Good goat times today. Grey and cold, what else is new. But the company is good. Sweet goats running around. They had some willow branches. Might be stuff brought down by the big storm that passed through Denmark. Or maybe just stuff that people have picked for them. Visitors feeding and petting the goats. Jesper is working on putting a hatch in the goat house, something Jeanette had seen at another playground I think. We’ll see how that turns out.
\nGot my sweet smooches from Luna. She jumped up in my lap a couple of times and surprised. She also managed to jump up and stand on my shoulder, like a parrot on a pirate. Given my shoulder is still kind of giving me trouble I probably shouldn’t allow her to do that, just like it’s a go-go on my back. But it’s hard to say no to her. I was impressed she could keep her balance standing on my shoulder. But then you’ve seen her perched on the steep ramp.

\nBreakfast time with Red Sonja and Sky. It still makes me laugh how Sonja will just peck grains right out of the bowl while Sky is eating.

\nSome people look at half a pot of soup and say it is half empty.
\nI look at half a pot of soup and think “oh the pot of soup is empty because I ate it all while finishing this thought”.

\nI took one of the willow branches, I think it’s willow?, and put it in the hay rack. People often just throw the branches on the ground, but when it’s wet and muddy they really prefer it to be off the ground. So I usually pick up branches and prop them up on stuff.

\nBack to the doctor today, for the results of last week’s blod tests. As expected, the results weren’t great. A year and a quarter of completely letting go and living unhealthily has taken its toll. So the readings weren’t great. They weren’t as catastrophically bad as I had feared. Part of me had worried that the nurse would go “I can’t sen you home, i’m sending you straight to hospital”. Kind of like it happened all those years ago when they diagnosed with diabetes. I don’t even remember why they were testing me back then, I just remember they measured my blood sugar and sent me to the hospital where I had to stay for… days? More than week? It’s all a distant blur now.
\nAnyway, not that bad. But bad enough that we have to do something obviously. I argued that in the past when things were slipping I managed to change my lifestyle and get back on the right track, and that I’d like to try that again. So I got 3ish months to change things around, before we start looking at other medications or whatever. So here’s to hoping I can do that. Gotta get back to exercising. Gotta get back to eating healthier. Really, I just need to stop eating candy. I know it makes me sound like such a child, but I have been eating lots of candy. To dull the pain. To fill the void. To take my mind away. Need more soup instead.
\nHooves crossed I can get it done.
\nIt was kind of funny, the nurse kept calling me Peter. She went right up to me in the waiting room. Peter? Peter?? Haha. That’s my brother’s name. I’m not even sure he is still seeing the docs in that place. I know my mother isn’t, but the nurse asked about her when I was there last week. She remember the family. She apologised for calling me Peter, then did it again a couple of times in her office. Haha. She made up for it by complimenting my cologne when she did an EKG on me. She said it was nice and asked what it was. I told her I didn’t even remember. It’s an old one I have had for a decade, only use it when I go out among people. Honestly I just don’t care about that stuff, usually I smell of goats and berries. Whattareyagonnado.
