    Tonights quote sums up my feelings about being somewhat chonky perfectly - also why I am back in the gym tomorrow! :-

    “Having to haul around extra poundage was far too much effort, so he saw to it that he never put it on and he kept himself in trim because doing things with decent muscles was far less effort than trying to achieve things with bags of flab.”
    ― Terry Pratchett, Moving Pictures

  6. CW: Nothing really triggering bad, but a bit long journal Toot, where I write about some struggles with Koa... But the CW should save some folks from scrolling too much 😇

    #Journal of a worried Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Saturday, 22/08/2026).

    After a bit of a mixed night, Koa woke me up again, and informed me that it was time for us to start our “day”. I fixed Koa’s food, took me meds, got dressed, and then, we headed to the couch. While I was busy, trying to write an answer email to my sweet friend. While I was busy typing, Koa was busy chewing on one of his snacks. And yes, I checked to make sure if it was a snack, and not something else he was secretly trying to destroy.

    At some point, I heard Koa gobbling up his snack too quickly, and I think it got stuck in his throat for a while. Koa was stressed, and he drank almost all of his water-bowl in one go. He was panting, whining a bit, and constantly grabbing for my hand. I did my best to check his mouth and throat, and I could find nothing stuck somewhere. So I thought that the last bit of the snack had been stuck for a little while, which caused him the distress. As it took some time for Koa to settle down, I texted a dear friend that I was worried about him.

    The panting got less, he had a normal pee and poop, he was able to eat without any visible issues. The only thing that remained, was the occasional sad whining. But the difficult thing was/is, that Koa has always been a bit of a whiner, ever since he came to live with me (probably due to his ears). So I had no idea what these whines were about, making me worry all through the night.

    After I finished the email to my friend, I took Koa out for walkies. He did all the usual things in his normal ways. But, when we got back, there were moments again where Koa let out some of his sad whines. I made and ate my brekkie, and then I started writing my blog post for that day. Koa seemed to relax a bit more. But, every time he whined a bit again, I felt it through and through. I felt so helpless, as I felt like he was dealing with some sort of discomfort, and I just wanted him to feel better again, but I didn’t know how to help him.

    I scheduled the blog post, walked another short round with Koa, and fed him his meal. I watched him closely, and I saw no issues with his eating. But shortly after he finished, he lay down, and there was some whining again. I tried to comfort him every time when he whined, but I still felt like I should be doing more to help him feel better.

    I started writing my journal toot, but my hands were tired, and I had to take it easy for a bit. I fixed some food, and when I had enjoyed it, Koa wanted out for another walk. After the walk, I tried to relax a bit, until our friend was coming. She texted that she was on her way, but Koa hinted that he needed to go out. I texted our friend that we were heading out for a short walk, and just as Koa and I were heading out the door, our friend walked up to our home.

    We went for a little walk, which seemed to make Koa happy. We talked about what happened with Koa during the night. Our friend observed Koa for a while, and of course, Koa didn’t show any of the signs, as he was too excited of her visiting us. She checked some of the things that I had observed with Koa with some info she found online.

    The trouble is, that I don’t really have a “natural baseline” for Koa. When he came to me, he whined every now and then. But, it was stressful, being away from his family. And, when he moved into my home, he already had some issues with some ear wax. So, he could have been dealing with his ears already then. He never completely stopped the occasional whining, but then, his ears weren’t being treated yet, as I didn’t know that he was suffering from the infections. So, it’s making it very hard for me to know the actual reasons for his whining. He doesn’t do it all the time, and he’s not really showing any other clear signs that he’s in some sort of discomfort.

    It’s also harder for us to really find out what Koa is dealing with, as he never showed any of the clear signs of dealing with ear infections, except maybe the little whines, so there are no diminishing signs to show us that the treatment is working. And… He will be 6 months in a few days time, so there is so much happening in his body and mind. He’s still growing, so there’s always a chance of growing pains. He’s hitting puberty, so that means a lot of changes too. And, if he has been dealing with his ears since he was just a wee lad, then it will be strange to him what could be happening to his ears now, as the meds are (hopefully) destroying the infections.

    We tried to find out all we could, and the answers we found were good, but inconclusive, as we can’t be sure of any of it. There are moments where I wish dogs could just talk to us with words. So Koa could tell me why he keeps whining every now and then, so I could make sure to do anything possible to help him feel better again.

    My friend joined us for a nice walk, and then she got ready to head back home again. Of course, within a few minutes, Koa lay himself down again, and did the little sad whiney thing again. I tried to capture it on video, so I could share it with our friend. When she heard some of the little whines, she understood why they worried me some. So I’ll just keep monitoring Koa as best as I can, so I can give him the best support.

