#Journal of a tired Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Tuesday, 13/10/2026).
Another short sleep. Just a little over 5 hours of sleep. I just wish I could get better nights. Most of the time, Koa is doing so well these days, sleep wise, and I wish I could snooze while he does it. But often, my brain is too wired, my body too sore, and/or there's such bad noise coming from outside... Often the very annoying screaming kid. I hope that, when winter comes, she won't be eager to go out that often to scream like she's being hung by her toes! 🫣 So yeah, five hours in total again, not feeling too well rested. But I was wide awake, my body too sore, my brain too busy from dealing with stupid nightmares. So, I got up early, and started our routine with Koa. As it was still a bit early, I had some more time to get to my things. If only I had the energy for them. 😞
Koa had his meal, I had taken my meds, and Koa had gone out. No smelly prezzie for me to wrap just yet, but it was a bit earlier than his usual “poop time”, so I knew it would be coming later. We went inside, and I tried to relax a bit on the couch. I wrote an email to my friend, and I tried to write a bit for my blog. I had to finish my Sunday’s journal Toot, because I also needed it to finish today’s journal blog post. But I was still tired, and easily distracted, so things were not going very quickly. But, I did what I could, and after some time, Koa wanted to stretch his legs, so of course we had to head out.
We went out and Koa did his things. When we got back, I worked a bit on my blog before I fixed my brekkie. I worked a bit more on my blog, finally finishing the journal Toot and blog post. I was so tired, that I tried to relax for a little while with some telly and some scrolling on my phone. I tried to start writing Monday’s journal Toot, and I had written a bit, when I was told that it was paw stretching time. So, what’s a humom to do, but to go out with their beloved pet again? 😉
Walkies were being had, and we got back home again. I tried to relax a bit, as today would be a day where I had to do some driving and shopping, so I had to have some energy to be able to do all that. After some telly time, I fixed Koa's meal. Followed by a meal for myself. I didn't get much time to let it settle, as Koa thought he'd waited long enough for yet another walkies. So, we went out again. Bestie called me while on her way to work. We got home, and when bestie arrived safe and sound, we ended the call. I was hoping to relax a bit.
Koa and I would be heading to Cuijk around 10:45. We'd head to the Shell station ⛽ where I'd fill up the tyres of Skoosh again, as they seemed a bit too deflated to me. And our friend would meet us there, to join us while we were heading to my physio appointment. But, we had a pit-stop at Lidl first, so I could get some groceries. Our friend would stay with Koa, so that I could get my food and physio treatment without worrying about the dude. When I was done, our friend and Koa were waiting for me to come out. They'd been out for a bit of a walk, until Koa really wanted to get back to me. We headed back to a place where I could drop off our friend. The place I had in mind wasn't possible, as someone in a butt-ugly SUV tried to push Skoosh through the 30 km/h zone, and there was no space to let her out safely. We found a spot, Koa and I thanked her for her good care, and then we headed back home.
I cleaned up the groceries and fixed Koa's meal. After a little snack for me, I started preparing for bedtime. I took my meds, let Koa out into the garden, and then we went to the bedroom. I watched a bit of my series, let Koa out once more, but he was only interested in his kibble. We went to bed, and I managed to get some sleep in. When I woke up and it was time to get up again, I'd slept almost 6 hours in total. Not the worst sleep, but I had a few weird dreams, and I also could have used some better and longer sleep. Still, time to get up and start our "day".
Thanks to all for your kindness and support during my "journey through daily life" :bear_love: I really appreciate it :bear_hugs: as it helps me to keep going on bad/harder days! :bear_nuzzle:
