#Journal of a busy but excited Dutch AuDHD Pixy  (Tuesday, 31/03/2026).

I had a decent enough sleep, but with some weird dreams, so I wasn’t as rested as I hoped to be, especially after the shorter previous night. I got up, grumbled at the scale, and then at myself, and then I got dressed. After taking my meds, putting on my shoes, and packing my bag, I headed to Skoosh, and together we skedaddled to the gym.

I checked up on my social bits while I was enjoying my protein drink. I rode the recumbent bike for 15 minutes, which went OK enough, and my leg didn’t give me too much trouble. Then, I walked on the treadmill for 10 minutes. I feel bad that I don’t do more, like I used to do. But I know that I will have to rebuild things on the new situation, and to be honest, I am not in the same condition as I was before the surgeries. My leg still isn’t fully recovered. So it’s just not possible to do the things I used to do. And I need to realize that, and take it in consideration when I am trying my exercises. After the treadmill, I used the massage chair, and then I got ready to head back home again.

I got home, washed up, and got to the couch. I grabbed my laptop and I wrote my journal toot. I worked a bit on my blog as well. As I was a tad tired, I put away the laptop, watched some TV while I enjoyed my breakfast, and then I got my book and I read for a while. After I had done some reading, I got to the treadmill, and I walked for 15 minutes. I got back to the couch, and I watched some more telly, and I read some more after that as well. Bestie called on her way to work, and we had a nice chat. After that, I made some food. And… I read some more.

After a while, I got a bit restless. As the weather was decent enough, I went out for a short walk around the block. Then, I watched some more TV, as I wrote a bit for my blog. When it was time to get ready, I packed my bags, and I headed to Cuijk. I remembered to take the highway, but I got there a wee bit too early. I didn’t mind waiting, and they switched me with someone, so I could go a bit earlier, which was very kind of them to do.

After physio, I headed to Nijmegen, as I would wait with my parents before it was time to go back to Cuijk for the puppy visit this afternoon. When I got to their place though, there was no one there! Not even the pupper… But it didn’t take too long before they got back home, and I got all the Bas cuddles. I chatted with my parents a bit, I took out Bas for a little walk. And when it was time, mum and I both drove to Cuijk. It was easier for me to get home without having to take mum home first, as that would add about an hour, or more depending on traffic, and mum was OK driving herself.

We had a great time with the puppies!! Those teeth are really sharp haha, and they know how to use them! I tried to get all the cuddles. Dark-blue was excited to get my attention again, but this time, white paw was eager to get all my cuddles as well. Of course I hugged and cuddled them all as much as I could, and as much as they wanted me to. But those two were the biggest cuddle bugs. After about 90 minutes, mum and I both said our goodbyes, and we headed home.

When I got home, I quickly took my meds, prepped everything, and then I got ready to head to bed. I was rather tired, so I was hoping for a good sleep. After a little while, I dozed off. I woke up about 3 hours later for the loo, and then again about 15 minutes before I had set my alarm. So, 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!

Good evening Squirrel Fans.

Having been to see ‘Project Hail Mary’ this afternoon I can safely say, without giving too much away, that there were both Divers alarums & definitely excursions! :-

“Divers alarums and excursions', she read, uncertainly. 'That means lots of terrible happenings, said Magrat. 'You always put that in plays.'
Alarums and what?', said Nanny Ogg, who hadn't been listening.
Excursions', said Magrat patienly.
Oh.' Nanny Ogg brightened a bit. 'The seaside would be nice,' she said.
Oh do shut up, Gytha,' said Granny Weatherwax. 'They're not for you. They're only for divers, like it says. Probably so they can recover from all them alarums.”
― Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters

Right, somehow it has got to past 10pm without me noticing so I’m off ot bed to read for a while before sleep claims me!

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you’re well & safe! 😊🫶🖖

#Journal of a slightly positive Dutch AuDHD Pixy  (Monday, 30/03/2026).

Well… I did not start this week feeling rested and fit. Somehow, my brain had decided that after less than 4 hours of sleep, I just had to get up and start my “day”. The first few hours, I felt less tired than I had expected. I relaxed for a while on the couch, worked on the huge load of new puppy pics that had been shared in the puppy chat. I watched some TV, took my meds, and around 22, I got ready to head to the gym.

