  #Journal of a tired Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Tuesday, 13/10/2026). Another short sleep. Just a little over 5 hours of sleep. I just wish I could get better nights. Most of the time, Koa is doing so well these days, sleep wise, and I wish I could snooze while he does it. But often, my brain is too wired, my body too sore, and/or there's such bad noise coming from outside... Often the very annoying screaming kid. I hope that, when winter comes, she won't be eager to go out t...

  RE: https://beige.party/@PixysJourney/117442307466698497 Howdy sweet Friendos! I've not hired a dog trainer yet, as I don't have the funds for it. I know Koa and I need it... And I know that, without any help, I don't know if I can keep living with Koa 😭 which scares the heck out of me! I love the dude, but I need to be able to live... 😢 A week ago, I wrote a blog post about this: 🔗 https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2026/10/09/a-new-fear/ And just now, I created a GoFu...

  :kirby_prideheart: Ello sweet and lovely Friendos :purple_heart_sparkle: I just noticed that my mutual aid Toot had not been shared, but ended up in my drafts 🫣 So I just shared it... 😊 My blog post today will be about this topic as well. I've been crying a lot this night, scared of what will happen if Koa and I can't get the help we need so desperately... 😭 I either can't leave the house easily for many years to come. Or I'll need to rehome him through the bre...

  :kirby_prideheart: Ello sweet and lovely Friendos :purple_heart_sparkle: I can't seem to stop crying... 😢 I really hope that there are people who can help us... I feel so useless, failing to be there in the way Koa needs me. I feel ashamed, begging for help, yet again. I feel scared, not knowing if Koa and I will be able to overcome all this, with the right help, and stay together as long as possible :bb: If anyone missed the Toot, and has the ability and kindness to help us with...

  #BooksIn2026 #Bookstodon #Reading I've recently finished another John Grisham book: The Chamber. I had seen the movie a few times, but I had never read the book. So now, I have... And I have to say, I enjoyed the movie, but the book was better, especially with details on the way to the chamber... If that makes sense... I checked several websites, some I'll link in this toot. I tried to make a spoiler-free text about the book, the characters, the reception by critics and fans, and how...

  #Journal of a Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Tuesday, 22/09/2026). After a bit of a decent night, with almost 7 hours of sleep in total, I woke up again, and saw that it was time to start our "day". So, I got up, let Koa out of his crate, and we started our routine. I made Koa his food, and then I let him out so he could do his business. I took my meds, and when Koa was ready, we headed to the couch. I got my laptop out, and started writing my email reply to my sweet friend. I wanted...

  #Journal of a slightly relaxed Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Wednesday, 16/09/2026). I had a very different kind of night. I did wake up a few times, but when I woke up the last time, and I saw the time… Well, I was amazed at how long I had been able to sleep, how long Koa had allowed me to sleep… The sleep had been very welcome, but my body was a bit stiff, and I felt a bit “off”, as I had woken up later than usual, making it harder to stick to the usual routine. I had “things to do”, and now...

  :kirby_prideheart: Ello sweet and lovely Friendos :purple_heart_sparkle: Well, it looks like I finally caught up with my journals again. 😊 And I am sooooo far behind on all of my notifications, that I'm afraid to see how much of you have been waiting for a long time now to get a reply from me! 🫣 I still need to get my blog in better condition as well... But for now, I'm glad that I finally am back on track with the journal Toots. 😇 I'm fixing some food now, and then Koa will need...

  #Journal of a Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Sunday, 02/08/2026). I had a bit of a mixed night. My back wasn’t too pleased, the short working meds kept bugging out, making it very painful to try and get up from bed. There was a dog that needed a potty break at times. There was a buzzing terrorist that woke me up once too… Ah well, I guess it’s just how things are these days… How they have been for a while now. And while I still hope that things will get better soon, I feel like I have been wait...

  :kirby_prideheart: Ello sweet and lovely Friendos :purple_heart_sparkle: #GoodMorning and #TZAG everyone :ablobcatcoffee: It's been a decent enough night. Koa and I only walked a shorter walk, chosen by Koa. And I managed to finish two blog posts, which made me feel good. I shared a Toot about dealing with the start of peri, while also being AuDHD. It came forth from a blog post I was writing, as I was/am really struggling with motivation and enjoyment of things. Thank you to all that sh...

  :kirby_prideheart: Ello sweet and lovely Friendos :purple_heart_sparkle: It seems that Pixy's Journey is continuing on a new path. I know all life is uncertain, however well you try to plan. And I know that some things will happen, but you can never really prepare for them... As these things happen in different ways for everyone, with some overlap of course, and there is no "set pathway" to follow, to make things easier... I've been experiencing symptoms that I have been deal...

  I had missed the last update that @MakerTube@mastodon.social was switching to a paid subscription model, to help cover the costs. But, I saw a Toot about it just now, and... I set up my subscription (with some efforts, as my brain fog 😶‍🌫️ was not helping me) plan, which now shows up on my profile info, so I guess I did it right! My little space on #MakerTube is currently using ±30GB. The plan I entered will support to 100GB, so... I should be OK to share more Koa vids (among others) for some tim...

  Ever since the last @Pixelix@mastodon.social update, it's been having issues with showing my pixelfed.com account... I don't know if this is a error of Pixelix, as it worked well before the last update... Or if there's is something happening with the settings of Pixelfed.com... I took a screenshot of the error, but it's a foreign language to me, one I know nothing of, so hopefully this will make more sense to the people involved... I have been having some issues with Pixelfed.co...

  Koa and I haven't had our longer walk yet... Guess I'd better put on my longer pants (give the bitey beasties less chance to snack on me), and see if Koa is interested in a walk... 😊 (and see if I can motivate myself, as I usually love the nightly walks, but somehow, I'm a bit lost for motivation now... 😔).

  #Journal of a very sore, but also excited, Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Monday, 27/07/2026). I didn’t have a very bad night, but I woke up a little earlier than I had hoped, and my back and bowels told me that it was time to get up, so… I did just that. The scale wasn’t as bad as I had thought it would be, and I got dressed. I fixed Koa’s meal, and took my meds. Then, we headed to the couch, where I started on my email to my sweet friend. When I was done, I fixed some brekkie, and I started o...

  #Journal of a hot & cold Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Sunday, 26/07/2026). I didn’t have a too bad night. Koa seems to be getting better at sleeping longer periods of time, which is a nice thing to happen… But, I did struggle with my body, both my back and my belly, unfortunately. So when I got up, I had to deal with that first, before I could get to the scale, dress, deal with my meds, and fix Koa’s food. When Koa finished his meal, we went to the couch, where I got my laptop, and starte...

  #Journal of a slightly better Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Thursday, 23/07/2026). I didn’t have the worst night, but I did wake up with my back not being too happy with me… Ah well, Koa was all good with getting up and starting our “day” as well, so that was good. We started with the usual things, and when Koa had a full belly, we went to the couch, where I started my email to my sweet friend. When I was done, I got my brekkie, and I started writing my journal toot. But, Koa was a bit restles...

Hopefully we can manage another nice 1km walk together, which would be good for the both of us. 😊 I've been sharing a few pictures on my two Pixelfed acco...
