#Journal of a slightly triggered Dutch Pixy :pixy_party: (Thursday, 09/10/2025).
I had a great night! Had some weird dreams, but not too disturbing, and in the end, even though I woke up twice, I got about 8:20 (!!) of sleep! Wow, guess I needed it after the short night before. The scale wasn't too bad I guess. I got dressed, took my meds, and prepared to get to the gym.
I enjoyed my protein shake while being busy with my social bits and bops. Then, I got to the seated bike and managed only 15 minutes. Even with some decent sleep, my body was struggling with energy. But, I headed to the strength machines and used the seated leg curl for a bit, go help with my sore muscle. After a massage in the chair, I got ready to head home.
I booted up a DVD and started writing my journal Toot. But then the TV kept saying that the signal was gone. When I wiggled the cable, it did come back, only to disappear shortly after. 😔 I guess it's time to get a new (and better) cable. I ordered one, which is too good for the little player. But I'll exchange the PS5 cable with the new one, and use the old one for the Blu-ray player. That should hopefully fix the issue. I have a few decent hdmi cables, bit most are the cheaper kind, because the better ones were just too expensive when I needed them. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 that this will help solve it all.
I wrote the journal Toot, updated my blog, wrote a long email back to a sweet friend, and quickly made the Thursday quote post, as it was already Thursday 🫣. I had some brekky, tried to relax a bit, and played some with the MyNoise® website to discover more sounds that I'd like.
Then, I gathered my things and got ready to head to Nijmegen. During my drive, bestie called me. I had to fill up Skoosh, and then I got to my parents house. When mum was ready, we got ready to head to Germany. Penny, filling their tank at Shell, DM and Edeka. We got all we needed. Then we had to wait for about 13 minutes for the shoe shop to open. And, within ten minutes, we were already outside again, with a nice pair of new shoes for me. Finally! The old ones were barely alive 😂 they'd been worn out and then some. So hopefully, the new shoes will last me some time as well.
We headed to Kranenburg, where we visited the pet shop. I got a few snacks for my big black 🖤 fluffy friend. Then, onwards to AH. I was getting a bit agitated with mum, as I was too low on spoons and whenever she wanted to help, she wanted to do it her way, and not how it would be actually helpful to me... 😔 So that triggered my emotions a bit. Normally I can deal with it, but I guess this stupid burnout is just messing with me... 😔
We got back, and mum had to exchange some things she got for me (but didn't pay enough attention so she got kinds that I don't like at all... Bummer!), and I went for a walk with Bas. We had a nice walkies, Bas had all the sniffs and such... When we got back, a friend of ours had arrived at my parents place. As mum had not come back yet, we chatted for a while. When mum returned, I gathered my things and headed back to the noise and dust, AKA the place where my home is... 😉
I unpacked all the things and made some food. After food, my neighbor texted me that she and the fluff were heading out! He was all ready to receive all the nomnoms 😂. We had a nice walk. When we got back, I adjusted the new inlays to fit in my new shoes. I walked around a little on them, and so far, they seemed good!
I got ready to head to bed. Turned on some nature sounds (this time it was one called "Jungle Life") and I read in my eBook until I dozed off. I woke up a few times due to some noise and an annoying bladder.
Around 22:45 I woke up again. I tried to get back to sleep, but then my brain started to think all these things I would rather forget. So, after ten minutes, I just got up and started my "day".

PS. I added an older, edited, snap of Arwen that I used for my dog quote post on my blog today. She was such a cutie... 🥲
