Hey, let’s start with some boring stuff. Pictures from TMU.

Not very interesting, but now you know what the scenery looks like. Things are still going well. Had a talk with Peter today. He asked how I was doing. Said he was glad that I was still coming. He also said that he was pretty sure that my case could be closed in the first “semester”. There’s summer holiday June 20th. If you aren’t done by then, then you come back for another period after the holiday. But he said I would probably be done. Meaning that I’d be set for a flex job or retirement. Then there will a waiting period while your case gets processed by the system. But yes, there is and end in sight now.

Then I had a meeting with their social worker. Where we talked a bit about my problems and needs and wishes and desires. And all those little things in between. Looks like I might get Wednesday off. Permanently. We are aiming for a flex job, which is 20 hours per week. So four days of 9-14. And Wednesday off. So hopefully I can manage that ok. You might look at it and say it’s not much and you might say that a schedule of painting, reading and playing computers should be easy. But again, it’s really not about that. It’s about being able to get out and be among other people without getting completely bombed. Diggity.

There was much fun at the playground. The lambs were outside for the first time. There’s still all that construction going on, so there isn’t a lot of space at the moment. But it was nice to see them outside.

Even though it was very cold.

They are still tiny and adorable.

But then the funniest thing happened. I was standing at the fence and rubbing Magnethe a little. And Sille, the horse, came over. And for a moment I thought she was going to take a bite out of Magnethe. That she was going to bite her on the back. But she wasn’t biting. She was licking. She was licking Magnethe’s back. And Magnethe didn’t even react to it, she just stood there like it was the most natural thing in the world.

How very peculiar. I made a video of it too. Assuming it turned out okay I shall post it tomorrow probably. I don’t know. I guess Magnethe is very tasty. Haha. I don’t think Mads would have stood for that kind of thing. He would have banged his horns against the fence in protest.

Finally, Master chocolatier square pants: I don’t have AIM installed on this computer. Do you have Yahoo IM or MSN? Or maybe email me. “djaliplume” at yahoo com.

Das is alles.

PS. Oh yes. I did a closer study of the lambs. And would like to report that Mini and Spotty (as they are not officially called) are the two girl lambies. And then Fregne Jr and the other one are the boy lambies. So now you know.

Also, I want Zeitgeist.

Phew. I am tired. Quite, very tired.

I came home from TMU today and virtually passed out on my bed. After dinner and Family Guy DVD at least.

Right now it is snowing. Not a lot. But snow is snow and it makes Plume a happy camper.

But tired, I am, yes. From TMU. It’s going well though. I managed to introduce myself without panicking. And we have started to put our schedules together. We get to decide our own schedule. Currently my schedule consists mostly of reading and computer fun. With a dabble of painting and jiggsaw puzzling. Yup. Haha. It hasn’t been approved yet, maybe they’ll try to force some heavy labour into it somewhere. But it’s really not about working hard, it’s about being there so they can get to know you and determine what your needs and capabilities are etc and so forth.

So far so good. When I left today one of the other “students” (as we are called) came and asked for help with the bus. A foreign lady. The bus situation is a little bit complicated. But I helped her out. And she said I was a very nice person. Hehe. We talked for a bit. About TMU. And our situations. She said that she couldn’t understand why I was there because I was so young. So I told her it was because of phobia and anxiety and such. It was nice to talk a little.

That is TMU. Well, it’s the main building. It’s quite a big place really. Opposite that building there’s another building. There’s the plant school. With green houses and fields. And there’s a shed or two. And a pavilion. Fancy.

But you know, let’s not forget the lambs.

That is Mini. She was fun today.

Yes she was. A couple of them have started taking raisins from my hand. It’s always funny the first time they get a taste of raisins. They get really eager and start nibbling at everything. If you were to pick them up for example they would start nibbling at your glasses and your nose and everything. Fun fun.

The new mama sheep, the one who hasn’t been at the playground before, is starting to feel comfortable too. The first days she’d back off if you came close. Now she recognises me and she knows there’s a chance for treats and she comes right up. It is always sweet to see the animals that start off nervous and scared and see how they get used to the place and start to feel comfortable with people.

Four in a row. Ain’t they sweethearts?

Okay. Back to the soccer. It’s half time. Denmark – Australia 3-0. I know some really nice people in Australia so I’ll try not to gloat. Instead I will goat. Goat, get it? Haha.

King of Comedy, baby.
