  1. Stupid body 💀

    Sleep, energy, pain, discomfort, exercise, fitness, headaches, muscle aches, blasting tinnitus... The joys of living! After so many months of all sorts of things that came on my path... A new love in my life. A furry one on four legs, mind you! 😉 Sleepless nights. Very painful back. Surgery on my hand. Puppy going into puberty. Struggles with getting proper meds... Some days, I almost feel like things are OK a bit. I may have gotten some decent sleep. I may have been able to get some exercise in. Koa may have been the bestest boy! Maybe even the scale had a kinder attitude towards me... But those days are still very rare. And my body sometimes seems to just hate me... I will feel exhausted, and really need some sleep. So my body will be as uncomfortable as it can be... Or I have these ideas of getting certain exercises in, and my muscles will be too painful, my head will ache too much, or my motivation will get killed off my severe exhaustion and the need to just do nothing... 😔 […]

  3. Journal – Week 42, October 2026

    Another week with its ups and downs, both health wise and weather wise. Some good bits, some nights when I had some sleep. And some very short, broken, nights, when I felt rather bläh and beaten. The constant changing of the weather didn't help to much either, with the temperature and humidity swings. But, Koa and I have gotten through the week... Another week done and dusted. Onwards to the next one, where Koa will turn 8 months old. A screenshot of a 14-day weather forecast graphic for Herpen from the Dutch app Weer & Radar, recorded on October 11, 2026.The graphic displays daily temperature trends, expected sunshine, and rain chances over a two-week period running Monday through Sunday for two consecutive weeks:General Weather TrendThe first five days (Monday through Friday) feature plenty of sunshine with mild daytime temperatures climbing toward a peak of 21°C on Thursday, before cooling down.

  4. All the help in the world 🌐

    I've been asking for quite a bit of help lately. Health issues, in combination with a young pup, and no partner... It meant needing help with puppy sitting, walkies, and training. I've asked for help with my CPTSD, but those waiting lists are brutal. Plus, it already took some time to be diagnosed with it. Healthcare moves slowly, and can be quite frustrating for sure. And now, I've had to swallow some of my pride, the wee bit I still had left. I had to acknowledge that I don't have the knowledge to provide Koa with the support he really needs right now. 😔 And then, I had to go a bit further, and set up my 3rd GoFundMe. I've had one in 2024, when Arwen's bad ear infections were rather difficult to beat, and much of my funds had been used for the move. Then in 2025, after Arwen had passed away. 😭 I had some money for the cremation and urn, but I never figured there would be extra vet costs for "helping her escape from the pain" 😭. So yeah... And now, I need a trainer for Koa (and me). To guide us through the anxiety Koa is dealing with when he's left by himself. 🙏 […]

  6. Journal – Week 41, October 2026

    Another mixed week, both weather wise, as sleep wise, as energy wise, as emotional wise... Heck, everything seemed to fluctuate from one side to another and then take a huge turn and change again. I would love it if there could be some more (positive) stability. I wish for more better nights, more rest, less pain, less struggles, and preferably, also less issues with controlling my emotions. It's been a bit of an usual week, as in that things are the same, in some kind of way... It would just be great if things would become a bit easier, a bit less challenging and difficult... But, never give up, never surrender... So, I just keep trying to go on, and hope that I'm doing the right things, and that things may (finally) start to get a bit better/easier/relaxed... A weather forecast graphic from Weer & Radar showing a 14-day trend for Herpen, dated 4 October 2026.The chart displays daytime maximum temperatures in red dots and overnight minimum temperatures in blue dots (in degrees Celsius), along with sunshine and rain indicators across 14 consecutive days starting on Monday:Week 1:Monday: High of 20°C, low of 7°C, sunny.Tuesday: High of 20°C, low of 11°C, sunny.Wednesday: High of 20°C, low of 11°C, sunny.Thursday: Noticeable drop with a high of 13°C, low of 11°C, two raindrops indicating rain, and overcast skies.Friday: High of 12°C, low of 7°C, one raindrop indicating light rain, with low sunshine.Saturday: Rebounding to a high of 16°C, low of 11°C, sunny.Sunday: High of 16°C, low of 10°C, sunny.Week 2:Monday: High of 17°C, low of 10°C, sunny.Tuesday: High of 16°C, low of 8°C, sunny.Wednesday: High of 16°C, low of 7°C, sunny.Thursday: High of 17°C, low of 7°C, sunny.Friday: High of 17°C, low of 8°C, sunny.Saturday: High of 16°C, low of 6°C, with low sunshine.Sunday: High of 16°C, low of 6°C, one raindrop indicating light rain, and low sunshine.Overall, the period starts warm at 20°C, sees a brief cold and rainy dip mid-week around Thursday and Friday (down to 12°C–13°C), and then settles into mild, mostly sunny autumn weather around 16°C–17°C with chilly nights dropping into the single digits.

