#Journal of a very much bläh feeling Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Wednesday, 22/07/2026).
I didn’t have a very bad night, but every time I woke up, my back was not kind to me. And I couldn’t understand why it was more sore now, as I had taken my meds, and I had used the knee pillow, and I had been up every few hours… So, yeah, when we got up, I didn’t feel too good. Unfortunately, this kinda set the tone for the rest of the day… 😢
I got up, dressed, took my meds, and prepped Koa’s meal. When he’d finished, we got to the couch, where I got my laptop, and I started on an email to my sweet friend. Somehow, I got into babbling mode, and my email got to be a bit long… So I hoped that my friend would not mind… When I sent the mail, I fixed some brekkie. Koa wanted out for a short walk, and when we got back, I finished my journal toot. It got uploaded to the usual places, and I put away the laptop.
The new electronic flyswatter, although you don’t really have to swat with it, as that would break it, is doing a good job. Maybe not great, but since I’ve had it, it managed to kill some buzzing terrorists 🦟 on its own with the cradle-UV-function. And, I have been able to “catch” a few of the bloodsuckers, and they fried with a big pop. I still have enough small lumps from all the bites they got, but hopefully, with the help of this nice “swatter”, there will be less of the beasts to pester me.
Koa and I relaxed a bit with some more Criminal Minds, and I gave Koa his frozen banana lickimat. He now knew what to expect, and dove in when he saw it. But, I felt off, like it all didn’t matter. Like it was all too much. I had all these ideas, and there was just no motivation, no energy, to get things done. Even the hugs and cuddles with Koa didn’t seem to make me feel better.
I took Koa on several walkies, got him and myself some food. But even though I felt hungry, I also felt nauseated a bit, which is not a good combination. I tried to relax as much as I could, getting to bed for a bit with my phone and tablet, trying to clear out my head. I wrote some for my blog, which was nice, but also still hard, since the bully’s remark over my posts all being AI-made clickbait slop… 😢 And yeah, I use AI made images. And, sometimes I ask AI to help me with putting texts together that I copied from different websites. But, the words, spelling mistakes, errors, and all… They are mine. The experiences, the journey I write about, it’s all real… And by dismissing it as slop, due to my image… Well, it hurt me a whole lot. I have blocked the asshat, and I know I should “just” move on, but every time I sit down to write for my blog, something in the back of my head goes “why make the effort, it’s slop anyway”. 😭
I didn’t do too much today. I felt bad, I had issues with my temperature, as one moment I was all sweaty, and the next, I felt so cold. I wanted to just confine myself to a dark and quiet place, and wait for it all to “pass by”, and I could feel better again. Which, of course, wasn’t possible, as I had to care for Koa. So, I did my best, and I think Koa thought it was OK enough, as he kept giving me all the nibbles and kisses… Some nibbles did hurt, but yeah… I wanted to be there for Koa, so I tried to do the best I could…
After some time, Koa and I just went to bed, and I think Koa noticed I needed some rest, because he was snoozing before I knew it. It took me a little while to doze off. About 90 minutes later, Koa woke me up with a bark. I let him out, and he had a bit to drink. He went outside, but didn’t seem too interested in doing anything more than cuddling and sniffing. So, after a few minutes, we got back to bed again.
A few hours later, Koa woke me up again, and now, he needed a wee. After a bit, we got back to bed. Unfortunately, I only got about an hour more sleep in, as then a buzzing terrorist decided that buzzing around my head was a good idea… I tried to wave him towards the UV, but no such luck. So, after about 6 hours of sleep, we got up, and we started 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:

Good evening Squirrel Fans.
It has to be said that, as a teenager, I was a world class twerp! :-
“That was always the dream, wasn't it? 'I wish I'd known then what I know now'? But when you got older you found out that you NOW wasn't YOU then. You then was a twerp. You then was what you had to be to start out on the rocky road of becoming you now, and one of the rocky patches on that road was being a twerp.”
― Terry Pratchett, Night WatchRight still in the somewhat dodgy world of industrial espionage - a few more missions yet before I get my stealth suit!
I have got a new natty new business suit though!
Catch you fab folk on the morrow!
Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you’re well & safe! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖

#Journal of a slightly positive Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Tuesday, 21/07/2026).
After a not too bad night, we got up and started our day as usual. Well, I haven’t been using the scale a lot lately. It’s hard to stand still on it for a while, and I am afraid of what it will show me when I do use it… But, Koa and I got up, and we started our “day”. Just the usual bits, like getting dressed, taking meds, feeling the wild idiot, hihi. After that, we headed to the couch, where I got my laptop, and I started my email to my very sweet friend.
