Pixy's Journey 
@PixysJourney@beige.party#Journal of a Dutch Pixy 
(Wednesday, 19/03/2025).
@tldr 
please do your thing for me.
I woke a few times during the night for the loo, and then when my alarm told me it was time. I didn't sleep too badly, but I did still feel a bit tired. The scale was its usual self, but I'm to blame for that, I know. I took my meds and then I cared for Arwen. She was eating happily when I put out the snacks, grabbed my bag, and headed to the gym.
I enjoyed my protein shake while waiting for the meds to kick in. Checked up with my social media bits and then I got to the seated bike. I managed 35 minutes. Then I relaxed on the massage chair, before I switched shoes again and got ready to head home.
A quick wash up change of clothes, and brekky. Then Arwen and I headed out for walkies. It was dry and clear, but a wee bit chilly. We had a good "medium sized" walk, so that was nice.
When we got back, I decided to walk the treadmill for half an hour. I set it to a slower pace but I set the incline to 5%. So it was rather challenging for sure.
Switched clothes again, made some food, and then we went out for short walkies. When we got back, I changed clothes again and went to the hometrainer. Rode it on low setting for 45 minutes. Then I changed again, and I relaxed on the couch till it was time for walkies again.
Arwen was fortunate, as we saw her friend again, so she had all the extra nomnoms. 
We got back, I fixed some food, and then I turned on the purple beast (PS5). I stated the Devil in Me, trying to get some more of the solo game done. A sweet friend came online and we had a nice chat, while we both played our own games. I messed up a "keep calm" bit that I really had to pass, so I was bummed out. And I decided that I should just play something else for a bit. So I played some Lego Star Wars instead.
Then we got ready for walkies with our friends. The weather was lovely, with 16°C and sun. Arwen enjoyed some splashes, not the river ones... We had a nice walk. When we got back and I tried to dry off Arwen best I could, I prepared everything for the bed time routine. Watched some telly, and then I let Arwen out for a wee. She did her thing and then we got to bed.
It didn't take too long for me to fall asleep. Woke once for the loo, and then again, about twenty minutes before the alarm was set to go off. It was a weird dream that I woke up from... So I got up and started my day. Or well, my night.

@tldr please do your thing for me.
I slept in one go, without any weird dreams I guess, up till the end, when I woke from a silly one, and I really had to wee. 
It was 20 minutes to the alarm, so I really slept long (for me). The scale was being its usual self, and I got dressed. I took my meds, prepped Arwen's food, and let her out for a wee and all that. When she was happily eating, I put down the snacks, grabbed my bag, and I headed to the gym.
I enjoyed my protein shake while I was catching up with the notifications, and waiting for my meds to kick in. 
When all that was done, I headed to the seated bike. After 36 minutes, my leg was not cooperating anymore, and I headed to the massage chair. Then I switched shoes and headed back home.
Washing up, changing clothes, brekky... And then Arwen and I got ready for SniffiVerse™ walkies. There was no lovely moon, as it was very cloudy. It wasn't too cold, and it was dry, so it wasn't a bad night for walkies. Arwen got her sniffs in and all that. And I watched some Cold Case, as I didn't feel too inspired to write for my blog.
When we got back, I changed clothes and headed to the hometrainer. I rode for 25 minutes. Then I got my fitness mat, and I did the abs-roller thing. I got the 3kg dumbbells and I did several exercises with them. Then I headed back down.
I struggled a bit to turn on the laptop, as I was feeling rather tired. But in the end, I got it running, and I worked on my blog while my food was being prepared. I didn't get to finish it, but I did make some progress.
After food, Arwen wanted walkies. It was a bit too early, so we just did a short round. Then I relaxed with some telly, till it was time to walk the usual round. Arwen was a bit bummed that we didn't see her friends. When we got back, I got back to the couch and watched some more telly. I was feeling so tired... 
Then it was time for the usual walkies again. When we were almost back, N&B came out, so of course Arwen needed some extra steps. Ow, I meant snacks... Haha! After we got back, there was a wee bit of time. And then we headed to Nijmegen.
When mum was ready, we took the dogs to the small woods. Arwen didn't take her ball, and it seemed like she was blaming me for that! 
Thanks gall... She still got all her sniffs in, so that was good. When we got back, mum had another coffee and then we went to Lidl. We got some bits there, and headed back again.
Then we waited till the hairdresser came. After she'd sheared me, I got my groceries and then Arwen and I headed back home. When I was on the loo, and needed to take my meds, N texted me that B was all ready to go. So I hurried and we joined them. And this time, there was no "big splash" for Arwen, fortunately!
When we got back, it was time to head to bed. I got some issues with some reflux, and after that was dealt with, I finally fell asleep. I woke once, 80 minutes to the alarm, so I went to the loo and then tried to sleep some more. I got a very weird dream, so when I woke again, 40 minutes to the alarm, I just got up and started my day...

Pixy's Journey @PixysJourney@beige.party#Journal of a Dutch Pixy (Friday 14/03/2025).
@tldr please do your thing.
I woke once for the loo, and then when my alarm woke me. I'm not used to my alarm waking me, so it took me a few seconds to realize that the sound I heard was, indeed, my alarm. Haha! I got up, went to the scale, got dressed, took my meds, cared for Arwen... When she was happily eating, I got my bag and I headed to the gym.
I had some chats from some sweet friends, so I first answered them. Then I headed to the seated bike and I rode for half an hour. My leg wasn't too pleased with that. So I headed to the massage chair and then I got ready to head home again.
I was halfway home when I could not cross the railway crossing. They were doing some construction work there, which had not been announced... A man came to me, asked if I wanted to pass... Had to be careful not to say that I wanted to see the big machines at work during the night! So yeah, I told him that it had been my intention to drive home. He told me it could take to half an hour before I would be able to pass! I could walk home for there in that time. Well, I'd be getting closer to it, at least. To I had to turn around and go all the way back to Oss, and then make way to the highway. If only they would have announced it... I could have gone straight to the highway from the gym... Ugh... So... Extra time, extra km, extra benzine... But after all that, I finally got home...
I washed up, changed clothes, and had brekky. Then, Arwen and I got ready for the SniffiVerse™ walkies. The weather was a bit cold, with -1°C, but there wasn't much wind, and the moon was full 
and beautiful! We had a good walk, as Arwen wanted the "medium" one today. I worked on my blog a bit while Arwen was getting in all the sniffs.
When we got back, I changed my clothes and I got upstairs to the hometrainer. Rode it for half an hour. Then I relaxed a bit with some telly. Arwen wanted a short walk, so we headed out again. Back home, where I watched some more telly. Another walkies at the usual time, where we could see the moon slowly getting smaller. There would be a blood moon, but it would not be visible from the Netherlands, as it was happening too late...
I made some food and then got ready to walk to the supermarket. Got some food for the next day. Walked back again. Swept the floors for the gazillionth time (So. Much. Sand!), and then Arwen wanted walkies. She was very fortunate as she saw the neighbor out as well. Nomnoms! We had a good walk, or a food walk, for Arwen. Then we got back, and I got ready to game with a very sweet friend.
We started another play through of "The Devil in Me", where we hoped to keep them all alive. And we were trying to get some other trophies along the way as well. I between gaming, I fixed food for Arwen and me, and I quickly let her out for a wee (she was not impressed by that!). We played till it was almost time to get ready for the afternoon walkies.
We had a good walk, but without the sun, and with the wind, it was a bit chilly. Arwen didn't seem to care and she went splashing anyway. Yay for another dripping wet dog...
I watched a bit of telly and got everything ready for bedtime. I let Arwen out for the last wee, and then we headed to the land of snooze.
I woke twice during the night got the loo. I almost got up the second time, but I fell asleep again until my alarm woke me. Ready to start a new day, the weekend even!

Pixy's Journey @PixysJourney@beige.party#Journal of a very anxious Dutch Pixy (Wednesday, 12/03/2025).
@tldr please do your thing 
I woke before the alarm again. I didn't have a really bad night, but when I woke, I just had to get up, so I did. Did the usual bits and bops, and when Arwen was enjoying her meal, I got my bag and headed to the gym.
I checked up the social media bits while I enjoyed the protein shake, and while the meds were slowly kicking in. I got to the seated bike and rode it for half an hour. Then I walked the treadmill at a slow pace with a slight incline for 1km. Got to the massage chair. And then I switched my shoes and headed back home again.
Washed up, had brekky, and got ready to walk Arwen. It was a bit chillier again this night, with only 1°C. But it was dry and there wasn't much wind, so that was a plus. We had a nice walk. We walked the "in-between" route again. I let Arwen choose and yesterday she went for the long one, but today, she wasn't up for it. Which was all OK.
My leg felt a bit funny at times, like the hip was rattling a bit in the socket. Which could very well be true as the socket had been reloaded a bit. So I didn't mind that Arwen took it easy, as it made me more steady in my walking.
I wasn't really feeling motivated to ride the hometrainer. But I did manage half an hour. I was feeling more anxious about the upcoming procedure every hour, and I didn't like that very much...
I made some food, had a short walk with Arwen, and then watched some telly. At the usual time, we had a walk again. Arwen saw her friend for a short bit, they had a sniff, and then he went home and we went onwards. Arwen did her things and then we headed home again.
Bestie called me when she was driving to her work and we had a nice chat. Then I just relaxed a bit on the couch, as I was really getting anxious...
I walked Arwen and when we got back, mum already pulled up. If course she was early... So she had to wait a bit while I fixed an earlier meal for Arwen, so that she'd not be hungry when I was out and about at the hospital.
I love my mum to bits, but I do feel that her driving skills have gone downward some, and I wasn't all relaxed when I sat next to her. But I tried to be calm, as I was freaking out some already about the upcoming puncture.
We got to the hospital a bit early, so we had to wait for a bit. Then, I finally got called in. Mum stayed in the waiting area. I was so nervous. But the people were very kind to me. All went rather well, but damn... The injection of the sedation stuff was painful. But then he started and I thought it was OK enough. Until he got deeper! Damn!! I was clutching my hands so hard that sweat was dripping from them. It just hurt that much... It didn't take too long, but for me, it felt like it took ages... When they were done, I felt a bit weird, but that was just the sedation in my leg and the adrenaline in my system...
Mum and I headed home and we got into an argument, as she was being stubborn and then she didn't bieve me, so she drove the wrong way... Ugh... I was sore and wanted to go home. So mum driving the wrong way definitely didn't help. And, as I mentioned, her skills aren't that good anymore. So that made me feel some anxiety as well... But... We made it home safe and sound.
I relaxed a bit until Arwen indicated that she wanted walkies. I texted the neighbor, and a few minutes later, we were on our way. It felt rather weird to walk with that leg still being bummed out a bit... But we made it and the dogs also seemed to have a good time!
Some more relaxing on the couch, until I couldn't stop yawning anymore. So I let Arwen out too wee, and then we got ready for bed time. I took an extra painkiller, and then went to the land of snooze.
I woke once for the loo, and then when my alarm told me it was time to get up. Which startled me a bit, as usually, I'm up before the alarm wakes me.
Feeling a tad sore, I got up and started my new day.

@tldr do your thing please
I woke before the alarm. I slept in one go, but I woke from a very freaky dream! Usually, I don't really remember the details, but this time, the last "moments" were stuck with me... And they were gross! So, I got up, hit the scale, got dressed, took my meds, prepped Arwen's food, and I took her out for a wee. Arwen was eating her food when I headed to the gym.
I enjoyed my protein shake as I was catching up with the notifications. Then I headed to the seated bike and I rode half an hour. After that, I walked a (slower) 1k on the mill, with slight incline. A massage in the chair after that, and then I got ready to head back home again.
Washed up, had brekky, and then Arwen and I headed out for walkies. It was a bit colder that night, but at least it was dry. We had a good walk, and Arwen even wanted the long one! I was very surprised about that, but I let her lead and she seemed to enjoy it loads! 
When we got back, I rode the hometrainer for an hour. Then I went back downstairs, changed clothes, and made some food. Arwen and I went out for walkies. Bestie didn't call as she had another thing to deal with, so it was a bit of a boring walk, without the chat...
I relaxed a bit when we got back home. Worked some on my blog. And then I got ready to head to Lidl. I guess many folks were annoyed that I was going 62kmh on a 60 road, as I got more folllwers on the drive than I have at the Fedi! Just kidding, but there were definitely many folks behind me that had been speeding...
I got to the store a bit early. When I got in, I knew what I needed and, also, I kinda knew where to find it now. So fifteen minutes later, Skoosh and I were on the way back already. Yay!
I relaxed a wee bit and then Arwen wanted walkies again. She was fortunate, as the neighbor was there, so she got soms extra nomnoms again... Lucky gall. When we got back, I made some soup, and then I booted the purple beast (my PS5), and I started the Devil in Me game. Trying to do the solo game, and maybe get some trophies along the way. I think there are 30 (well, 31, but the last one only pops when you have the other 30), and I think I have 8 now. So... I have some work to do! Makes me wish I had printer again, as I used to print out the guides, so I could make notes and keep them at hand, which was easier than using the phone for that...
I played a little, and then I fed Arwen. Then she wanted out again, and we ran into the neighbor again. Arwen wanted to walk with them, even though there were no nomnoms involved. I didn't mind, but it did mean a slightly longer walk, so less time to game for me. Ah well, the dogs were happy, and I could chat, so it was all good.
I played the game some more, until my hands were getting annoyed with me. Then I watched some Downton, till it was time to walk Arwen again. We had a nice walk, but the weather was such a change from the previous few days. Grey, with a colder wind, ugh... But then, it's still winter, so we've been blessed with that week of lovely weather.
After walkies, I watched some more Downton, and then I got ready for bed. I was rather tired, as I'd been up a little longer today. Arwen did her thing, and then I headed to bed. It didn't take too long to fall asleep. I woke once for the loo, and then about an hour before the alarm. This seems to be a new thing now? Ugh... I would like some more sleep brain! Anywhoo... I got up and started my day. Or, night...

Pixy's Journey @PixysJourney@beige.party#Journal of a slightly productive Dutch Pixy (Tuesday, 04/03/2025).
@tldr please do your thing! Thanks.
I woke before the alarm. I did set it earlier some, as Arwen had refused to wee before bed time... But I woke even earlier. Guess my subconscious was very aware that Arwen may need to wee badly, which was of course the case. The scale wasn't too joyful. I got dressed, took meds, and let Arwen out. Fixed her food, and then I prepared to leave for the gym. Had to clean Skoosh again, as the windows were frozen again. Can't it be spring yet? 
I remembered to take the different route, as there is a road closed off due to construction. So it was good that I remembered. It will be closed for almost two weeks, so gotta keep thinking about that a bit. I enjoyed my protein shake at the gym. Caught up with the social media bits. As I was earlier, it was still more busy. So I rode the seated bike for half an hour and then I walked the treadmill for 1k, with a slight incline. I enjoyed the massage chair after that and then it esd time to get ready to head home again.
Washed up, changed clothes, had brekky. And then Arwen and I went out again. We walked the "in-between" route again. Arwen protested a bit but then she just hobbled along and had all the sniffs... It was a dry night and even though it was freezing slightly, it didn't feel too bad.
When we got home, I changed clothes and headed upstairs. Rode the hometrainer for about 45 minutes. Used the abs roller for a few reps. Even used the dumbbells a short time. Then I headed down, changed clothes again, and I got my laptop. Worked on my journal blog post, so it could go live this morning. Then I fixed some food, and a get the meal, Arwen and I went out for walkies again. We saw the neighbor again, so Arwen got extra cuddles. When we got back, bestie called me, so we had a nice chat while she was heading to her work.
Then I got ready to head to the supermarket for some groceries. When I got back, I played my game (Lost Records) a bit. Then, Arwen wanted walkies, so we headed out. And Arwen was fortunate, as we were almost back and then... The neighbor came, with snacks this time! So we walked a bit extra...
When we got home I played my game a bit more. Then the sun came into the garden, so I finally started the work on my dirty shelf. It got the first layer of spray paint on. And I gamed some more. After Arwen had some food, she wanted out again. There was a parcel due to arrive, so I just wanted a short walk. But... There was the neighbor again! No nomnoms, but Arwen just had to join them anyway.
Fortunately we came home before the parcel service had been there... I spray painted the other side of the shelf, and then I gamed some more. The parcel came, so that was good too. I connected the Wii converter, but I didn't try it yet. I sprayed the other side of the shelf again, gamed some more, till it was time to walk again with Arwen.
We had lovely weather, and the sun was really warm. Then I cleaned up the shelf stuff and watched some telly till it was time to get to bed. This time, fortunately, Arwen did wee... I went to bed and it didn't take too long to fall asleep.
Unfortunately, I had several weird dreams, so when I finally got up, I didn't feel all that rested. But hey ho, a new day was beginning for me...
