The last few weeks have been busy, emotional, painful, uncertain...
I know I shared a lot on my Masto accounts and my blog. But I've been a tad clouded and I keep forgetting why I made this account and that I should use it accordingly.
Sorry for dropping off for longer times. My brain and body are just struggling! Unfortunately... 😔
I'll try to get back to boosting my toots and friends toots as well. I need to keep in touch better with the Friendica Friendos 💜.
Hopefully I'll get back to my normal activity and energy levels again soon. But surg Arwen's health struggling, with my finances being a bit wonky due to the extra costs for Arwen's meds, with my surgery date slowly coming closer...
It's just a bit too much at times... 😔
Have a good time folks! #TZAG :🌻

Fankoos... 😊 She is the cutest, but then I am biased... 😊 We try to take a selfie every night. Also because she's getting older and I don't know how much time we have left together... So making lasting memories with her... 🐾 💜

TL;DR: PlaystationPixy's terminally ill pet, Arwen, needs end-of-life care (cremation, urn, ash pendant). They've started a GoFundMe to cover the costs.
Ello sweet (and sporty) Friendos 
As some of you, who follow my journey account, may know... I am struggling...
Arwen is doing more poorly, and there's many tears and worries, and bad nights...
It's also affecting my eating. Sometimes I feel hungry but I'm not interested in food... Other times I don't feel hungry but I get the urge to eat something...
It's weird... I try to keep an eye out that I will eat properly. I rarely eat too little, so that's no real thing for me... But I have to be careful not to overdo it when I feel the need for comfort food.
I'm also upset that I've started a new GoFundMe, to help me with upcoming costs... It breaks me to ask for financial help again, so I guess that's also interfering with my hunger, emotions, sleep, and mood...
Thank you to all that support me! 💜 I greatly appreciate it

TL;DR: OP, a Dutch pixie, had a busy day involving the gym, setting up a GoFundMe for Arwen's future care, walks with her dog Arwen (whose health is declining), an Ikea trip with a friend, and dealing with a rude driver. Arwen needed extra attention and had a big wee.
A chocolate Labrador Retriever stands in shallow water, with its front legs submerged. The dog has a shiny, wet coat, and its fur appears slightly matted, likely from being in the water. It holds a bright yellow tennis ball in its mouth, with water droplets visible around its muzzle. The dog's ears are floppy, and its eyes are focused forward. The background shows a forested area with tall trees, and the water is calm with gentle ripples. The scene suggests a playful moment, possibly during a game of fetch.

Just written a review and thinking of Gary Oldman reminded me of this little gem.
A bit of background, back in 2001, BMW hired big name directors to make short films to advertise their cars.
The one common element throughout the series was Clive Owen as The Driver.
This film, Beat the Devil, is probably my favourite of the ad campaign.
James Brown renegotiates his fame and fortune contract with the devil, played by Gary Oldman. It was directed by the late Tony Scott.

Another night, another SniffiVerse™ walkies selfie with my gall.
I keep making these as long as I can, as I know the time I have with Arwen is slowly running out, and I want to cherish every bit of it...
I wrote a Toot today, asking for help for "when that time comes". It can be found here: beige.party/@PixysJourney/1143…
I don't like asking for help, especially when it comes to finances... But not being able to take her home with me, after that time has come, it scares me to death.... Thank you for your support 🐾 💜

TL;DR: OP, a Dutch pixie, had a rough day filled with physical pain, emotional distress (hormones and stress), and worry about their aging pet, Arwen, potentially passing away before a planned surgery. Despite exhaustion and several walks with Arwen, OP managed some chores and social interaction but ended the day emotionally drained and with poor sleep.

I've been trying to work ahead some... Like I usually try to do. But with the busy times ahead, surgeries for mum and me, health not being the best, Arwen not being the best... 😔 So it's good to have some posts scheduled, that when I don't feel like writing, I know something is still "ready to be shared". 😊
The only posts that I can't write in advance are the journal ones...
Some shameless promotion here: my blog "toots" when a post goes live, which is usually around 7am CET. The account is at @cynnisblog.wordpress.com
Let's keep writing...

TL;DR: OP emailed their GP about post-surgery home care, needs help moving furniture, walked their dog, exercised, and is now relaxing and watching TV. Feeling tired despite their efforts.
The image features a chocolate Labrador Retriever sitting on a large, cut tree log in an open field. The dog is facing to the right with its mouth open, tongue out, and appears to be panting, suggesting it might be warm or has been active. Its fur is a rich, dark brown color, and it has a sturdy build typical of the breed. The log is gray with visible bark and a cut end, indicating it has been recently cut. In the background, there is a grassy field with a few trees, some of which are bare, suggesting it might be early spring or late autumn. The sky is partly cloudy with patches of blue visible. A person can be seen in the distance, walking away from the camera, adding a sense of scale to the scene. The overall setting is a natural, outdoor environment, likely a park or rural area.

TL;DR: OP, a slightly anxious Dutch pixy, had a busy day involving pet care, exercise, medication, errands (pharmacy & Lidl), blog work, and a successful hospital call securing a surgery date (June 13th!). Despite some anxiety and a bad dream, OP ended the day feeling relieved and ready for the next day.

So much ugliness happening in this country that I can hardly stand it! Luckily, it snowed yesterday in South Central Alaska for the first time in a few months. Here is a darling photo of a moose getting splashed in the head with a snow dump from a tree. Lacee Johnson is the photographer.

I really wonder about how all these stupid folks that didn't like the inconvenience of covid will act with the next pandemic. The pandemic has a lot to do with what's happening. People lost money etc. But, we will have to learn to live with these things until humans stop spreading their germs all over the place.

TL;DR: OP is on a slow walk with their dog, Arwen, and is anxious about upcoming surgery in 65 days. They need to arrange for post-op care, help with daily tasks, and dog care, and are feeling overwhelmed by the logistics.

Ello sweet (and sporty) Friendos
Riding the hometrainer. Arwen wanted the "in-between" walkies, so we had less steps and we were home earlier. As I didn't get to the half hour on the seated bike (I was close but the leg didn't approve), I figured that I needed to get to my hometrainer.
I feel tired. I have a slight headache, as my brain is working overtime on figuring out all that I need to prepare for the upcoming surgery.
Having a date is good. But now I need to get things arranged. I need to be sure I've prepared all that I can, so it will be good when I get home from the hospital.
I hate asking help, and I'll need to do quite a bit of that... So yeah... It will be a hard wait and the insecurity of not being sure if all will go well... Ugh...
So! Riding the hometrainer. Just a low setting. But it is better than lying on the couch watching telly? 🤔
I don't know how long my leg will allow, but every minute is a small win, I guess.
Onward and upward? 💪🏼

Ello sweet gaming Friendos 
I went to the gym. Had a shorter walk with Arwen, as she was struggling to go further. Poor gall... I've been riding the hometrainer, while watching some Sons of Anarchy.
I started it ages ago, then got distracted, and as one of my friends really loves it, I'm trying to watch it again when I'm riding.
I changed the controller and headphones for the PS5. I hope that I can get a bit of gaming in today...
I do need to do some chores, even though my body won't appreciate me doing them. But, hopefully I can reward myself with some relaxing NMS after that... 😊
Hope you're all doing well and you've been enjoying some good games, tv shows, music... 
Catch you all later folks!

TL;DR: OP is updating their blog, using AI for alt text, and promoting their Mastodon account (@cynnisblog.wordpress.com) for blog post comments. They're working on several new posts (Spotify stats, fitness, journal entry, book quotes) and hope to get zoo photos tomorrow. They appreciate support and admit to repetitive writing.

A quick sorry that I've not been keeping up with you all! I've been Tooting myself. I've been trying to reply to everyone.
But...
I know I've been slacking on starring, sharing, and commenting on toots by you, my friends.
I'm sorry about that!
There are some reasons, valid ones, but the main one is that I've been struggling with socializing the last few days.
I've not been sleeping too well. Been busy with mum and dad, and mum needs surgery this Friday. I've been trying to get the house/garden sorted a bit better, and it's been wearing me out.
So I've just been sharing my things and paying less attention to yours.
And... I feel bad about that... 
and I'm sorry!
Please accept my apologies 
and when things calm down again, I'll definitely do all I can to get back to paying more attention to you, as you bloody well deserve that from me. I need to be a better friend...
Adding a snap of Arwen, just because I can and she's cute... 
Fankoos 
for your kindness, support, understanding and... Friendship!
