I almost didn’t go to the playground today. I woke up with a hardy cramp in my left leg. The calf, I guess. It hurt plenty. I felt like staying in and resting today. But eventually I succumbed. I had to go see the babies. And they were lovely of course, as lovely as yesterday if not lovelier already.

Kurt asked me if I had come up with a name for them yet. Unfortunately I hadn’t. Thomas, my fellow diabetes sufferer, suggested Finn & Jacob. I think he was joking about that though. They are the first names of a Danish comedy duo, more or less. But that at least confirmed that they are two little boys. And we’ll have to think up some names now. Any suggestions?

The lambs have been named, by the way. Sussi & Leo. Those are also the names of an oddball husband/wife singer-songwriter/entertainment pair. So fun names for a couple of oddball lambs. They are doing fine too. Now they have real competition for the attention of course. They’re baahing more. And growing huger and huger. I tried lifting Sussi, who is the smaller one, but I could barely get her off the ground. Strange to think that the goat kids will be that big soon too. Do human babies grow as fast as animal babies? It’s crazy I tells ya.

But isn’t it about time you saw a video of the young ‘uns? I think it do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3G_sfX_igo. There you go. From yesterday. I told you how I had to help one of the babies outside. You’ll see that on the video. And some general goat hijinx. At one point one of the boys is turning his head back to groom himself and he loses balance and topples over. It’s the cutest thing. I liked it so much that I repeated it a couple of times at the end of the video. So watch out for that.

Wonderfullies.

Today I got the results of the blood tests that the doc took yesterday. Via email. And by that I mean that the results came through email not that the doc took bloodsamples via email. In case you were wondering. Anyway, the results were good. They measure the average blood glucose level over the last 3 months. And my results were: HbA1c = 0.063. Which puzzled me a little because I looked online and the results are supposed to be given in percentages. But I guess that translates to 6,3%. Which is good because the Danish sources I read said that it should be below 7,5%. And some American stuff I read said that the target level should either be 7 or around 6,5. So I’m a little low even. And as the email summed up, my diabetes is well controlled. So that ain’t not good.

And that’s what we learned on the show today, Craig.