    Koa had his meal, I had a snack, and then I got everything ready so we could head to bed. It took me quite a while to get comfortable enough to doze off, as my hand was being annoying. When I was finally snoozing, Koa woke me up to get a drink, and go potty. We went back to bed after that, and I managed to get some sleep, until Koa woke me up again. We went outside, Koa did his thing, and back to bed again. Koa whined a bit again, and I checked the clock, and told Koa I needed a bit more sleep. And, for some magical reason, he stopped whining, and we dozed off again. An hour later, Koa told me that it was, in fact, now time to get up. So I did, 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:

He was panting, whining a bit, and constantly grabbing for my hand. I did my best to check his mouth and throat, and I could find nothing stuck somewhere. So I thought that the last bit of the snack had been stuck for a little while, which caused him the distress. As it took some time for Koa to settle down, I texted a dear friend that I was worried about him.

    The panting got less, he had a normal pee and poop, he was able to eat without any visible issues. The only thing that remained, was the occasional sad whining. But the difficult thing was/is, that Koa has always been a bit of a whiner, ever since he came to live with me (probably due to his ears). So I had no idea what these whines were about, making me worry all through the night.

    After I finished the email to my friend, I took Koa out for walkies. He did all the usual things in his normal ways. But, when we got back, there were moments again where Koa let out some of his sad whines. I made and ate my brekkie, and then I started writing my blog post for that day. Koa seemed to relax a bit more. But, every time he whined a bit again, I felt it through and through. I felt so helpless, as I felt like he was dealing with some sort of discomfort, and I just wanted him to feel better again, but I didn’t know how to help him.

    I scheduled the blog post, walked another short round with Koa, and fed him his meal. I watched him closely, and I saw no issues with his eating. But shortly after he finished, he lay down, and there was some whining again. I tried to comfort him every time when he whined, but I still felt like I should be doing more to help him feel better.

    I started writing my journal toot, but my hands were tired, and I had to take it easy for a bit. I fixed some food, and when I had enjoyed it, Koa wanted out for another walk. After the walk, I tried to relax a bit, until our friend was coming. She texted that she was on her way, but Koa hinted that he needed to go out. I texted our friend that we were heading out for a short walk, and just as Koa and I were heading out the door, our friend walked up to our home.

    We went for a little walk, which seemed to make Koa happy. We talked about what happened with Koa during the night. Our friend observed Koa for a while, and of course, Koa didn’t show any of the signs, as he was too excited of her visiting us. She checked some of the things that I had observed with Koa with some info she found online.

    The trouble is, that I don’t really have a “natural baseline” for Koa. When he came to me, he whined every now and then. But, it was stressful, being away from his family. And, when he moved into my home, he already had some issues with some ear wax. So, he could have been dealing with his ears already then. He never completely stopped the occasional whining, but then, his ears weren’t being treated yet, as I didn’t know that he was suffering from the infections. So, it’s making it very hard for me to know the actual reasons for his whining. He doesn’t do it all the time, and he’s not really showing any other clear signs that he’s in some sort of discomfort.

    It’s also harder for us to really find out what Koa is dealing with, as he never showed any of the clear signs of dealing with ear infections, except maybe the little whines, so there are no diminishing signs to show us that the treatment is working. And… He will be 6 months in a few days time, so there is so much happening in his body and mind. He’s still growing, so there’s always a chance of growing pains. He’s hitting puberty, so that means a lot of changes too. And, if he has been dealing with his ears since he was just a wee lad, then it will be strange to him what could be happening to his ears now, as the meds are (hopefully) destroying the infections.

    We tried to find out all we could, and the answers we found were good, but inconclusive, as we can’t be sure of any of it. There are moments where I wish dogs could just talk to us with words. So Koa could tell me why he keeps whining every now and then, so I could make sure to do anything possible to help him feel better again.

    My friend joined us for a nice walk, and then she got ready to head back home again. Of course, within a few minutes, Koa lay himself down again, and did the little sad whiney thing again. I tried to capture it on video, so I could share it with our friend. When she heard some of the little whines, she understood why they worried me some. So I’ll just keep monitoring Koa as best as I can, so I can give him the best support.

    Koa had his meal, I had a snack, and then I got everything ready so we could head to bed. It took me quite a while to get comfortable enough to doze off, as my hand was being annoying. When I was finally snoozing, Koa woke me up to get a drink, and go potty. We went back to bed after that, and I managed to get some sleep, until Koa woke me up again. We went outside, Koa did his thing, and back to bed again. Koa whined a bit again, and I checked the clock, and told Koa I needed a bit more sleep. And, for some magical reason, he stopped whining, and we dozed off again. An hour later, Koa told me that it was, in fact, now time to get up. So I did, 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:

  16. #Journal of a sore Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Friday, 21/08/2026).

