After a couple of days with much thinking and speculating and exciting and nervousning, today I just switched my brain off. Spent a good deal of time with the goats. Nothing quite as soothing as that.

It rained. Soothing as well. Summer rain. I sat down and enjoyed it. The goats were less thrilled of course. As Kurt said the other day, “three drops and they’re whining”. Hehe. Yes. I sat down in the open and let it rain down on me. The hatch was closed so the goats couldn’t take shelter inside. Instead they stood under the trees. And then every once in a while they’d run out to me. Typically one of them would come to me first, Vanilje most of the time, and then the two others would see it and they’d come too. And then they’d stay until the rain got too much for them again.

They’re they are under cover of the trees, although you can’t really tell it’s raining. It is, though. I swear.

Some kids walked by the fence. They were bouncing a soccer ball on the ground. That got Mads to run out in the rain! He hates balls. I think he’s almost more afraid of a bouncing ball than he is of dogs.

Finally, a little video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=wkFsFEMPAWI. From today. First the goats under the trees. And then Mads baahing. I love that sound. It’s sweet music to my ears. Even if he is complaining about the rain. I should make a CD full of goat baahs. If they can sell CDs with rain forest sounds or ocean wave sounds then surely there must be a market for goat sounds?

I’ll have to edit out the gassy parts though.

Teehee.

Well. It done. I have submitted a “yes” to the appartment I looked at yesterday. So now there is but to wait and see. I am 6th on the list for it. So if the five people ahead of me turn it down or say yes to other appartments then I will get it. I wish I knew exactly how big my chances are. But they aren’t bad at least. Monday is the last day for replies, so presumably I should find out soon after. Tuesday maybe? Or is that too optimistic? I don’t know. I just want to know now!

Crawly critters in my tummy.

If I should happen to get it then I can move in August 1st. Today is July 1st. This could be my last month living at home.

But let’s not get too excited. I might not get it after all.

It’s is still a big step, though. I have actually said yes to an appartment, I have made my intentions clear. I am moving out, it is going to happen. Sooner or later. It feels more.. “solid”. Previously I was “theoretically” looking for a place. I could always turn them down. There was nothing definite. Now it is definite. Not definite that I’ll get it, but definite I want it.

Stop saying “definite”, Plume.

My mother wasn’t too happy about it really, she thinks I should definitely wait for something better to come along. But I just really, really feel like I need to get away from here now. Get out on my own. It is time. And I’d rather not wait 6 months to a year. I’ll stay on the waiting list for some of the better places even if I get this. No one says my first appartment has to be my last.

Thank you for the advices Luis Lemmings and Debster.

Y’all better start saving up for a trip to Denmark, I shall throw a house warming party and everyone is invited, with or without goats. Or in Mads, Magnethe and Vanilje’s case, with or without humans.

Cross your fingers (or hooves).
