#Journal of a slightly busy Dutch AuDHD Pixy
(Thursday, 02/04/2026).
I had a decent enough night, with about 7½ hours of sleep. I had some weird dreams, but they had not been too bad, and I felt a wee bit rested. I got up, wasn’t too grumpy at the scale, and I got dressed. After taking my meds, I packed my bag, and I headed to Skoosh. Together, we skedaddled to the gym.
I checked my social bits and bops while I was enjoying my protein shake. I rode the bike for 15 minutes, and I walked the treadmill for 15 as well. I tried to be good with what I’d done, and not upset that it was only 30 minutes in total I hope that I can slowly rebuild the duration of my exercises again. But that stupid leg that keeps being so uncomfortable, and tingling at times. I could not use the massage chair, as they had been taken. So, even if I only worked out for 30 minutes, I felt good because those two little exercises had been successful ones. I switched my shoes, and Skoosh and I skedaddled back home again.
I washed up, and got to the couch. I wrote my journal toot, and I worked on my blog a bit as well. I had wanted to try and get some exercises in at home, but even though I had gotten some decent sleep, it had not been enough to cover the sleep I had been missing out on, earlier this week. So, I wrote a new blog post, worked on my journal post, and then I watched some TV. After a while, I got my book, and I just read for a bit as well.
I wasn’t feeling too bläh, but I just didn’t have too many spoons, and I knew I needed some for the groceries run with mum later this morning. I washed my hair, as I had not done that this week, and then I slowly got ready to head to Nijmegen. I was going to my parents a bit earlier, as mum expected it to be a busy day in Germany, as their stores would be closed on Friday, due to it being Good Friday.
When I got there, mum was still working on getting ready. I helped her with her stockings, and when she was all done, we got to Skoosh, and we headed to Germany. The stores were not too busy just yet. And I was able to give Skoosh some drink for €2,089 a liter, which was a bit cheaper than the cheapest one I’d seen near my parents, which was at €2,259 at the time. Prices are crazy for sure, and I am glad that I have Skoosh, as she is a bit more economical than my previous Yaris was… Skoosh has an average of 22,89km per liter, according to my car app, while my previous was at 15,67km per liter. Which means I get almost a third more per liter, which is very nice, considering these prices (and my lower income…).
After mum and I got what we needed in Germany, we got the rest of our things at Appie. I had two full coupon “booklets”, they are digital these days, so I wanted to cash those in, as the money would come in handy for little Koa’s vet visits and such. I cashed in the coupons, and mum and I headed home. I helped with unpacking the bags, and then I wanted to book the coupon money to my saving account, so I could not accidentally spend it already. But… The money wasn’t in my account! Normally, they get it to you within a minute or so, so that was very weird. But, I would check again later, and if it wasn’t there then, then I’d need to contact customer service. A bit bummed, I took Bas out for a little walk.
When Bas and I got back, I packed my groceries, and Skoosh and I skedaddled back home. I unpacked my own groceries, and then I checked my bank app again. Still, the €104 was nowhere to be seen. So, I contacted the customer service chat. It was an annoying chat screen, as it would not show me what I was typing while I was typing, so it was hard to spot any typos, and I do make those with my silly thumbs… The customer service person informed me that the money had been booked to me, but… My bank has a new procedure, which means it can take up to 3 (!!!) working days before they give me the money in my account! So yeah… Another way for them to make even more money on you… With the weekend coming, and it being Easter and all that, yeah, that would mean that my money would probably be stuck for several days, so ka-ching for the bank. If they do that with all the customers who work with this coupon saving system, it means they can probably make quite some money, while we have to wait for ours… I feel a little screwed by this, as they are keeping my money from me…
I relaxed for a bit until the neighbor texted me that the big black 🖤 fluff was in need of snacks and cuddles! So, I got ready, and we headed out for a little walk. He got those cuddles, and he got the snacks as well. 😇 When I got back home, I prepared everything, and then I got ready for bed.
I struggled to stay asleep, I woke up so many times. When I was starting to get a headache from the stupid dreams that kept popping up, I just decided to get up and start my “day”. I only got about 4½ hours of sleep, and it was going to be a long day, so I hope that all will go well…
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!