    After a bit of a broken night, Koa woke me up to let me know it was time for a potty break, to be followed by some delicious food. So, I got up, and we started our "day". I let Koa out, fixed his meal, and I took my meds. I got dressed while Koa was eating. When we were both done, we headed to the couch. I got my laptop, and started writing a reply email to a sweet friend. It took me a while to get it finished. When the email had been sent, I took Koa out for a little walk.

    We got back, I fixed some brekkie, and then I worked on a blog post for that day. Typing was slower than usual, as I was having some issues with my splint being too tight in some spots. After I was relieved that I would not break my long posting streak, with a new post ready for the day, I started writing my journal toot. When that was finally finished too, my hands needed a bit of rest. I walked with Koa first, fed the dude, and then… I tried to relax a bit with some telly.
    I fixed myself some food, texted my mum about my issues with the splint, and that I was getting myself prepared to call the hospital as soon as I could, to see if they would be able to adjust the splint, so it would hopefully hurt me a little less.

    When it was time to call the hospital, I hoped that I was prepared enough. Calls just make me so anxious, especially with strangers, and when I need to explain things about my health, to try and get them to help me. I explained my situation, and the person who would have to handle this wasn’t in yet. So, they made a note and promised to call me back.

    And then, I anxiously waited for them to call me back. I had no idea when to expect their call-back, and in my mind, I kept going over and over of what I needed to discuss with them, when they would call. I had hoped to discuss everything when I called them, but now I needed to be ready for them, which was costing me a few of my scarcely available spoons.

    So when they finally called me, I did my best to tell them about my issue, and ask them for help. And... I managed to get an appointment with them at 11:30. I let mum know, and she would be here in time to pick me up.

    She texted me when she was on her way, and I took Koa out for a walk, so he'd be OK while we were at the hospital. Koa and I had a nice walk, and he did his things, so I was happy about that, as it would hopefully mean that he would be able to relax while mum and I were out. When we got back, I set up the tablet to use as webcam, as it proved to be very helpful the last time we went to the hospital.

    We left the house, and I eagerly kept checking the webcam app, as I was a bit anxious due to what happened last time we went to hospital. But, after a few barks, Koa quickly settled down. He was alert to sounds coming from outside, but he was quiet, and lay himself down after every sound disruption.
    We got to the hospital a little early. Mum wanted to visit a store for me, after the appointment. As there still was some time, and I didn't want to stay away from Koa too long, I suggested that mum would go to the store, and I would go to the appointment, and I'll meet her at the pick-up area in front of the hospital when we were both done.

    I was texting a friend, when I was called in early. So, I went along with the lady, and I explained the issue with the splint. While the lady was working on it, I got my phone to check on Koa. I left it on, so I could keep an eye on him, while the lady went back and forth to get the splint adjusted properly. He was being a very good boy, and I just felt proud of him. When the splint was done, the lady gave me a new fabric tube to go over my arm, under the splint. I thanked her for her help, and went downstairs, where I found mum already waiting for me.

    We got back home, and Koa was the happiest dude. While we were heading home, the new tube had started to hurt my hand and arm. So, mum helped me to change it back to th and old one. It didn't go all too well, and some tears were shed. But it felt good to have the tight fabric come off. The splint got back on, and I fed the dude, as it was a little past his meal time. When he finished, mum headed back home, and Koa and I relaxed for a while.
    I slowly got everything ready for bedtime. After some telly time, Koa and I got settled for some snooze time. It was a bit of a broken night, with my hand annoying me, and I could not get too comfortable. Koa woke me up a few times too. When he woke me up the last time, I would have preferred another hour of sleep. But, Koa needed to go potty. So it was time to get up and start our "day".

After I was relieved that I would not break my long posting streak, with a new post ready for the day, I started writing my journal toot. When that was finally finished too, my hands needed a bit of rest. I walked with Koa first, fed the dude, and then… I tried to relax a bit with some telly.
    I fixed myself some food, texted my mum about my issues with the splint, and that I was getting myself prepared to call the hospital as soon as I could, to see if they would be able to adjust the splint, so it would hopefully hurt me a little less.

    When it was time to call the hospital, I hoped that I was prepared enough. Calls just make me so anxious, especially with strangers, and when I need to explain things about my health, to try and get them to help me. I explained my situation, and the person who would have to handle this wasn’t in yet. So, they made a note and promised to call me back.

    And then, I anxiously waited for them to call me back. I had no idea when to expect their call-back, and in my mind, I kept going over and over of what I needed to discuss with them, when they would call. I had hoped to discuss everything when I called them, but now I needed to be ready for them, which was costing me a few of my scarcely available spoons.

    So when they finally called me, I did my best to tell them about my issue, and ask them for help. And... I managed to get an appointment with them at 11:30. I let mum know, and she would be here in time to pick me up.

