thing that maybe I was good at. I can just imagine fancy Sir Patrick, knight of the realm, and the wild squirrel coming in to get her treats from him.
We’re all just squirrels looking for a knight in shining spandex uniform.

I feel into a depressed nap and ended up sleeping most of the day. So that’s not great.
But what IS great is that now I’m up and ready to give the long awaited answers to yesterday’s big game show.
I feel like there may have been a bit of confusion, as smoe people seemed to pick statements from the list that they thought were true, but you were supposed to guess which one WASN’T true. Ten of them were true, one of them were not. I’m not sure if I didn’t make that clear enough. But it’s all fun and games. Thank you for participating to the ones that did.
And the first person to correctly guess the false item on the list was… drum roll… Jasper Zanzibar ! Congratulations, report to the principal’s office to collect your prize of a pack of dried fignewts!
The correct false answer was number 6, that I hadn’t watched all those movie franchises. Now even number 6 was partially true, since I haven’t watched any of the Harry Potter, Twilight, Hunger Games, Toy Story, Mission Impossible or Marvel movies. But I HAVE watched some DC superhero movies (before they became a cinematic universe franchise though) and all of the Lord Of The Rings movies. So therefore that item was false. All the other items on the list were true. Including Number 2, which was the most popular guess. But, I am afraid I do like Chelsea Handler. Sorry! I put that on the list because I figured that could trick a lot of people, since I know many people hate Chelsea haha. And okay to be fair, maybe it would be more accurate to say that I USED to like Chelsea Handler. I watched her show Chelsea Lately back 10 years ago and… I liked it. I haven’t really kept up with her since then, other than when she went viral for stupid shirt. She can be pretty annoying and abrasive, so maybe it’s a stretch saying I like her. But if you weigh up the pros and cons I come out more pro Chelsea. Don’t hold it against me!
And I do eat soup at least 3 times a week. The key word being at least, so it can be more in some weeks! And I’m not realted to Lance Henriksen, but I wish I was. I don’t drink, smoke or do drugs. And I never have, apart from a little gbit of ‘fun’ alkyholic drinks, and two sips of beer on school graduation day.
But yes, the whole list was true other than the bit about not having watched The Lord Of The Rings, in fact I have all three of the special edition DVD boxes on my shelf here.
Congratulations to Jasper. And honorary mentions to Cyd and Trish who also picked the correct number 6.
Thanks for playing!

For those interested in item number 5 on the list, I’m afraid the article is no longer available online as the website changed ownerships over the years and went down long ago.
It was a long time ago, and I never posted or tol anyone about it. I don’t know if any of my friends ever saw it.
I do have a screenshot of the article on my hard drive. Maybe some day I’ll post it as a special treat for everyone. Haha. It’s just A) not very interesting and 2) kind of embarrassing. On the other hand it’s kind of funny. If you manage to get me drunk maybe I’ll post it!

Good goat times today. A rainy day. So we stayed mostly inside. But at least we had the doors open today. The digging and cable laying all done. They’d cleaned fairly well after their work. Nice to have that behind us. We had the feathers out with us again today, which is always a treat. Even if they have to run for their lives now and then when Bella or Luna butt them away. Sky doesn’t mind them at all, but the kids will sometimes give them a shove. We had human visitors too, and thankfully none of those got shoved.
My stomach started feeling a bit poorly so I went home a little earlier than usual. By the time I got home it seemed to have settled. Oh well. I decided use the spare time to get on the exercise bike. Got a good hour in. Phew it’s tiring to exercise when you’ve already been out for hours. But it felt good. Afterwards got my best weight checkin since last April, so hopefully that’s going in the right direction. Hooves crossed. I’ve earned my soup now though.

Aw, Richard Lewis died? How sad. Rest in peace. He was great. Loved him so much on Curb Your Enthusiasm, him and Larry were wonderful together. And he was great back in the day on Craig Ferguson’s talkie show. That’s where I first got to know him really. He was one of those guests who had great chemistry with Craigh and you could just watch them banter about nothing and it was a delight. Always a highlight when eh was on.
And I just watched him on Curb like a week ago feuding with Larry over their wills.
Brilliantly funny chap.

I challenge you to find anyone else in the world who has Cripple And The Starfish by Antony And The Johnsons on their exercise playlist. Who needs a thumping beat when you have violins?!
Got on the bike and did an hour. I would have gone longer, but my MP3 player ran out of battery after 50 minutes and it kinda killed my mojo. But still good to get on it and get going and keeping it going.
Last night I dreamt I was in some public place, I forget which, with lots of people. And suddenly sirens and explosions went off and I was in the middle of a huge terrorist attack, or maybe it was a Russian invasion, who knows. I woke up with a loud ringing in my ear. The wrost tinnitus I can remember ever having. Usually when I get that tone loudly it dies down very quickly to a level I barely register, but last night it seemd to just keep going. I did fall back asleep and it seems to have disappeared again. Or at least died down to the baseline that I don’t notice. I usually have my space heater going (on cold) to drown out all the noise from the building and then I usually have music or podcasts or youtube videos going on top of that. When I go to sleep I put on a 10 hour rain video on youtube. So I rarely have complete silence.
Anyway, happy weekend you all peoplebuddies.
