A Day In History
Damn. I had another sleep attack. And depression. It hasn’t been a good day. I didn’t even go to the playground. Which is silly of course because going to the playground is the best cure for these blues. But what can you do. If you know depression then you probably know how crippling it can be.
I got up earlier and thought it had passed. But then my head was hurting and my sight was so bad that I couldn’t stand being in front of the computer. And I ended up back in bed.
My sight is still bad and I just want the day to be over. Mine is a fragile mind.
But just because I have been deprived of goats today does not mean you should be too. I have uploaded a new video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GrDXe3zj5c. From yesterday. I told you how the boys have started bouncing around, and you can see that in the video. Running and jumping and playing. Saying hello to the big horsies on the other side of the fence. There’s also a fun bit with Magnethe in the middle. She started nibbling at my cap and then lifted it right off of my head! Unfortunately my camera was in zoom mode so it’s not the best of footage, but I still think it’s quite cute. And then at the end Magnethe is standing in front of the hatch while Vanilje is inside with one of the boys. That left the last boy sort of caught outside alone. The same boy who was sort of caught inside the hatch in the first video I uploaded of them. The darkest one. And he reacts in the same way. Lots and lots of baahing for mommy. He does that a lot. A loud little one who likes to make sure he has mommy’s undivided attention.
I feel better just talking about them. Must go see them tomorrow and the world will be right. It’s been nice to spend some time with Magnethe too. She’s been acting very politely. No aggression. It’s almost like having the goold old Magnethe back. I’m not sure why her behaviour has changed exactly. Maybe it was Tyr who put her back in her place? Or maybe it’s Vanilje’s kids? Or maybe she just realized she missed me because I was spending so much time with the lambs? Now I’m obviously back in the goat fold and she benifits from that too. In any case it’s nice. Lots of good goat fun and good interaction with the playground staff as well. It’s not all so bad.
Finally a happy birthday to my brother, Peter. He turned 29 today. My dad called me in the morning and invited me to dinner. But it wasn’t really planned and the dinner was not something I liked. So I turned it down. And instead spent the day being depressed and sleeping. Smart move, Plume! But I gather there will be some proper celebrating on Saturday. Maybe some cake. So that’ll be allright.
And of course congratulations to Mr Obama. As a fellow crazy socialist I am happy to see him in office. I hope he will manage to bring the change, becaus the world sorely needs it. And until we get that amendment allowing goats to take office, this will have to do.

Baby goatzies just can’t walk, they have to leap and prance and twist and shout baaaaa! Everything is an adventure and new to investigate.
Happy Birthday to brother Peter! Please consume a “small” bite of cake for me!
Are you doing any meds for depression now? I know you’ve had some problems with side effects in the past and just the general idea of having to take meds daily didn’t sit too well with you.
But then sleeping all the time and feeling depressed isn’t a very nice way to have to live your life either. You’ve got goatzies to see, playground people to visit with, managing your diabetes, visiting with your parents, and doing some of the others things you like to do.
Maybe it’s time to visit with your doctor again about your depression??

Debster – Thank god for gravity or they’d bounce right off of the planet!
I’m not doing meds for depression no. It’s worth thinking about, but I don’t think pursue it right now. We’ll see. I’ll think. I’ll put on my thinking cap. I’m alright most of the time anyway. No worries.