    She texted me when she was on her way, and I took Koa out for a walk, so he'd be OK while we were at the hospital. Koa and I had a nice walk, and he did his things, so I was happy about that, as it would hopefully mean that he would be able to relax while mum and I were out. When we got back, I set up the tablet to use as webcam, as it proved to be very helpful the last time we went to the hospital.

    We left the house, and I eagerly kept checking the webcam app, as I was a bit anxious due to what happened last time we went to hospital. But, after a few barks, Koa quickly settled down. He was alert to sounds coming from outside, but he was quiet, and lay himself down after every sound disruption.
    We got to the hospital a little early. Mum wanted to visit a store for me, after the appointment. As there still was some time, and I didn't want to stay away from Koa too long, I suggested that mum would go to the store, and I would go to the appointment, and I'll meet her at the pick-up area in front of the hospital when we were both done.

    I was texting a friend, when I was called in early. So, I went along with the lady, and I explained the issue with the splint. While the lady was working on it, I got my phone to check on Koa. I left it on, so I could keep an eye on him, while the lady went back and forth to get the splint adjusted properly. He was being a very good boy, and I just felt proud of him. When the splint was done, the lady gave me a new fabric tube to go over my arm, under the splint. I thanked her for her help, and went downstairs, where I found mum already waiting for me.

    We got back home, and Koa was the happiest dude. While we were heading home, the new tube had started to hurt my hand and arm. So, mum helped me to change it back to th and old one. It didn't go all too well, and some tears were shed. But it felt good to have the tight fabric come off. The splint got back on, and I fed the dude, as it was a little past his meal time. When he finished, mum headed back home, and Koa and I relaxed for a while.
    I slowly got everything ready for bedtime. After some telly time, Koa and I got settled for some snooze time. It was a bit of a broken night, with my hand annoying me, and I could not get too comfortable. Koa woke me up a few times too. When he woke me up the last time, I would have preferred another hour of sleep. But, Koa needed to go potty. So it was 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:

  26. #Journal of an exhausted Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Thursday, 20/08/2026).

    After a mixed night, we got up when Koa let me know it was time for a potty break, followed by some food. So, I got up, let Koa out, fixed his meal, took my meds, and then I got dressed. When Koa finished his meal, we got to the couch. I got my tablet, and wrote a reply email to my sweet friend. While I was writing, Koa had been busy with his snack. I could not see him, but after a while, I thought his snacking sounded a bit different. When I got up, and went to check on him, I saw the reason for the change in sounds… The little idiot had switched out the snack for a corner part of my skirting boards. Or, what was left of them… I got angry, both with him, for chewing up my boards, and with myself, for not realizing sooner that this sound wasn’t coming from the snack. I grabbed him by the neck, with some louder verbal support, and got him in his crate. *Sigh* I had been hoping the chewing would become less, after the teething was done. But unfortunately, I have been proven wrong, resulting in the death of a cool old controller, and now parts of the skirting boards.

    When I finished writing my email, Koa and I went out for a little walk. Back home, I fixed myself some brekkie. Then, I wrote my journal toot. It took me a while to write, as my hands weren’t really into it. So when I had managed to finish it, I was glad to give my hands a little rest, before it was time to take Koa out on another walk.

    We got back, and I made Koa another meal. I was tired and sore, but fortunately I had no appointments for today. So Koa and I could take it easy, even though I felt like Koa would want a bit less easy, and a bit more action. I still struggle with not being able to offer him what he needs at the moment. And I still feel guilty over never realizing that he had been struggling with an ear infection… Ugh…

    We relaxed for a little bit, watching some telly, trying to give my hand a little bit of rest. Of course, trying to scroll on my phone was not really giving it a lot of rest… You never realize how much you use your hands, until you can’t use one of them. And, this is not my first time in a cast/splint. It’s not my first hand surgery, although the first (and hopefully last) on my right hand. But me, being very dominant with my right hand, and having a left hand that’s not working fully properly… It’s quite challenging, and I guess having to care for Koa makes it even more than that.

    But, I want to take care of him as best as I can, and I hope that this way, Koa will also learn that there are times when I can do more, and times when there is less. But, I will always give him my best, and I hope that he will learn that as well. I try to give him all I can, and at times, I try to ask help from friends and family to provide Koa with some of the things that I can’t offer him at the moment.

    We spent some time trying to relax, and enjoying an occasional little walk here or there. I tried to open my bedroom window. But, something went wrong, and it got unlatched. I wasn’t able to get it beck, and to be honest, I didn’t know how… So, I texted my poor neighbor again, with a request for help. She came over, and tried loads of things, but the stupid window would not budge. So, I had to be brave again, and make a call with the rental coop, asking for their support.

    While I was on hold with the company, mum came in with some groceries. I told her I was on the call, but she still babbled through it, while I tried to understand the lady that had come back on the line. The lady scheduled an appointment, which would not be for several days, and it got me a bit worried, as I was not able to properly close the window now. Just a few minutes after the call, they called me back, saying a mechanic was in the neighborhood, and he had some time to pop the window back! Yay for that!

