Good goat times today.
\nI needed that. Didn’t have the bet of nights last night. I was in a lot of pain. About a month ago or so, I was having big back pains even when I wasn’t doing anything. They went away, I’m not sure if the stretches and exercises I started doing that fixed them. But I stopped doing those. I don’t know if that’s why the pain came back. But it was pretty bad last night. Just lying in bed, it was back pain but it felt like my whole body. Made it hard to sleep.
\nI did some stretches in bed, and I think I took some painkillers. I am not even sure now. Eventually I did get some sleep. But it was not the nice decaffed night’s sleep I had hoped for, not the start of the week I had wanted.
\nBut thankfully the goating was as good as ever. A bit chilly, I probably should have worn a jacket. But there was a lot of sunshine and it felt very good.
\nSky was very bleaty today. She can be very chatty, but usually in bursts. Today it seemed like she was constantly roaring. She’s my sweet girl, and loud girl.
\nJeanette dumped off a few new pine trees, so the goats got munching on those. And we had sweet visitors, kids running around in the pen.
\nIt’s funny how kids will sometimes just make up their own stories about the goats. One of the goats, it was probably Luna, must have been headbutting the kids because suddenly they were all going around saying “the other one is pregnant and this one is the father and he got mad because you were touching his wife and he’s protecting his wife and the baby because his wife is pregnant”. Oohkay. Haha. The goats have actual lost some weight I think, but I guess some of them can still pass for preggers…
\nAnother common thing is calling the goats Messi and Ronaldo. Those are soccerball players in case you didn’t know. And they are often referred to as G.O.A.T. Greatest of all time. I am not fond of that abbreviation. I don’t care how good any human is at any thing, they do not qualify for goat status and that’s a hill I’ll berry on. Anyway, if it was up to local kids, most of our goats in the past decade would be called Messi or Ronaldo.
\nBut it’s fun to hear them spin their tales. And the goats are just like, whatever just feed us.
\nSpeaking of, I’m going to feed myself some soup. My pain right now is more normal level. Not the complete crippling body pain. So that’s something.
\nSoup’s on.<\/p>\n

\nGot an hour fifty on the bike today. So I got that going for me.
\nFelt strong on the bike, that was nice. I did not feel good last night. The pains got really bad. Sort of starting in the lower back, but then reaching all the way up to my upper back, shoulders, down to my legs. Just felt like my whole body was being pulled apart by horses. I feel really bad for people who have that level of pain on a regular basis and OTC painkillers aren’t enough. I can understand how you’d get addicted to stronger painkillers. Thankfully I was able to take some basic painkillers, once I couldn’t stand the pain anymore. And they helped. It’s really hard when you feel you can’t be in your own body. My normal back pain usually comes after activity, and I can lessen it by going into certain positions or just sitting down and relaxing. But this pain is just tearing me apart when I’m just sitting still and no positions seem to really help. How do you deal with that…
\nIt must be nice to have a good body. I don’t mean a strong athletic one, I don’t mean a hot one that makes people go hubba hubba. Just a body you don’t notice. A body that doesn’t make itself heard, that doesn’t hurt, that doesn’t make you ashamed to go out. Just a body that’s there and does its job and goes unnoticed. But I don’t know, maybe no people have that. I’m sure most people have something that bothers them.
\nAnyway, that was a tangent. Once I couldn’t take it anymore last night I took the painkillers, and they helped me through the night. I felt strong on the bike today, but I felt the pain starting to come into my body towards the end. Did a lot of stretches and exercises on the floor after biking. The last time I had these bad pains they went away after a while, I hope it was the stretchercising and I hpoe it will help again now that I’m starting up with them.
\nMaybe it will help to drop some weight again. It’s been a crazy rollercoaster ride since my birthday. Pretty much puting on 10 pounds then losing 10 pounds then putting on 10 pounds. Now I’m about halfway through losing 10 pounds again. Hopefully I can keep at it. Lose more and then get stable. That’s the goal.
\nOh and I’m halway through day 5 without caffeine. Missing m dark mistress Pepsi. I am not sure if I feel a benefit. I’ll try to keep it going for a few more days. I feel like I’ll probably go back to the Pepsis though, even though it’s dumb. Maybe I’ll just have Pepsi on soup days? I know I talk about soup a lot, but I only actually eat it twice a week, sometimes 3 times. So, maybe I’ll have Pepsi on those days. At least that would limit the caffeine intake a little. I tell you what, there’s nothing as good as taking in some boiling hot soup (I usually start eating it while it’s so hot that it literally burns my mouth) and then following it with iced Pepsi Max. It’s exquisite.
\nAnyhoo, we’ll see.
\nSorry about all the complaints. I’m sure nobody reads through all this, I don’t know why you would! I know I complain a lot. But it helps me to get it all off my chest. I appreciate there are people who are about me. Love uou loves!
