#Journal of a very tired Dutch Pixy 🧚🏼‍♀️ (Tuesday, July 2nd 2024).

TL;DR tried to start the day as usual and then... The hard work began! We didn't get all done as I hoped, but we made a very good start. 😊

I woke due to noise outside. I still had about 80 more minutes to sleep, so I turned around and tried to sleep again. After 20 minutes my body and brain had enough and I had to get up... The scales were OK enough and the weather was dry, for now... I got a sleep score of 84, so not too high, but OK enough seeing the circumstances. 😊 I got dressed, took meds and prepped Arwen's food. It was 14°C, so not too cold. We had our short walkies and then I fixed her food. I gave the snacks and headed to the gym.

I caught up with the notifications while I enjoyed my protein shake. Then it was time to get to work. Half an hour on the treadmill, half an hour on the seated bike. And then... "My" favorite massage chair was out of order... 😭 Big sobs! So I switched shoes and headed home.

They "promised" some rain today, so I was glad that we may have a dry SniffBook walk due to me being up earlier. First I washed up and had brekky. Then we headed out. I wrote some for my blog, and I edited some Skwerly AI images for a sweet friend. 😊 We had good walkies. When we were almost back, some drizzle started falling. So I knew I quickly had to pack Skoosh before I would work on the Journal post on my PC. I was finished loading Skoosh, at behind the PC, when I heard the rain brake loose! Yay! Done just in time... 😊

I worked on my blog and then I slowly got ready to head to Herpen. I quickly brought Arwen's bed to the car. She needed a pee and then we were off. The route was a different one again, there seem to be many roads, but some I prefer over others... I'll learn them over time and then I (hopefully) won't need maps anymore and I can find my own best routes.

I unloaded Skoosh after I had put Arwen's bed in my bedroom. She was like "OK what's diz?". But she got a snack and that always helps haha. When Skoosh was empty, I did the dishes that I saw needed doing after I unpacked some plates and cups yesterday. I didn't clean them (they're not my usual things, these were extra, just in case) when I wrapped them in the papers. So I washed and dried them. Then, it was time for Arwen's first walk there.

Of course it was still raining... Bestie called me as we were out and about. We tried to find a route but my shoes got soaked and there were many sheepies there... So we turned around. I chatted about everything with bestie as Arwen did the sniffs and such. Then she had to go, and we were almost home. I switched into my work clothes and waited for mum to come.

When I saw her pull up, I helped to empty the car. She tried to get started on the rolling curtains while I read the instructions for the primer. But I didn't bring everything we needed to the house yet, so we went to a hardware store first. It was a biiiiig one and the lady that helped us was super kind and friendly. Big win! We got what we needed and then started the real work. I had filled up some holes and scrubbed some bobs from one wall, so I could primer that one first. While that was drying, I started on another wall. The waiting for it to dry takes quite a while, unfortunately... Especially as it was more humid due to the rain...

I walked Arwen again and we met two dogs. Both were yellow Labs, so Arwen was rather happy. 😊 I primered the big wall, but it needed some work, so still about one meter to go. Mum went home after a bit, she had tried her best, and I finished up some last bits. The parcel had arrived. The man for the floors had been over. It was all done, appointments wise. And I was just so tired and aching... So we headed back home.

A quick stop at the Jumbo for a few groceries (I took the car, eek!) and then we got to the apartment. I fixed food and Arwen looked at the space where her bed had been like "what? It's gone?"... But she settled for the couch instead. I was so tired that I took some Ibuprofen and lay on the couch... Not even time spend on here, just a quick note saying I was dead...

I prepped for bed a little earlier and walked with Arwen. Took an extra painkiller for the night and then, it took about a hour for me to fall asleep... 😢 Ugh... Such a bummer...

I woke once and then when my alarm went off. I felt OK enough, but still some sore muscles. I got to the scales, which were a little higher, and then got ready for the day. My sleep score was high with 95, even though I got less sleep.

Hey ho, let's start the next day. Hopefully I can make some primer and painting progress today!
