Makertube.net had some issues yesterday with the uploading of vids...
So I guess that's why it never tooted when I uploaded my latest vid of Arwen at the Herperduin.
This is the link:

A, slightly wobbly, edited video of a chocolate brown Labrador with greying snout, walking through the woods, and playing at the waterside.
The video is slightly wobbly, as there was another dog barking loud, off leash (which was allowed). But with Arwen's health, I tried to keep an eye out, just in case...

I is back again! sorry I've been so quiet yesterday... After we've gone to Nijmegen, I've been busy with some shopping and helping mum. When we walked the dogs, we went back home and I was just so tired. So I sat in the very weedy garden and I enjoyed a bit of reading...

But... I have a shovel now, which should be a good one (it was not the cheapest one, but this one had a decent handle, so that could be easier on my hands). And I have a root cloth for the front garden. So hopefully I can finish the front garden this week, as the weather should be good for it. I may need some help from a neighbor, so when it's almost done, I'll ask them. They worked with the cloth in their back garden, so they should hopefully be able to help me with mine. 😇

I have soooo many weeds in the back garden. I'll try to get them all loose, so the sand/clay can dry a bit, and then it should be easier to clean out the roots and all that. I'm sure that my elbow will hate me! As it still hates me from the work I did several weeks ago. Yay for some extra physio before and after the upcoming surgery... 😊

Today should be another busy day. I have PT at noon, and I need some groceries. So in the morning, I guess I'll walk to the supermarket in town. And after PT, I'll visit Lidl on the way back. Then I should be OK till the Germany shopping trip on Friday. Yeah, Germany is "closed" on Thursday, due to a holiday. Well, the stores are closed. 😉 So have to remember that and not drive to mum's as I usually do on Thursday...

Hopefully I can get some work in the garden done today. The weather forecast doesn't look too bad for gardening. Although some days may become a bit warm, so then I'll need to do some work in the mornings. 😊 They say that the next few days, it will get to 22-23-25 degrees with quite some sun! So yeah...

Let's see if I can get some exercises done here. It's still a bit busy (for me) so that's a bummer... But well, let's start with the seated bike and see how my legs will do... 💪🏼

#Journal of a slightly busy Dutch Pixy (Monday, 28/04/2025).

I woke before the alarm, but a little later than "usual", so it was good to get some extra sleep in. I got to the scale, got Arwen her meds, and then dressed and got my own meds... I let Arwen out to do her things and then we waited again before she could have her meal. When she was happily eating, I put out the snacks, grabbed my bag, and headed to Skoosh.

After I'd finished my protein shake, and I had worked through the notifications, I got to the seated bike. I rode for half an hour. Then a massage in the chair before I got ready to head back home again. I saw the signs again on the way back, and was reminded that tonight, I should be taking the other route to the gym, as one of the roads would be closed due to construction...

I washed up, changed clothes, and I had my brekky. Then Arwen and I headed out for walkies. The weather was nice, as it wasn't too cold, and it was dry. Arwen wanted a longer walk again. But as she started to struggle a bit, I did cut it a bit shorter, so we did the "in-between" route.

When we got back, I got my laptop and I worked on my blog for a while. After that, I was a tad tired. I relaxed on the couch for a bit, with some telly and with Arwen at my feet. After we walked the short morning walkies, I made some food. I went upstairs after that, and I rode the home trainer for 25 minutes after that. I folded the laundry and took it back down again. When the laundry was cleaned up, I had a little time to relax. Then, I got the pasta sauce for mum in a cooler. I got the things in the car, and I walked a short walk with Arwen. We then headed to Nijmegen.

When we got there, mum and I went to the Appie and we were able to exchange the muesli for the taste that I do like. 😊 Yay! Onwards to Intratuin. There, I found a decent (I hope) shovel, and I got a weeds cloth and pins. So, hopefully, I can make some progress in the gardens now... Weather should be good for it...

We got back home, and mum asked me if I could help with a few chores. So, of course, I did those. Then, we took the dogs to the small woods for walkies. They both had a good time, and Arwen even wanted to play with the ball a little...

When we got back, I got the things and put them in Skoosh. Arwen and I headed back home again. Fortunately, there was a decent parking spot free for us. I got the things out of Skoosh, and fixed Arwen some food. I was very tired, so I just got out the garden chair and my eReader. I changed clothes, as the sun was rather warm, and I enjoyed some reading...

Then, we got ready for some walkies with N&B. We had a nice walk, and when we got back, I prepared everything for bedtime. I was so tired though, that when I was watching some telly before letting Arwen out, I dozed off for a while. When I woke, Arwen didn't want walkies, she just wanted a quick wee. Which was good for me. 😊 We got ready for bed time, and it didn't take long before I dozed off again.

I woke once for the loo, after a weird dream, and then I slept till about 40 minutes to the alarm. I got up and started my day/night.

I know not everyone likes AI art. But I tried to make an album cover for my Beast In Black mix on Spotify. And I really liked how it turned out. I edited it a bit, and the text I added myself too...

#AI #AIart #AICoverArt #BeastInBlack

The AI elaborate Alt text was too big for the alt box, so I'll add it here:
An imposing armored figure stands at the center of a futuristic cityscape, exuding an aura of power and mystery. The figure is clad in sleek, black armor with intricate detailing, and holds a glowing red sword that pulses with energy. The stance is strong and authoritative, suggesting battle readiness. Beside the figure, a fearsome black robotic beast crouches, its piercing red eyes glowing ominously in the darkness. The beast's metallic frame is adorned with sharp, angular components, giving it a menacing and formidable appearance.

The background showcases a dramatic and stormy atmosphere, with lightning crackling across the sky, illuminating the towering neon-lit buildings that stretch into the distance. The architecture blends sci-fi and cyberpunk elements, with vibrant lights casting eerie reflections on the wet ground. The environment appears chaotic, as if charged with intense energy, adding to the sense of impending conflict or adventure.

At the bottom of the image, the bold text "Beast In Black" is prominently displayed in a futuristic font, glowing with a striking purple hue. The text integrates seamlessly with the overall aesthetic, reinforcing the powerful and dramatic theme of the artwork.

SniffiVerse™ walkies Toot

Ello frens and fans of Arwen

Guess who's out and about again? Yesssss it's us! It's not too cold, with about 11°C, and it's dry.

I only rode the bike some at the gym. One of the alarm boxes had an error, and every few seconds, the thing gave an annoying beep. And even with the NC headphones, and music on, the beep was very annoying... So when I couldn't filter it out anymore, I just had to round it up. I did want to get a massage, so yeah...

Just had my brekky and I'm now hoping that Arwen will sniff just a wee bit faster. With the construction mess, there's plenty of sniffs. But some places, I'd rather not have her sniff there...

Even though I had some more sleep, with the extra hour or so that I had in the couch before going to bed, I still feel a tad tired. Ah well... Gotta keep going I guess... Hopefully I can get some work done in the garden this morning. If my hands and elbow allow, I hope to clear out some mess from the front garden. It would be good if I could get that done so the weed cloth can go on it... Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 that I'll actually be able to do some of that work... 🍀

I need to finish my journal blog, but that's just adding some images and then it should be done. 😊

Let's see if I can write a bit for my blog now, as Arwen is getting all the sniffs... Catch you all later folks!

#Journal of a slightly tired Dutch Pixy 🧚🏼‍♀️ (Tuesday, 18/02/2025).

TL;DR usual start of the day, felt very tired before I had to go to the Physio, got my groceries, and it was an OK enough day in the end. Just a cold and tired one.

Woke before the alarm. Had a bit of a restless night, so didn't feel too fresh and recharged when I got up. The scale was an asshat to me, which of course was my own fault. Took the meds, cared for Arwen, and then headed to the gym.

Only rode the seated bike today, as I was feeling a bit bläh and not interested in doing other things. Heck, it was even hard to motivate myself to ride the bike. After the massage in the chair, I got ready to head back home again. It was a colder night, so that meant colder SniffiVerse™ walkies as well.

I washed up, had brekky, and dressed myself and Arwen warm for the walk. I tried to write on Masto and Friendica when my hands allowed me, but I also needed my gloves a bit due to the cold weather.

When we got back, I was tired and I still had to finish the journal blog post, so I stayed on the couch and I got my laptop. Worked on the blog and got the post finished. Fixed some food, and then Arwen and I went out for walkies again. Bestie didn't call me today, so it was just me and Arwen with some music.

When we got back, I got myself to ride the hometrainer for half an hour. Back downstairs, I was so tired, so I just lay on the couch and watched some telly. I was afraid I'd fall asleep and mess up my time schedule for my physio layer today. But I stayed awake and after a bit, I felt a wee bit better.

We headed out for walkies again, and Arwen was fortunate, as the neighbor and her dog were our as well. When we got back, I fixed some food. I relaxed a bit, and then let Arwen out for a wee. I fixed her food, and headed to Cuijk.

PT went well, and due to the carnaval, we had to change up a few upcoming appointments. But that was easily done. On the way back, I got my stuff from Lidl. I cleaned up the groceries and then I had about ten minutes before Arwen was ready for walkies with the neighbor again.

We had a good walk, the sun was nice but the wind was cold. I watched some telly as we got back, while I worked on getting meds out of blisters and into a bottle instead. Those blisters are not hand friendly, so I always empty several boxes of the meds into a pill bottle instead.

Then it was time to get ready for bed. I struggled to fall asleep as my feet didn't want to get warm. Then I woke up for the loo, all sweaty. Ugh, thanks hormones... I woke a few times during the night for the loo, so when I finally got up, I still felt a bit tired. But hey ho, let's start the third Monday! 😉

I is back! I didn't have the best day yesterday. I was tired a lot, which made it very challenging to get any exercises done. And it made it harder to eat properly... But I tried...

Today I started tired again, after a rather restless night. But this time, I tried to start better. I rode the seated bike for 42 minutes. And then I got my gloves and headed to the Smith Machine. 💪🏼

Started with two sets of 10 reps with 2*6,25+11,3 kg. Then I changed up the weights, and I did two sets with 8 reps with 2*7,5+11,3 kg. So that was a slight improvement. 😊 I wonder if I will feel the muscles later today...

I don't have any appointments today so I can use some more time to get some exercises in, if my body and brain allow. I am hoping for both a ride on the hometrainer and a little row after that... Let's see how it will go... 😊

The scale wasn't too kind today, which was my fault of course. So I'll the to do my best some more to be mindful of my meals and exercises. I don't have any candy or chips in the house and I'm not planning to buy any. So hopefully that should help.

Hope you're all doing well with reaching your goals 💪🏼!

Catch you all later, as my hands are freezing now 😉

I know I'm a very big weirdo with having accounts all over the FediVerse! I'm sure that some folks are getting nuts from all. The Pixy accounts following them! but! I hope they/you can see it as a compliment, as it means I value your Toots/posts/vids/snaps enough to never wanna miss out on them!

I started at the Fedi with Mastodon during the big Nov '22 migration. Not sure of which instance would serve be best, I found a few. Yeah, I started with several accounts, and this is all to do with how my brain works (or tries to make sense of it all I guess ).

I have different interests. And I *know* I could Toot them all from just one account! I **know**. But! My brain is a wee bit OCD at times, and it has different "needs" for different goals...

In the end, most of my normal Masto accounts ended on Beige, as this is just one awesome place to be! great admin, loads of emojis and a super high character limit! Just the way I like it... 😊

I joined Pixelfed for my snaps, PeerTube for my vids, I occasionally use Loops, but it doesn't federate yet...

And then I learned about Sharkey and gave that a try. It wasn't bad, but it didn't feel like it was "me", if that makes sense... And then wanted to try Friendica, but the instance I joined keeps going offline during the night, when I mostly use it. So... I joined another node of Friendica, as I did want to try the Fedi service out. So that made things mo e confusing, as that meant I added two more accounts....

It's even getting a bit much for my brain! I'd love to keep using the first Friendica node, as that felt better for me. But if it's offline so often... 😔

So I'm sorry for all the new follows of those accounts! And don't feel obligated to follow me back everywhere! I would like the connection, but I don't want to overwhelm anyone... Not everyone has a silly brain like mine...

Thanks for your patience with me and all my silly accounts everywhere!

Catch you all later, either here or there haha .