When I had finished it, I got some brekkie, and I started on my journal toot. Koa wanted to go out, so we went for a short walk, and then we got back, and I finished up with the journal bit. I uploaded it to all the usual places, and then I worked a bit on two new blog entries. It felt good to have some more posts done, as I was “running out” of scheduled posts. And I would hate to break my awesome daily posting streak… So, to have two more posts lined up, yeah, that made me feel a wee bit better. After that, I put away the laptop, and I tried to relax for a bit.
Koa was a bit restless, and he wanted to go out. I went into the garden with him, and while I sat down, I saw something white fall from his mouth. He wanted to grab it, and I asked him to let it go, so I could get it. And, above all my expectations, he moved away and let it be! When I picked it up, it was one of his puppy molars… That would explain the whining and being more restless. He was busy with losing more of his teefs. He already lost one molar, but I didn’t get that one.
We got back inside, and we tried to relax for a bit. Koa struggled a bit with the whole relaxing thing, but, after a little while, he managed to settle down, finally… So, we relaxed for a while, We went out for another short walk, and we relaxed again. Koa was really struggling with his teefs, so, I gave him his first frozen banana lickimat. I had no idea if he would like it but, once he tried it, and realized that he liked it a lot, and he attacked it like a mad puppy! I guess you could call it a big hit. And it helped him to cool his mouth a bit, which was a plus as well. Guess I will need to start getting some more bananas…
I made Koa some food, and then we went out for a little longer walk. When we got back, I got Koa in his crate, and I went upstairs to ride my bike for a while. Koa protested a bit at first, but only a wee bit, and then he settled down for a snooze. I managed to get a half hour ride in. Then, I went back downstairs, and I fixed some food. We went for a short walk after that.
When we got back, I texted my neighbor, and I asked her if she’d be interested in walking to the supermarket with Koa and me. We set up to go together around 9. Just before that, Koa needed a wee, so I got my bag and things, and Koa and I went to the grassy field. When our neighbor came, we set off to the store.
She went in first, and I got my things after that. On the way back, she held Koa, so I could relax a bit with the groceries on my back. When we got back, I cleaned up the groceries, and Koa and I relaxed for a bit. I turned on the doorbell, and checked the estimated delivery time on Koa’s food, and my electronic flyswatter. Ow, and the Blu-rays of Shaun the Sheep… Hihi…
I gave Koa his snufflemat, and we waited for a bit. I managed to clean up a bit of my bedroom, making more space for Koa’s big crate. The delivery came, and after that, Koa and I went out for another walk. When we got back, I prepped things to relax on bed for a while. I wanted to charge the swatter, and I saw a buzzing terrorist in my bedroom. With some effort, I climbed on my bed, and turned on the swatter. And with a big bang, the little terrorist was fried!
Koa had his meal, and we went into the garden for a bit. Then, we got ready to head to bed. I spent some time watching Criminal Minds, and when my meds were kicking in, I got my Kobo and fell asleep while reading.
A big bang woke me up, and I realized that the new swatter had just fried a terrorist on its own, which was wonderful. One less bloodsucker to worry about. I got back to sleep, and woke up when Koa barked. I took him outside, but he seemed more interested in getting a bit to drink than in getting some drinks out… He went back to the crate, and I went back to bed.
When I woke up again, Koa was still snoozing. But my back was killing me, and I had to get up and start moving around. Koa woke up too, and we both started our routine, as we started our “day” a little earlier, due to my back.
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:

#Journal of a slightly positive Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Tuesday, 21/07/2026).
After a not too bad night, we got up and started our day as usual. Well, I haven’t been using the scale a lot lately. It’s hard to stand still on it for a while, and I am afraid of what it will show me when I do use it… But, Koa and I got up, and we started our “day”. Just the usual bits, like getting dressed, taking meds, feeling the wild idiot, hihi. After that, we headed to the couch, where I got my laptop, and I started my email to my very sweet friend.
When I had finished it, I got some brekkie, and I started on my journal toot. Koa wanted to go out, so we went for a short walk, and then we got back, and I finished up with the journal bit. I uploaded it to all the usual places, and then I worked a bit on two new blog entries. It felt good to have some more posts done, as I was “running out” of scheduled posts. And I would hate to break my awesome daily posting streak… So, to have two more posts lined up, yeah, that made me feel a wee bit better. After that, I put away the laptop, and I tried to relax for a bit.