  7. The power of proper painkillers 💊

    I've been talking painkillers every day since early 2014. I've used them prior to that, but mostly after surgery or accidents. But ever since I started experiencing daily 24/7 pains throughout my body, I've been in need of assistance in the way of painkillers (and as much physical therapy as my insurance would allow). It took my then GP and I a while to find out what the best combination of meds was for me and my situation. Meds are more complicated for me, as I can't deal with certain types that doctors love to prescribe. The ones that do help me without nasty side effects are ones that they're more reluctant to give, because they can be addictive. Even when you've been taking a certain amount and combination for several years without incident, they still want you to take less because of the addiction risks. The thing I am "addicted" to? Getting through the day without being in too much pain. 😔 […]

  8. Journal – Week 40, September/October 2026

    It's been quite a week. There were some good bits, but also two bad ones that caused autistic meltdowns... There were nights with a bit of sleep, nights with bad dreams, and everything in between... The weather went up and down with its moods as well. One moment, it was like summer. The next moment was colder and wet. My mind is all ready to start getting more fit again. My body is struggling to find enough energy to just get through the day... I want to do so many things that I've not been able to do for quite some time. And I am trying to work on them all, slowly pushing myself to do a bit of this here, and to do a bit of that there. But it feels too little, like it barely scratches the surface of what I really would like to do. I know I need to take every little thing as part of a positive progress. But the ADHD in me wants to make huge steps and big progress! I know it doesn't work that way, but it doesn't mean that my brain will accept the very slow speed of progress... A 14-day weather forecast chart from Weer & Radar for Herpen, dated September 28, 2026.The image shows a daily line graph tracking minimum and maximum temperatures in degrees Celsius across two weeks, from Monday to the Sunday after next.Temperatures: Maximum temperatures (shown in red) start at 20°C on Monday, peak midweek at 24°C on Tuesday and 26°C on Wednesday, then drop back to around 19°C to 22°C for the rest of the period. Minimum temperatures (shown in blue) start relatively mild between 14°C and 18°C from Monday through Thursday, before dropping sharply to 10°C on Friday, hovering mostly between 9°C and 14°C for the remainder of the forecast.Daily breakdown (Max / Min):Monday: 20°C / 14°CTuesday: 24°C / 15°CWednesday: 26°C / 17°CThursday: 20°C / 18°CFriday: 19°C / 10°CSaturday: 21°C / 13°CSunday: 22°C / 14°CMonday: 21°C / 12°CTuesday: 20°C / 10°CWednesday: 21°C / 9°CThursday: 21°C / 9°CFriday: 19°C / 11°CSaturday: 19°C / 10°CSunday: 20°C / 11°CConditions & Sunshine: A bar along the bottom indicates sunshine levels and precipitation.

  9. Journal – Week 39, September 2026

    Another week has gone by... And the days were all over the place. I had to try to contact the store that had sold me the crate about the damages and missing screws. I had hoped the coach could have helped me, but she was ill, so I was on my own for it. Physio on Tuesday, which was rather needed and welcome. Wednesday and Thursday were "easy" days, but with the sleep I was getting, it was not too easy to make it through the days, unfortunately. Friday was hand therapy day, which went OK enough. The weekend was "easy" again, until Koa decided to try and eat a wasp on Saturday afternoon... That sure brought me some anxiety, stress, and worries. But... It seemed that Koa (and by extend I as well) had been fortunate, and things ended as well as possible. Sunday was spent with some relaxing and all, after all my spoons had already been used on Saturday. It was a very mixed week for sure. But in the end, I think Koa and I did OK "making it through". A screenshot of a 14-day weather forecast graphic from the Weer & Radar app, set against a dark teal-blue background.At the top left, yellow and white text reads "14-daagse verwachting, Herpen, 21 september 2026."

  10. Journal – Week 38, September 2026

    Another mixed week, both health wise, pain wise, sleep wise, and everything else wise... There were some good moments, and a few that were disappointing or hurtful. Some bad dreams have been haunting me, but... Koa also allowed me a few nights with some OK sleep (when my dreams allowed it as well). The weather had its ups and downs again. It's really going from summer to autumn at times, with some warmer, sunny days, but also some windy, more moist, days. Sometimes, the days felt OK, and I managed to do some stuff. Other days, I felt like I was on survival mode, just keeping it going until it was time to go back to bed again. I've felt bad about this at times, especially towards Koa, as he deserves someone with more energy to keep up with him. I want to be that person, and I know I need to become that person again. But, I need my right hand, and my back, to recover more. And then, when my body is ready, my mind needs to "flip the switch", and start working on the more physical part of my recovery: to get my strength and stamina back. I miss the Cynni that used to be able to go on walks with Arwen for several hours at a go. Heck, I don't want to be unkind towards Koa, but I still miss my gall too. Koa and I are working on becoming a better team together every day. He is doing a great job. Now, it's up to me to stay on my exercises for my hand. And, when I can, to start going on longer walks with Koa, and hopefully picking up some cardio exercises at home again. But, that's still, hopefully, part of my (near) future... Which does make it so important for me to have good days (and nights). 🐾🩵💜🩷🐾 A graphic from the weather app weer & radar showing a 14-day weather forecast for Herpen, dated September 14, 2026.At the top, bold text on a blue background reads "14-daagse verwachting Herpen, 14 september 2026."Below the header is a chart covering a two-week period from Monday through Sunday of the first week, and Monday through Sunday of the second week.

    What a week... It sure had some ups, and quite a few deep downs. Just feels like I can't keep up anymore. It's getting harder to keep going. I'm just so terribly exhausted. My body just won't stop hurting. And whenever something finally feels like it's getting a wee bit better, something else is going to hell and dragging me with it... 😢 I want to do right by Koa, but I feel like I am failing on him, and on myself all the time. It's getting harder to be social, both online and offline. My body is hurting so much. My tinnitus is making me nuts at times. I'm all out of spoons, and all the other cutlery 🍴 seems to have been stolen as well. Just trying to keep going on, hoping for good things to start happening. I need better sleep. I need less pain. I need more strength and energy, so I can provide Koa with what he needs... But, it wasn't happening this week... 😔 A 14-day weather forecast graphic from Weer & Radar for Herpen, dated September 7, 2026.

    It was yet another very mixed week. The weather went into all sorts of directions. Sunny, wet, windy, chilly... Well, my days went into all sorts of directions as well. On Monday, there was a difficult chat with my coach, but fortunately, a sweet friend came over to support me with it. Which was a very good thing, as she was able to explain some things way better than I could... Tuesday was physio day. On Wednesday, we had an easy day, where I tried to relax a bit. Thursday afternoon, mum came over, so that I could take a sleeping pill, so I could finally get a few hours of sleep. Mum spent the night, and in the morning, we went to the hospital for my therapy. Things didn't go too well with Koa, so that was a cause of some more stress. I had loads of stuggles, trying to get a few hours of sleep. On Sunday, a sweet friend came by, and the three of us went to the Herperduin. Which was very nice, but when we got back, I was super exhausted... So, of course I had troubles with my sleep again...

    It's been quite an emotional and exhausting week. It started with the stress and anxiety over Koa and the plushies tail. I had physio on Tuesday. On Wednesday, mum and I went to the hospital. My splint got adjusted, which was very painful. I got some new exercises. And when we got back, two friends came over to meet Koa for the first time. On Thursday, I tried to relax a bit. I have not been sleeping too good at all, and with all the stress and emotions, I just felt so exhausted. Mum came over on Friday with some groceries. And she helped me so I could take a shower. I tried to relax during the weekend, but somehow, I kept feeling so terribly tired. Koa got spoiled on Sunday afternoon, as the neighbor and her son took him out on a nice walk. A 14-day weather forecast graphic from "Weer & Radar" for Herpen, dated August 24, 2026.

