When I know there will be sunny days, where the solar panels will work some magic, I'll try to run the dishwasher and/or washing machine. The electricity here is becoming quite expensive, and if er give back to the grid, we actually have to pay a fine over it! So if there are sunny moments forecast, then I sure try to use them.... 😊

Good morning @npub14kx…urew
I've received the update for the app, which includes the quoting options! 😁 Thanks for the hard work. :blobcatflower: But, I have a question: is there a way to change a setting so the option of "who's able to quote" is always set to my preferred setting? I now need to change it with every Toot I write.
Maybe it's already in the settings options? I tried to find it but... No luck yet.
Hopefully there will be a way to set the quote option to a preferred setting, since changing it with every Toot is a bit annoying (I do like to Toot a bit... 🫣).
Thanks in advance for your support and all your hard work!! :blobcatflower:

#Journal of a slightly busy Dutch Pixy :pixy_party: (Thursday, 04/09/2025).
I woke up a few times during the night and then I got up around 0:45. A little early, but I was wide awake so I best start my day.
According to the watch, I slept about 8 hours in total. My sleep score was at 89, so not too shabby. My energy score was low, at 59, as my "rhythm was off". As I mentioned yesterday, if you don't sleep between 23-2, my watch will take off points because it thinks you're disrupting your sleep routine. You can't change that for folks that are doing better on a different time schedule... 🤔
I got up and went to the scale. It showed me the same weight as the previous day. I took my meds, got dressed, and got ready to head to the gym. When I saw the moon shining rather beautifully, I got teary eyed. I thought about my grandma. But also, all the nights where I walked with Arwen and where I took snaps of the moon 🌕 during those SniffiVerse™ walkies...
I got to the gym safe and sound and dried my eyes and headed in. As I was scrolling a bit on Masto, my stomach started to cramp. Damn! Not here... Not now... 😔 Of course there were several people still around, some of whom would use the ladies room... Full of shame, I headed to the furthest, smallest, loo and did my terrible thing... 🫣 Ugh! That's always the downside for me, coming back from vacation where I enjoyed (white) buns. It always affects my bowels. The joys of IBS. 😔
After that, I headed to the seated bike. I rode on a low level at a slow speed for half an hour. Then I headed to the treadmill. I walked in it for ten minutes, most of it at 2,8kmh with a 2% incline. I still feel like I wobble, like my right leg seems shorter than the left one. Maybe it's true, maybe it has to do with my muscles? I definitely need to ask my PT next Tuesday. After the walk, I used the massage chair for ten minutes and then I got ready to head home again.
I changed my clothes and then headed upstairs to work on my blog a bit. After that I relaxed with some telly. Around 5:30 I tried to quietly pack Skoosh with my recycling cans and bottles. A short walk after that before I got into Skoosh and I headed to Nijmegen.
The steets were less busy than I thought, so I was at my parents too early, even though I had filled up Skoosh at the gas station. While mum was getting ready, bestie called me, so I had a chat with her while waiting for mum.
When mum was finally ready, we headed towards Kleve. First Penny, where we tried to get the recycling ♻️ bits handed in. Unfortunately, they didn't accept it all, so we were left with a few bits. Still, not having been there for a while made it that we got €50 for all the bottles and cans! That goes into the "puppy saving tin" 🐾.
We managed the other groceries we needed, so we headed back to Nijmegen. Two stores there to visit. But at the Appie, I got a very painful entrance. The gate closed a tad fast and rather hard, and of course it smashed against the most painful bit of my leg. 😢 So after some pain and tears, mum and I told a worker there, as mum also got the gate smashed against her... Of course this didn't take away the ouchies, so I hobbled through the store, trying to get back on track.
We got back to my parent's house and I helped unpack the car and bags. When mum was ready with her bits and bops, we headed to the small woods with Bas. It was a bit hard for me to be there, as some of the last snaps of Arwen were made there. 😢 But the walk was nice, although a tad sore.
After the walk, dad wasn't up yet, and I didn't have the time nor the energy to wait too long. So mum and I gathered the needed things to head to the city's center to pick up the two laptops for dad and me... We couldn't park at the usual spot, unfortunately, so we had to park in a further away location which was also more expensive. But the pickup went well, payment went OK, and before we knew it, we were heading back to Skoosh again.
When we got back, dad was up. So I handed him the bag with his laptop and mouse. After that I gathered my groceries and laptop and packed up Skoosh to head back home. Fortunately, "my spot" was still free, so I could easily park behind the house and get my stuff inside.
I fixed some food and then I unpacked the laptop. Slowly started to install things and bits and such. But I was rather tired, so after a while I just gave up and got ready to head to bed. My leg was very sore and I needed some extra meds to be able to lay down properly so I could relax and be able to fall asleep.
I didn't wake up too often during the night, and in the end, I woke up at 2 when the alarm went off. I had slept for about 9 hours! Which was a long time for me... Ready to start the night 😉.

#GoodMorning and #TZAG everyone :blobcattea:
It's 7AM here and I've been awake for a little while. I was sore when I got up, but I think my painkillers are slowly kicking in, so I shoud be able to help mum and then walk Basje in a bit. And, today mum and I will visit the Harley shop in Wetzlar, so I am really excited about that. My wallet is trying to hide at the moment as it knows it will need a diet when I've been at the HD place... :ablobcatangel:
I had a rather decent night, but when I woke up, I wanted to visit the loo and sleep some more. And then I saw it was 3 minutes before the alarm was set to go off. And I wanted to be ready in time, in case my mum would be ready earlier.
I think I will need to head to her room in a bit, so I will finish up this Toot and get going. I hope you will have a nice day, or that you are having a nice day!
I will add an image that AI made for me. I know folks dislike AI and I understand it all too well. I don't use it for meaningless bits. But I wanted to try the image thing on a new one that I was using last night, and together with the image I made for the crystal glass thingies that I want to make, it came up with this one... I do love it. And I hope that @npub12dn…0hjt can help me with a nice and suiting alt text to add.
Catch you all later folks!!!

#GoodEvening and #TZAG everyone :darkmodeparrot:
I've had a productive day. At least, I wrote my two journal toots, I finally emailed my good friend, and I finished a blog post for tomorrow. And... I had several good walkies with Sir Little Noise™, the first and longest one with mum as well, and all in all, I got the most steps today since my surgery! Currently my watch shows me I'm at 11.845 steps, or 8,82km. So not too shabby at all!
I showered 🚿 as well, yay me! And I saw how bruised my hip area still is, even after almost 8 weeks... 🫣 I'll include a crappy snap, and I'll CW it, just in case... Hopefully @npub12dn…0hjt can help with a decent description. 😊
Then, we had a nice dinner at a local pizza place. :blobCat_pizza: yay!
Tomorrow morning, mum and I head out in time for some well needed groceries. I think dad wanted to visit some shops later on as well, so let's see how things will go... 😊
I'll go and read some on my eReader and maybe I'll be able to doze off a bit? But the fridge just started cooling again and damn, that thing is loud... :ablobcatgoogly:
Hope you're all having a good time folks! Catch you all later, I hope!