Koa was a bit restless, and he wanted to go out. I went into the garden with him, and while I sat down, I saw something white fall from his mouth. He wanted to grab it, and I asked him to let it go, so I could get it. And, above all my expectations, he moved away and let it be! When I picked it up, it was one of his puppy molars… That would explain the whining and being more restless. He was busy with losing more of his teefs. He already lost one molar, but I didn’t get that one.
We got back inside, and we tried to relax for a bit. Koa struggled a bit with the whole relaxing thing, but, after a little while, he managed to settle down, finally… So, we relaxed for a while, We went out for another short walk, and we relaxed again. Koa was really struggling with his teefs, so, I gave him his first frozen banana lickimat. I had no idea if he would like it but, once he tried it, and realized that he liked it a lot, and he attacked it like a mad puppy! I guess you could call it a big hit. And it helped him to cool his mouth a bit, which was a plus as well. Guess I will need to start getting some more bananas…
I made Koa some food, and then we went out for a little longer walk. When we got back, I got Koa in his crate, and I went upstairs to ride my bike for a while. Koa protested a bit at first, but only a wee bit, and then he settled down for a snooze. I managed to get a half hour ride in. Then, I went back downstairs, and I fixed some food. We went for a short walk after that.
When we got back, I texted my neighbor, and I asked her if she’d be interested in walking to the supermarket with Koa and me. We set up to go together around 9. Just before that, Koa needed a wee, so I got my bag and things, and Koa and I went to the grassy field. When our neighbor came, we set off to the store.
She went in first, and I got my things after that. On the way back, she held Koa, so I could relax a bit with the groceries on my back. When we got back, I cleaned up the groceries, and Koa and I relaxed for a bit. I turned on the doorbell, and checked the estimated delivery time on Koa’s food, and my electronic flyswatter. Ow, and the Blu-rays of Shaun the Sheep… Hihi…
I gave Koa his snufflemat, and we waited for a bit. I managed to clean up a bit of my bedroom, making more space for Koa’s big crate. The delivery came, and after that, Koa and I went out for another walk. When we got back, I prepped things to relax on bed for a while. I wanted to charge the swatter, and I saw a buzzing terrorist in my bedroom. With some effort, I climbed on my bed, and turned on the swatter. And with a big bang, the little terrorist was fried!

Good evening Squirrel Fans.
For all those who ever wondered what exactly happened to sll their ballpoints :-
“Somewhere in the cosmos, he said, along with all the planets inhabited by humanoids, reptiloids, fishoids, walking treeoids and superintelligent shades of the color blue, there was also a planet entirely given over to ballpoint life forms. And it was to this planet that unattended ballpoints would make their way, slipping away quietly through wormholes in space to a world where they knew they could enjoy a uniquely ballpointoid lifestyle, responding to highly ballpoint-oriented stimuli, and generally leading the ballpoint equivalent of the good life.”

#Journal of a slightly relaxed Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Monday, 20/07/2026).
Koa and I had gone to bed early, as we were just beat from the visit to the Herperduin. We had a few interruptions for potty breaks, both for Koa and for me, but in the end, my watch tells me that I managed to sleep for about 8 hours. We got up a bit earlier than usual though, as we’d gone to bed earlier too. This threw me off a little with my usual routine swing, but I managed to make it work.
We got up, and I got dressed. I took my meds, fed Koa, and we went to the couch where I grabbed my laptop. I started with an email to my sweet friend. When I was finished, I grabbed some brekkie. I started writing my journal toot, and then Koa wanted out for a little walk. When we got back, I got back to the laptop, and I finished the journal entry. I uploaded it to all the usual places. And I took some screengrabs from yesterday’s video, so that I could use some for my journal blog post.
While I was working on the pictures, I realized something that made me sob… The first time I ever took Arwen to the Herperduin, it was on July 19, 2024… And now, without realizing it, the first time ever I took Koa to the Herperduin… Was exactly two years later, on July 19, 2026. I don’t know why, but it made me cry so much. Heck, even mentioning it here now… Is making me tear up again.
When I finished the bits and bops, I put away the laptop, and I tried to relax for a while with some Criminal Minds. After some time, Koa woke up again, and we went out for another short walk. After that, I wanted to ride my bike for a while. But, Koa wasn’t too keen on that, and I had to stop after 17 minutes, as I didn’t want him to bark too much during the night.
