Guess what I got??!!

Yes!!

A goat!!

However…

I’m actually just sponsoring him. He won’t be living here.

I’m sponsoring the black goat, named Maverick, on the left:

Remember a couple months ago, I posted here that Goats of Anarchy, the animal rescue farm in New Jersey, needed additional donations?

Yesterday, I changed my monthly “use as needed” donation, to one that sponsors a specific animal. The 2 goats above were just recently rescued and needed sponsors. They are both over 10 years old, and Maverick, specifically, has ongoing medical conditions.

So he’s my goat now!! Yay!!

GOA’s mission: “Goats of Anarchy is a sanctuary for farmed animals with disabilities. Animals come to us broken, battered, and abused, but they never stop fighting—so neither do we. Miracles happen here!”

Before I forget, I listened to this video while making my dinner yesterday, and it was really great, so I’m posting it here, in the event you are interested!

And THIS GUY wants to tell you about a girl….

And here’s this — part of the soundtrack from my not-so-wee bonny but often crazy bedroom in that Paradise Apartment on E.12th Street, in the East Village in NYC, 1984:

And in TWO MORE DAYS!! Buy tickets here! (Unless you are Paul from New Zealand):

And here’s this!

Well!

Wow, was it cold again last night. Down to about 5 degrees Fahrenheit, with super high winds and snow, so I actually made Kon Tiki stay indoors all night.

She was not happy about that, but at least I knew she was safe and warm.

When I went down at 4:15AM to let her back out this morning, she took off like a big furry rocket into the dark, freezing snow and didn’t even stick around for her breakfast!!

It is still very cold today, and sort of lightly snowing, off and on. I’m not planning on going anywhere, though, so I don’t really mind. I’m going to be working at my desk today, and hopefully just relax a little, too, and even do some reading!

So I am expecting an easy day today. We shall see!

However, I have the milkhouse heater on up here today, to keep the bathroom pipes from freezing, and the entire upstairs is like a fucking sauna!!