My last #MutualAid help request for Arwen :parrot_sad:
*Pupdate:*
We made it!!! :bear_nuzzle: €529/€502,75 💜
thanks so much to all that reached out and boosted. The little bit that's left will be used as a starting amount for the ash pendant that I'd love to get soon, to always have a bit of Arwen with me!
Every bit truly helps/helped me in getting Arwen home as soon as possible. (jusy got the vet bill, so I have adjusted the costs accordingly). Thanks so much to all that donated/boosted/shared comforting replies! :flying_hearts:
Sadly, Arwen passed away yesterday morning. She had a tumor on her heart and she was suffering, so she deserved to end that, and sleep forever. When she passed, she took a big piece of my heart with her.
Several months ago, I had a GoFundMe for her costs of cremation and an urn. I had saved that money, but... It turns out I need some more now. And I'm ashamed to ask, but I really do want to get Arwen home as quick as possible.
Last April, you sweet lovely folks helped me gather €400. So that's my starting funds. Unfortunately, laat month, I spend €187+82, on medical costs for her, so my piggy bank has been depleted.
The vet where Arwen passed has a good connection with a different animal funeral service. But they were very helpful and I was just overwhelmed. So, to keep things easy at a time like that, mum and I decided to use their services.
Unfortunately, this means that the costs will be higher than what I had put aside, thanks to your help.
The cremation will be €425.
The urn that mum and I chose was €194.
There are €45 costs of picking up Arwen and bringing back the urn.
And I don't know the vet costs yet, but I recon they may be around €238,75 (edited, I just got the bill).
Some friends have already told me they wanna help. For which I'm super grateful. But, I now need to hang my head in shame, and grumble down, and ask for your help with Arwen's costs one last time...
Total costs will be € 902,75. I already had the €400 from the previous GoFundMe. Which leaves ± €502,75 to go...
I know times are hard on us all. Please don't be ashamed if you're not able to donate. Boosting is just as welcome. I appreciate all your support in any way, and I'm ashamed that I need to ask for more help, after so many already came through for me during my previous begging toots. :parrot_sad:
I have a :kofi: Kofi and PayPal link. I don't have the spoons to work with GoFundMe now. All the current happenings had drained me from having extra spoons to use, unfortunately.
I'll try to keep this Toot updated next I can. I can never repay you, I can never fully express the feelings I experience when I may be on the receiving end of your support and generosity. :flying_hearts:
My two ways of receiving financial support right now are:
Https://www.ko-fi.com/PlaystationPixy
Https://PayPal.me/CynniPixy
Sorry for asking for help again. It pains me to say that this will be the last time where I will need help with Arwen... :parrot_sad: but I'd love to get her home with me again.
Thank you for your understanding, for your support. Please do boost if you can, as this can make a big difference to the reach of this Toot. :boosts_ok_gay:
Arwen is free now, no more pains, no more struggles... My period of mourning has began. And dealing with money issues makes it so much more difficult...

I is back! I is a little later, as I had a big clean-up to do when I got up. It was my own fault, I know... And Arwen felt so bad about it... :parrot_sad: and so did I... What happened? Well...
Arwen's tummy has been upset since Sunday. And yesterday it seemed like she was improving some. I let her out and went to the couch. We went out again. An hour later. But, after another hour, I woke up in such pains... Arwen didn't want to go out. And I *had* to go to bed, my back was killing me. I woke up crying so that's how bad it was. I asked Arwen if she needed out. Nope. I went to bed. Half an hour later I heard Arwen. So I wanted to take her out. Nope, she went to sleep in the bed next to mine. I was so tired that... I slept till the alarm! I had not heard Arwen, and I guess she didn't try to wake me (she never does, that's why I was on the couch for three nights). So she was on the couch looking all sad... And the smell was bad! The whole hallway was full of shitty :parrotpoop: bits *everywhere*. The two mats were so gross...
First, I took her out. Then, I got my gloves and cleaning stuff. The mats went to the garden. I cleaned the worst bits with paper towels. Then I got the mop and cleaned the floor beat I could (my back still wasn't the best). The water went over the mats in the garden...
Arwen didn't want to go out when I was done, so fingers crossed 🤞🏻 she will be OK while I'm at the gym. If not, then I hope she'll go back to the hallway... As that's easiest to clean at least...
So yeah, I had a few hours of good sleep. And was rewarded with a shitty job...
I thought Arwen was doing better, but I guess there was too much time between the outings. But when I offered, she refused... 😔
Usually, mum and I go to Germany on Thursday morning. But maybe I will go alone today, and mum will watch Arwen. Mum wanted to go, but I need some heavy things, so it may be best if I go and take her things as well then...
It had been a good day, I had fun at the Zoo with my friend. Didn't take many snaps as I was too busy chatting. And it was more busy as we were a bit later, so I needed my spoons to keep calm in between the busy bits. I did get a few snaps of a chimpanzee with a young one. And of the two capibaras. So I'll share those here.
Let's quickly get to my exercises, so Arwen doesn't need to wait too long for me to come back!
Hope you're all doing well!