I fixed Koa some food. I tried to relax for a bit again, as I was struggling to take Koa out for the longer walk. I don’t know why it felt so hard to take him out, it was just… Like it was the worst weather every, and I didn’t want to go out in it… But, the weather was wonderful for a little walk, and it was just me being silly for some reason. In the end, I managed to get off the couch, and Koa and I had a lovely walk together.
When we got back, I managed to clean up a bit of mess that had been annoying me for some time. I still have a lot to do, but I am hoping that I can manage to get it done, bit by bit. When I was done, I got the little vacuum cleaner, and I tried to do a quick “run” around the downstairs area. Koa was very helpful, and tried to bite in the shaft of the little vacuum. It was funny, but also a bit annoying, as it made it harder for me (and my back) to get the stuff done. In the end, there was quite a bit of sand and hair in the little bin, so even the “quick run around” had helped to make things a bit more clean.
Then it was time to head to the supermarket. I got a few things, and got back soon again. I walked with Koa, and then we waited for my coach to come over. When she arrived, we chatted a bit, and then we called the rental building coop, to arrange for some repairs to be done in the house soon. We managed to get things sorted, and then we took out Koa for a little walk. We discussed some things for the next week, and then she headed to the next client. Koa and I relaxed for a while, and I fixed some food.
Koa and I went to bed for a little while. Not to sleep, but to relax my back, as it wasn’t too pleased with me. After a little while, we got back up. I fixed some food for my boy, and we went out for a last walk. After that, we did get ready to head to bed. It was a bit early, but my back didn’t stop complaining, and I just had to lay down and be able to relax my back.
I finally managed to finish a book that I had been reading for almost 2 months now. Somehow, it seemed like the pages in the book weren’t correct, as I felt I was never getting to the ending of it. It wasn’t a bad book at all! I struggled with concentration, and I had fallen asleep with my tablet a little more than that I had been reading. After a while, I finally felt relaxed enough, and I was able to doze off.
I woke up once for the loo, and Koa told me he needed to go out. But, he only wanted to drink, and not do anything outside. I waited for a bit, but I got so tired, that we went back to bed again. And… Koa let me sleep for several more hours! When he woke me up again, we got up, and we started our “day”. According to my watch, I had slept for about 7¼ hours in total, so not too bad at all.
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:

We got up, and I got dressed. I took my meds, fed Koa, and we went to the couch where I grabbed my laptop. I started with an email to my sweet friend. When I was finished, I grabbed some brekkie. I started writing my journal toot, and then Koa wanted out for a little walk. When we got back, I got back to the laptop, and I finished the journal entry. I uploaded it to all the usual places. And I took some screengrabs from yesterday’s video, so that I could use some for my journal blog post.
While I was working on the pictures, I realized something that made me sob… The first time I ever took Arwen to the Herperduin, it was on July 19, 2024… And now, without realizing it, the first time ever I took Koa to the Herperduin… Was exactly two years later, on July 19, 2026. I don’t know why, but it made me cry so much. Heck, even mentioning it here now… Is making me tear up again.
When I finished the bits and bops, I put away the laptop, and I tried to relax for a while with some Criminal Minds. After some time, Koa woke up again, and we went out for another short walk. After that, I wanted to ride my bike for a while. But, Koa wasn’t too keen on that, and I had to stop after 17 minutes, as I didn’t want him to bark too much during the night.
I fixed Koa some food. I tried to relax for a bit again, as I was struggling to take Koa out for the longer walk. I don’t know why it felt so hard to take him out, it was just… Like it was the worst weather every, and I didn’t want to go out in it… But, the weather was wonderful for a little walk, and it was just me being silly for some reason. In the end, I managed to get off the couch, and Koa and I had a lovely walk together.
When we got back, I managed to clean up a bit of mess that had been annoying me for some time. I still have a lot to do, but I am hoping that I can manage to get it done, bit by bit. When I was done, I got the little vacuum cleaner, and I tried to do a quick “run” around the downstairs area. Koa was very helpful, and tried to bite in the shaft of the little vacuum. It was funny, but also a bit annoying, as it made it harder for me (and my back) to get the stuff done. In the end, there was quite a bit of sand and hair in the little bin, so even the “quick run around” had helped to make things a bit more clean.
