#Journal of a busy Dutch AuDHD Pixy
(Thursday, 26/03/2026).
Because I had come home late from the garage, and taking dad home, I had a shorter night. I did adjust my alarm for a bit, but somehow, my brain and body woke up even before it had gone off. So, with about 4 hours of sleep, I got up and started my “day”. The scale was its usual grumpy self, probably because it had to bear my heavy weight… I got dressed, took my meds, prepped my bag, and then I headed to Skoosh.
We skedaddled to the gym, where I checked my social bits and bops, while enjoying my protein shake. Then, I got to the recumbent bike. And, again, when I was done, my right leg was tingling again. Damn! 😞I could barely use my leg for a while, so I didn’t think it wise to use the treadmill after that. I got a massage in the chair, and then I went back home again.
I washed up, got to the couch, and grabbed my laptop to write my journal toot. I worked a bit on my blog, and I used AI to make some luministic versions of some of my favorite puppy pictures. Then, I put away the laptop, and I relaxed while watching telly for a while. I re-started one of my favorite series, “How to get away with murder?”. I have seen it several times now, I think once a year since I discovered it on Disney+, and I still enjoy it. I can watch it while working on the laptop, or while being on my phone, because I know a bit about what is happening. So it’s a good series to watch in the background, if that makes sense.
I read my book for a bit, after some episodes of the series had played, and then I headed upstairs. I felt like I should be doing some more exercises, as I have been really slacking the last few weeks. 😞And my weight (and I guess my emotional state as well) reflects on that. I managed to ride the bike for 20 minutes, but I just could not “get into it”. I miss that motivation that I used to have. I wish that I could start feeling better again, both physically as mentally, so I can start working on improving myself again.
I read a bit more, and then I got ready to head to Nijmegen. There was some ice on Skoosh’ her windshield, so that was a bummer. I got to my parent’s place safe and sound. I helped mum with some things, and when she was ready, we headed to Germany. We got the groceries that we needed, and I filled up Skoosh with some new bits to drink. It was still expensive, but still, I paid 11 cents per liter less than I did yesterday in Nijmegen, so that’s still a bit of a difference. Mum and I got some things from some Dutch stores too.
We got back to their home, I helped unpack all the bags. While mum was sorting out the last things, I went for a walk with Bas. But, as we headed out, it started raining again, with some snow/hail in between, with some bad wind as well. So Bas wasn’t too pleased, and he only wanted a short walk. Still, we had a little walk, so that was better than nothing. When we got back, mum and I went to Intratuin, as I needed something for my garden work.
We got there, and after some walking around, we got to the item that I needed. When we browsed there, we saw this incredibly cute little garden statue of Disney’s Dumbo. I didn’t have enough money, so the bit I missed, mum gave me, as she loved the little statue as well. Then, we headed back to their home. I got my things, and Skoosh and I skedaddled home again.
On the way home, there was some terribly bad weather, with heavy winds, and rain, filled with hail and wet snow. It didn’t last too long, but it was bad driving conditions while it happened. And still, with weather that bad, some folks either raced on way too fast, even for the normal limits, and many had their lights set to automatic, and yeah, they didn’t come on with the gray and bad weather, so they were hard to see, especially the dark silver/gray ones. I don’t get it, why people won’t switch on their lights for better visibility, when wet snow and hail are blurring your sight so much… Fortunately, we got back safe and sound. And when I had to unpack Skoosh, it was almost dry again.
I made some food, and then my neighbor texted that they would not be going out for walkies at the usual time. Bummer. I watched some telly, and then I got ready for bed. After several shorter nights, I was rather tired, and hoping for a good night. It took a little while, as I had trouble getting warm, even with the heated blanket on. But then, I got warm, and I dozed off rather quickly. I woke up once for the loo, after some weird dream. And then, I went back to bed, and I slept till about a quarter before my usual alarm time was set. I had managed to get about 8½ hours of sleep, wow! So, feeling a wee bit more rested, I got up and started my “day”.
Thanks to all for your kindness and support during my "journey through daily life"
I really appreciate it 💜 as it helps me to keep going on bad/harder days!