    Mum helped me with a few little chores, then the man came, and fixed the window in a blink of an eye! And the worst of it is, what he did, was something the neighbor had tried several times… He went on his way, and when mum was ready, she headed back home too. I fixed Koa’s meal, and slowly prepped everything to head to bed.

    Koa and I relaxed a bit, he went into the garden, and then we got ready for bed. It didn’t take too long for the both of us to doze off. I woke up for a bit, when a buzzing terrorist zapped itself in the UV swatter. The next time I woke up, Koa and I had a little potty break. We got back to bed, and quickly dozed off again. Koa whined a little bit, which woke me up again, and I realized that there was a bad thunderstorm happening, to which Koa reacted. I told him all was OK, and even with the storm still happening, we dozed off again. The next time Koa woke me up, was a good time to get up and start our “day”. It was a bit of a broken night, but we did get some sleep here and there.

Or, what was left of them… I got angry, both with him, for chewing up my boards, and with myself, for not realizing sooner that this sound wasn’t coming from the snack. I grabbed him by the neck, with some louder verbal support, and got him in his crate. *Sigh* I had been hoping the chewing would become less, after the teething was done. But unfortunately, I have been proven wrong, resulting in the death of a cool old controller, and now parts of the skirting boards.

    When I finished writing my email, Koa and I went out for a little walk. Back home, I fixed myself some brekkie. Then, I wrote my journal toot. It took me a while to write, as my hands weren’t really into it. So when I had managed to finish it, I was glad to give my hands a little rest, before it was time to take Koa out on another walk.

    We got back, and I made Koa another meal. I was tired and sore, but fortunately I had no appointments for today. So Koa and I could take it easy, even though I felt like Koa would want a bit less easy, and a bit more action. I still struggle with not being able to offer him what he needs at the moment. And I still feel guilty over never realizing that he had been struggling with an ear infection… Ugh…

    We relaxed for a little bit, watching some telly, trying to give my hand a little bit of rest. Of course, trying to scroll on my phone was not really giving it a lot of rest… You never realize how much you use your hands, until you can’t use one of them. And, this is not my first time in a cast/splint. It’s not my first hand surgery, although the first (and hopefully last) on my right hand. But me, being very dominant with my right hand, and having a left hand that’s not working fully properly… It’s quite challenging, and I guess having to care for Koa makes it even more than that.

    But, I want to take care of him as best as I can, and I hope that this way, Koa will also learn that there are times when I can do more, and times when there is less. But, I will always give him my best, and I hope that he will learn that as well. I try to give him all I can, and at times, I try to ask help from friends and family to provide Koa with some of the things that I can’t offer him at the moment.

    We spent some time trying to relax, and enjoying an occasional little walk here or there. I tried to open my bedroom window. But, something went wrong, and it got unlatched. I wasn’t able to get it beck, and to be honest, I didn’t know how… So, I texted my poor neighbor again, with a request for help. She came over, and tried loads of things, but the stupid window would not budge. So, I had to be brave again, and make a call with the rental coop, asking for their support.

    While I was on hold with the company, mum came in with some groceries. I told her I was on the call, but she still babbled through it, while I tried to understand the lady that had come back on the line. The lady scheduled an appointment, which would not be for several days, and it got me a bit worried, as I was not able to properly close the window now. Just a few minutes after the call, they called me back, saying a mechanic was in the neighborhood, and he had some time to pop the window back! Yay for that!

    Mum helped me with a few little chores, then the man came, and fixed the window in a blink of an eye! And the worst of it is, what he did, was something the neighbor had tried several times… He went on his way, and when mum was ready, she headed back home too. I fixed Koa’s meal, and slowly prepped everything to head to bed.

    Koa and I relaxed a bit, he went into the garden, and then we got ready for bed. It didn’t take too long for the both of us to doze off. I woke up for a bit, when a buzzing terrorist zapped itself in the UV swatter. The next time I woke up, Koa and I had a little potty break. We got back to bed, and quickly dozed off again. Koa whined a little bit, which woke me up again, and I realized that there was a bad thunderstorm happening, to which Koa reacted. I told him all was OK, and even with the storm still happening, we dozed off again. The next time Koa woke me up, was a good time to get up and start our “day”. It was a bit of a broken night, but we did get some sleep here and there.

    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:

  41. #Journal of a sore and tired Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Wednesday, 19/08/2026).

    Fortunately, I had been able to get some sleep this night. I know I needed it very much, after the very short and broken previous night. Around midnight, Koa woke me up, and let me know it was time for a potty break, followed by some food. So, I obeyed the dude's wishes, and got up. I let Koa out, and prepped his food. While he was eating, I got dressed. When Koa was finished, we got to the couch. I got my tablet out, and wrote a long reply email to my sweet friend.