Then it was time to head to the supermarket. I got a few things, and got back soon again. I walked with Koa, and then we waited for my coach to come over. When she arrived, we chatted a bit, and then we called the rental building coop, to arrange for some repairs to be done in the house soon. We managed to get things sorted, and then we took out Koa for a little walk. We discussed some things for the next week, and then she headed to the next client. Koa and I relaxed for a while, and I fixed some food.
Koa and I went to bed for a little while. Not to sleep, but to relax my back, as it wasn’t too pleased with me. After a little while, we got back up. I fixed some food for my boy, and we went out for a last walk. After that, we did get ready to head to bed. It was a bit early, but my back didn’t stop complaining, and I just had to lay down and be able to relax my back.
I finally managed to finish a book that I had been reading for almost 2 months now. Somehow, it seemed like the pages in the book weren’t correct, as I felt I was never getting to the ending of it. It wasn’t a bad book at all! I struggled with concentration, and I had fallen asleep with my tablet a little more than that I had been reading. After a while, I finally felt relaxed enough, and I was able to doze off.
I woke up once for the loo, and Koa told me he needed to go out. But, he only wanted to drink, and not do anything outside. I waited for a bit, but I got so tired, that we went back to bed again. And… Koa let me sleep for several more hours! When he woke me up again, we got up, and we started our “day”. According to my watch, I had slept for about 7¼ hours in total, so not too bad at all.
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:

#Journal of a slightly enthusiastic Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Sunday, 19/07/2026).
Saturday had left me exhausted, and I think Koa knew this, because we had a long sleep. There were a few interruptions for potty breaks, but in the end, according to my watch, I had slept for 9¾ hours in total. Which is huge, at least to me, and it took me a bit to get up from bed in the end, as I was sore, and my meds had ended, so my back was extra sore. But, my head felt rather well, which was something I needed after yesterday’s meltdown.
I got up, dressed, took my meds, and fed my little dude. We went to the couch, where I got my laptop, and I started writing an email to my sweet friend. After I had finished that, I made myself some brekkie, while I started writing my journal toot. Koa wanted out for a short walk, so we did that, and then I got back to finishing the journal toot. I uploaded it to all the usual places, and then I got a bit stressed, as I saw that I barely have any posts scheduled on my blog left. I have a few I am working on, but I don’t want to rush them. I also don’t want to break my posting streak, as I am super proud of it! I’ve been sharing a post every day for 2.225 days now (which is roughly 6 years and one month). And I am not posting just anything to keep the streak going, I want to post real things, posts that matter to me. So, I hope that soon, my brain will be “in the zone” again, to get some more posts worked on, and scheduled for release.
When I was done with the journal toot, and I had worked a bit on another blog post, I put away the laptop, and tried to relax a bit with some telly. Koa and I relaxed for a while, and I shared some screengrabs from a video I took of Koa, playing with the water hose, yesterday. When I was done, Koa was eager for walkies. The weather was nice, and we walked the longer route. When we got back, I fixed food for both Koa and me. After that, I headed upstairs, and I rode the bike for half an hour. Koa was not in his crate, so I kept an ear out while I was riding. But, when I got back down, he was snoozing peacefully, and then told me he wanted out again.
After a short walk, I got my laptop. I checked how far the water at the Herperduin was from the parking, to see if it would be too far for Koa. I asked my mum, and we made plans to take the boys to the Herperduin later that morning. I relaxed for a while, took Koa for another short walk, and then we relaxed some more. Mum texted earlier than expected that she and Bas were on their way. So, I took an extra painkiller, and Koa and I got ready for walkies. When mum and Bas arrived, we got in Skoosh, and we were on our way.
Koa was very enthusiastic, and he kept pulling the leash, like he knew where to go. When we got to the waterside, Koa tried to rush me to it. I tried to capture it with my phone, while also trying to keep up with the little dude. While he didn’t jump into the water like a mad-man, he did enjoy a few little splashes. After some time, we got to a bench, and we relaxed for a little while, before we made the journey back to Skoosh.
We got back home, mum and the dogs had a bit to drink, and then mum took Bas home again. Koa and I had a meal, and we relaxed for a while. But, I was so tired, that after a bit, we just got ready to head to bed. After some time, Koa already dozed off, and before I knew it, I was struggling to keep reading, and I dozed off too…
I woke up for the loo, and then when Koa woke me up for his loo break. When I woke up again, it was still a bit earlier than usual, but my body was done with being in bed, and I had to go to the loo again, so in the end, I just got up and started my “day”. According to my watch, I got about 8 hours of sleep in, in total, so it wasn’t that bad at all…
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:

When I woke up again, it was still a bit earlier than usual, but my body was done with being in bed, and I had to go to the loo again, so in the end, I just got up and started my “day”. According to my watch, I got about 8 hours of sleep in, in total, so it wasn’t that bad at all…
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:

#Journal of a slightly enthusiastic Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Sunday, 19/07/2026).
