Scatter Brain
Sitting in the shower. Hunched over. Head against the wall. Water falling.
Feeling sort of depressed. Not sure why. Nothing bad has happened. But still bad thoughts, sad mood. All I want is to sleep. Retreat into dreams.
I’ll try to think some good thoughts instead. Like feeding the animals yesterday.
Olsen.
Miss piggy, Yvonne.
The bunnies and chickens.
And Nina. I love Nina. I love picking her up and holding her.
Rubbing her tummy.
And scratching her behind the ears. While she kneads her paws and pushes her face against me to mark her territory.
It was raining yesterday. Normally I let her out once she’s had her food. But she didn’t seem to want to go out in the rain, so I let her stay inside while I did all the chores. And then I came back and cuddled her some more.
And some pictures from Friday, before the rain.
Kridte. They are growing ginormeously.
Kulle.
When I pick him up he always licks at my face or chews on my glasses or nibbles at my nose.
And Mads on a bench. Sometimes I forget that I am bigger than him. Because I am usually sitting down. And if I’m sitting on the bench then he always jumps up and stands next to me. So I spend most of my time at eye-level with him. And when you’re at eye-level with him then he seems huge. But then I stand up and suddenly I’m much taller and he seems much smaller. Maybe that is why goats are always jumping up on things, they want to see eye to eye with us.
My happypills.
Also I must thank Debbie. She sent me a couple of great postcards. Thank you! Those are some amazing balloons. Some day maybe I can travel around the world and visit people, that would be sweet. Take Mads and the rest on a roadshow. Maybe some day.
That’s all for now.

that pig is the ugliest most awesome thing ever. i think i might love it. it look so dirty and hopelessly depressed. looks a little too clean for my taste though. i want to roll around in filth with it and be smelly and repulse humans together. it’d understand me.

Animals are good therapy even Miss Piggy! At least with animals they give unconditionally. Yes a traveling animal show! Starting with the great Mads on a bucket! Heh heh! Feel better ok? Debbie

I think that would be very nice indeed. Travel the world with the animals and visit all of us.

Okay, you’ve got to travel to see me first! The lambs look like the Incredible Hulk – only not green.
How did you get the bunnies and chickens to line up? Looks like they’re waiting for something or someone, food & Plume=happy animals!
Yes, I always thought of Mads as being a super big mutant pygmy goat from your photos. But then I see he is about the same size as our two pygmy goats. How old is Mads anyway? His horns are somewhat larger than our goats & his beard is longer. Ours will be 2 years old in February.

boooooohooooooo – Of course she’d understand you. That’s what animals do. She’s a gigantic pig, I love her awesomeness.
Debbie – Animals are the best therapy there is. I wish I could bring them around with me all the time, I’d never be unhappy.
Luis – Some day. Some day.
Deb – You’ll be on the top of my list! I guess I should get going soon, before the lambs are all grown up hehe.
The bunnies and chickens lined up because.. it was feeding time! That always gets their attention!
You know, I don’t even know what Mads’ birthday is. Shame on me, I must find out. But when I first started talking to the people at the playground he was 2 years old. So by now he must be 3. 3½ maybe. Boy, I owe him presents and parties.