    When I finally finished the email, I took Koa out for a short walk. It was a rainy night. And nature needs the rain, but it makes the walkies a bit more challenging. When we got home, I fixed myself some brekkie, and I enjoyed it. After I finished, I wanted to start writing my journal Toot, but I remembered that I had not scheduled a blog post for today yet. And I didn't want to break the awesome daily posting streak that I've been able to keep going for so long...

    I had already started working on a post, which made it easier for me to keep going to finish it. When I was finally done with it, it was time to start writing my journal Toot. My hands were getting tired, and the right one was getting more painful, so I had to take my time to be able to finish the Toot. But while I was writing, it was time to take Koa out into the rain again. I fed him when we got back, and then I got back to finishing the journal Toot. When it was done, I uploaded it to the usual places.

    Then, I had a little time to try and relax. My body was still very sore. And whatever I tried, I kept feeling pain and discomfort... It didn't help that I was also still feeling rather tired. I tried to relax as best as I could, and I tried to walk a short round with Koa every now and then. Koa wasn't too pleased that we weren't walking bigger walks. I saw that he was eager to let out some of his pent up energy. So I texted our neighbor, asking if she would be willing and able to take Koa for a longer, and more challenging, walk.

    Koa had just finished his meal when I received a text from her, letting us know she'd be able to walk with the dude. I made sure that the dude was all ready, and he was very excited when he saw the neighbor through the fence. They went out for their walk, and I was able to relax a bit on the couch.

    I was just sorting my meds and bedtime supplements, when the dude came bouncing into the bathroom. He had some time in the closed off doggy pen, and apparently, he enjoyed a few minutes of very crazy zoomies there. I thanked my neighbor, and then took the pills. I relaxed for a little while, while I was waiting for Koa's breathing to calm down again. When it did, I got us both ready to head to bed.

    Koa dozed off rather quickly, but I wasn't so lucky. It took me quite a while before I was able to doze off. And, of course, knowing my luck, I had just dozed off, when an annoying buzzing terrorist started doing zoomies around my head. Ugh... It took me a while again, before I was finally able to get some sleep. Koa woke me up after a while, needing a potty break. We both did our thing, and then went back to bed again. I was able to doze off again, and slept until Koa woke me a bit before midnight, informing me that it was time to go potty, followed by a nice meal. So, I got up, and we started our "day".

  46. Good evening Squirrel Fans.

    Been chatting with my Fedi Fren @Soldusty about how short the days seem to be nowadays - perhaps the multiverse is trying to fit more in …

    “A year went past. The days followed one another patiently. Right back at the beginning of the multiverse they had all tried passing at the same time, and it hadn't worked.”
    ― Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters

    Right off to see Ada Lovelace (sadly a clone but hey I’m still chuffed) about a cypher!

    Catch you fab folk on the morrow!

    Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you’re well & safe! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖

  51. CW: Nothing really bad, just quite a bit of frustration... But it's a 6700 character Toot, so this should save some folks from scrolling too long 😇 CW on picture due to showing two week old scars with several stitches visible as well.

    #Journal of a very stressed Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Tuesday, 18/08/2026).

    Due to me waiting endlessly for my meds to be delivered, there wasn't much time for me to catch some sleep, until Koa would wake me up again for his pee, poop, and, of course, food. When I just dozed off, a buzzing terrorist 🦟 decided to hover around my head, making me very cranky. When I applied the deet, and turned on the UV swatter, it took a little while before I managed to doze off again. After just two hours, I woke up for the loo. I decided to take Koa out for a wee, and gave him some kibble (as I always do) when he went back to the crate. I had given him a little extra, hoping it would buy me some more time to sleep.

    Unfortunately, Koa woke me up again around midnight. So, after about 4 hours of sleep in total, feeling like utter crap, I got up to start our "day". I let Koa out, and then I fixed his food. While Koa was enjoying his meal, I tried to get dressed. My hand was swollen enough to make it hurt more again, so getting dressed was a bit more challenging. When I was done, I had to make due with my short working meds, because I never received the ones I had been waiting on for so long... When Koa had finished his meal, and I took some of the meds available to me, we got to the couch.

    I got my tablet out, and worked for a while to write a reply to my sweet friend's email. When I was finally done, as typing is still so slow these days, I took Koa out for a little walk. I fixed my brekkie after that, and then I started writing my journal toot. It was a harder one to write, as I still felt much of the stress and frustration of the previous day. I seemed to be typing for ages, and when I was finally done, I felt a bit of relief, in a way. But my hands also needed a proper rest. So, I tried to relax for a while, as best as my body was allowing it. And after a bit, it was time to take out Koa for a walk again.

    When we got back, I fed the little monster, and made some food for myself. Unfortunately, my food made me feel so very nauseous all of a sudden, and I had to rush to the loo. So, besides feeling terribly sore all over, I now was feeling super nauseous as well. This was going to be a fun filled day...
    I walked a short walk with Koa again, and then I tried to get a bit more relaxed. The message from the hospital said they'd call at 8:30, so of course I made sure to be ready for it. And, of course, the left me waiting till 8:50 before they finally called. Ugh, how I dislike people treating others that way... But I could have known, as I had dealt with this person before, and they left me waiting for ages before finally contacting me before as well.

    They started with some sort of apology about the confusion concerning my canceled appointments. I was supposed to receive a call last Friday, from the planning folks, where they should have explained that they made an error with the planning... But nope, they just deleted the appointments, and that was it... So I guess she never read my message properly, as I clearly stated that I had received no form of explanation... Ugh... The rest of the call was rather tedious, as it was the same stuff as after my previous hand surgery. Still the same comments of all I should be doing, and still the same resistance when I tried to explain to them, again, that due to how my brain communicates with my body, the standard things just won't work for me. They still pressed on about how I should at least try certain things... I stopped explaining that those things had not worked for me for all my life, so I doubted they would magically start working now... I just didn't have the spoons for this stuff...

    The dreadful call lasted for half an hour. I was even more exhausted than before, when the line finally disconnected. Soon after that, my mum arrived, and we got ready for her to help me take a well needed shower. It was a bit of a hassle, but in the end, I did feel a bit better. I still don't like the sensation of the water, and it's even harder when you're not the one in control, but it was worth it to feel a bit more refreshed again.

    When I finally managed to get dressed again, Koa was showing me he was a bit displeased with my lack of action. I should have walked with him after the phone call, but I really needed to shower first, to get that done. So, mum and I took Koa out for a little walk, which seemed to please the dude, so that was a plus. When we got back, mum wanted to get the vacuum out, as it had been two weeks since it was last done. I tried to gather some courage to make a phone call, as I had to find out what happened to the meds that I really needed. So, I made the call, and explained the situation. They told me they'd check, and then call me back. Which they did, a few minutes later. And it turned out, my meds had been delivered, sort of... They had put them in the mailbox! While I sat there, waiting... And while last year, when I had asked them if it were possible to get meds to the mailbox, as I could not be home all afternoon, since I needed to take Arwen out at times. And the man told me, with great conviction, that they were never allowed to do that, due to theft. They needed to deliver it to a person, answering the recipient's door... So yeah... Never believe what they tell ya, I guess... 🤔

    So, I hung up, frustrated with yet another thing that just made no sense at all, and I went to the mailbox to get my meds, finally... When mum was ready, it was time for us to get to the car, and head to Cuijk for my physio. The session helped me to get a bit of relief in my right shoulder and back. Then, we headed back to Herpen. A quick pitstop at the supermarket. Then, mum took Koa for a little round over the field behind the house, while I put away the groceries, and then fixed Koa's meal.

    I tried to eat a bit, as I was hungry, since I had not eaten anything since I became so nauseous and threw up after my morning meal. Koa and I relaxed a bit on the couch, with a bit of telly. As I was rather tired from all the happenings, and lack of decent sleep. So, I started to get everything ready to head to bed.
    I woke up once to a buzzing terrorist. I applied some deet, turned on the UV swatter, and fell back asleep. Koa woke me up after a few hours for a potty break. And then, he allowed me to sleep some more hours. I got a little over 7 hours of sleep in total, which had been very welcome. So now, Koa and I got up to 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:

    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:

  55. CW: Nothing really bad, just quite a bit of frustration... But it's a 6700 character Toot, so this should save some folks from scrolling too long 😇 CW on picture due to showing two week old scars with several stitches visible as well.

    #Journal of a very stressed Dutch AuDHD Pixy :pixy_party: (Tuesday, 18/08/2026).

    Due to me waiting endlessly for my meds to be delivered, there wasn't much time for me to catch some sleep, until Koa would wake me up again for his pee, poop, and, of course, food. When I just dozed off, a buzzing terrorist 🦟 decided to hover around my head, making me very cranky. When I applied the deet, and turned on the UV swatter, it took a little while before I managed to doze off again. After just two hours, I woke up for the loo. I decided to take Koa out for a wee, and gave him some kibble (as I always do) when he went back to the crate. I had given him a little extra, hoping it would buy me some more time to sleep.

    Unfortunately, Koa woke me up again around midnight. So, after about 4 hours of sleep in total, feeling like utter crap, I got up to start our "day". I let Koa out, and then I fixed his food. While Koa was enjoying his meal, I tried to get dressed. My hand was swollen enough to make it hurt more again, so getting dressed was a bit more challenging. When I was done, I had to make due with my short working meds, because I never received the ones I had been waiting on for so long... When Koa had finished his meal, and I took some of the meds available to me, we got to the couch.

    I got my tablet out, and worked for a while to write a reply to my sweet friend's email. When I was finally done, as typing is still so slow these days, I took Koa out for a little walk. I fixed my brekkie after that, and then I started writing my journal toot. It was a harder one to write, as I still felt much of the stress and frustration of the previous day. I seemed to be typing for ages, and when I was finally done, I felt a bit of relief, in a way. But my hands also needed a proper rest. So, I tried to relax for a while, as best as my body was allowing it. And after a bit, it was time to take out Koa for a walk again.

    When we got back, I fed the little monster, and made some food for myself. Unfortunately, my food made me feel so very nauseous all of a sudden, and I had to rush to the loo. So, besides feeling terribly sore all over, I now was feeling super nauseous as well. This was going to be a fun filled day...
    I walked a short walk with Koa again, and then I tried to get a bit more relaxed. The message from the hospital said they'd call at 8:30, so of course I made sure to be ready for it. And, of course, the left me waiting till 8:50 before they finally called. Ugh, how I dislike people treating others that way... But I could have known, as I had dealt with this person before, and they left me waiting for ages before finally contacting me before as well.

    They started with some sort of apology about the confusion concerning my canceled appointments. I was supposed to receive a call last Friday, from the planning folks, where they should have explained that they made an error with the planning... But nope, they just deleted the appointments, and that was it... So I guess she never read my message properly, as I clearly stated that I had received no form of explanation... Ugh... The rest of the call was rather tedious, as it was the same stuff as after my previous hand surgery. Still the same comments of all I should be doing, and still the same resistance when I tried to explain to them, again, that due to how my brain communicates with my body, the standard things just won't work for me. They still pressed on about how I should at least try certain things... I stopped explaining that those things had not worked for me for all my life, so I doubted they would magically start working now... I just didn't have the spoons for this stuff...

    The dreadful call lasted for half an hour. I was even more exhausted than before, when the line finally disconnected. Soon after that, my mum arrived, and we got ready for her to help me take a well needed shower. It was a bit of a hassle, but in the end, I did feel a bit better. I still don't like the sensation of the water, and it's even harder when you're not the one in control, but it was worth it to feel a bit more refreshed again.

    When I finally managed to get dressed again, Koa was showing me he was a bit displeased with my lack of action. I should have walked with him after the phone call, but I really needed to shower first, to get that done. So, mum and I took Koa out for a little walk, which seemed to please the dude, so that was a plus. When we got back, mum wanted to get the vacuum out, as it had been two weeks since it was last done. I tried to gather some courage to make a phone call, as I had to find out what happened to the meds that I really needed. So, I made the call, and explained the situation. They told me they'd check, and then call me back. Which they did, a few minutes later. And it turned out, my meds had been delivered, sort of... They had put them in the mailbox! While I sat there, waiting... And while last year, when I had asked them if it were possible to get meds to the mailbox, as I could not be home all afternoon, since I needed to take Arwen out at times. And the man told me, with great conviction, that they were never allowed to do that, due to theft. They needed to deliver it to a person, answering the recipient's door... So yeah... Never believe what they tell ya, I guess... 🤔

    So, I hung up, frustrated with yet another thing that just made no sense at all, and I went to the mailbox to get my meds, finally... When mum was ready, it was time for us to get to the car, and head to Cuijk for my physio. The session helped me to get a bit of relief in my right shoulder and back. Then, we headed back to Herpen. A quick pitstop at the supermarket. Then, mum took Koa for a little round over the field behind the house, while I put away the groceries, and then fixed Koa's meal.

    I tried to eat a bit, as I was hungry, since I had not eaten anything since I became so nauseous and threw up after my morning meal. Koa and I relaxed a bit on the couch, with a bit of telly. As I was rather tired from all the happenings, and lack of decent sleep. So, I started to get everything ready to head to bed.
    I woke up once to a buzzing terrorist. I applied some deet, turned on the UV swatter, and fell back asleep. Koa woke me up after a few hours for a potty break. And then, he allowed me to sleep some more hours. I got a little over 7 hours of sleep in total, which had been very welcome. So now, Koa and I got up to start our "day".

  56. Good evening Squirrel Fans.

    When I was but a Junior Op in the IT equivalent of Nursery School, Datacenters were much rarer & seemed like labyrinths! So tonights quote rings very true! :-

    “Unseen University was much bigger on the inside. Thousands of years as the leading establishment of practical magic in a world where dimensions were largely a matter of chance in any case had left it bulging in places where it shouldn't have places. There were rooms containing rooms which, if you entered them, turned out to contain the room you'd started with, which can be a problem if you are in a conga line.”
    ― Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent

    Right off to start a side mission that has been on my list for ages … having done a quick DDG search it seems to be a popular one so I will hopefully enjoy it!

    Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you’re well & safe! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖
