All over the place – AuDHD edition
As I start writing this, Koa has been living with me for 24 days now. It will be a little more, once this post goes "live". Lately, I have been sharing posts about the joys and struggles of living with a young puppy. The love I feel growing, being proud of this little dude with every new thing he is slowly learning, feeling my brain rest when I see him peacefully sleeping. But also, the worries, the broken sleep, the doubts... Knowing that I know, but being worried that I can't do what I should be doing... The constant fear, being fed by my cPTSD, it's keeping my brain at a certain awareness level, it seems. If course, with a puppy in the house, it' good to have the spider-senses working, as they can be very mischievous, and get themselves in trouble in the blink of an eye. But when you keep doubting yourself, when you are "expecting" results, or when you're just eager to get to the point of those results, and you're pushing too hard... Well, as I have recently shared here, and as I have shared in the past, just with other topics making me feel that way... I feel my brain is all over the place at the moment. And I struggle to deal with that at times. […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2026/05/27/all-over-the-place-audhd-edition/

Emotions and worries
As I start writing this, Koa has been with me for about 3½ weeks. We had some ups and downs, but all in all, I think we're not doing too bad. I knew this would take time, and while my AuDHD is eager for "getting back to normal", I know that Koa and I are still working on settling to what our "normal" should look like. My brain is still used to the way things were when Arwen was still in my life. It sometimes forgets that it took time for Arwen and me to settle as well. And, of course, that Arwen was a whole different dog than Koa is... Somehow, I "want" it all to work out well, and all that, and I know I need to allow it the time it needs, which I am certainly inclined to give. But that nagging feeling of my autistic side, longing for some more relaxed and settled routines... Well, it can be a big pain in the big behind 😔.

I always do that… 😇
My house isn't a dirty place. I know it's not as sparkling clean as some houses I know. It has its dust, its sand, its "messy" areas. But, it's not that bad that you stick to the ground, or that you leave traces in the dust when you move around. 😉I know that, when my depression and/or pain levels are worse, that my house will become "less clean" than I usually keep it. And, there are times, when my body feels OK enough, and my ADHD gets tickled, and I will try to do all the cleaning that I missed out on in one go! (Which obviously never works out too well... 🫣). But... When I know that I am getting visitors, expecially when they are people that are important to me, then I will go into a "crazy mode", starting the week before the planned visit. Even if I hurt, even if I am dead tired, I will do all that I can to clean the house as best as is possible for me. I don't always succeed to my own expectations, I feel bad when I notice that I missed things, or things that I had done already have become dirty again... And I always apologize to my visitors when I feel I should have cleaned better... 😞 […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2026/04/15/i-always-do-that-%f0%9f%98%87/

The new uncomfortable normality
No Worries? Australian attitudes to national security, risk and resilience (report): National security starts at the front door – not at the territorial borders."For most Australians, the 18-month research project revealed, national security starts at their front door – not at the territorial borders of the island continent. It showed they are worried the country is not prepared for the demands of a volatile 21st century in a polluted information ecosystem, where the rules-based international order is crumbling, economic precarity has become uncomfortably normal and trust is more fragile." >>

Feeling restless this evening.
Fretting. Stressed.
There's not one specific thing causing my anxiety.
Best I can figure: it's my entire collection of worries that have been hiding below the surface.The bubbles are gradually rising up to meet me, with each bubble breaching the surface, greeting me with, "Boo!"

A quotation from George Carlin
And now, ladies and gentlemen, that we’ve enjoyed some good times this evening, and enjoyed some laughter together, I feel it is my obligation to remind you of some of the negative, depressing, dangerous, life-threatening things that life is really all about; things you have not been thinking about tonight, but which will be waiting for you as soon as you leave the theater or as soon as you turn off your television sets.

You were so loved 🐾
Not just by me… But by so many. Even by some that “just” knew you from the stories, snaps and vids that I shared of you online. I asked for financial help, several times, when your health was declining, and people always helped us so much. People saw all the good in you. They saw your gentle smile, your silly happy tail, and all the love in your eyes. And they wanted you to feel good, feel loved. And now, people helped me/us one last time… To pay all the bills and to get you home again.
Because, unfortunately, 11 days before your 12th birthday, your health declined rapidly… And we had to say goodbye to each other for the final time. You had given all you had, you held on longer than you should have, because you knew I needed you. But I made you a promise when you came into my life: I’d never let you suffer for my own “personal gain” (to have you in my life a little longer). When I saw the pain in your eyes, we rushed to the vet… And now, I’ve been alone for several days, missing you like hell…

On our way…
I write this in advance of posting it. So I may need to edit this post, should the worst happen (either with my surgery or with Arwen). But, as I write this, I try to be positive and think that it all will go well. 🍀
As I write this, it’s early Wednesday night, two days before the surgery should take place. When this gets shared, it’s a while since the surgery, and hopefully I’ve been recovering nicely so far. 😇

Being prepared
Anyone that has been following this blog for a while know, will know that I am someone who plans ahead. Far, far, ahead, if I get the chance… To everyone that just stumbled upon this post, and has no clue what I am writing about, well… I am AuDHD, and I need to plan ahead, as much as I am able to do. Time schedules, getting all the necessary information, looking up what I need to do and how to do it, finding the best routes, anything and everything needs to be arranged.
I am the one that will start packing bags for a (short) trip two weeks in advance. Heck, when I learned in December 2024 that I was going to move in 2024, the first thing I started doing was… Packing what I could, sorting what I could, making lists and all that… I like to be prepared, I like to know what to expect, and I just need to feel like I can be in control of things. Even if it’s just a little bit, it helps me to relax better.

Not scared, but anxious…
While I am writing this, I am getting closer to the date of the surgery. When this post will go live, I will have had the surgery. Maybe, I will update it a bit before it goes online, maybe I will be too tired, and I will leave it as it is now, as I am writing this… If that makes sense… 🤔
I start writing this on what used to be my grandma’s birthdat, June 2nd. The surgery is scheduled on June 13th, so just 11 more days. Slowly, I am trying to get everything sorted to be ready in time for the op. But, getting everything sorted, realizing that the date is getting closer, it is messing with my mind some…

When..? 😢
Time is slowly, or quickly, depending how how you look at it, running out. Arwen is getting older. She's struggling more with her health. Some moments, she acts like all is OK and she's having the time of her life. Other moments, she seems in distress, and I slip her some extra painkillers to manage it. I know she's getting closer to the point of saying goodbye. Some of you may remember that I feared losing her a few months ago, when I even had a GoFundMe for the upcoming cremation costs. But... She got some new meds and she's still with me... For now... […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2025/06/09/when-%f0%9f%98%a2/

On and on and on… ♾️
This is definitely not the first time I write a blog post with a topic title like this. And yeah, maybe that is a part of the "infinity" in it all. But, with all the recent and not so recent events happening, my brain is doing that "overthinking" thing again. And often, one of the things that helps me with that, is when I whip out my phone, or my tablet with the BT keyboard, or even my new PC these days... I need to write about it... I don't know if you have been following my blog and all the stuff I've been sharing. Or if you just "stumbled" upon it because of... Well , many reasons can be put here... So I will leave that open, and I just want to say "Welcome 🌸 " and thank you for checking out my babbling corner of the interwebs. I will try not to repeat too much of what I've been sharing recently, and when I do, I will try to link the original blog post to it, for those that may be interested. 😇 […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2025/06/07/on-and-on-and-on-%e2%99%be%ef%b8%8f/

Quite a scare!
During the nightly SniffiVerse™ walkies on Wednesday, 28/05/2025, Arwen had a moment where she lost control of her paws. She got all wobbly, and unstable. I sat down next to her, and I held her close to me, while she was recovering... And then, she acted like nothing had happened at all. But, it gave me quite a scare. We got back, safe and sound, and after a bit, I sat down and I wrote this long Toot on Mastodon. As I felt that it was a powerful Toot, I decided to use the long text for this blog post. It's a long post, and I talk about health and death, sadness, scares, worries and fears. So, if you click the "read more" bit, you will see these things discussed. It's nothing too bad, but it can be a trigger for those of you who have dealt with pets, with the journey slowly coming to an end, and all the sadness that comes with it... […] -
Needing some distraction
As I've been sharing here the last few weeks, I've had some pretty busy times. Some were good things, some were horrible, some were fun, while others were sad. I know, things happen, that's all part of the journey of life. But, some times, it just feels like it keeps on coming, without any time to catch a breath, to recover, to recharge the batteries. Learning that I need yet another hip surgery. Mum needing a surgery. Arwen being so poorly that I thought I was going to lose her sooner rather than later. Arwen getting new meds and slowly recovering. My parents being involved with a terrible accident. All the things that followed that. And me, still needing to prepare for my upcoming surgery, where I first had "plenty of time" and then I felt I was running out, because things kept coming "in between the planning". As the Beatles sang many years ago... 🎶 "Obla-di, obla-da, life goes on...". 🎶 […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2025/05/31/needing-some-distraction/

I can do it!
It just takes more time... ...and I sometimes need help... ...but that's OK! I've blogged before about feeling like I'm stuck with this adulting thing. That it sometimes just doesn't feel worth it. Or, I do it, and a short time later, it just looks like I've not done it at all... 😔 And I know it's not just me struggling with these things. But, especially when it comes to cleaning, it's harder. And since I've been living in a construction area, and they're still not done... There's just so much more sand and dust! 🫣 And, that just makes it harder, and the work feels less rewarding... […] -
The worst b-day…ever! 😭
I never put too much meaning into my birthday. I was born on Mother's Day, which means that often, I am still getting older on or around that day. Which means, that many people can't make it to your day when you celebate, because of mothers, grandmothers, kids, other women and all that... As a kid, especially an undiagnosed autistic one, I could never understand how a commercial day would top the anniversary of making it around the sun another time... You can honor your mum every day. But you can't really celebrate your birthday any day. Your birthday is something real, in my mind, where Mother's Day is just something "made up" to sell things and all that. But yeah...This year, my mum and dad were coming to visit me for a bit. And all went well, until I got the call... […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2025/05/16/the-worst-b-day-ever-%f0%9f%98%ad/