Skoosh and I arrived safe and sound. I got to my social bits while I was enjoying my protein shake. After that, I got to the recumbent bike. I rode it for 15 minutes this time, which my leg agreed to a bit better. Then, I got to the strength machines, and I managed to do two different little arm exercises. After a massage in the chair, I got ready to get to Skoosh, and we headed back home again.

We got home, I washed up, got to the couch, and started working on my journal toot. I finished up on my journal blog post as well, and then I worked on the new puppy pics for a while. I had not finished them all, but I was starting to feel more tired. So, I had my brekkie, I watched some TV, and then I went to the treadmill. I had wanted to walk for 15 minutes, but I managed to push myself, and I made it to 30 minutes. I was tired as heck, but it did feel good.

I got back to the couch, where I watched TV for a while. Then, I got my book, and I read for a while as well. As I was getting hungry, being up a bit longer than usual, I fixed myself a proper meal. Yay me! After that, I read some more, until bestie called me on her way to work.

After the call, I read a bit more. When I had relaxed for a while, and the weather was well enough, I headed out for a short walk around the block. I got back, watched some telly while I wrote a bit for my blog. I watched some more telly, starting to doze off a bit at times. When my neighbor texted the black 🖤 fluff text, I headed out. He got all the snuggles and snacks, and then I headed home, and I got to bed.

It didn’t take too long for me to doze off. I woke up twice during the night, and when I woke up again, it was about 20 minutes until my alarm was set to go off. So, I got up, and I 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!

Good evening Squirrel Fans.

This, it has to be said, is my experience of the whole pin retrieval paradigm :-

“See a pin and pick it up, and, all day long, you'll have a pin.”

Right it’s been a long day so off to read for a while before bed.

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you’re well & safe! 😊🫶🖖

#Journal of a trying Dutch AuDHD Pixy  (Sunday, 29/03/2026).

I had a decent enough night where, according to my watch, I had been able to get about 7¾ hours of sleep. The scale was its usual self, so was I, unfortunately. I got dressed, took my meds, packed my bag, and I headed to Skoosh. Together we skedaddled towards the gym, where we arrived safe and sound.

I worked through some of the social bits and bops, while I was enjoying my protein shake. Then, I got to the recumbent bike, which I tried to ride for a while. When I was done, my leg was doing the whole tingling thing again. I used the massage chair to try and get some relief, before I got ready to head back home again.

When I got home, I relaxed for a bit, and then I walked on the treadmill for 15 minutes. After that, I washed up, got to the couch, and grabbed my laptop. I wrote my journal toot first, and then the book took for the book that I’d finished reading the previous day. I watched some TV, worked on my blog for a bit. Then, I got my Kobo and I spent some time reading.

After a few chapters, I headed upstairs. I rode the bike for a little while, and then I went to the other room. The laundry was dry, so I folded it all, and took it downstairs with me. I made myself some food, ate it, obviously, and then I cleaned up the laundry. After that, it was light out, and dry and all that, so I headed out to get a wee bit of garden stuff done. But, my right thumb was not happy about it at all, threatening to dislocate whenever I put some strength on it. I managed to get a wee bit done, and while I was bummed that I hadn’t been able to do more, part of me was a wee bit glad that I had been able to to the little that I did.

I got to the couch and I read for a while. I saw an email come in from a dear friend that I had not heard from in quite a while. I had tried to contact them, but never got a reply, which worried me, as that was not really like them at all. When I read the email, when I read about the health struggles of my sweet friend, it hit me in the gut. I just had to go out of the house, so I walked a short round around the block. I needed the fresh air… I had been worried about my friend, and to read how bad they were doing, it hurt me so much. 😢

I never met this friend, only online. We’d been chatting for many hours, as they were often awake during part of the night too. While I walked the SniffiVerse™ walkies with my sweet gall, my friend and I chatted about loads of things. I supported them, and they were there for me. And now, it seemed that my worries, the fear that I felt when my friend didn’t reply for such a long time, it had been real, it had been warranted. My friend had been suffering. And, it made me even more sad to know that, I had not been there for them. But then, my chat messages had not been delivered for almost 2 months, and the email I sent didn’t get a reply until about 5 to 6 weeks later. So, I could not have been there for them properly. Still, I felt like a bad friend, because I had not been supportive… Ah well, the life with cPTSD, always feeling like you should have done better, and like you let people down… 😞

When I got back from my short walk, I grabbed my tablet and BT keyboard, and I did my best to write a proper email back to my friend. I was so sad, because my friend had been through a lot, and they deserved some good stuff happening, which they were working on at the end of last year… I was so happy for them. But then… Medical stuff made their life a very painful and scary hell…

After I wrote my long reply, I needed to distract myself a bit. I played with my phone for a while, chatted with a friend, and I watched some TV. Then, I read my book some more, as I am enjoying the 12th book of the Decker/Lazarus series so far (currently at 33%). When my neighbor texted me for walkies, snuggles, and snack-giving to/with the big black 🖤 fluff, I got ready to head out with them. When I got back, I prepped everything, and headed to bed.

It took a while to doze off. When I woke up again, about 3¾ hours later, for the loo, I wanted to get back to sleep again. But, I could not get comfortable. I felt too hot, so I ditched a plaid. I put on some calming rain sounds from the myNoise™ app, and I tried different positions. But my brain, it had booted up, for some reason, and after half an hour of twisting and turning, I was getting a big headache. So, I gave up, and I got up, and I started my “day”. I took my ADHD meds, and enjoyed many puppy pics that had been shared in the puppy chat. 🤎 When my ADHD meds started to kick in, I relaxed a bit, and around 22, I just headed to the gym, and I’d take it as it would come…

Good evening Squirrel Fans.

For the uninitiated there are 3 witches living in or near Lancre in the Ramtop mountains; Nanny Ogg, Granny Weatherwax & Magret Garlic. The Maid, the Crone & the … other one (as she is described). By the time of the events laid out in ‘Maskerade’ the maid … isn’t anymore & has also hung up her witches hat having branched out into local government. The 2 remaining members of the Lancre coven are finding it hard to adjust :-

“Among the hissing furze bushes a fire blazed, the flames driven this way and that by the gusts. An eldritch voice shrieked: ‘When shall we … two … meet again?’ Thunder rolled. A rather more ordinary voice said: ‘What’d you go and shout that for? You made me drop my toast in the fire.”
― Terry Pratchett, Maskerade

Right off to read my book, catch you fab folk on the other side!

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you’re well & safe! 😊🫶🖖

Sunday has dawned damp & grey although it will be a fairly mild day with temps topping out at around 10ºC.

Well the clocks going forward have played havoc with my little squirrelly brain & I’m not sure what I’m doing!
Thankfully we have no plans for today so I can let the chaos wash over me.

Cashew later Peeps, have a fabulously nutty day #Today ! 😊🫶🖖

#Journal of a Dutch AuDHD Pixy  (Saturday, 28/03/2026).

I didn’t have a too bad night, I even felt a tiny bit rested when I woke up. The scale was still grumpy with me, for not doing any better… I was (am) grumpy with myself for thinking I want to do better, but for failing in all ways to actually do things better… I got dressed, took my meds, packed my bag, and I got to Skoosh so we could skedaddle to the gym.

I checked on some social bits and bops while I was enjoying my protein shake. Then, I got to the recumbent bike. And, again, after some time, my leg started to act up again. Defeated, I headed to the massage chair, hoping that it would help me relax a bit. I switched my shoes after that, and got to Skoosh, to reverse the previous process. 😉

I headed to the couch, relaxed for a few minutes, and then got to the treadmill. I walked for 15 minutes, 1,15km, and then I washed up, and got back to the couch again. I grabbed my laptop, and started writing my journal toot. I worked on my blog a bit as well. After that, I had some food. Then, I hobbled upstairs, and I rode the bike for a short while.

I found some wrapping paper, and I packed the two little gifts I got for a good friend of mine, who had their birthday earlier this week. Then, I got my Kobo, and I finished reading the book “Jupiter’s Bones”, by Faye Kellerman. I started the new book, and read some more. Then, I switched to watching some telly, until it was late enough to start the washing machine. I hung the bits out to dry, and I read a bit in the doggy book that Joke had given to me.

When the weather was getting a bit better, I went outside for a short walk. I still just can’t really enjoy a walk on my own… 😞 I got back, and watched some more telly. Then, I read for a while. The neighbor texted that there would be no walkies, so after a little while, I got ready to head to bed.

It didn’t take me too long to doze off. I woke up once for the loo, and when I woke up again, my body told me it was time to start moving again. According to my watch, I got about 7¾ hours of sleep in, so not too bad at all. I got up, and I started my “day”. Which would be a little bit shorter, as our clocks were changing to DST during this night.

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!
