#Journal of a slightly tired Dutch Pixy 
(Friday, 02/05/2025).
I woke up around 21 for the loo. And then when my alarm told me that it was time to get up. I got Arwen her meds, got to to scale, dressed. I let Arwen out for her thing, and then I took my own meds. Waited for a while and then I was able to give Arwen her food. I got my bad and headed to the gym. It was still rather warm outside.
I checked my socials and then I got to the treadmill for a while. After that, I went to the seated bike for a bit. I relaxed in the massage chair after that. Switched my shoes and headed back to Arwen again.
Washed up, changed clothes, had brekky. The weather was still warmer, but it was dry, so that was a plus. We walked the short round together. When we got back, I changed clothes and headed to the hometrainer for a short ride. It was too warm upstairs to get a decent ride in. 
I relaxed a bit on the couch with Arwen after that. Made some food. And the I got the things to the car, and I walked Arwen, before we headed to Nijmegen. It was weird to do this on a Friday.
I helped mum with her compression stockings, which is always hard work. Then we headed to Germany. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get all we wanted. Some shelves were rather empty! They had been closed one day, but the way the shelves looked... Wow! We got what we could and headed to Nijmegen. Got what we needed from the Appie. Then I helped mum with the groceries. When she had her coffee, we went to walk the dogs.
Arwen even wanted to play a little with her ball! Wow... 
We had a nice walk. We didn't visit the garden center, as we were both rather tired... And mum had gotten me some cloth for Arwen's corner, so I'll try it with that first. Although I still need to ask a neighbor for some help, as I don't know how to get the corner area "less bumpy". So hopefully he will be able to help me with that...
I cleaned up the groceries and fed Arwen and myself. Then we relaxed a bit, till Arwen really wanted some walkies. We walked a shorter bit as it was rather warm again. Poor B was struggling due to the heat as well...
We relaxed on the couch, and I dozed off a bit. Then I let Arwen out for a last wee and we got ready for bed.
It didn't take too long to fall aslep. I woke around 19 for the loo. And then I woke again around 22:30. I was too warm to fall asleep again, so I just got up and started my day/night.

#Journal of a slightly sore Dutch Pixy (Tuesday, 29/04/2025).
I woke before the alarm. But considering I had slept a while on the couch before I went to bed, I think I did get a decent amount of sleep. Still, my body felt sore and tired. But yeah, let's just start the day! I got to the scale, gave Arwen her meds, got dressed, and let Arwen out to do her things. Then I got my own meds. And we waited for a while before I could give her her meal. Then, I got my bag and headed to Skoosh.
I remembered to drive the different route to the gym, as one road I usually take is closed for construction. I checked my social media and then I got to the seated bike. Rode for a while. Then the message chair for ten minutes. Switched shoes and got ready to head back home again.
Washed up, changed clothes, had brekky. Arwen and I had a nice SniffiVerse™ walkies. She wanted the short route tonight, so we did just that. I'll follow her and she will show me what she'll feel like walking...
When we got back, I worked on my blog a bit. Then I changed clothes and I rode the home trainer for 40 minutes. I changed again, and relaxed on the couch with Arwen. Then we walked a short walk. I fixed some food. Got my bag and headed to the supermarket after that.
When I got back, I was able to relax a wee bit more and then we went out for walkies again. Arwen was fortunate, as she saw the neighbor again. We relaxed a bit after that. Then I fixed her food, we had a short walk, and I had to go to Cuijk.
PT was good, but damn, my muscles were so sore... And my back made all these cracking sounds. 
Ouchie... But it did feel good afterwards! A quick stop at Lidl and then I headed back home.
I had a wee bit of time to relax and then the neighbor texted me that B wanted walkies. So we got ready to head out. It was a warmer afternoon already. So we took it easy and we had a nice walk.
I relaxed a bit until it was time to let Arwen out again. She just wanted a quick wee. I got everything ready for bed time. And before I knew it, I dozed off.
First a short but stupid nightmare. Then, after a loo visit, I fell asleep again and I slept till half an hour before the alarm. Ready to start a new day/night!
. She wanted the short route tonight. As I'm feeling a tad tired, I didn't mind too much. But it does mean that, after some rest, I'll need to do some exercises later... 29/04/2025
#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.

#Journal of a slightly tired Dutch Pixy
I woke up early. I had about 90 more minutes till the alarm, so I decided to give sleep another go. It resulted in me having a horrible nightmare! Woke up again half an hour later and I was just feeling so tired! That extra sleep didn't work out for me...
Got up, gave Arwen her meds, and then I got dressed. Took Arwen out for a wee, and then we waited a bit before I could give Arwen her meal. When she was happily eating, I got my bag and headed to the gym.
I caught up with social media and when my protein shake had been enjoyed, and the meds had kicked in, I got to the seated bike. After about half an hour, my leg was giving up on me. So I got to the massage chair and enjoyed a massage there. Then I got ready to head back home again.
Washed up, had brekky, and then got ready to walk with Arwen. I do miss walking the longer walkies with her, but I am grateful for the shorter ones that were still able to do. We had a nice walk together.
When we got back, I got my laptop. Worked on my blog, and I copied files to the USB I got. First I copied the last ones from the phone, and then I backed up some bits from the laptop. Then, I got the USB in the TV. I selected the Arwen videos and watched some. But, in some of the videos, I'm asking Arwen if she wants walkies. So, she woke up and was all confused! Poor gall!
I watched some telly after that. I had to prepare some veggies for the pasta sauce I wanted to make. But... I realized we didn't have the minced meat... 
And I also saw that mum had the wrong muesli for me... So that meant that I had to visit the supermarket that morning...
Had a short walk with Arwen after that, and then I did the laundry. When I hung the laundry, it was time to walk to the supermarket. I got what I needed. When I got back, Arwen and I got ready to head to the vet. She got her injection again, and then we headed back home again...
I was hoping to relax a bit, but Arwen wanted to go out for walkies. So we were a bit early, and she missed the neighbor, which bummed her out a bit...
I relaxed a bit with the telly. When a sweet friend texted me that they were ready to game, I got the purple beast started and we joined a chat. We both played our own games, but we had a nice chat as we were playing.
Then it was time to walk Arwen again... The weather was dry but a tad chilly. We had a good walk with N&B. Some relaxing after that. Then a last short walk and... Time for bed!
It didn't take too long to fall asleep. I slept almost 6 hours in one go. But when I woke, I just got up. Didn't want to repeat what happened the last time I tried to sleep some more... So my day/night was beginning...

#Journal of a slightly exhausted Dutch Pixy 
(Thursday, 24/04/2025).
I woke before the alarm went off. Gave Arwen her meds, got to the scale, got dressed... The usual routine, as I do. There was a notification that my USB had been delivered. But, when I checked the mailbox, it was all empty... That brought some stress! 
Arwen had to wait a bit before I could get her a meal. And then, when she was happily eating, I got my bag and headed to Skoosh.
I enjoyed my protein shake while I caught up with the social media bits. Then I got to the seated bike and tried to ride a bit. I didn't manage the half hour as my leg was being annoying. I got to the massage chair, and then I got ready to head back home again.
Washed up and had brekky. There was rain in the forecast, so I brought the umbrella and Arwen and I went on our way. While I miss the longer walks, I'm grateful that we're still able to do these. As I'm fully aware that, when the time comes, even these walks will need to be shortened... When we were on the way back, it started raining. The start of a long and very wet day... 
When we got back, I changed clothes and I headed upstairs. Rode the bike for half an hour, and I managed to get some exercises in. I folded the washed curtains and took them downstairs with me.
I switched clothes and then relaxed on the couch with Arwen. When it was time, I got the things to Skoosh. Arwen and I had a short walk, and we headed to Nijmegen. I filled up Skoosh, and then we got to my parent's place. I helped mum with her compression stockings, I checked them this time. When mum was ready, we took Smurf and headed to Germany.
It was raining a lot there too, bummer... But we got most of the groceries, so that's a plus. We headed to Nijmegen, where we got some more of our groceries. I had brought the recycling 
away in Germany, and I cashed the digital saving coupons, so I had some money for Arwen's shot tomorrow. Every bit helps!
When mum was done with the groceries, she was worn out. So, it was up to me to take the dogs to the small woods. And, with the umbrella in hand, they made it quite a challenge for me. Every time I had the leashes untangled, they just had to sniff on that other side! Bloody idiots! It's hard enough without an umbrella, but the weather didn't allow me to put it down. It was just very, very, wet...
When we got back, I tried to dry the dogs. Then I got my things and Arwen and I headed to Herpen again. Of course, there was no available good parking in front of my house. It was always a mess, but with the construction 
, it's even messier and all! Ugh... And it's said to last the rest of the year... So yeah, we've been dealing with muddy mess for a loooong time before it should finally get better...
I unpacked most of the groceries and fixed some food for Arwen and myself. And... The USB stick that was said to be delivered the previous day, it finally arrived! Why they scanned it a day before the actual delivery? I have no idea! But it was bloody annoying and frustrating, as I believed it was lost...
When I finally sat down for a bit, I started to transfer the files from my phone to the USB. It's a lot to copy, but getting to it bit by bit... It's good to have a backup!
Then it was time to walk with N&B. We had a nice walk, but it was a wet one... When we got back, I prepared things for bedtime. Then, a last walk with Arwen. I saw a parking in front of my house become available, so I quickly got Skoosh and got her in that spot. Arwen was so baffled, as she'd been sniffing, and she saw me driving off without her... Poor gall! I told her to just sniff and if be back in a jiffy, but if course that didn't make sense to her. We finished the walk, and I got ready to head to bed...
I had a decent sleep, till I woke up for the loo. I saw I still had over an hour, so I got back to sleep. And got rewarded with an bad half-hour nightmare! 
Ugh... So when I woke again, I didn't really feel any better at all...
So yeah, I got up and started my day/night...
