#Journal of a slightly sore Dutch Pixy (Monday, 31/03/2025).

@tldr please do your thing for me!

I woke from a long sleep about an hour before the alarm was set to go off. I really had to go, and then I started my usual routine. The scale was well... As usual as well. I got dressed, took my meds, prepped Arwen's food, and I let her out for a wee. She was happily eating when I grabbed my bag and headed to Skoosh.

I caught up with the notifications and chats while I was enjoying my protein shake (and waiting for the meds to kick in). I rode the seated bike for half an hour. And then I walked the treadmill for one kilometer, not too fast, but with a slight incline. I enjoyed a ten minute massage and then I switched shoes and got ready to had home again.

A quick wash up, a change of clothes, some brekky, and then Arwen and I headed out. Arwen seemed a bit reluctant to come, she was slow and asking for many cuddles. So we took it slow and after a bit, she was happily getting all the sniffs. She also did her business a lot! I wondered what that was about. As she didn't eat anything different and we had our normal walks and all that... But I think she felt relieved and then she happily trotted along the way. I worked on my blog a bit and watched a bit of streaming series.

When we got back, I changed clothes and I rode the hometrainer for half an hour. Then my neck, hands, and leg were being asshats... I even took some extra painkillers so I could relax a bit. Arwen wanted some earlier walkies, but then was disappointed that she didn't see the neighbor. Well, can't have it all Arwen! We headed out around 7 again. And then I hoovered the downstairs area. I got my bag and headed to the supermarket after that. I had no food... And was getting a bit hungry (I thought I still had something in the fridge, but I thought wrong, whoops...).

I got my groceries and when I was back home, my bestie called. She was later today, and we had a chat while I prepped and started eating my meal. After that, I had a wee bit of relaxing and then Arwen wanted out again. While we were out, N&B came as well. We had a nice walk. And then they came along with me, as N was sweet enough to help me with the hanging of the privacy screen in the back garden. And I could have never managed this on my own. It was a challenge with the two of us. And, of course, having two curious furballs with us, that didn't help either! When I was upside down, they tried to kiss me or get between my legs! We sure had some laughs! But in the end... We got it hanging! It needs a finishing touch, but my hands were so sore, that I'll do that some other day.

The neighbor and B went home again, and I fixed Arwen some food. Then we relaxed on the couch. But not too long, as an hour later, Arwen wanted walkies again... Oof I was getting really tired...

After walkies, I had about 1:30 to relax with some telly. And then... You guessed it! Arwen and B had some nice splashes and fun, which was the most important thing.

I relaxed a bit and around 15:15, I took Arwen out for a last wee. Fortunately she did one, so we could head to bed. It took a short while to fall asleep, but...

I woke after an hour, needing a wee and being warm. I fell asleep again, only to wake an hour after that! I was so warm. I opened the window, and then I slept for about 4 hours. And then I woke again for the loo, but I wasn't to hot anymore. Then I woke again about ten minutes before the alarm. I didn't feel as tired as I expected, so I started my day/night, to try to make the best of it...

@tldr please do your thing for me!

I woke up a bit earlier, but I felt OK enough and started my routine. Scale, meds, dressing, prepping Arwen's food, letting Arwen out, feeding Arwen... And then I got my bag and headed to Skoosh. Onwards to the gym.

I caught up with some notifications and chats from sweet friends. Then I rode the seated bike for half an hour. I got to the massage chair after that. And then it was time to head back home again.

Washed up, had brekky, and then Arwen and I headed out for SniffiVerse™ walkies. We had a nice walk, but Arwen wanted the "in-between" route tonight. Guess the injection from last Friday hasn't fully kicked in yet... So we walked the shorter route. I tried to write a bit for my blog, but my hands were being awful, so in the end I just watched some steaming series while Arwen was getting in her sniffs.

We got back and I grabbed my laptop. I worked on my blog and I got a bit distracted. I remember thinking "when I'm done, I can get some exercises in". I checked one clock and it said 3:15. But... Two others said 4:15. Ah! Crap! That time changing thing was tonight! I knew it was this weekend but somehow I just didn't realize it was this night! Silly me! So yeah, that exercises bit... That was my lost hour!