Saturday had left me exhausted, and I think Koa knew this, because we had a long sleep. There were a few interruptions for potty breaks, but in the end, according to my watch, I had slept for 9¾ hours in total. Which is huge, at least to me, and it took me a bit to get up from bed in the end, as I was sore, and my meds had ended, so my back was extra sore. But, my head felt rather well, which was something I needed after yesterday’s meltdown.
I got up, dressed, took my meds, and fed my little dude. We went to the couch, where I got my laptop, and I started writing an email to my sweet friend. After I had finished that, I made myself some brekkie, while I started writing my journal toot. Koa wanted out for a short walk, so we did that, and then I got back to finishing the journal toot. I uploaded it to all the usual places, and then I got a bit stressed, as I saw that I barely have any posts scheduled on my blog left. I have a few I am working on, but I don’t want to rush them. I also don’t want to break my posting streak, as I am super proud of it! I’ve been sharing a post every day for 2.225 days now (which is roughly 6 years and one month). And I am not posting just anything to keep the streak going, I want to post real things, posts that matter to me. So, I hope that soon, my brain will be “in the zone” again, to get some more posts worked on, and scheduled for release.
When I was done with the journal toot, and I had worked a bit on another blog post, I put away the laptop, and tried to relax a bit with some telly. Koa and I relaxed for a while, and I shared some screengrabs from a video I took of Koa, playing with the water hose, yesterday. When I was done, Koa was eager for walkies. The weather was nice, and we walked the longer route. When we got back, I fixed food for both Koa and me. After that, I headed upstairs, and I rode the bike for half an hour. Koa was not in his crate, so I kept an ear out while I was riding. But, when I got back down, he was snoozing peacefully, and then told me he wanted out again.
After a short walk, I got my laptop. I checked how far the water at the Herperduin was from the parking, to see if it would be too far for Koa. I asked my mum, and we made plans to take the boys to the Herperduin later that morning. I relaxed for a while, took Koa for another short walk, and then we relaxed some more. Mum texted earlier than expected that she and Bas were on their way. So, I took an extra painkiller, and Koa and I got ready for walkies. When mum and Bas arrived, we got in Skoosh, and we were on our way.
Koa was very enthusiastic, and he kept pulling the leash, like he knew where to go. When we got to the waterside, Koa tried to rush me to it. I tried to capture it with my phone, while also trying to keep up with the little dude. While he didn’t jump into the water like a mad-man, he did enjoy a few little splashes. After some time, we got to a bench, and we relaxed for a little while, before we made the journey back to Skoosh.
We got back home, mum and the dogs had a bit to drink, and then mum took Bas home again. Koa and I had a meal, and we relaxed for a while. But, I was so tired, that after a bit, we just got ready to head to bed. After some time, Koa already dozed off, and before I knew it, I was struggling to keep reading, and I dozed off too…

CW: I had an autistic meltdown, of which I'm a tad ashamed... 😔 But nothing too bad happened... Still, it's a bit of a longer Toot, and it has the meltdown in it, so I added the CW. 😊
#Journal of an ashamed Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Saturday, 18/07/2026).
We didn’t have the worst night, but I didn’t feel all rested and good when we got up. Still, Koa told me it was time, so we started our “day”. I got to the scale, which was less bad than I thought it would be, and I dressed. I took my meds, which were very much welcome, and then I fixed Koa’s meal. When Koa had a full belly, we got to the couch, where I grabbed my laptop, and I started an email to my sweet friend.
I finished the email to my friend, and I had some brekkie. I started on my journal toot, and then I took Koa out for a short walk. It was cooler again outside, which was very nice indeed. We got back to the couch, where I finished my journal post, and I shared it to all the usual places. I put the laptop away, and tried to relax for a while.
I felt a bit uneasy, like something was bothering me, and I didn’t know what. Koa started to behave a bit like an asshat, trying to steal all sorts of things, and it was bugging me a lot. When he finally settled down again, I went upstairs to ride the bike for a while. Which went well enough. I got back down, and took Koa for a longer walk.
I noticed I was a bit more annoyed with him when he was not following properly, or trying to put everything in his mouth, you know, puppy behavior. And I just could not understand why it triggered me so much this time. I just thought it was because my back was still troubling me, and I felt tired as well. We got back, and then I fixed some food for Koa.
After that, I needed to relax for a bit. But… Koa was doing all sorts of things, and it triggered me so much, that I snapped. I felt that I was getting too angry, and I managed to pick up Koa and put him in the crate. But there was some yelling, I did smash a door, and I cried so much… I was just so overwhelmed, and I needed to take myself out of the situation, but I couldn’t as there was no one to “take over from me”, so I needed to fix things first… I felt so much anger, so much fear, and I knew I had to find a way to calm down again. I am glad, in a way, that I recognize autistic meltdowns better now, and I kinda know how to deal with them. But… Once I am calmer, I feel such a pain and shame…
I know that Koa wasn’t harmed, but I know I must have scared him, and I hated myself so much for that. I even tear up again while I am writing this. When I was calm again, when I had been able to breathe in and out, and reflect on the meltdown, I took Koa from the crate. He jumped into my arms, and he started to lick away all the tears that were falling… I felt so bad, so guilty, so horrible… And here he was. Just shy of 5 months, comforting me, not blaming me for anything… So I cuddled him as best as I could, while his fur was slowly getting wet and all. I was so grateful as I felt like he was forgiving me, maybe even apologizing for doing the things that made me so overwhelmed to begin with.
I started to feel a bit better again, and I took Koa out for a little walk. We got back, we relaxed, and then we got ready to drive to Oss, where I had to pick up my parcel. We arrived there well enough, but it was such a mess, that I had no idea what to do. I took Koa, and we walked to one of the men loading a van, and I just asked. My heart was going crazy, guess I still had not calmed down all the way from this morning’s bad episode. But, the man pointed me in the right direction with a smile. A little while further, 5 men were having some fun together, and all together, they pointed me into the same direction, all smiling, but also aware of the little bouncy dog that was with me. I managed to get my parcel, and Koa and I headed home again.
I unpacked the package, and took out the inlays. I cut them to the right size for my new shoes, and I saw that my old inlays were as dead as my old shoes. I put in the new ones, and then I fixed some food. A parcel with some snacks for Koa was being delivered, just before my food was done. I enjoyed my meal, unpacked Koa’s snacks, and saw they sent me something I didn’t order. It was something I could use, so yeah, I will just keep it. But I will need to find a place to order the things I do need now… So that’s some extra costs again, while the funds are not that high…
Koa and I relaxed for a while, and we went out for one more walk. Then, we headed to bed. I wanted to relax for a while, but I noticed I was so tired, that I dozed off before I knew it. I didn’t even get to finish my book, a Grisham one, that seems to take me forever to finish. Somehow, I have been trying to finish it for almost 2 months now. I wonder if I am slower with reading, if it’s a bigger book (and the digital pages are misleading, as they sometimes can be), or if I am just less interested in reading the last few weeks… But yeah, I dozed off and slept for a while.
I woke up for the loo, and Koa and I went outside. But, Koa wasn’t interested in doing anything, so after some minutes, we went back to bed. Koa woke me up for a potty break, and then, we got back to bed. He made some noises, but I begged him for some more sleep. And, somehow, he allowed me just that. When I woke up again, I was startled when I saw the clock. I checked my watch, and according to it, I had slept about 9¾ hours in total! Koa was very excited to hear me getting up, and I felt sore from the long lie in, but I also felt a bit more relaxed from the longer sleep. So, Koa and I got up, and we started our “day”.

I noticed I was a bit more annoyed with him when he was not following properly, or trying to put everything in his mouth, you know, puppy behavior. And I just could not understand why it triggered me so much this time. I just thought it was because my back was still troubling me, and I felt tired as well. We got back, and then I fixed some food for Koa.
After that, I needed to relax for a bit. But… Koa was doing all sorts of things, and it triggered me so much, that I snapped. I felt that I was getting too angry, and I managed to pick up Koa and put him in the crate. But there was some yelling, I did smash a door, and I cried so much… I was just so overwhelmed, and I needed to take myself out of the situation, but I couldn’t as there was no one to “take over from me”, so I needed to fix things first… I felt so much anger, so much fear, and I knew I had to find a way to calm down again. I am glad, in a way, that I recognize autistic meltdowns better now, and I kinda know how to deal with them. But… Once I am calmer, I feel such a pain and shame…
I know that Koa wasn’t harmed, but I know I must have scared him, and I hated myself so much for that. I even tear up again while I am writing this. When I was calm again, when I had been able to breathe in and out, and reflect on the meltdown, I took Koa from the crate. He jumped into my arms, and he started to lick away all the tears that were falling… I felt so bad, so guilty, so horrible… And here he was. Just shy of 5 months, comforting me, not blaming me for anything… So I cuddled him as best as I could, while his fur was slowly getting wet and all. I was so grateful as I felt like he was forgiving me, maybe even apologizing for doing the things that made me so overwhelmed to begin with.