:dogeparrot: SniffiVerse™ walkies Toot :annoyingdog:
Ello frens and fans of Arwen :verified_paw:
We're back on another adventure :kirby_walk: Arwen is doing rather well, not too many long sniffs (so far). The weather is at 8°C and it's dry, so that's not too bad. 😊
I rode the bike for half an hour at the gym. After that, I tried two shoulder exercises. Just a low weight, 3* 12 reps. It was a bit uncomfortable, but it also felt good to be doing them again. The plus side of being a bit later, it's a bit less busy at the exercise machines. 💪🏼
As I shared in the gym Toot, the PC should be delivered between 11-13:30. So yeah, fingers crossed that I can get it early and make a start with it. 🍀
I don't have too many plans for today, so that should be good... I'm not sure yet if we should go to the Herperduin again. Arwen really missed it yesterday... So let's see how this walk goes, and how we both feel in a few hours... 😊
I'll probably try to make some progress with one if the games I've been playing. Don't know which one yet... Or maybe my arm and hands will allow me to do some more work in the garden. Maybe I can get the anti weeds cloth set in Arwen's corner? 🤔 Let's see how I will feel after walkies and all that...
Maybe we won't go to the woods till Friday? It really all depends on how I feel, as my body is still rather sore. My physio got some good cracks out of my back, neck, and elbow yesterday... Ouch... :parrot_sad: My back feels a bit better now, but my elbow is still painful, unfortunately...
Ah well... Let's see if I can write a bit for my blog as I walk with my gall. I did manage to take a new snap of the moon. I'll let altbot make me a nice text for it. 🌔

#Journal of a Dutch Pixy :pixy_party: (Tuesday, 06/05/2025)
I woke up about an hour before the alarm was set to go off. Got Arwen her meds, and then I got to the scale. Weight went down a wee bit again, and I seem to be back to my "usual" weight now. I got dressed, let Arwen out, and took my meds. Checked up on some social media, till it was time to feed Arwen. When she was eating happily, I put out the snacks, and grabbed my bag. On my way to the gym!
I had several messages from a very sweet friend, so I tried to catch up with those as I enjoyed my protein shake. I got to the seated bike for about twenty minutes. Then I did 5 on the cross-trainer. My body was sore and it wasn't having any more. So I enjoyed a massage in the chair before I got ready to head back home again.
Washed up, changed clothes, had brekky. As it was a colder night with some wind, I was smart this time, and I got my warmer jacket. 😊 Arwen wanted the shorter walk, which was OK with me. When we got back, I switched my clothes again, and I got to the treadmill for an hour. My aim was half an hour, so I was really pleased that I managed to walk for a whole hour. 😊
While I was walking, I was using AI to create some alt texts for older images that I uploaded to my Flickr in the past. I have no idea if anyone will ever see the Alt texts, but it feels good to make some of my images more accessible. But yeah, even with AI helping, it's still a lot of work to get the texts to the images in Flickr. But, it was a good distraction, as I did manage to walk for an hour. 😊
I washed up again, changed clothes, and headed to the couch for some relaxing. I was rather tired, but unfortunately, my brain was too active to let me really relax.
I walked a short walk with Arwen. Then I was playing a game when my bestie called me. The school vacation was over and she had to work again. We had a nice chat till she arrived at her work. I played the game some more, and then I got ready to walk to the supermarket for some groceries.
Unfortunately, they didn't have all that I wanted to get... Which was a bit of a bummer. When I got back, I had some food and I walked Arwen again. After that, there was a wee bit of time to game some more, until it was time to get ready to head to Cuijk.
After Arwen had her meal and a short walk, I got my bags and I headed to Cuijk. A quick stop for a quick shower for Skoosh. The construction work had made her brown instead of white. I knew that washing her properly would not help much yet, as the construction work is still going on. But a rinse would protect the paint some, as there was so much sand and dust on her. When I aimed the pressure thingie on her, and water hit her, she was dripping with brown water! Iiiieeeeeuuuuwwww so gross! She wasn't all sparkling after a quick rinse, but it definitely was an improvement. As long as it will last.... 🤔
I went to the PT and waited till it was my turn. My physio was running a bit late, so I was getting a bit stressed, as I also had to visit Lidl after the session, and I needed to be back in time for walkies... The session was good, albeit a bit painful due to my bad elbow. Then, I got my groceries, and I headed back home again.
I just had time to clean up the things, as Arwen was very eager for walkies. We had a nice walk with N&B, and the weather wasn't too bad. When we got back, I relaxed a bit with some telly until it was time to get ready for bed.
Arwen went out for a wee and then it was sleepies time. It didn't take too long before I dozed off. I woke around 21 for the loo, and then I snoozed again until about 3 minutes before the alarm was set to go off.
So, I got up and started my day/night.

We're back from walkies.
I changed into some fitness clothes.
Lying on the couch now, as I need a bit of rest.
After that, I will get to the treadmill for a while, and see how that goes.
I wish I wasn't so tired all the time... 😔
But I know some exercises will help me.
So I'm trying to find the balance... Some rest, some exercises........

We're back on another adventure. This time, I did check the temps and got a warmer jacket, especially since there is a colder wind. It's 7°C and dry at the moment, with a real feel of 5°C.
I didn't do too much at the gym, my sore muscles weren't happy with me. I managed about 20 minutes on the seated bike, and then I did 5 on the cross-trainer.
Arwen is a bit slow tonight, so let's see how this goes. Maybe we shouldn't go to the Herperduin? But I know that she always loves it... It's hard when you need to make choices like these. :parrot_sad: you want them to have the best time, but you also don't want them to do too much...
After this Toot, I'll go back to answering some sweet messages by a sweet friend. 😊 I tried to catch up at the gym, but my hands were struggling and there was a lot to read and reply to. Friend is sleeping now, so they won't mind if I reply later on, they're not waiting on it. 😊
Hopefully, I'll hear more about the PC delivery today... It should happen tomorrow so... Fingers crossed 🤞🏻. Hoping for an early delivery time, so I can play around with it. My plan is to bet it installed first, and when it's running, then I'll add the HD I have and the firewire card. Bit by bit...
I used to be so confident in doing things like this, but these days, I'm always afraid I'll mess up and make stupid mistakes. 😔
I'm playing with the idea of going to the zoo this Friday... The school vacations should be over, the weather doesn't look too bad, and it's been a while since I went... If all goes well with the PC delivery tomorrow, then I'll check with mum on Thursday, to see if she can watch Arwen for a few hours while I visit the zoo. 😊
There is a lovely moon out, so of course I tried to capture it again. 😇
Let's answer my friend some more, and maybe write a bit for my blog again. Catch you all later folks! :darkmodeparrot:

Hide the food, cause I'm back! :dancing_kirby: well, I did snack too much yesterday, as the scale wondered if it were really me due to the weight change. But I also had IBS issues, so that may have caused some of the extra weight as well... 🫣 Sorry, TMI...
I had a good sleep! I fell asleep rather quickly and then I woke again, about half an hour before the alarm was set to go off. I really had to go, but yeah, I had a long sleep and I felt reasonably good, so that's a good start. 😊
I got emails that my parcels had been delivered at my neighbors two doors down. So that means I can pick up the vinyls later today and give them a spin! Yay... Otherwise I would have had to wait quite a few days, as this Monday is a holiday in the Netherlands, so no parcels then. So I'm very glad that my neighbors were able to accept them. I've tried it with my neighbors 5 doors down, but the delivery service things that's too far away... (cause the houses are just around the corner, it's less than 50 meters I guess and they always pass both the houses, as thetes no other roads in between, but still, they won't deliver there... 🤔). So yay for the other neighbors being home. 😊
I still feel bad about ordering the vinyls while I have to find a way to pay for Arwen's pills in two weeks... But my friend said I needed to get something for me, as I deserved that... Still hope I can make ends meet to find a way to pay for the pills in 1½ weeks, as they're quite expensive. 😔 Ugh... But they help her so well... I hope I can make things work, otherwise I may need to check my saving coupons but I don't think I've been able to save too much since I used them for her shot... She needs the pills after my bday, so maybe I'll get enough prezzies that it may cover some of the costs? 😔
But on the other hand, dad is helping me get a new PC! The laptop does it's best, but it's older than Arwen and it's struggling. Plus I am struggling as I don't know Linux well enough... The pc will need Windows for my old video editing software... But maybe some people can help me to make it a double boot, so I can learn more about Linux on it then as well. I will order the pc this morning, so hopefully I can get it somewhere next week... 🤞🏻 It's a very simple gaming pc, but I don't game on my pc too much, and my video editing was working OK on the old pc, so it should be OK on this new one as well. I've seen some awesome beasts on the website, but no money for that. This is a good one as well, or it should be, for what I want to do with it... I have a stand alone Blu-ray burner, so with windows, that will run as well, so I can use it to play disc's and to backup stuff... Can't wait to order it... 😊
I will add the specs (from the Dutch site). I know things could be way better. But within the funds and what I need... I'm very grateful to be getting this! I'll let altbot help me as this is a bit hard for me to describe.
Owwww I just ordered 😂 dad said I should, so I'd be sure to get it ASAP...
Best start some exercises now, as the scale was very unkind to me... Need to get some exercises done I guess...
Catch you all later, when I've written the journal Toot! 😁

