I read the post about Trom Articles project and it gave me so much hope. I am also hanging on the Trom floaty and now I feel like I took a huge breath of air after being with my head underwater for so long. And I didnt even read the actual article yet. I am so excited to read it and understand this world/society better. I wish I had your determination and curiosity! Thanks to you I also get to learn and keep my head above the water. So, Thank You!

For the past 2 weeks, at times I wake up, and I have a split second hope that the past days were a bad dream. And then I realize. And it sucks.

To be dumped in a long term relationship without warning, is already something that is so hard to get over. For some is impossible. But if you were already struggling mentally and physically, such event can really fuck you up. On top of this, if you also have to deal with family problems of similar kind, is just maybe too much.

I just wanted to vent.

But at times I feel like suffocating. The weather for sure does not help.

Will do my best to try and keep myself going, to release the TROM Articles project today or tomorrow, to get ready for the eclipse. At times I feel very much ok, at times (triggered by other events too) I fall deep into a black hole and I feel like there is no way out.

I can't sleep that much. That also influences my mood ofc.

Anyway. The past year has been the worst year in my life. Period.

I hope time is a clever motherfucker and can fix these, or some of these things. I am here buddy, waiting for you to do the magic ;).

Almost no abdominal and back pain for the past 2-3 days. WOW. This is amazing, idk why no pain suddenly, but to not feel pain for the first time in 2 months, and overall in a year, is something of a life changing event. I hope it lasts...I hope. I have more appointments with specialists, but now I feel ok.

This week for sure I will release our new TROM Articles, alongside perhaps with a new video series for TROM. Eventually I want TROMcast back, and get active, get used to live on your my again. So far so good. I am making progress it seems.

Ride With Less will need a revamp a bit since I now travel alone. But well, I was doing the videos alone for the past many months anyway.

But fuck me Spain has become an oven. In the motorhome 43 degrees today. Luckily I stay at my sister's place in the daytime. And I go back at 9-10PM to the motorhome, fireup the AC, and am able to sleep.

Will make more videos for Ride With Less too.

Lots of things to do. I will be active again. Already am.

Yah mysterious pain. But is not all gone. At times I still have some. But I feel so much better than before. Maybe we will figure out the source the next months.

My sister does not have AC unfortunately. Fortunately the building she lives in and how the apartment is placed, it does not get super hot inside. In theory from tomorrow on the weather should move from over 34 or so a day, to just under 30. So maybe it will get a bit better....

I suspect my inguinal pain is still an undetected inguinal hernia. Had ultrasound and MRI, checked by a hernia surgeon 2 times, also urologist. Had this pain for more than a year. And for the past 2 months I have it daily. If feels like you got punched in the balls kinda. Daily. Hard for me to sit down and write or do any work. I take 1 or 2 painkillers a day.

Recently red a reddit post from someone in a similar situation. Had so many tests, no hernia detected for more than a year. Finally got some new tests and new doctors and detected a hernia in the inguinal canal. Exactly where I also have pain.

Point is, even small non life threatening issues can really mess you up. From sport to sex, from sitting to walking, this pain can totally destroy you.

Am relatively ok but I do not know anymore how it is to not feel pain. Must be amazing! Cannot wait for that day!

Anyway, trying my best to release TROM Articles. Waiting for the painkiller to take effect.

I may delay the release of TROM Articles. Let's see. Today I felt very down and suffocating. At times I am ok, at times I feel like absolute shit. I guess it is normal when your best friend and partner of 7 years cheats on your and then splits ways with you, entirely unexpected, after you had a very good relationship for the past months and helped her so much. Also in a moment when I was already in a lot of physical and mental pain.

I guess is normal and time I hope can ease things out.

I tried today to check the article one more time and release and I could not.

This TROM Articles was about to me my "comeback" mentally, and this situation destroyed that for me. Could not have come at a worse time.

Anyway, I have to try and keep myself focused on something, to be busy, in order to not have this terrible mental state.

I don't wish to anyone to be stabbed like I was. Terrible what humans can do in relationships when they fail to communicate their frustrations. I thought our relationship was an example of how it works if you communicate, and I was totally wrong.

Ok. At least I have to vent.

I made a blog post about my girlfriend of 7 years cheating on me and dumping me. I went through hell the first few days, feeling life suffocating. So it helped me to write that. Since then I shared some, I'd say, private stuff there. And I did not feel comfortable doing that. I made the post private. I know others may have learned from it a thing or two in regards to relationships, but I just dont feel like leaving that post public now. I feel better now and I want to leave it as private.

Helped me to write it when it happened since I was shocked at what she told me and I was emotionally destroyed.

I will keep that post as a "note" for myself.

Anyway, just in case anyone is wondering what happened to it.

Hi all! I'd like to give a shout-out to @yunohost linking their 2026 founding campaign!

Apart from the very basics needs they have, like paying for the infrastructure and maintaining the codebase, they want to work on improving the backup and restore feature and a self-registration feature! That's not all they're dreaming, though. You can find more at yunohost.org/donate.html

You won't regret it :)

I feel better now. Managed to get some rest too. If your problems are internal could be a lot more difficult than external ones. Like dealing with emotions, thoughts, depression, etc.. It is a mountain you have to climb on your own. Of course, helped by friends, but at the end of the day it depends on you.

Trying to do some tests for the eclipse. This is the Sun 1h ago:I cannot frame it all with that camera and the smallest 25mm lens with my Celestron 130SLT telescope. So I will test with my phone too, if it is no big difference I'll send the camera back.

The Moon and Venus a few hours ago, with my phone:

You can see how the entire Moon is visible actually but a slice of it is directly lit by the Sun so it makes it appear in that particular way to our naked eyes. Super cool.

I hitchhiked from the info center at Þingvellir National Park to Geyser and the waterfall Gullfoss. Gullfoss runs down two faults through an incredible canyon, and geyser is the one that gave the name "geyser" to all geysers ☺️ (though its neighbor Strokkur is the one erupting more often these days). Both are very touristy but incredible sights; definitely worth seeing. I didn't wait long to catch a lift and I met some interesting people on my way, including a British geologist who gave me some fascinating insight. I'll explain it all later in my peertube videos 😉

I arrived at Þingvellir National Park after 6pm. I set up my tent at the campsite (since wild camping is illegal in the national parks of Iceland), cooked, relaxed, then went for a walk on the main touristy paths of Thingvellir at around 10pm. It was still light out, yet there was nobody around. Amazing. I stood there, in the fault between North America and Eurasia, and admired the striking walls around me. Those walls move away from each other by about 2cm each year; this is an active rift. These walls are part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Iceland is one of few places where you can see the ridge above the surface of the ocean. And what an incredible sight it is, especially when you have it all to yourself.

Today, north of Spain, coastline. Inside the motorhome 38.5C. A record!

The AC would not make a difference to be honest. Unless you were to stay closed in the top bed and let it run nonstop there. Luckily I went to my sister's apartment for the day.

Else I usually use the AC like this, but today it would not cope:

To blow cold air towards me and my laptop, or we both could die.

Insane temperatures these days!
