Kat stands in front of a window overlooking Seattle Center and the waterfront. It's a sunny day and the sky is blue with sparse clouds. They are posed looking at the camera while one hand is framed to be holding the space needle between thumb and forefinger. The wrist of that hand is decorated with silvery, metallic and golden rainbow wrist ornaments. They are wearing a black crop with teal green suspenders stretched gently over the breasts. Their hair is tucked behind the ear to look at you with and they are wearing a black face mask. Color coordination is important. One of the eldritch tentacles from their tattoo winds down the corner of one breast near the edge of the frame. The look in their eyes is ambiguous, but gleams with a degree of amusement.

Wow that was some sleep! I fell asleep and didn't wake up until the alarm woke me. Which was nice. But, it also meant that I'd been in one position the whole night, so my back was very stiff... Ah well..
Best get up and start my day/night.
Arwen got her meds. I got to the scale. Then, I got dressed and I took Arwen out for her things. I took my meds and then I slowly prepared Arwen's food. When she was happily eating, I got my bag and headed to Skoosh.
I checked my socials while I enjoyed my protein shake. Then, I got to the seated bike. My back wasn't too happy with this, and soon, my leg also gave me some issues. Ugh, guess that's why I do need that surgery. 😔 After a massage in the chair, I got ready to head back home again.
Washed up, had brekky, and then Arwen and I had our SniffiVerse™ walkies. On the way home, I had seen something lying in the street that could be dangerous. So, I made sure Arwen and I walked that way, so I could clear the street. Then, we followed our usual walkies.
We got back and I headed upstairs to work a bit on my blog. Then back down, where I relaxed with the telly. I got some bedding ready for the bed that I'm getting in the living room in Thursday.
Arwen wanted another walkies, so we headed out again. Then I tried to dust a bit. But, I felt a bit bläh, so we just relaxed on the couch till it was time to get ready to head to Nijmegen.
Mum and I took Skoosh to Germany. We got the groceries we needed and then headed to some shops in Nijmegen. I helped mum with the groceries and when she was ready, we walked with the dogs.
When we got back, mum and I scheduled the appointment for Arwen for her shots and all, as that needed to happen after my surgery and I can't drive then. After that, Arwen and I headed back home.
I fixed Arwen's food and cleaned up most of the groceries. Then I got some food myself. I was just munching as my phone went. It was the hospital with the time update. Originally, they told me to come in at 8:30. But I said it would be hard to be sober for so long. Then she told me they had a place to come in at 7 and get to the OR around 8. That sounded a lot better. So yay for that.
N&B could not join us for walkies today. Which was a bit of a shame. So we had a short walk and then prepared for bedtime.
Arwen did her thing and then I went to bed. I fell asleep quickly, but then woke up for the loo an hour later. I fell asleep again and had the weirdest dreams. When I woke up again, it was 40 minutes before the alarm. But I was awake, so I started the "last" nightly routine for a while...

#Journal of a slightly stressing Dutch Pixy :pixy_party: (Tuesday, 10/06/2025).
I woke up early from a weird dream. I was wide awake then, so I just got up and started my day/night. Gave Arwen her meds, I got to the scale, got dressed, I took Arwen outside. The usual bits... 😊 Then I took my own meds and I prepped Arwen's food. When she was happily eating, I got my bag and headed to Skoosh.
I got to the gym, checked my socials while I enjoyed the protein shake, and while I waited for the meds to kick in. Then, I got to the cross-trainer to see if I could make it to my steps goal. I'll definitely need to lower that after the surgery and then there will still be many days where I won't make it, I guess... It will mess with me but I also know there is a good reason. But still... My brain is weird that way... After the cross-trainer I got to the seated bike for a bit. Then, my leg started to annoy me, so it was time to hit the massage chair begore I got ready to head back home.
Washed up, had brekky, and then Arwen and I headed out for walkies. Arwen wanted the short round, so we walked that one. Fortunately, it was dry. 😊 When we got back, we relaxed a bit on the couch together. Then I went upstairs to work on my blog a bit.
Back down, it was more couch time for me. At one point, my brain was annoying me too much, and I had to do some dusting... Silly brain haha! Then, more relaxing while I wrote a bit for my blog as well.
Arwen wanted a walkies and after that, I made some food. Of course, Arwen wanted walkies again after that. Then, we relaxed for a bit. During the 9 o'clock walkies, we saw N&B, so Arwen was all excited. Then, I gave her her food and I got my bag to head to Cuijk for physio.
I had a good PT session. I quickly went back, let Arwen out for a wee, and then we got in Skoosh to head to Nijmegen. When we got there... It turned out that I had been rushing for nothing. Which annoyed me a lot, as I could have done some things for me, instead of hurrying for dad (for nothing, ugh).
The hairdresser came a bit earlier, so that was a plus. After that, Arwen and I headed back home again. We went for walkies with N&B. Then I helped out another neighbor, before I got ready to head to bed. I was rather tired.
I fell asleep rather quickly and then... I didn't wake up until my alarm warned me! I had slept the whole time. Which felt good, but I was also a bit stiff and groggy. I got up, gave Arwen her meds, and then started my routine.

I woke up before the alarm. So I got up, gave Arwen her meds, and then I got dressed. I took Arwen out to do her things, and then it was time for my meds. I fixed Arwen's meal, and put the snacks in the usual places. Grabbed my bag and headed to the gym.
It was a wet night and there didn't seem an end in sight. I got to the gym and enjoyed my protein shake while catching up with my notifications. Then, I got to the seated bike for a ride. I didn't feel too good though, and my leg was bugging me after the half hour was done. I went to the massage chair and had my ten minutes in it. Then I got ready to head back home again. Still, plenty of rain was falling...
I got back and washed up and switched clothes. Made my brekky and then I got ready to walk with Arwen. She didn't want a long walk, so a short one was walked. I didn't mind, I was just glad that she could tell me what she wanted and I could do that for her. I want her to enjoy the time together, so she should be in charge when it comes to choosing walkies. 😊
We got back home and we relaxed on the couch a bit. I headed upstairs to work on my blog for a while. I got back down, and relaxed a bit. Arwen wanted some walkies. Then. After which, I walked on the treadmill for half an hour. Then we relaxed again, until Arwen wanted another walkies. Just short ones. But I guess she was hoping to see her friend...
We watched some telly together. Had some food. And then the usual walkies, before I had to head to the next town to pick up my little parcel. The weather was raining on and off, and when I drove, the rain got mad! Wow!
I waited for the shop to open, got my parcel, and quickly headed back. I watched some telly then, until my friend texted me that she was ready for some gaming. Yay!
We had a nice chat while we were playing. Then, I got an early text from N that B wanted walkies. So we got ready to head out. And the weather did it's thing. Sun one moment, pouring rain the next... Ugh...
We relaxed a bit until it was time for the last outing. We got to bed and it didn't take long before I fell asleep. I woke up once but I just fell asleep again. Until I woke up again half an hour later, because I heard Arwen making noises. I got up and cared for her. And then I started my day/night.

I woke up for the loo. Went back to sleep until my alarm told me that it was time to get up. I gave Arwen her meds, got to the scale, and I got dressed. We went out so Arwen could do her business. Then, it was time for me to take my meds and prepare my things for the gum. I fixed Arwen's meal, put out the snacks, and then I headed to the gym.
There were some sweet messages from a super sweet friend, so I spent some time answering them. I checked my social media. And then I got to the treadmill and I walked 1,5km. A half hour ride on the seated bike after that, followed by a massage in the chair. 😊 Then I got ready to head back home again.
I washed up, changed clothes, and had brekky. After that, Arwen and I got ready to head out for SniffiVerse™ walkies. Arwen was feeling well, I guess, as she wanted the longer walk tonight. I enjoyed every moment of it. 💜
When we got back, we relaxed on the couch a bit. Then, I headed upstairs and I worked on my blog for a while. When I got back down, I fixed some food. Then, it was time to prepare everything for the trip to Nijmegen. Got it all in Skoosh, and Arwen and I enjoyed a walk together. Then we headed to my parent's house.
When mum was ready, we headed to Kleve for the groceries. We got most that we needed, and then we headed back to Nijmegen. There we visited Appie, before heading back home. I helped mum with the groceries. When she had her coffee, we took the dogs out for a walk to the small woods. They had a nice time... 😊 When we got back, I gathered my things and Arwen and I headed back home.
The way through Nijmegen went so smooth! I only had 1 red light! Where I usually have waaaaay more than that! We were in our way back with a good time. So, of course, I got into a traffic jam on the highway and it was so slow... Ugh...
I made food for Arwen. And I unpacked the groceries. Then some food for me. I called with PayPal again, as the issue I had a short while ago... Was happening again! 😱 Ugh... That's so annoying! There's money in the account but I can't get to it now... They will contact me soon, so yeah, let's hope they'll do that and fix it for me!
Then it was time for walkies with N&B, so we got together and had a nice walk and chat. I cared for Arwen's paws when we got back, and then we relaxed a bit until it was time to get ready for bed.
Arwen did her things and before I knew it, I was snoozing... I woke up around 21:15 for the loo, and then again when my alarm told me it was time. I had some very weird and stupid dreams, so even though I did get some sleep, I didn't feel app that rested when I got up...

#Journal of a slightly tired Dutch Pixy :pixy_party: (Sunday, 01/06/2025).
Even though I'd gone to bed latee, my brain was like "this is the usual time you wake up, so let's do that today as well". I went to the loo, gave Arwen her meds, got to the scale, and then got dressed. I let Arwen out to do her things. There were so many flashes in the sky, and an occasional rumble in the distance. It was dry, but very warm and humid, so icky! There was definitely some rain in the air...
Arwen did her things and then we went back. I got my meds, and then prepared Arwen's food. Got the snacks out and then grabbed my bag and headed to Skoosh. There were so many flashes in the sky as we rode to the gym. It was like being at a concert or something, it was wild! And I was glad with the aircon in Skoosh, as it was so sticky icky otherwise.
I got to the gym and started with answering some texts from a very sweet friend. I enjoyed my protein shake and then I got to the seated bike. I rode for a while. But my body (and leg) were not happy with it. The bad weather coming, together with the humidity and air pressure, made my body rather sore. 😔 I enjoyed the massage chair and then I got ready to head back again.
On the way back, it started to rain a bit. Not too hard, yet, but they were big, loud, drops. When I got home, it started to rain a bit harder. I had wanted to wait for it to pass, but when I checked the weather app, I decided to grab the umbrella from Skoosh and run to the front door. Even with the umbrella, and it being a very short walk, my shoes and pants were rather wet! I just closed the door and then hail started falling! Big ones, to me at least, between 0,5-1 cm wide. As it was 19°C outside, the hail did melt quick, but there was so much of it. The sound on the roof and windows was earsmashing loud! I even had to close the windows, as some of the heavy rain was trying to get inside!
I washed up and had brekky. Then, when we wanted to go, it was dry again. The streets were like small rivers, but the skies were lighter again. Arwen wanted a beet short round, guess she was struggling with the weather as well.
When we got back, I relaxed on the couch a bit. Then I headed upstairs and worked on my blog a bit. Back down, Arwen and I relaxed some more. My ADHD was going nuts and I needed an extra pill to try and calm my mind a bit. My body was so tired but my brain was so jumpy... It kept pushing me to do some exercises. So, in the end, I walked the treadmill for half an hour.
I relaxed a bit after that and then Arwen wanted walkies. After walkies, I made us some food. After that, Arwen wanted out again, so that's what we did. When we got back, I tried to get some of the smaller weeds out of the garden. But the ground was just too soggy to actually do any good...
I let the dishwasher run after the food. And I saw that two of Arwen's blankets needed a wash. So when we got back, I loaded them into the washing machine for a short program. I hung the laundry and then I realxed a bit. I found out that my new phone cover did come with a holster, but I had to order that extra (for free). So that's what I did... 😊
Arwen wanted her 9 o'clock walkies again. When we were almost back, N&B came around the corner. So, guess who wanted another round? 😂
I swept the floors and watched some telly. When a sweet friend came online, we played some Minecraft together.
N texted earlier for walkies. As Arwen missed her 11 o'clock wee, she didn't mind heading out a bit earlier. We had a nice walk together.
When we got back we relaxed some until it was time for bed. It didn't take too long for me to doze off. I woke up once for the loo around 21:30 and then when the alarm woke me up again. Ready to start a new day/night.

#Journal of a slightly surprised Dutch Pixy :pixy_party: (Friday, 30/05/2025).
I woke up about an hour to the alarm. I was wide awake, so I decided to just get up and start my day. I gave Arwen her meds, went to the scale, got dressed, and took Arwen out to do her things. Then I took my own meds and started preparing Arwen's meal. She was happily eating when I put down the snacks and grabbed my bag. Onwards to the gym.
I enjoyed my protein shake and social media. Then I got to the seated bike and I rode for 35 minutes. A massage after that and then I headed home.
When I was close to home, I saw a group of young lads, dressed in dark, hanging out. I knew there was a camp going on at the soccer place, so I figured they were having a nightly happening. I slowed down a bit. And then, one of them turned around and... Jumped in front of Skoosh. Ugh! That gave me quite a scare, as he was very close to her and if I would hit him, they'd definitely blame me... Even though he was intoxicated (beer bottle in hand!) and acting weird...
So I got home, still a bit startled, and I did my usual things. After brekky, it was time for walkies. We had to get by those guys, and... Arwen had a great time! She got all the cuddles! 😂 And indeed, they'd been drinking "some" beers 😂... I let Arwen choose the way, and when we got back, I was so tired.
So first, I relaxed with Arwen on the couch. Then, she went to the bed in the bedroom. When I heard her come out, she was stumbling a bit, and I rushed to her. Apparently, she was having another small seizure. It lasted less than two minutes. And when she came out, she was so happily wagging her tail and giving me kisses... 🥲 I have no idea how much these little incidents hurt her, but she always comes out being so happy. Which makes it even harder to deal with...
When she was happily sleeping, I went upstairs and worked a bit on my blog. Not too long, as I wanted to head down to Arwen again. When I got down, Arwen wanted walkies, so we headed out again. She had a nice walk and when we got back, I decided to make some food. We enjoyed the food and relaxed a bit more together.
Around 8:40 the hospital called me. We had a twenty minutes chat, which didn't really feel very useful to me. Most that was discussed, I already discussed with her colleague on Wednesday. 🤔 She had no additional info for me, so yeah...
Arwen and I had a short walk after that, and then we headed to Skoosh. We got to Nijmegen without issues. Mum and I went to the KPN store. I got help very quickly and good. And before I knew it, all was arranged and... He told me I would be getting my phone ASAP. I was surprised, as my new sub wouldn't start till August. But yeah, that did sound good. 😊 And..
Samsung had a special deal... And I was eligible to get a new watch as well! That's just fab! So cool!
Mum and I headed back. We walked with the dogs. And then I helped dad with one little chore. It was done rather quickly, after which Arwen and I headed back home again.
I made Arwen some food. At one point, I went to the loo. When I got back, there were three missed calls from an unknown number. No voicemail... How long was I in there?? After that, I relaxed on the couch till it was time to get ready for walkies with N&B. We had a nice walk together. Some relaxing until it was time to prepare for bed.
I was just in bed when mum texted me. Apparently the calls had been the hospital. They had a cancelation on Monday and they had wanted to schedule me in. But they called mum to tell that and to tell her the spot had already been taken now. Euh, why call mum then? 🤔 But yeah just the idea that I'd be having the surgery on Monday, it did freak me out. So maybe it's a good thing I was on the loo at that time...
It didn't take too long to fall asleep after that. I woke up once around 21:30, and aftet a loo visit, I went back to bed and I slept till my alarm woke me up, ready to start the new day/night.

#Journal of a slightly busy Dutch Pixy :pixy_party: (Wednesday, 28/05/2025).
I woke up once for the loo, around 21:30. Then I was able to sleep some more, till just before the alarm. Arwen and I had a good night. 😊 I got up, gave Arwen her meds, and then got to the scale. It wasn't too bad! Yay. I got dressed and took Arwen out to do her things. After some time, I fixed Arwen's meal. And then I put out the snacks and got to Skoosh to head to the gym.
I caught up with social media before I hit the treadmill. I wanted to get my steps in for that day, as I was so close. Then, a short ride on the seated bike. Followed by 5 minutes on the cross-trainer. I didn't get my massage as one of the chairs was taken... And I don't like sitting next to someone else. Yeah, I'm weird. 😂
I got back home. Washed up, changed, and had brekky. After that, Arwen and I headed out for walkies. And things seemed OK, until she started to get wobbly and sat down, all dazed. I wrote a long Toot about it here: https://beige.party/@PixysJourney/114582818304792877 and it will be a blog post soon too. But yeah, it gave me quite a scare! But... After a few minutes, she just got up again and went back to the "business as usual". Like nothing had just happened... Which was a relief, but it also made me worry a lot...
We got back home without any other incidents. I went to the PC and worked on my blog a bit. I headed back down and joined Arwen on the couch for a while. Then, I decided to try out the treadmill again, and I walked it for half an hour. All went well, so that was a big plus! 😁
Some more relaxing with some food. Then it was time to get ready head to Nijmegen. I got my things in Skoosh. Arwen and I walked a short walk, and then we headed to my parent's place. On the way there, I filled up Skoosh her tank, and then we got to mum.
Bestie called me while mum was getting ready. Then, we headed to Germany for the groceries. We got most of what we needed, which was good. 😊 Back in Nijmegen, I visited Kruidvat and then we went to Appie.
I cleaned up most of the groceries for mum. Mum had a sore foot, as she'd sprained it a bit. So I took the dogs to the small woods. They had a good time, but Arwen was struggling a bit on the way back. Poor gall... Then, I had to await the video call with the hospital.
When they finally called, the app was driving me nuts. The lady asked if all was OK, and I mentioned that I just hate video calls. She told me she could just call me. Well, when I asked this when they planned it, the gall said it wasn't possible, but now it was? 🤔 Strange, but I'll take it.
I did my best with the phone call to answer all the questions. About half an hour later, Arwen and I were able to head to Skoosh and get back home.
I unpacked most of the groceries and gave Arwen her meal. A wee bit of relaxing until it was time to walk with N&B. We had a nice walk together, and the weather wasn't too bad.
Some more relaxing until it was time to get ready for bed. I was rather tired, so it didn't take too long for me to fall asleep.
I woke up once for the loo, again around 21:30, and then I slept almost another hour. Got Arwen her meds, used the scale and got dressed. And I was ready to start my day/night.

I woke up, again, around 21 for the loo. Checked with Arwen, who didn't want to be disturbed. 😂 So headed back to bed and slept till the alarm! I gave Arwen her pill, got to the scale, and got dressed. We went outside so Arwen could do her things. I took my meds and then I slowly prepped Arwen's food. I gave her the food and snacks and then I headed to Skoosh.
We got to the gym, and I checked my social media bits, before I got to the treadmill. I was very close with my daily steps goal, so I wanted to hit that in time. Then, a short ride on the seated bike. I finished with another short walk on the treadmill. A massage in the chair and then I got ready to head back home again.
I washed up and had brekky. Then Arwen and I went for SniffiVerse™ walkies. She wanted the shorter walk, so we did just that. When we got back, I headed upstairs and worked on my blog a bit.
Back down, I tried to relax a wee bit. Watching some telly with Arwen on the couch. Arwen wanted walkies, so we headed out again. I figured I should try the treadmill and see how it would hold up after the adjustments I made yesterday. While I was walking on it, I made two more adjustments. And it seemed to be going well, yay for that!
I got the hoover after that and did the ground floors. As we'd been having some rain, it also meant we had more sand in the house. Then I fixed some food and Arwen and I tried to relax.
My brain was so busy, that I even took extra meds. But it kept being very ADHD, so I decided that today wasn't the best day to go to the tire shop. Even though I know what I want and can afford, I also know that ADHD me is very influencible for things that "are even better", so also more expensive. And I didn't want to risk that. Plus there is no rush, and when I checked my calendar, there's so much in there till the surgery, maybe it's best to get the tires done after that? 🤔
Bestie called for a wee bit when she was on her way to work. And then, I got ready to walk with Arwen. After walkies, I fed her and we realized a bit. A short walk before I had to go to Cuijk.
As I wasn't going to the store, I was a bit early. Which turned out to be a good thing, as the person with that time slot wasn't showing up, or they were running very late and they didn't contact the PT, so he called me in instead!
Which meant I got my cracking and all that earlier, which was painful but it also gave me some relief... Then, I headed to Lidl, before heading back home again.
I had some extra time to relax, which was very nice indeed. Then, Arwen wanted out, so I texted N and asked if B was ready for the walkies. He was, so we headed out. We had all sorts of weather. Some hard rain, some warm sun, some strong winds... But the dogs didn't seem to mind at all.
When we got back, I got everything ready for bed time. Some relaxing before the last wee, and then, snooze time. It didn't take too long to fall asleep.
I woke up once around 21:30. Arwen was still snoring loudly. Went to the loo, and slept till 22:35. Then I got up and I started my day/night.

#Journal of a slightly bläh Dutch Pixy :pixy_party: (Monday, 26/05/2025).
I woke up around 21, again, for the loo. Arwen didn't want to go out, so I headed back to bed again and I was able to sleep for another hour. Then, I got up and I started my day. Arwen got her meds, I used the scale and got dresses, then I took Arwen out. She did her things and all. I took my meds and prepared Arwen's food. Then, I forgot to put out the snacks! 🫣 As I got ready to head to Skoosh. I still need to get adjusted to having Skoosh behind the house.
I drove to the gym and enjoyed my protein shake. Answered the social media bits and then I saw I was very close to my steps goal. So, I quickly headed to the treadmill to get the steps before the day was done. Then, a ride on the seated bike. I followed it with another walk on the treadmill, as I couldn't use mine at home yet. After a massage in the chair, I got ready to head back home again.
I washed up, had brekky, and Arwen and I got ready for SniffiVerse™ walkies. Arwen indicated she wanted the "old short round", so we walked that one. It was dry and not too cold, so we had a nice walk together.
When we got back, I headed upstairs. I worked on my blog for a bit and then I folded the laundry and took it downstairs with me. After I cleaned up the clothes, I relaxed a bit on the couch. I wrote a bit for my blog and watched some telly. Still watching Yellowjackets. It's still a weird show, and still... I can't stop watching it! 😂
I walked Arwen again. I rode the home trainer for a bit. And I was making some food when bestie called. We had a nice chat as she was driving to work. Then, I relaxed a bit...
Around 9, Arwen and I went for some walkies. After that I called the company where I bought the treadmill. All went well. They send me an email, and I replied with all the info. And then... They gave me a repair costs estimate, as this wasn't any warranty issue. €150!!! Well, my heart dropped, as I definitely don't have that kind of money lying around. Bugger! I checked YouTube again and then, I found a video that actually showed the steps and what should happen. So... I got my courage together and I tried it. And... The tread started shifting to the middle again! 😲 That made me so happy! As I had a terrible headache, I didn't fine-tune it just yet. But now, I was a wee bit more confident that I'd be able to do this... 😊
I walked Arwen again and I relaxed on the couch some more. I may have dozed a wee bit as well... Then, Arwen told me that it was time for walkies. So I texted N and we got ready.
We had a nice walk together. The neighborhood is a mess, so much construction going on...
We relaxed some more and then I was starting to doze off. So I let Arwen out for her things and we got ready to sleep.
It didn't take too long to fall asleep. I woke up, again around 21, for the loo. Arwen was snoring, so I went back to bed to do the same... And then the alarm woke me up and I was ready to start a new day/night.

I woke up around 21 for the loo. I asked Arwen if she needed to go. She didn't, so I went back to bed and snoozed till the alarm went off. I gave Arwen her meds, used the scale, got dressed, and then I took Arwen out to do her things. After a while, I gave her food and then I got my bag and headed to Skoosh.
On the way to the gym, there was a police car in a big rush, going into the same direction as I was going. Later, I saw them on a side street, hanging up a tape to keep people out. That's never a good thing... I headed onwards.
Enjoyed my protein shake and caught up with social media. Then I got to the treadmill and walked 1km, as I needed just a few more steps to reach my goal. After the walk, I rode the seated bike for half an hour. A massage in the chair after that, and then I switched my shoes and got ready to head home. The area where the police had been at was all taped off, and a police SUV was blocking the street. Well, this could not be good at all...
I washed up, changed clothes, and got my brekky. Arwen and I went for walkies. There was a very light rain, a bit too little for an umbrella to really help, but too much to ignore it (especially with headphones on). Arwen wanted a short walk, so that's what we did.
When we got back, I headed upstairs and worked on my blog a bit. Then I headed back down, and I relaxed on the couch for a bit. My brain was busy again, so I tried to write a little for my blog...
Arwen wanted walkies so we headed out. Then I fixed some food. The dishwasher worked it magic after that. I walked the treadmill for half an hour after that. I noticed that I needed to adjust the tread on it. So I looked up the guide of how to do it. I followed it, and the YouTube video, and of course I messed up and made things worse... 😔 So now I will need to call the store (yikes) and hope they can help me out by phone. Otherwise they need to send someone, and that means costs and a waiting time... Fingers crossed 🤞🏻...
I was bummed about messing it up... And then I remembered that I had to send a follow-up message to my GP for the mattress. And I still need to call the company to have my order changed to the other mattress (still need to do that), and then hope that my GP can help me out in getting it...
I watched some telly, and relaxed a bit. Then, walkies with Arwen again. And, more rain... Yay for nature! But bummer for me. 😂
After some food, a sweet friend texted me and we got online for some Minecraft together. I did my best to get things sorted out. She gathered all sorts of things, as she had an idea, and I have no clue, but I'm sure she'll make something fabulous 😂.
Then, N texted that B wanted out a little earlier. So... We got ready to head out! It was a dry walk, sunny and warm even!
We relaxed a bit after the walk with some telly, and then we got ready for bed time.
It didn't take too long to doze off. I woke up around 21 (again) for the loo. Arwen didn't need to go, so I went back to bed and woke up again an hour later after a silly dream.

#Journal of a hopeful Dutch Pixy :pixy_party: (Friday, 23/05/2025).
Another night on the couch. But... We didn't need to go out a lot. And, Arwen seemed a bit calmer. So those things were a good start of the day. 😊 I got up, gave Arwen her meds, and got dressed. We went outside and... Arwen didn't splutter as much. Cleaning her bum was a lot easier, yay for that. I took my own meds, cleaned up the couch, and then I gave Arwen some rice with chicken. She didn't want out after the meal, so I got my bag and headed to Skoosh.
At the gym, I enjoyed my protein shake while catching up with my socials. Then I got to the seated bike for a ride. A massage in the chair after that, and then I quickly went back home again, as I didn't know what to expect.
Arwen was sleeping peacefully and all was well. She didn't need to go out, so I washed up, dressed, and had my brekky. We went out for SniffiVerse™ walkies. It started dry, but we had some drizzle along the way. Arwen didn't seem to mind. She got her sniffs in, and when we got back, her bum was almost clean. 😊
I went upstairs to work on my blog a bit. But I was so tired. So I headed back down to the couch for a while. Watched some telly with Arwen at my feet. After a while, I noticed that the parking's behind the houses had become available to use. So, I got Skoosh and got her behind the house. It was really weird not to see her from the front windows. 😊 I took out my green bin while I was at it. Some more relaxing happened.
Arwen wanted walkies, so we headed out. There was a slight drizzle again. It is very much needed for nature, but drizzle can be annoying when outside. Ah well... Arwen did her things. Then, since all seemed to be going better, I tried to clean the hallway mats a bit better and then I got them back in the hallway. With wet sand, it's good to have the mats in place again.
I got the mop and quickly tried to do the floors a bit. It was very much needed. But I couldn't do it properly, as my back was killing me. Still, all was cleaner when I was done than it was before I started 😇.
I went upstairs to ride the bike a bit. Even managed a few exercises. Got back down, and got ready to take Arwen to the vet. A short walk with her first, and then she was a bit confused that we had to go behind the house for Skoosh... The bins had been emptied, so I took mine back as well.
The visit to the vet went well. She got her shot and, after I explained about the poop disaster, she got some sort of pro-biotica paste for three days. This should help her tummy get a bit better again.
When we got back, I fixed her some rice and chicken again and I added the paste. She ate it all without any issues. Then, we headed out for walkies. On the way back, we met up with N&B, so we had to join them, of course... 😇
After that, it was time to relax a bit... 😊 I watched some telly and then a friend came online and we played some Minecraft together. Arwen didn't need any loo breaks until early afternoon. She was really doing better.
Then, N texted that B wanted out, so we got ready and we had our walkies together. The weather was a bit indecisive, as it wad cool and grey one minute, and warm and sunny the next...
We relaxed a bit after that, and then we got ready for bedtime. And, I mean, a real bed this time... I let Arwen out and then I got to bed. It didn't take too long to fall asleep.
I woke up about 5 hours later for the loo. All was well and... Arwen didn't wsnt to go out! She was too comfortable sleeping I guess! I feel you, Arwen! 🤗 I went back to bed until the alarm woke me up, and all went well... Yay!

#Journal of a slightly exhausted Dutch Pixy :pixy_party: (Thursday, 22/05/2025).
What a night! I was on the couch and then I woke up, tears on my cheeks, as my back was giving out. I let Arwen out, and she didn't want to do anything... I had to go to my bed for a while. After half an hour I heard Arwen come into the room. I got my pants and for ready. But... She went to her bed there, lay in it, and started snoozing. With the sound of her sleeping, I dozed off and got into a very deep sleep. And then, I woke up and... Arwen was on the couch, all sad... And my hallway? Well, it had a new color and smell... I rushed out with Arwen, as she needed to do more. And then, the cleaning began...
I gave Arwen her meds before I got the cleaning bits. I used paper towels for the worst. Then the mop for the rest. The two mats went into the back garden. I tried to clean the hallway best I could. The plaids on the couch and in the crate also needed a wash. But I'd do that after the gym. Otherwise I'd clean them and come back from the gym, and maybe need to clean the new ones as well. Done have that many plaids. And don't have such a big washing machine...
Arwen got some food and I got ready to head to the gym. I asked if she needed to go out. But she went to the couch to snooze. So I got my bag and headed to Skoosh. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 that all would go well. I felt so guilty for not being there for her when she had needed me. And I felt guilty for feeling happy that I had a few decent hours of sleep. 😔
I caught up with my socials while I enjoyed my protein shake. Then, I only rode the seated bike. I did get a massage in the chair, as my back was so sore... Then, I quickly headed back home.
The house was as clean as I left it. I let Arwen out, and then I washed up myself a bit. I got to cleaning up the couch and crate. Taking plaids off, cleaning Arwen's pillow, even her Knorrig was shitty... I broke my own rule and... I let the washing machine run during the night. I never want to do that, but the stuff needed to be washed...
Got new plaids on the couch. Then I made my brekky. After that, Arwen and I went out for walkies
Arwen got all the sniffs and such, she even got loose again, as if been keeping her on leash and it hadn't made any difference. 😔
When we got back, I went upstairs to work on my blog a bit. Then, back down, and the washing machine was almost done. I got my rack from upstairs, and I set it up outside. I hung everything out and then I retreated to the couch for some relaxing.
After a while, Arwen wanted out again, so we went out. I had some food and then we got ready to head to Nijmegen. Another walk before we left.
I helped mum with her compression stockings. Today, she was going to watch Arwen, and I would be going to Germany to get the groceries. Mum gave me things of her list, and I noted it all on my phone. But then mum gave me her phone, so that I could use her coupons and such.
I got the C-HR and I headed to Germany. When I was on my way, I remembered that I would need a parking 🅿️ card. And, this loan car had none! So, at the first gas station, I filled the car and my canteens, and then I got a parking thingie as well. A new parking card thing was cheaper than me getting a fine for not using one! Stupid that I didn't think to bring mine...
I did my best to visit all the stores and get what mum and I needed. I could not find everything mum had wanted, which was a bummer. But, I did my best, and I asked a few things, and I got most that I needed. 😊 Back to Nijmegen for the Appie. I got the rest of the things there. And I headed back home.
Mum had walked with Arwen (and Bas) and she'd been doing well. We cleaned up the groceries, while mum cooked some rice and chicken for Arwen. We went on a walkies together, and Arwen did her best. She just made it to the woods for her things and she was very glad about that. (so was I).
After walkies, I got my things, and Arwen and I headed back home again. I gave Arwen some food, I cleaned up the groceries, and then I relaxed a bit. Bestie called me, and while on the phone, I cleaned up the laundry that I'd done that night.
Then, it was time for walkies with N&B. We had a nice walk, although Arwen felt she didn't get enough treats. But then, she always feels that way! When we got back, she got some more rice and chicken.
After about an hour, we went out again. We were out for ten minutes, but Arwen was like "why are we here again?". I made up the couch and then we started our night.
I woke a few times, and I tried to take Arwen out every time. She only wanted to go out once, and the other times, she just seemed bored. The splutters were way less! And she seemed a bit calmer. So that was such an improvement.
I had a fairly decent night on the couch, Arwen even joined me for a while. 🥰 No accidents in the house. No more very smelly farts... Yay! I got up and gave Arwen ehr meds. Got to the scale, got dressed, and took Arwen out again. She did her thing and things seemed a lot better. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 that Friday will be a good day 🍀!

I woke up before the alarm went off. Gave Arwen her meds, got to the scale, and got dressed. I took Arwen out so she could do her thing. Then, we waited a bit, until I was allowed to give Arwen her meal. When she was happily eating, I put out the snacks, grabbed my bag, and headed to Skoosh.
I got to the gym, and enjoyed my protein shake, while I was checking up with social media. When I was done, I got to the seated bike for a ride. I rode for 22 minutes and then I used the cross-trainer for 8. I pushed myself to head to the strength section and I did two shoulder exercises there. A nice massage in the chair followed, and then I got ready to head back home again.
I washed up, changed clothes, and had brekky. Arwen and I got ready for walkies. Arwen wanted a shorter walk, so we did just that. When we got back, I headed upstairs and worked on my PC a bit. Of course I leaned wrong and the duct tape barely hold 😂. I do need a new chair 😂.
I headed back down and rested a bit. Made some food, before heading back upstairs again. I rode my bike for half an hour. Then I went out for walkies with Arwen. After bestie had called me, I got to the treadmill and I walked for 15 minutes. Then, another short walk with Arwen, as we got ready to head to Nijmegen.
When mum was ready, we headed to Ede to pick up the rental car, so they have some transportation for the next 5 days. We got the car, and I drove ahead so mum could follow me. I kept checking the mirror to see if she was following me, and all went well.
We got back in Nijmegen. After mum had some coffee, we went to the small woods to walk with the dogs. Arwen was very enthusiastic and wanted to play with the ball a few times. When er got back, Arwen and I headed back home again. Some food and some relaxing followed. Then, when N texted, we got ready for walkies with her and B.
We had a nice walk, which was followed by some more relaxing, till it was time to get ready for bed. Arwen did a last wee, and then we went to bed. It didn't take too long to fall asleep.
I woke up twice during the night for the loo. And then the alarm startled me... Ready to start a new day/night.

#Journal of a slightly anxious Dutch Pixy :pixy_party: (Monday, 12/05/2025).
I had a rubbish night. My muscles were sore. My heart kept racing at times for no real reason. I sweat a lot. My brain was all over the place... 😔 It wasn't the best of times... So, I got up and started my day/night. The scale wasn't the kindest. But I just didn't care. Arwen got her meds, and I got dressed. We went out for a wee, and after some time, I could feed Arwen and head to the gym.
I felt weird driving there. Although part of me welcomed the routine. It was all so surreal and weird. Worries, anxiety, stress, sadness, fear... So many emotions were cruising through me. It was hard not to cry at moments... After I enjoyed my protein shake, I got to the seated bike and I rode it for 40 minutes. Then I went to the massage chair, before heading home again.
Washing up, brekky, and then a short walk with Arwen. She was having issues with her hind leg, so we only walked a short bit. I was so tired that I actually welcomed it.
When we got back, I wanted to use the PC. And, again, I had the same internet issues that I had the previous night! Which, of course, didn't help with my mood... When I'd connected the PC to my phone, I worked on my blog a bit. I was so tired that even doing that felt like a major chore. So, when I was done, I headed downstairs and I watched some telly. I was feeling restless, so in the end, I managed to walk the treadmill for half an hour.
Around 6 I walked another short walk with Arwen. Then I relaxed on the couch with Arwen, while bestie called me while she was driving to her work. It was good to chat... After the chat, I tried to relax a bit more with some telly, until it was time to walk Arwen again.
We had a nice walk. And we saw N&B, so Arwen was all delighted. And happy with the nomnoms. When we got back, I headed back to the couch, I was so tired. I had wanted to sit in the garden, but there were trucks dumping things in he back where they're building the parking lot. So it was too noisy for me to deal with. Which meant, it was couch time for me.
I watched some telly and chatted with a few friends. Mum had a GP appointment so I had to go to Nijmegen in the afternoon. But they would call me about my internet, so I had to be home for that.
First, I fed Arwen and we walked a short bit. Then, I dozed a wee bit on the couch, until I got ready for the call. They called right in time and they sent a number and name along, which helped me a lot. It took some time due to some checks and resets. So now I'll have to wait and see what will happen the next night...
After the call, Arwen and I headed to Skoosh and we drove to my parents. When mum was ready, we headed to the GP office. It took a few minutes to find a decent parking spot. And then we went inside and waited till mum got called in.
The appointment went well. I took mum home. And then Arwen and I headed back home. A quick walk for a wee and then I headed to bed. It took a short while to fall asleep, as I had taken my meds late and my brain and body weren't all too relaxed just yet.
I woke once for the loo. And then, when my alarm told me it was time... Arwen got her meds, I went to the scale and got dressed and I started my new day/night.

#Journal of a slightly exhausted Dutch Pixy :pixy_party: (Saturday, 10/05/2025).
I woke way too early! I had a horrible nightmare, where I woke up in such a fright and with my heart pounding in my throat... I just had to get up and be gone from those thoughts! I wanted to use the scale, but it had logged me out and it didn't allow me to login again. Aaah the times where a scale didn't need a login 😂. I gave Arwen her meds, we walked a short round, and then I took my own meds. When it was time to feed Arwen, I did that... Got my bag and headed to Skoosh, as Arwen was happily eating.
I got to the gym, and of course, I was early, so it was still busier. Ugh... I spent some time on my phone while I enjoyed my protein shake. I got to the seated bike. Rode it for half an hour. Then I headed to the massage chair, as I was just too tired to do much more...
I got back home, washed up, had brekky... Then Arwen and I headed out for walkies. We had a nice walk, it wasn't too cold out, and Arwen got all the sniffs. Just a short round but that was OK with me.
When we got back home, I headed to the PC and I worked on my blog. Then, I abused some AI to help me with alt texts for some of my Zoo snaps that I'd taken yesterday. There were too many to get them all done now. But I think I made a good start. Even just sitting and clicking made m rather tired. So... I headed back down, and I relaxed on the couch.
Which lasted less than half an hour, as my brain was so active with all that I still had to do today to prep for Sunday! I did my best with some dusting. I made a start on some of the windows. Then, I walked a short walk with Arwen. I worked on some more windows, until my hands didn't approve anymore. But they needed to do more.... I got the weeds cloth and did my best to cover up Arwen's corner... Then, I got the hoover out and after that, I mopped the floor as best as I could. There was sweat 😅 everywhere! Pffff I was soooo tired...
So, of course, when I washed up, I started the laundry... And then I walked to the store to get some things for my parents visit tomorrow.
When I got back, I was dead! But, the laundry needed to be hung... After that, I had about 30 minutes to rest, and then Arwen wanted walkies again.... We saw the neighbor, so of course we had to join them. But her dog wanted a longer walk, so well, we had to go along... 😂 Arwen got to a very grey muddy puddle so... Of course she jumped in! Thanks... I just cleaned the floors... 😇
After that, I crashed on the couch with some telly. A sweet friend came online and we tried to play a game together. But... Microsoft was being an ass and it wouldn't let me login to the updated Minecraft account... It took me over 30 minutes, and also some frustrating words, until I finally logged in again! So when everything was finally set up, we had about half an hour to play together. 😂
Then I got ready for walkies with N&B. We had a nice walk. It was warm, but the wind was a wee bit chilly when we were in the shade. Some relaxing after the walk, and then a last wee for Arwen before we headed to bed.
I was dead tired! So it didn't take me too long to doze off. Woke once for the loo, and managed to sleep again till about 45 minutes to the alarm. I got up, and started my day. My last hour as 44 year old... 😂

#Journal of a slightly tired Dutch Pixy :pixy_party: (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 :pixy_party: (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!
Night time selfie of a person and a chocolate brown Labrador with greying snout. The person is wearing a black jacket, yellow safety harness, red cap, silver headphones and blue-rimmed glasses. On their cap rests a headstrap torch in off position. Their free hand is around the dog's shoulders. Both are facing the camera, although the dog is looking slightly to the right side of the snap. Her mouth is slightly open, showing off some blep. The person is smiling, enjoying their time spent together.