:dogeparrot: SniffiVerse™ walkies Toot :annoyingdog:
Ello frens and fans of Arwen :verified_paw:
It's a warmer night, and we're out and about for walkies again. It's dry with 14°C at the moment. I'll open the back door of the house again when we're back home, as it was almost 23°C indoors and that was a bit much for Arwen... I already opened the upstairs windows some, so that I can hopefully ride my bike a bit, before I crash on the couch with my laptop to work on my journal blog post... 😊
Today should be a more relaxing day. I rode the seated bike for 25 minutes and I used the cross-trainer for 5. Couldn't use the massage chair as one had been taken already... So hopefully I can ride my bike a bit after walkies. The scale wasn't too unkind this morning, so that was nice.
I even got a snap of the moon again! Finally it was bright enough and it was "up" long enough for me to take a snap... 😊 I edited it a wee bit and I'll ask altbot for some help with it.
Hope that you're all having a good (start of the) weekend! :darkmodeparrot:
Catch you later folks!

:bear_love: Ello sweet and lovely Friendos :purple_heart_sparkle:
I is back folks! It's too late to run! :pixy_party:
I had a good night! 😁 Woke once for the loo around 21, was like "way too early" and went back to sleep. Then startled as my alarm woke me! I almost got 7½ hours of sleep, even my watch was excited 😂 haha! My sleep score was 86, so not too bad at all, considering my watch hates it that I don't sleep between 23-3 😂.
Today should be a busy day. No garden work for me, as I'll be taking mum to Germany. Yesterday the shops were closed there, so we'll be going today. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 that we'll be early enough, so it won't be too busy yet...
We will also visit the garden center again, so I can get the things I need for Arwen's corner. The funds are very low, especially as Arwen also needs her pills soon again (and they're so expensive :parrot_sad:). But they help her so well, so I gotta do what I can to make ends meed and to get her the meds... But if I can get the cloth, pins, and a simple outdoor carpet, then the corner should be made well enough for her to relax in the shade. As much as we can relax with all that noise... Can't wait for the weekend, when they don't work! 😂
But yeah, Germany, the Appie, Intratuin... It will be a busy morning for sure... So I guess that, when we get home, I'll be very tired...
It should be less warm today, which will be good, especially for the dogs. They say it should be a sunny day again, the last one for a few days, with 24°C. When I went to bed yesterday afternoon, my weather station said it was 31°C. Dunno how accurate it was, but it was very warm when I let Arwen out for the last wee. This weekend should be a bit cooler with maybe some rain? Next week, it has temps between 12-16°C, so cooler than this week, but not too bad overall... I'll add the forecast, just because I can. But I'll ask altbot to help me with it, as I'm not too good with snaps like these...
My body is sore. My right arm, shoulder, elbow, and hand are complaining when I move. Heck, my elbow even complains when I don't move... 😔 My lower back was giving me some issues as well, so I was glad for the pain meds before I went to bed. Today a rest from the garden, if weather allows, maybe I can finish Arwen's corner this weekend... My green bin is almost filled, and they won't empty it till next week, so I have to leave some space available for the food bits... If body and weather allow, I'll just keep digging out more weeds, and then I'll stack them. So when the bin is emptied next week, I can start to fill it again. I really want the garden to have less weeds. I had the anti-weed cloth for the front garden, but now, I wanna finish the back one first. I can't properly relax when I see all the weeds. (I can't really relax as long as the construction is being done behind the house). We should have some pavements again behind the house by the end of next week. Which means... They'll use the vibrating machine again to get all the stones in place... Which will drone through the house again... Wish I was less sensitive to sounds... 😔 Ah well.... Some day, it should all be done, and then, we should have a meat area where we can relax 🤞🏻.
Guess I'd better get some exercises done now! Will catch you in a bit, when I've written my journal Toot! 😁

Aaaaaand..... I'm done! 😅
Haha! I wish! But.... One part is more done than it was before I started....
The peace and quiet have gone for now, as the construction outside has started again...
But, some weeds have gone as well!!
Tomorrow, I'll head back to the garden center with mum, to get the things I need for "Arwen's corner". Hopefully she'll have some time to relax there...
(but with the construction going on, we may need to wait for their summer break to get some quiet... And I don't know if she'll make it till then.... Still, I'll do all I can to get that corner done ASAP!)
I'll ask altbot to help me with the video, as I really suck at that....

Well, some blogs are ready... It also shows the blog about the alt texts, that somehow got the link shared yesterday, even though it's still in the "to be posted" scheduled list... 🤔
I'll ask altbot to help me with this, as I am not too good with text and all that...
The blog posts get shared on the Fedi through the blogs Fedi account @npub1mht…cjzn
I try to boost the posts when they go live, which usually is once a day, at 7AM CEST.
Well, I guess it's time for me to get to the home trainer for a bit now. Am not too motivated, but I'll be OK once I am on it, I hope...
Catch you all later!

:bear_love: Ello sweet and lovely Friendos :purple_heart_sparkle:
I'm glad that, years ago, I got myself some NC earplugs. They're a tad old and they probably need replacing at some point... But having them means that I can block out some of the awful noise from the construction work behind the house, and am able to focus on my book a bit.
Of course, reading in the garden would be better if the garden was free of weeds... And even better without the awful noises of the construction workers.... 😇
But I try to block that out, relax in the warmth of the sun, and to enjoy the book. It does help that I've read the book before, I could not focus on reading something new with all that noise...
Hope you're all having a good time! #TZAG

PS. I'll ask altbot for help with the vid, I struggle with images, vids are even harder for me... 😔

Thank you for the link, yeah I saw that my name wasn't tagged in properly, hence I couldn't see it.
I do agree with Miraz, there are so many more gendere than the two, and then theres the mixed ones, where you experience both... And indeed, non-binary just seems to make sense in many ways...
I also liked the demigirl one, that @npub1t9v…ya35 told me about in another reply on the original Toot.
Yeah, I am a woman, but my idea of that just doesn't confirm with most of society's "rules" for women. So indeed, I agree with you and Miraz, we get to define our own ways of femininity and womanhood. :ablobcatheartsqueeze:
Thanks to all for the kind replies so far! I really appreciate it :heart_sparkles_nonbinary:

Thanks for this! 😁
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the reply that @npub1er2…9d4x gave that you refer to. 😔 Maybe the instances aren't federated yet? Could you please screenshot it for me so I can reply to your toots better, knowing what Miraz has shared as well... Fankoos 🫶🏻 in advance! 🤗

Thank you! 🤗 I saw the message and sent a little thank you message back. I really appreciate it 💜
Yeah, we know that they don't live as long as we'd love them to... She's almost 12, and she's been through a lot... But she never lost her spirit and she's still trying to enjoy life now. So I try to spoil her even more, as she fully deserves it. 🌹

:parrot_sad: Ow my.....
I'm already an emotional wreck. I try to keep thinking positive, to keep focus on the good times that we may still be able to share...
But that little voice in the back of my head keeps telling me that "this may be the last time that...". And I *know* I should not go there... But I'm just so scared of losing her... 💔
And now, slowly, some support is coming in. :ablobcatheartsqueeze: and every notification brings me to tears... :moomin_sad: partially sad tears because I know the time is running out... Also, partially happy tears , because people care for me and Arwen. People think we're important enough to get this support... However sad the reasons may be...
I can never thank you with my words. I feel they will always be insufficient... If that makes sense...
But we're at €290/€400 now, and it means that I, hopefully, will be able to bring her back home, after her soul has crossed the 🌈 bridge...
As I mentioned in the update on GoFundMe, it would be amazing is we could raise enough to also make a start for the costs for the ash-pendant. But... Getting her the private cremation and urn, and taking her home, those will be most pressing, once she's passed... When I've got the ashes, I can save for the ash-pendant to wear her close to my heart forever....
Thanks ever so much for all your support! :bear_love: Arwen and I really appreciate all you do for us... :bear_nuzzle:
I'll try to keep sharing all the Arwen pics I can, both here and on Pixelfed. Because she is worth it... :purple_heart_sparkle:
For those that want to make me so some more, the link to the GoFundMe is https://www.gofundme.com/f/AlwaysArwen :neomouse_hug_blahaj_heart:
