Suddenly Snowsan

December 3rd, 2023

Good goat times today. But bonechilling cold. Well, freezing at least. Not a fun morning walk. Slipping and sliding around on icy pavement. Stacked in two blouses and a sweater, gloves and skullcap and scarf. Sigh. It is difficult for me. I cannot cope with the cold. Just gotta power through the next 3 months…
At least we got some sunshine today, that was nice. And being with the goats is always good of course. They did some running and headbutting, maybe to stay warm. Luna did a funny spontaneous jumping pirouette and ran down the hill, made me laugh. The feathers were out too, and for the first time I saw them walking around all together like one big flock. All six of them. Usually Red Sonja and Henrietta Solo would be off on their own. I don’t know if the cold had something to do with them all sticking closer together. Maybe they are just getting used to eachother now.
Jeanette was unfortunately out sick today. So we missed her. Andrea, the new leader, came out at some point to check on the animals. I’m glad she does that. She asked me if I drank coffee. Unfortunately not. Hot coffee would probably be helpful on a day like this. I gotta dig out my chemical handwarmers from seasons past and see if there’s any juice left in the ones I have left. But it doesn’t matter how much I bundle up and accessorize, it’s just tough for me to be out in freezing weather. And then I come home compltely wrecked, my back in so much pain. Ugh. There’s a part of me that wants to stay home until spring. But I need my goat therapy of course. And it wouldn’t be fair to the goats to stay away. I’m missing more days than I’d like, I wish I could be there every day. One day a day. And one pot of soup at a time.

“I’m not going down in that cold icky stuff!”
Haha. Nah, Bella just got up on the chair because I happened to place it next to a tree and she was using it to reach high bark. I guess this must have been Bella and Luna’s first snow ever. Although there’s not really enough of it to really be that much of an experience. Hopefully it’ll still be a while before they experience full snow cover and heave snowfall.

Good goat times today. Managed to drag myself out. I wasn’t sure I would. I felt pretty broked after Monday, in pain and not dealing so well with the cold. I kinda told myself that I might have to take the rest of the week off. But some back exercises the last couple of days helped a bit. And of course the thought of staying away from the goats is never good. I also got some motivation from teh weather forecast which promised that today would be a real snow day. I cannot stand the cold, but I still love snow, specifically being with goats in teh snow. So I kicked myself out the door. Almost regretted it. Yeah it was a snow day alright. Everything covered and still coming down pretty hard. Lots of traffic problems in the region. The snow is less slippery than the icy pavement. But it makes it very hard for me to judge if the ground is even, where the curb is etc. I have to walk carefully. Dark, cold and snowing. Wasn’t a fun walk. But I got to the goats, and that’s what matters. And we had a nice snow day together. Of course the goats weren’t too thrilled with the snow. They refused to come out for a long time. I can’t blame them. So we stayed in. Luna had several turns where she was standing in the doorway, looking out at the snow. Occasionally letting out loud disgruntled bleats like she was cursing the snow. Her voice is so fun, still got a bit of a bratty baby quality. She can sound quite manic.
Later on the snowfall quieted down somewhat. And we did actually go out in the snow. It started when Jeanette cam with a bucket of fresh water to replace the bucket of frozen water outside the goat house. Yes, Jeanette was back after being sick. Actually she was still sick, I could tell. But I was happy she was there, I know the goats get the proper care when she’s there even in this kind of weather. Anyway, she dropped off the bucket. And after some careful consideration, Bella took a few steps outside to drink from it. And then it was like she realised the snow wasn’t THAT bad. Of course it helped that it wasn’t coming down as much at that pount. But she was the one happiest to go out in the snow. Luna followed a bit afterwards. Sky did not come out until I went out and was giving the kids treats outside. Then she begrudgingly came out to get treats too. She was the first one to go in as well, of course. Haha. But we had several trips out in the snow. Always Bella first, Sky last. Had a bit of a snowrun with the kids too. It was quite lovely. It was nice to be there for Bella and Luna’s first real full snow day. Nice to be there with them. Now I just have to find a way to defrost. Fifteen minutes in a hot shower followed by soup. I hope that will do it.

Look at this! I got a Mia plushie! Thank you so much Gabi Wolff for sending it and Anna-Lena Wolff for making it! And to your whole family. It is so beautiful, the photo doesn’t half do it justice. I am happy to have my own little mini Mia with me now. I am glad you got to meet her, and that we got to meet. Thank you also for the card and the chocolate! You are very kind. I can’t thank you enough.

So I watched the trailer for the new Fallout show. And I heard a familiar voice. Michael Emerson is in it? Sold! I hope he’s the good guys. Kyle MacLachlan too. So we got Lost and Twin Peaks DNA. The trailer looks good to me. I never got to play the Fallout games. I had the original two ready and was planning to play them when.. things got in the way. And when the modern ones started coming out my eyesight was stopping me from playing. But I’ve watched youtubes and read stuff and I feel like Fallout is part of my interests. I hope the show will be good.
Sorry if I’m a bit abbsentee right now. Mental and physical health has been better, editing lots of snow footage, found old cicles on discord. Distractions. Watching CoffeeZilla on youtube. I love seeing cryptobros and scammers and NFTs being ridiculed and revealed.
Anyway. I hope this facebook status finds you well.

Good goat times today. Not the weather, though. Cold, dark rainy. Boo urns. Jeanette asked me if I couldn’t do a sun dance to bring the sun out. If only. My magic mojo doesn’t seem to be working.
But it was good to be back with the goats. Got some lapgoat time with Luna. She’s getting to be too big for it soon I think. Sigh . But she’s still my lil girl. And Bella is my medium girl. And Sky is my big girl. They are a sweet little goat troop and even on gloomy days they make me happy.
Now I’m tired and cold, but I got soup cooking so that’s something.

Hello, good day, hi. Checking in. I had plans for the day, but a combination of ugly depression and beautiful dreams kept me anchored in bed far longer than I should have. But oh well here we are now. The space heater is trying to revive my bones. I really wish I could just sleep until May.

Think goat thoughts. Sorry bout the bad quality, but it’s nice when you can get them all 3 in the frame. Even if there are more butts than head.

Good goat times today. Got out and goated again, goodly. It was a tiny bit warmer today, which was nice. Less nice was the harsh storm. It was one of those hold-on-to-your-hat days. With rain too. A little sun too though. Next week… it looks like freezing.
But it’s just good to sit with the goats. We mostly sit inside now. I miss being out in the pen and on the bench and all that. But we just gotta keep our noses pointed to the dawn. Only four months till spring.
Luna had a rough day. First I accidentally locked her in the storage room. Haha. When I go in to get the goat breakfast in the room, Bella and Luna usually follow me in there. And then folllow me out when I go out and distribute the feed in their bowls. So I was puzzled when I noticed one of the three bowls was unattended. I opened the door and in the storage room was Luna. I don’t understand why they don’t make a fuzz when they get locked in there by mistake on their own. You’d think they’d complain, but it’s happened a few times and they don’t make a fuzz. Maybe it’s because they are always trying to get in there and now’s their chance to explore on their own…
Later on she got scared by the newfeathers. Turnaround from how she usually chases chickens away. We were down by the fence, socializing with visitors. And I guess the newfeathers saw their chance to go in the goathouse and look around without interruption. So when me and the goats went back to the goat house suddenly a bunch of flappy feathers came running out and freaked out Luna who promptly ran back down the hill rowards the fence. I guess I’d be scared too if I came home and opened my door and someone unexpectedly came out towards.
That’s enough yapping for now, time for souping.

Happy Thanksgiving from me and the goat crew and the feather troop. I am thankful for all the good people on here. I appreciate you all, thank you for helping me with the struggles.

Something to be unthankful for happened yesterday. My camera broke. It’s getting the lens error that has happened to other cameras. But those were because the camera fell on the ground. This time it didn’t fall. It just won’t turn on now. I had it out on the tripod a little when it was raining a tiny bit. I wonder if that’s the cause. I have put it in a bag with those drying gel things. Don’t think it will help. I do have other cameras, but they have focussing issues. I think I will actually have to buy a new one. And it’s virtually impossible to get the model I use anymore. So that’s a bummer. I will have to get a newer model that’s more expensive and lacks some of the features I want. Boo urns. Well, I must remember I’m an over priviliged sob, still lots of things to be thankful for. This is fine.

Sweet Bella. She’s been getting a lot of belly rubs lately. Because I’m sitting inside on the yellow chair, she’ll get up on one of the tubs on the floor and then she gets up with her front legs on my legs, and I can’t resist giving her a good belly rub. She does it pretty much every day now, I’m not sure if it’s because she wants belly rubs or if it’s just because she wants to poke and prod the human pinata in the hopes of treats falling out. It’s very cute anyway. She has also a couple of times made a sneak attack all the way up and standing in my lap, something that Luna used to do a lot but hasn’t been doing mcuh lately. Sometimes habits and dynamics change a bit when we’re sitting indoors in a smaller space so much.

Do you ever think about how every website you visit starts with WWW which means World Wide Web, isn’t it kinda cute that every site you go to sounds like something from 1997’s idea of the internet? It’s like grandpa trying to use a cell phone as a rotary phone or something. Do people born in this milleniaum even know what aw ord wide web is, if you’re 20 do you even know what a www is? Do people even know that there was a time when everything was not online, what even is an online, how can you talk on the phone and be on the internet at the same time GEOCITIES am I right?!

Oh oh oh oh. I reminded Melanie that she had a diaryland which reminded me that I have a diaryland so I went to look at my diaryland but it was still just an error page but then I tried logging in and my password worked and I added an entry to my diaryland and adding a new entry seems to have brought the entire diary back online so the long of the short is, I am back on diaryland.
Some of my best friends are still people I met on diaryland like.. 20 years ago. On diaryland you are hidden behind a username and stuff, but I still feel like you got to know people in a much realer way than on Facebook these days. No offense, I love my Facebook friends. You mean a lot to me. But things are just different. Back then it was like really being able to read people’s diaries, follow their lives. Intimate and personal, if they let you. On Facebook it’s so many memes and photos and news and the world is a dystopian future and everyone is grownup and guarded and have families and friends-only and so on. Back then it was like were a bunch of kids and you were all in it together.
Or maybe that’s just the nostalgia talking. Everything was always better in the past, and you can’t disprove FACTS.
Anyway, I’ll stop rambling. I don’t know if I should be happy or scared that I brought my diaryland back to life. Some things should stay buried! Maybe there’s a reason everything is friends-only and guarded these days. Except my facebook is all public anyway, so..
PS I Slept too much today and I am still sad and tired, I remain ever a moody depressed layabout teenager hooray.
