I've shared some cover art before, that I made with AI and then edited with Pixlr and AddText.
That post can be found here:

I found the first image that I tried to make, for Aramanthe, and I recently made one for Eisbrecher, so in wanted to share those here too.

Morning folks, I am trying to do the "awake and raring to go" thing, but well, another horrendous sleep. Cat woke me at one point and I physically couldn't move, almost went into a panic, some serious deep breathing to calm myself and I dozed off again, into dreams of being trapped in a small dark space that I couldn't escape from. Not a fun night. But hey, at least I am awake to face another day.
Todays plans - fuck knows, one small chore (seems to be my limit) and some fresh air, that would be enough for today.
Whatever you do today, make it awesome, have a good one folks ๐

I'm debating myself.
I wanna walk the treadmill.
I know I could do a short walk.
I think it would help me feel better.
But...
It means changing some clothes and leaving the couch.
And my dark monster is making me lazy.
But...
If I'd walk a bit, I could hoover after that. And... I could mop the floors after that.
And then my chores would be done.
I'd be able to feel better due to the exercises and due to finishing the chores.
You see, there's so many positives!
And still...
I struggle to "just" do it...
Ugh.
Sorry, it seems my mood is not the best today...
let's just do it?

Trying to get some exercises in. It feels too hard these days. Where I used go be almost unstoppable, I now can hardly find any motivation.
My leg is annoying.
My hands have been had the last few days.
My brain feels like giving up.
The struggle is too hard, and I don't get any "quick" results, so it's just so hard to keep motivated.
I want my energy back. The motivation to really make a difference again. Not the bad hip with all it's restrictions. Not the bad thumb that keeps dislocating...
I know I never get better. This is my life. But some moments, I just don't feel like trying anymore... And that sucks...
Sorry for this... I will keep trying, just gotta figure out how...

The image shows a person and a dog in a nighttime setting. The person is wearing a black jacket with a reflective yellow-green stripe on the shoulder, a headlamp attached to a cap, and over-ear headphones. They are smiling and leaning towards the dog, with their hand gently resting on the dog's neck. The dog is a large, dark brown Labrador Retriever, looking up at the person with a calm expression. The dog is wearing a black collar with a small yellow tag. The background is dark, indicating it is nighttime, and there is a faint light source, possibly from a streetlamp or a nearby light.

whoops....
I woke up earlier last night and I was wide awake...
My neck was bothering me, as was my right thumb, as it felt like it kept coming from the socket. Even with the brace, it just was ouchy...
So after the ๐ eleven walkies, I was relaxing on the couch and then... I woke up a little past half two, with a message that B was ready for walkies! I quickly rushed to the loo and got Arwen ready...
I felt so woozy... I think I slept about 45 minutes, so I guess I needed it. Just hope that in about 50 minutes, I can get some more sleep. As I still feel rather tired.
Hope that you're all having a lovely Sunday! and I hope that the noise I hear now will sod off soon, as it's making my headache worse...
Catch you all when I'm back at the gym folks! have a good time! #TZAG

A chocolate brown dog is standing in shallow water, holding a bright yellow tennis ball in its mouth. The dog is facing the camera, with its tail slightly raised and its body partially submerged, creating ripples in the water. The water appears calm with gentle waves, reflecting the dog's image. The background is a uniform expanse of water with no visible land or other objects. The dog's fur is wet, and the scene suggests a playful moment, possibly after fetching the ball.

A chocolate brown Labrador Retriever is walking through shallow water, with its front legs partially submerged, creating small splashes. The dog is carrying a bright green tennis ball in its mouth, which is slightly wet. The dog's fur appears wet and shiny, indicating it has been in the water for some time. The background shows a calm body of water, with no other objects or people visible. The dog's ears are floppy, and its eyes are focused ahead, suggesting it is engaged in play. The overall scene conveys a sense of activity and enjoyment in a natural setting.

Can I get this surgery already? I'm so done with that leg not working properly... And the tingling just hurts and I hate it... It's so bad for my motivation as well. As the discomfort just sucks all energy out of me... ๐
Sorry, I hate moaning about it! But it just gets harder every day to deal with it...
Tuesday around 15 I should get the call. Fingers crossed ๐ค๐ป there won't be any infection and they can soon schedule the surgery. So I can make arrangements and be done with it ASAP...
But yeah, knowing my luck ๐, I'll probably have to start on antibiotics first... ๐
I try to keep going, but part of me just wants to give up. Throw in the towel and all that... But I know it will only worsen my situation, so I need to keep doing whatever I can...
Fankoos ๐ซถ๐ป for all your support through this wobbly journey. I really appreciate it .
Catch you later folks !

It's been a while, and I've been struggling... But I had some good moments with Arwen this last weekend, so let's focus on those!
1. Three walkies at the Herperduin with my gall. ๐ฆ
2. Got the new Hunger Games book from a very sweet friend!
3. Had some nice chats with some sweet Friendos.

Hmmm
I was wondering... I know there is an account that follows instances to check for Alt texts in the user's toots on them.
These days, I use altbot a lot, as my hands are sore, and my brain a bit fuzzy at times, so the bot helps me to add a good text.
But, I first share my Toot without Alt text, and then I edit the Toot to add alt texts.
Does that site that checks for Alt texts takes these edits in account? As the Toot eventually has the Alt texts, just not when whey are shared the first time... ๐ค
I don't know how that account works, so I was just wondering if it scans all the toots at a certain moment in time to see if they have Alt texts... Or of it checks the toots when they are shared, so when they don't have the text yet?
Anyone who knows this? Thanks in advance!

Are you talking about a personal account or an entire instance?
The one I have lets me know as soon as I post to remind me to add alt text. I don't expect it to keep track of if I listen to it. (It's been so long, I can't remember its name.)

Kenya 2002 - Some Elephants at Maasai Mara
In October 2002, my then partner and I took a wonderful trip to Kenya for a short safari. This is a small edit of some footage, taken at Maasai Mara National Reserve, on October 5th, during a morning drive.
Shot with a Sony DCR-PC110E, edited with Pinnacle 14.

Most alchemists were nervous, in any case; it came from not knowing what the crucible of bubbling stuff they were experimenting with was going to do next.

The image shows a large, chocolate brown dog standing in shallow water. The dog appears to be a Labrador Retriever, with a thick, wet coat that glistens in the light. Its ears are floppy, and it has a broad head with a short muzzle. The dog's eyes are focused on something to the side, and its mouth is slightly open, possibly panting. Water droplets are visible on its fur, indicating it has been in the water for some time. The water is rippling around the dog's legs, suggesting movement. The background is blurred, with no distinct features, emphasizing the dog as the main subject. The overall scene suggests a calm and natural setting, possibly a lake or riverbank.

Thanks to a very lovely sweet friend, who jokingly said "Good news, my Nan died" (this was based on a conversation that we had about an episode of Downton Abbey, just FYI ๐), I was able to get the new Suzanne Collins book on my eReader!
Unfortunately, the account that I used when I set up the reader, was not the email that I use for the Bol Kobo store... So I had to logout and log in with the proper account.
It lost all my progress........ ๐ Which is a bummer........
But...
It did add the book to the reader. ๐ It's charging now, and then, I can start it soon!

The image shows the cover of an e-reader displaying the book "Sunrise on the Reaping" by Suzanne Collins. The cover is predominantly black with white text and a central illustration. The title "Sunrise on the Reaping" is prominently displayed at the top in large, bold white letters. Below the title, the subtitle "A Hunger Games Novel by Suzanne Collins" is written in smaller white text. The central illustration features two birds facing each other, with their beaks open, forming a circular shape with a snake-like body. The snake's body is coiled around the birds, creating a sense of tension. The background is dark, with a subtle circular pattern behind the birds. The e-reader is held in a way that the cover is facing the viewer, and the screen is illuminated, making the text and illustration clearly visible.