I walked Arwen and I fixed some food. I knew Arwen would want to head to the Herperduin again, but due to the time change, it would be getting light "later". So when it finally started to get light, I got the towel and Arwen was all excited for walkies.

We had a nice walk at the Herperduin, and Arwen got some sniffs and many splashes! When we got back, I tried to relax a bit on the couch. Around 9:30, Arwen wanted walkies again. After that, I had some food. I cleaned up yesterday's laundry, and then I booted up the purple beast (PS5) to play some more NMS.

A sweet friend joined a little later and we had a nice chat. I was a bit grumpy as my neck was hurting, I was tired, and the damn dog at the neighbor's kept yapping so much... So I may have been a bit grumpy Whoops, sorry!

Arwen missed the 11:00 walkies as she was snoozing loudly. So around 13:40, she really wanted walkies again. I texted N and we went out for walkies together. B was being a naughty black furball and I laughed so much! Silly pupper!

I relaxed a bit on the couch, but I felt so tired, that it was hard to wait till the usual time to let Arwen out for a wee. When she was done, I headed to bed. It didn't take too long before I dozed off.

I woke up an hour before the alarm, and I was surprised that I slept this long in one go! I started the routine again, ready to start a new day/night. A new week even!

#Journal of a slightly relaxed Dutch Pixy (Saturday, 29/03/2025).

@tldr please do your thing for me.

I woke about an hour before the alarm. My body was sore from the chores of tbe previous day (washing Smurf was a hard thing now for me), and my pain meds were done working, so my body needed to get up and get moving. The scale was an asshat again which will probably be my own "fault" (but maybe I can blame the hormones? Hihi). I got dressed, cared for Arwen, and then got ready to head to the gym again.

I caught up with some texts from some very sweet friends. I caught up with some notifications. I rode the seated bike for a while, until my leg had enough again. And then, I didn't use the massage chair for ten minutes... I used it for twenty! My body was sore and no one seemed to want to use it, so I snuck in an extra ten minutes. Yay! Then I headed back to Skoosh again so I could get home.

Washed up, changed, had brekky. The weather app said there was a a 90% chance of rain, so I was a good gall and I took my umbrella. So... Of course I didn't need it... Which wasn't too bad, but it's weird. As when it said there was a 40% chance, it rained, and now it said 90% and it was dry... Weather can be weird! We had a nice walk and Arwen had many sniffs and she did her things. I worked on my blog some, so that was good too. I started a new post that I thought would be "an easy one". But then, with adding all the needed alt texts, it took me quite a while before I was content with it. It won't go online for a while yet, as I have many blogs planned ahead. But at least I have another one to share. And I think I did rather well on it.

When we got home, I switched clothes and I got to the treadmill. I walked for an hour! Just a slow 4,4kmh pace, but still... I did have a 3% incline for 55 minutes, so that wasn't too bad!

I washed up, changed again, and then had some food. Arwen and I relaxed a bit and then we headed to Skoosh. We drove to the Herperduin, and Arwen and I had a lovely walk. The weather was good enough and it wasn't too busy yet, so Arwen and I could have a relaxing walk there.

After that, we had some relaxing time. I started the laundry, and when that was done, and I had some food, I started the dishwasher. Around 9, Arwen wanted walkies again. And she was lucky as her friend was out again as well.

When we got back, I swept the floor and couch. Then I had some soup, and my friend texted me that she was getting ready too. We booted the PS5's and started up the NMS games. We played solo, but we chatted while we both started the new expedition. We played till it was time to get ready for last long walkies for me again.

The walkies were nice and the weather was a bit chilly. But when the sun was out and there wasn't too much wind, it wasn't too bad. Arwen got some splashes in again as well.

We watched some telly till it was time to get ready for bed. Arwen did a wee and then I took an extra painkiller and dived into my bed. It didn't take too long to fall asleep.

Woke once after about 4 hours for the loo. Then I woke about half an hour till the alarm, and I got up and started my day/night.
