#Journal of a Dutch Pixy (Monday, 22/09/2025).

The day started off rather well. The galls allowed me to sleep. I only woke up once for the loo, and then Aimy got excited. I told her that it wasn't time yet, we still had more sleeping time left (through the closed door) and then I got woken up by my alarm. I could have slept a little longer, but the dogs needed their walkies, so onwards to the scale. It showed me 81kg, so it's going down a little bit more lately, yay for that! I got dressed and then ventured into the crazy world of my living room.

The galls were very happy to see me. I took my meds, and with some efforts, I was able to put on my shoes. We went out for a short walk, and I noticed it wad colder than I thought. When we got back, I switched my jacket and then, after giving the galls their snacks, I grabbed my bag and headed to Skoosh.

We got to the fitness safe and sound. I switched my shoes and enjoyed my protein shake. After checking my socials, I got to the seated bike and I rode for half an hour. A massage in the chair after that. Then I got ready to head back home again.

Again, the galls were very glad to see me. I gave them their kibble and washed up and changed clothes. We relaxed for a bit, so the food could settle. Then we headed out for a nightly walk. Yay for bunnies, my hands and shoulders really enjoy them... (my attempt at sarcasm...). The galls got their hunting instincts on and tried to get me to where they'd seen the bunny ASAP... Ugh... I tried to move them along and I was glad when we got back home again. They're sweet dogs, but they're enthusiastic and strong, especially since I'm still not fully back to my normal strengths.

We got back and then I tried to relax with them. I wrote my journal Toot and edited the text into my blog post. With the last bits added, I finished the journal post so it was ready to be shared on Tuesday. I also started a blog post for Wednesday, so I'd have something to share as well. I used to have several posts ready in advance, but lately, due to my emotional and physical struggles, I find it harder to write. I feel like I keep repeating myself, making my blog posts very boring to people.

I wanted to watch some DS9, but for some reason, my TV didn't want to boot the needed app. So, I switched to another one and I re-watched some Castle instead. I went upstairs to clean up the laundry there. The galls were acting like I've left them all alone for ages . Bestie called on her way to work and we had a nice chat. After that, I finished putting away the laundry and then it got light enough to walk with the galls again.

It wasn't a very relaxing walk, as the galls smelled so many things that made them wild! And they tried to get into some water here and there. But those waters are dirty and smelly and I'd definitely don't want them to get into them! When we got back, I really needed a rest. Then I tried to finish my new blog post. I dabbled with the idea of gaming, but I was a bit too tired to concentrate properly.

The galls were acting like we never went out and wanted a few more walks. I made them shorter ones, also due to the heavy truck traffic in the neighborhood. We had a walk and I watched some more telly. Then i wanted to fix some food, and the galls used emotional blackmail on me for yet another walk... Safe to say, the puppy eyes won and my food was delayed for a while.

After yet another short walk had been enjoyed, I got my soup and then we relaxed in the couch some more. The galls lay down and snoozed loudly. After a while, I woke them up for their meal. They came back to the couch, and this time I convinced Lotus that it was OK for her to claim a spot with me. usually, Aimy is the first one to claim the place and Lotus just let's her have it. But now it was her time to relax and get some extra cuddles.

Lotus was sleeping so peacefully when it was time for walkies. Aimy was impatient to go out, and it bothered me to wake her up. But when I asked Lotus if she wanted walkies, she woke up and got excited. So we headed out and they could do their things. There was about half an hour before it was time to get ready for bed. We walked a short walk now, just for the last wee and poo, and then we got to bed.

I woke up once for the loo. And then because Aimy barked and she was ready with her toy to greet me. I told her through the closed door that there were some more hours of sleep to be had. She seemed disappointed, but went back to snooze and they let me sleep till my alarm went off. I had wanted to sleep longer, but the galls had to be taken out (according to me) and all that. So I got up, headed to the scale (again at 81kg), and I got ready to start the "day".

#Journal of a slightly relaxing Dutch Pixy (Sunday, 21/09/2025).

I was sleeping rather well, only woke up once for the loo, until one of the galls, probably Aimy, barked loudly and woke me up, about half an hour before my alarm was set. Because she started whining a bit, I was wondering if she woke me up for a loo break. So, I got to the scale, which was kind, and then quickly got dressed. I took my meds and then I got the galls out.

They didn't immediately run out for a wee or something, so I wonder what the bark was all about. Maybe they just thought I had enough rest for now! I did get about 7:15 hours of sleep, so that was more then enough I guess. I did get a sleep score of 93, so that wasn't bad at all. When we got back from walkies, I gave the galls their snacks and then I grabbed my bag to head to the gym.

Skoosh and I arrived safe and sound. I switched my shoes, enjoyed my protein drink, and checked the socials. Then, I headed to the seated bike where I got half an hour of riding in. I didn't feel too motivated for some unknown reason, but I wrote for my journal Toot and before I knew it, the half hour was done. I went to the massage chair after that, and when it was done, I switched my shoes and headed back home with Skoosh.

The galls were very happy to see me. I got them their meals and then I washed up and dressed again. I tried to relax on the couch, as the galls needed to wait a bit for walkies after their meals.

After about half an hour, we headed out for our nightly walk. The galls were very enthusiastic, especially when they saw a bunny pass by. Damn, I think my arms stretched out a few centimeters while they pulled the leashes to get to the place where they saw the little creature hop away. Walking with them made me realize how lucky I've been with the peaceful demeanor of Arwen as she got older and more interests in the peaceful sniffs.

When we got back, I worked a bit on my blog. Added the journal text and images, and started working on a blog post for the following day
I tried to relax a bit with the galls and some DS9. I enjoyed my breakfast and after some time, it was getting light out, and the galls and I got ready for another walk.

After the walk, I wanted to finish Monday's blog post so that I could relax and enjoy some gaming this morning. I managed to finish the post and then, when I got ready to game, there were two brown snouts looking at me with begging eyes... It had been two hours since last walkies... I could not start gaming peacefully, without walking them first... Those eyes... They know how to convince me...

So we went for a shorter walk this time, and when we got back, I finished the DS9 episode I was watching before booting up the purple beast (my PS5 has purple plates ). I started No Man's Sky, flew around a bit until I found a suitable planet to go to and dig for Corvette scrap.

After a while a sweet friend texted me that they would be interested in joining after their meal. I had to go out for a short walk again, and then I made my meal. I was almost done when my friend sent me the invite. It was good to catch up with them again! We both played our own game while chatting. I managed to make some adaptations to my Corvette before I had to log off and get ready for bed. Slowly, my Corvette cache is filling up with all different parts, which will hopefully allow me to start building a second Corvette, which hopefully will be even better than the first one.

I walked with the galls and then we went to bed. It didn't take too long for me to fall asleep. When I woke up for the loo, one of the galls, probably Aimy, got very excited as she thought I was getting up. I told her though the closed door it wasn't time yet, it was just a wee, we need to sleep some more... And then, thankfully, the galls let me sleep till my alarm went off! I got about 7:40 hours of sleep in and it was amazing!

I got to the scale, it was kind to me. I got dressed, while two idiots were bouncing behind my door . I went to them, gave all the cuddles, took my meds... And the galls and I started our "day"...
