It&#8217;s not much but it&#8217;s something.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a year. It certainly has. It&#8217;s been a fairly quiet year. I am thankful for that. There have been ups and downs. Mostly mentally. But no disasters, I think. I am very thankful that we avoided goat tragedy this year. When Kamel got sick there was a part of me that was convinced it was going to be another summer goat catastrophe to haunt me. I am so relieved that we got her better, and I have been feeling closer than ever with her since then. Seeing Herman go was very sad, of course. But it&#8217;s easier when you know they go to a good home and get to live on. I had a wonderful time with him. And his kids. Oh my. You tell yourself &#8220;oh we&#8217;ve had goat kids before, it won&#8217;t be _that_ special&#8221;. But you&#8217;re wrong. It is that special. And Bruce and Clark have been amazing. It&#8217;s usually better if we get girls, but oh I love seing those little brothers run around. And the way they turned out. Truly a miniMio and a miniHerman. It&#8217;s so wonderful. And of course Mia, my darling. And Palle the silly, curious yelper. Mama Mio who for once was the one not in charge. Being chased away. She&#8217;s made up for it since Herman left. Back in growl.<br \/>\nI love those goats. Without them I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;d do.<br \/>\nThere are still lots of things to work on for 2015. I will make it the best year ever, I will. You can&#8217;t stop me from trying. I&#8217;m so looking forward to spring and summer. I&#8217;ll exercise the heck out of the heat and sit in the sun with the goats. And that&#8217;s all I want. I&#8217;m going to be skinny, healthy, happy and less than competely deathly pale.<br \/>\nThanks to everyone who has stuck with me. And sorry to those who haven&#8217;t, I know I&#8217;m not easy to deal with always. I am broken in places and find it hard to relate to you humans. I hope The Big Giant Head will help me in my quest to discover what makes human ticks. Sorry, what makes humans tick.<br \/>\nAnd so and so forth. 3ish ours left. Less than 3.<br \/>\nBe safe and merry. I&#8217;m not gone yet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>There you go!<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-7800\"><img WIDTH=450  SRC=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/albums\/uploads\/2014\/thumb_141226_brucemio_meme_braceyourselves.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>See you next year for more goats!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s Eve!