  16. "I hope you're doing alright."

    A simple sentence that can carry wildly different meanings.

    What people most commonly have in mind when they say this is as follows. "I hope that you're doing alright. This is because if you come back telling me that you are *not* doing alright, I'm going to reject your declaration that you are suffering." I hope you're doing alright in this case is a hope that the person wishing this won't be bothered by someone else's suffering. They'll run away at the first sign that things are not alright, or they will counter with assertions that things aren't that bad, or that the sufferer should see the "silver linings."

    The less common meaning when someone says "I hope you are doing alright" is a hope that the target of this wish is doing fine, for their own sake. The person who says this statement with this meaning is often quite capable, if things are not actually alright, of listening to someone else's suffering.

    I'm in the latter camp... but often I find that people think I'm in the first camp.

    It's been quite a week... Dealing with my own health issues. Dealing with Koa's health issues, with an extra cause of worry being added to the pile of crap on Saturday to Sunday night. On Monday I visited the GP. We had a good talk, she ordered meds for me, and then the pharmacy did something that messed me up quite badly. The hospital was making a mess of things too, which got resolved on Tuesday, after causing quite a deal of stress as well. Wednesday, I needed to unwind from all the crap that had been happening the previous days. Thursday was OK enough, I guess. Friday, I went back to the hospital, where they made a few adjustments to my splint. It was a bit better now, but during the weekend, I noticed some other spots that weren't too comfy as well. On Friday to Saturday, Koa gave me a bit of a scare. When all seemed to be OK again, Koa "decided" to do the next dumb thing, which had me worried a lot, and when Sunday ended, it wasn't sure yet how this worrysome thing would end... I was hoping with all my might that it would end well. But there was no guarantee yet at the end of the week. 😢 A 14-day weather forecast graphic from weer & radar for Herpen, dated August 17, 2026. The graphic shows high temperatures in red, low temperatures in blue, and weather condition icons below a line chart across two weeks (Monday to Sunday, then Monday to Sunday).

    The week started with something very bad. Something that scared me, made me so ashamed, and had me crying at the weirdest moments. Tuesday went a wee bit better, but I still felt so numb. There was a physio appointment, which was very much needed. It was painful, but also helped my muscles to relax a bit. During the night, my cast was giving me painful issues, making me need to call the hospital on Wednesday. I had an appointment on Friday, but I didn't want to to have to deal with these pains till then. After any stressful, and very painful, hours, I got my cast replaced. Thursday, I tried to relax, as all the anxiety and pain had taken all available spoons from me. Friday was a long day. Therapy at the hospital in the morning, and Koa had a vet appointment in the afternoon. Poor dude... Due to Koa not behaving like his usual self during the night, I called the vet on Saturday morning, as I was worried about him. Sunday, I tried to keep going. I was very sore, and very tired, but glad that I now have a splint, as it does take some pain away. This week doesn't have too many pictures, as it's not that easy to take them when you only have one functioning hand (which is not working at 100%). A weather forecast graphic titled "14-daagse verwachting" for Herpen, dated August 10, 2026, created by weer&radar.At the top, bold white and yellow text displays the title, location, and date on a dark blue background. Below it, a large white card displays a two-week line graph spanning 14 days, starting from Monday. Light grey vertical bands highlight the two weekends (Saturday and Sunday). * Maximum Temperatures (Red Line): Starts at 24°C on Monday, dips slightly to 23°C on Tuesday, then climbs steadily to peak at 33°C on Friday. Temperatures cool down slightly over the weekend to 31°C and 28°C, remaining steady around 25°C to 28°C throughout the following week. * Minimum Temperatures (Blue Line): Ranges from a low of 11°C on Tuesday to a peak night temperature of 18°C on Saturday. For most of the second week, night temperatures hold steady at 15°C before dropping slightly to 12°C. * Sunshine Indicator: A horizontal bar at the bottom uses yellow shades to indicate expected sunshine. The first week shows bright yellow blocks representing high amounts of sunshine ("veel"), which fade into pale cream blocks for the second week, indicating less sunshine ("weinig").At the bottom of the card, a legend identifies the red dots as Max (°C), blue dots as Min (°C), and the sunshine scale. Below the card, the weer&radar logo appears with small app store availability icons and a status date reading "Stand: 10-08-2026."

    What. A. Week!!! It started all "as usual", until that one call, Monday morning around 10:45. It set off more calls... And then stress and anxiety. And then fear and doubts... On Tuesday, I had my Trapeziectomy surgery. All went well, or so they said. Wednesday, I felt so slow and sore... I tried to make things work out, and care as best as I could for Koa. I got some very sweet help from the neighbor, who took Koa and myself for a nice, and well needed walk. On Thursday, a sweet friend came over to help me with some garden work. It had been planned before we knew about the OP, so we kept the appointment, and we'd see how far the both of us could get. The rest of the week was challenging. I struggled with pain, nausea, being so exhausted that I couldn't even fall asleep properly. I tried to keep going. I tried my best... But I feel that my best is lacking terribly, and that I am not going to be able to keep this up much longer... 😢 An image from "weer&radar" showing a 14-day weather forecast graphic for Herpen, issued on August 2, 2026.At the top, on a dark blue background, yellow and white text reads "14-daagse verwachting", "Herpen", and "02 augustus 2026".Below is a central white panel containing line graphs and symbols for a two-week period, running from Monday through Sunday for two consecutive weeks (darker grey shaded columns indicate the weekends).Temperature ForecastHigh Temperatures (Red Line): Starts hot early in the week at 33°C on Monday and 34°C on Tuesday, dropping sharply to 27°C on Wednesday, 23°C on Thursday, and 22°C on Friday.

The second week starts at 25°C on Monday, climbs to 29°C on Tuesday, 33°C on Wednesday, and 31°C on Thursday, before cooling down again to 28°C on Friday, and 24°C on both Saturday and Sunday.Low Temperatures (Blue Line): Starts at 18°C on Monday, peaking at 19°C on Tuesday and Wednesday, then dipping to 16°C on Thursday and a low of 11°C on Friday. The weekend lows sit at 13°C on Saturday and 15°C on Sunday. For the second week, night temperatures hold steady around 15°C on Monday, dip to 12°C on Tuesday, return to 15°C on Wednesday and Thursday, reach 17°C on Friday, and settle at 16°C on Saturday and 15°C on Sunday.Weather Conditions & SunshineAlong the bottom of the graph, a horizontal bar indicates sunshine levels (coded as bright yellow for "veel" / lots of sunshine, and pale yellow/beige for "weinig" / little sunshine):Tuesday (First Week): Highlighted with a green-and-black lightning bolt icon over a bright yellow tile, indicating thunderstorms.Friday (First Week): Features a blue raindrop icon over a light tile, indicating rain, accompanied by a drop in sunshine.Other Days: Display mostly bright yellow squares indicating sunny weather throughout the remainder of the 14 days, with slightly paler yellow tiles during the second weekend.FooterBelow the graph, a legend clarifies that red dots represent maximum temperature in °C, blue dots represent minimum temperature in °C, and the yellow gradient represents sunshine duration.

  22. A surprise call ☎️

    ...stressful, very painful, but... ...also very welcome... When this post goes "live", it's been about a week since the call happened. I missed it, as I was just enjoying some food, and I couldn't swallow it quick enough (and then got into a caughing fit). I saw it was a hospital, the one I was on a waiting list with for my hand surgery, so I decided to call back. I had emailed them the previous weekend, and I had asked for an injection in my hand, as the pain kept getting worse. So, I figured they maybe wanted to schedule something for that. And yes, they did want to schedule me in, but not for an injection! […]

    Well, another very mixed week has come and gone, and a new month started as well... On Monday, bestie and I did some hard work, bestie did most of it, and we got the back garden looking a whole lot better. I struggled a lot with loads of things, which I realized were all symptoms of the peri-menopause... All the things I have been struggling with for years, which I thought I could handle, are all so much worse now... And, I am finding it very hard to deal with... The loss of motivation, feeling terribly exhausted all the time, and not being able to enjoy things I usually love. I am not feeling any satisfaction when I get things done. It's all just so bläh and dead... So yeah, a very mixed week... I managed to get some chores done. I managed to get a wee bit of exercise in. But still, I felt so tired all the time, and it's not a good feeling to be dealing with, day in, day out...

    A very mixed week, with some good enough days, but also some days where I really struggled to get through them. I managed to get some chores done. I even got a bit of exercizing in. I had some fun with young Master Koa. I had a few laughs with the Shaun the Sheep movies. The weather wasn't too hot, so that was nice. Although there were quite a few buzzing terrorists 🦟, which was very annoying. But... The new electronic swatter did help me to take some revenge on a few of them, frying them with a bang (and a smell, ugh). I watched all the Ice Age movies, while dealing with my body that wasn't sure if it was warm or cold, and with a stomach that was upset for reasons unknown... As mentioned, it was a very mixed week, and there were some goods and bads... A 14-day weather forecast graphic from "weer&radar" for the town of Herpen, starting from July 19, 2026. The image has a dark blue header and footer with a white background for the main graph.The graph uses a red line with dots to show the daily maximum temperatures, and a blue line with dots for the minimum temperatures (both in Celsius). At the bottom of the graph, there is a color-coded bar indicating the expected amount of sunshine—ranging from beige for "weinig" (little) to bright yellow for "veel" (a lot)—along with blue raindrop icons for days with expected precipitation.Overall, the chart shows a steady warming trend, moving from the low 20s in the first week to the high 20s by the end of the second week.

    A bit of a mixed week, weather wise, emotion wise, sleep wise... On Monday, a new coach came, as mine was on vacation. I was a bit nervous, but she was really nice, and I enjoyed my time with her. We even came up with a plan for the next week, so fingers crossed that this will work out well enough. Tuesday, mum came to watch Koa, so I could go to physio, without worrying about Koa. I know I will need to practice with him to be on his own more, but if I know I will be gone a bit longer, especially when the weather will be very hot, I feel better knowing he's not on his own too much. Wednesday was a harder day, as it was Arwen's second heavenly birthday... I tried to get through the day, and it wasn't too easy. Thursday I tried to find a better combination between relaxing and being active. Friday was not too bad, so that was a plus.Saturday was a very mixed day, because I dealt with an autustic meltdown, and I hated it so much... It wore me out a lot, and Koa and I had a long night, which was very welcome. Sunday, we went on an impromptu visit to the Herperduin, a first time for Koa. It was a bit more than he was "allowed" to do, but we had a break at the waterside at the benches, and when we got home, we had a very good rest... I don't know if Koa will ever love the water as much as Arwen and Chance did, but I will keep taking him to it, to see how he grows... A weather forecast graphic from "weer & radar" showing a 14-day outlook ("14-daagse verwachting") for Herpen, dated July 13, 2026.The image has a dark blue background with white and yellow text.

  27. Up, down, happy, sad, grateful, exhausted…

    Life can take you into so many different directions. Some, you have some power over, by making certain choices, when the options present themselves. You never really know what your choice will lead up to, and there's always a "risk" involved, where things can turn out wrong, or not as you expected or hoped for. I know I need a routine. And that's been disturbed since Koa joined my journey through life. I knew this would mean a big disruption in my life, but I think I underestimated it a "wee bit". And, of course, life kssps going on, throwing all it can at you. When dealing with AuDHD, and with chronic illness, life is already challenging on a day to day basis. But now... I feel I am dealing with too much at a time, and I find it hard to keep going. But I want to do my best for Koa, to provide for him and his needs, and that means that I can't give up. No matter how much I am struggling. 😔 […]

  28. Another “good” month of PMDD. What is it like?

    PMDD is different every time it comes around. Also, different for everyone. That last sentence was important to state. I had a very tough three months these passed months. Both with the mental and physical aspects. This month is different. I feel healthier. I did go to the river, twice already. Which could be playing a factor. Along with the few walks. Yet, I did feel inflamed all over, even in my brain. I also felt overwhelmed, overstimulated, had some anxiety, felt very low, etc. Not as […]
