Per l'ennesima volta negli ultimi 2 anni: maledette nuvole, maledetto inquinamento luminoso 🥲 Ma grazie a chiunque stia condividendo le sue foto dell'aurora (e alle webcam nelle Alpi)!

For the n-th time in the last 2 years: darn clouds, darn light pollution 🥲 But thanks to everyone sharing their aurora photos (and to the webcams in the Alps)!

On the flip side, “bad luck” often hides hesitation, fear of failure, or lack of groundwork. People wait too long, aim for perfection, or doubt themselves right out of opportunities. podcasts.apple.com/fi/podcast/

On Friday, when I already felt horrible due to certain things happening, this happened... 😭
My metal big jacket zipper clashed with my crystal glass pendant of Arwen and... It cracked! 😭
I cried... And I spent money I didn't have to order me a new one. With the holidays, it will probably take longer. But I'm devastated now, as this pendant meant/means so much to me... 😔

#RIPArwen #BadLuck #Broken

A close, intimate photo shows Cynni holding their cherished lasered crystal glass pendant of Arwen, suspended from a brown cord. Inside the crystal, Arwen’s gentle face and paw print are softly engraved, but thin cracks run through the glass, clearly visible and impossible to ignore. These fractures feel heartbreaking against the purpose of the pendant—a memorial meant to protect and honor the bond Cynni shared with their beloved soulmate. The way Cynni’s fingers carefully hold the pendant suggests tenderness, grief, and fear of further damage. The blurred background fades away, as if the world briefly stopped at the moment the cracks were discovered. This image captures not just a damaged object, but a moment of deep sadness and tears, as Cynni mourns harm done to a symbol of love, memory, and ongoing connection to Arwen. The pendant remains precious, even wounded, much like grief itself—still full of love despite the pain.

“Just a little bit of bad luck”

…sure, let’s start by calling it that and set the tone… 🤔

As I write this, I just had my check-up at the hospital. Two x-rays were taken and then we had a chat with the first surgeon (a different one attended me after the dislocation and she did the second surgery). He started the convo with asking how things were going now, as I started off with a little bit of bad luck…

Well, that triggered me before I had even had a chance to respond… 😣

A quotation from Stephen King

The horror writer always brings bad news: you’re going to die, he says; he’s telling you to never mind Oral Roberts and his “something good is going to happen to you,” because something bad is also going to happen to you, and it may be cancer and it may be a stroke, and it may be a car accident, but it’s going to happen. And he takes your hand and he enfolds it in his own, and he takes you into the room and he puts your hands on the shape under the sheet … and tells you to touch it here … here … and here

Stephen King (b. 1947) American author
Night Shift, Foreword (1978)

What a rotten Monday. Several people dropped the ball today & I was the schlimazel at the end of it. In addition, a friend lost a loved one. I am exhausted. I literally said "no more!" several times today. I hope tomorrow is better.
