#Journal of a Dutch Pixy 🧚🏼‍♀️ (Sunday, 20/04/2025).

Woke when my alarm went off. Had woken one before for the loo, but then quickly fell asleep again till my alarm told me that it was time. First I gave Arwen her meds. Then I got to the scale, got dressed, and took my own meds. A quick loo break for Arwen and then we had to wait till it was time for me to feed her. We're still getting used to that... 😅 When it was time, I fed her, I got my bag, gave her a kiss and headed to Skoosh.

I checked my notifications while I enjoyed the protein shake. Then I got to the seated bike and rode for half an hour. Followed by ten minutes in the massage chair. A quick change of shoes and I headed back to Arwen.

Washing up, change of clothes, and brekky. The weather was decent enough, just a bit chilly, but it was dry. So we had a nice walkies. I worked on my blog a wee bit while Arwen had all the sniffs.

When we got home, I got my laptop and worked on my blog some more. Then I relaxed a bit on the couch. Arwen and I went to the Herperduin again for walkies when it was slowly getting light again. She really had a nice time.

I played my Hogwarts game a bit further, while Arwen was relaxing. Around 9, Arwen wanted her usual walkies again. She was fortunate, as the saw the neighbor, so some nomnoms were had.

Some more relaxing with a wee bit of gaming. I fixed Arwen's food. Then we headed to Nijmegen. There, mum and I took the dogs to the small woods and they seemed to have a nice time.

Then I did some puzzles with my mum, we solved a Sudoku shed been doing together. And I DuckDuck-ed some questions that she didn't know the answers to. It was nice to do together. 😊

After a bit, I walked a short walk with the dogs again. I had some time with my parents and then mum ordered some food and I went to pick it up.

It was getting late to me, so it threw me off my routine a bit. But heck, it's only one day... We had a nice meal and I even got to take some home for tomorrow. 😊

When Arwen and I got home, we quickly walked the last round and got ready for bed. When I heard Arwen relax, I was able to fall asleep as well. It was going to be a short night, as I had to get up in time for Arwen's meds again.

I slept in one go till a few minutes before the alarm was set to go off. It was a good sleep but I definitely could have used a few more hours. So, I got up and started my day/night. And yay, it was raining loads. Wet night ahead, according to the weather app ☔.

#Journal of a slightly relaxed Dutch Pixy 🧚🏼‍♀️ (Saturday, 19/04/2025).

I woke not too long before the alarm was set to go off. So I started my routine. Scale, getting dressed, letting Arwen out, giving her the meds, taking my own meds, and waiting till it was time to feed Arwen. We both need to adjust to this new step in the routine, where it's not just "wee, food, gym", but now there's half an hour of waiting until I can feed her... And head to the gym.

I checked on social media and enjoyed my protein shake. Meds were kicking in a bit "earlier", as I spent time waiting to feed Arwen, so they were starting their job then... I caught up with the notifications and then I got to the seated bike. Managed for half an hour. Followed by a massage in the chair. Switched my shoes and headed back to Arwen after that...

Washed up, changed clothes, and had brekky. It was a dry night for walkies, but it was humid and chilly with 4°C. But we had a nice walk, and got some sweet selfies together.

I changed clothes and rode the hometrainer for half an hour. Then I headed downstairs, changed clothes, and worked on my blog a bit. Slow tablet, it's getting old, and some telly. Arwen snoring in the background, how I did enjoy that sound... 😊

After some writing and some telly time, I took Arwen to the Herperduin. She really loved it! I was a bit scared she'd use all her energy before we'd be able to get back to the car. But she did well enough, retrieved the ball a few times, and then slowly but happily, headed back to Skoosh.

I fixed some food when we got back, and turned on the washing machine. I had replaced my curtains in the bedroom, so the old ones could do with a wash. Maybe someone would be interested in them, so it's nice when they're a bit cleaner then. 😊

Around 9, Arwen wanted her usual walkies again. We were almost home when she saw her friend! So, of course, we had to go an extra round... She was happy with the attention and the nomnoms, but had a good sleep once we got back.

I had some food again and watched some telly. A short walk with Arwen after she had her food. And then I booted up the purple beast. Back to Hogwarts... It's a fun game, so I'm glad I'm able to enjoy it now for free. 😊 A sweet friend joined me after a bit on the chat, and we had a nice chat while both playing our own games. Apparently the game she's enjoying requires her to die a lot! 😂

Then it already was time to get ready for walkies with N&B. The weather was lovely and we had a nice walk. Some relaxing when we got back. One more short walkies and then we got ready for bed. Arwen was panting a bit, which of course, worried me again. I gave her some extra hugs and kisses. And then, after a bit, I heard her breathing get more relaxed again, and I dozed off...

I woke once for the loo and then when my alarm woke me. It was almost 7 hours of sleep, so not too bad! Let's start the new day/night, and a happy Easter to all that celebrate. 🐣