I started to feel a bit better again, and I took Koa out for a little walk. We got back, we relaxed, and then we got ready to drive to Oss, where I had to pick up my parcel. We arrived there well enough, but it was such a mess, that I had no idea what to do. I took Koa, and we walked to one of the men loading a van, and I just asked. My heart was going crazy, guess I still had not calmed down all the way from this morning’s bad episode. But, the man pointed me in the right direction with a smile. A little while further, 5 men were having some fun together, and all together, they pointed me into the same direction, all smiling, but also aware of the little bouncy dog that was with me. I managed to get my parcel, and Koa and I headed home again.
I unpacked the package, and took out the inlays. I cut them to the right size for my new shoes, and I saw that my old inlays were as dead as my old shoes. I put in the new ones, and then I fixed some food. A parcel with some snacks for Koa was being delivered, just before my food was done. I enjoyed my meal, unpacked Koa’s snacks, and saw they sent me something I didn’t order. It was something I could use, so yeah, I will just keep it. But I will need to find a place to order the things I do need now… So that’s some extra costs again, while the funds are not that high…
Koa and I relaxed for a while, and we went out for one more walk. Then, we headed to bed. I wanted to relax for a while, but I noticed I was so tired, that I dozed off before I knew it. I didn’t even get to finish my book, a Grisham one, that seems to take me forever to finish. Somehow, I have been trying to finish it for almost 2 months now. I wonder if I am slower with reading, if it’s a bigger book (and the digital pages are misleading, as they sometimes can be), or if I am just less interested in reading the last few weeks… But yeah, I dozed off and slept for a while.
I woke up for the loo, and Koa and I went outside. But, Koa wasn’t interested in doing anything, so after some minutes, we went back to bed. Koa woke me up for a potty break, and then, we got back to bed. He made some noises, but I begged him for some more sleep. And, somehow, he allowed me just that. When I woke up again, I was startled when I saw the clock. I checked my watch, and according to it, I had slept about 9¾ hours in total! Koa was very excited to hear me getting up, and I felt sore from the long lie in, but I also felt a bit more relaxed from the longer sleep. So, Koa and I got up, and we started 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:

CW: I had an autistic meltdown, of which I'm a tad ashamed... 😔 But nothing too bad happened... Still, it's a bit of a longer Toot, and it has the meltdown in it, so I added the CW. 😊
#Journal of an ashamed Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Saturday, 18/07/2026).
We didn’t have the worst night, but I didn’t feel all rested and good when we got up. Still, Koa told me it was time, so we started our “day”. I got to the scale, which was less bad than I thought it would be, and I dressed. I took my meds, which were very much welcome, and then I fixed Koa’s meal. When Koa had a full belly, we got to the couch, where I grabbed my laptop, and I started an email to my sweet friend.
I finished the email to my friend, and I had some brekkie. I started on my journal toot, and then I took Koa out for a short walk. It was cooler again outside, which was very nice indeed. We got back to the couch, where I finished my journal post, and I shared it to all the usual places. I put the laptop away, and tried to relax for a while.
I felt a bit uneasy, like something was bothering me, and I didn’t know what. Koa started to behave a bit like an asshat, trying to steal all sorts of things, and it was bugging me a lot.

Good evening Squirrel Fans.
Tonight’s quote seemed apt for our friends across the pond - the only differences being that, their choice has the dress sense of stunned banana & they have singularly failed to imprison the current incumbent even though they did convict them of 30 plus felonies! However on the drawing attention front there is little doubt they have a winner! :-
“The President in particular is very much a figurehead — he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it. On those criteria Zaphod Beeblebrox is one of the most successful Presidents the Galaxy has ever had — he has already spent two of his ten presidential years in prison for fraud.”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the GalaxyRight, took down the gang I have been chasing the last few days. Now the only thing left is to go get the corrupt official who (inevitably) was behind it!
Catch you fab folk on the other side!
Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you’re well & safe! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖
