What a week it’s been… Started feeling bläh due to the aftermath of the Covid-19 infection. I started feeling better on Tuesday, after two long nights of sleep. A shorter night after that, followed by an awefully long day. But… Hopefully the long day was all worth it… A more relaxing day on Thursday, with an earlier bedtime to try and catch up on some missed sleep. I started at the gym again, as I felt almost as good a before the virus, and I really missed the gym. The visit to my friends, and getting Skoosh’ new shoes, had been postponed, as we didn’t want to risk anything, seeing my friends have some health issues as well. The weekend was mostly me feeling like I was failing, because I was resting a lot, while I had wanted to do this and that… But recovering from both an autistic burnout and Covid-19 also means needing more rest…
Several gray days, not too cold during the day (for October), slowly getting a bit colder during the nights… Seeing I have spent several of those days in isolation, it wasn’t too bad weather to be confined at home with, I guess…
Quick links to the days of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday.
Monday
I had a long night. I woke up more than usual, as my sinuses were blocking loads, my throat had to make noise from time to time, and my bladder had something to “say” about all the tea that I had been drinking… But, the long time in bed did result to me getting some extra sleep, which I obviously needed… I still felt crappy when I got up, but a little less exhausted nevertheless.
flic.kr/p/2rze4vK
No gym… Weird… I was just used to it again after the long break due to all the surgeries… I did my usual things, and then I got to the couch. I tried to catch up with social media, and I wrote my journal Toot. I had so many new notifications, it was a bit overwhelming. But, so many of them were sweet and supportive ones, so that really helped me to feel a bit better. 💜
I fixed some tea and I watched Madam Secretary for a while. I got my laptop, worked on my blog, and wrote a reply email to a sweet friend. After that, some more relaxing, and then I put on my shoes. I walked the treadmill for half an hour. No incline, at 4kmh, and it was a bit challenging. But I did it and in the end, it did feel good. Sort of. 😊
When I wanted to charge my Buds again, I got them to the case and I got a warning, saying they could not charge as they were dirty, or the case was dirty. 🤔 I checked everything, not a spec of dirt or sweat in sight. I tried several times, and they kept giving me errors. I used the mighty Duck 🦆, and apparently it’s something that happens enough to be mentioned on several sites… So yeah, I felt bummed once again, as they were just 3 days old (well, they had just been used for 3 days) and already there were issues. So, I had to exchange them for new ones. I found a way to have them sent back that would have the least human interaction. And I ordered the replacements. I was so down about it, as it was just another thing breaking down on me while I was already feeling crappy…
I went upstairs, and I rode the bike for half an hour. Yay me! After that, I fixed myself some food. The construction folks were already making noises again. It looked like they were going to pave the street in front of my house today.
flic.kr/p/2rz1aw2
While food was being made, I contacted the heat pump person and let him know that the pressure went down a little again, to 1,8bar now… Ugh.. So something is leaking somewhere, as the pressure goes down. Not that fast since the big drop between Friday and Saturday, but it still seems to lose about 0,1bar every day… 😔
I tried to relax, and I worked a little bit on a new blog post. I finished season 2 of the Closer and I got the discs for season 3 and 4, so I could watch some more… It was hard to focus on the series, as the construction folks had their radio on so loud, and it was placed right in front of my house for quite some time, as they were busy paving the street… Ugh… I just wanted some rest…
I had some soup. And then I had a coughing fit and well… The next time I had to blow my nose, it was red… Yeah… Tomato 🍅 soup had been enjoyed… But not for long… Ugh! I felt even more crappy now. And I had not heard anything about the pump saga just yet, so after my stomach had been emptied some due to those coughs, I decided to get to bed again. I watched a series on my phone, also to block out the radio sounds that were blasting through the closed windows…
After a while I dozed off and on again, so I put away the phone and tried to get all the sleep I could. I woke up quote a few times, as again, my sinuses were blocking up all the time, my throat needed to make noise every now and then, and of course I had some tea again…
I woke up a minute before my alarm was set to go off. I turned it off and started my “day”. My watch showed me that I had about 9:15 of sleep in total, so another long sleep for me. I didn’t feel any better yet, besides being a little less sleepy… So I got to the scale, got dressed, took my meds and moved my big behind to the couch to check my social media bits again while watching some more of the Closer. 😊
Tuesday
I had another long night. I woke up several times due to my nose, throat, and bladder. But in total, I got around 9:15 hours of sleep, according to my watch at least. When I woke up, I didn’t feel too tired, which was good. The scale was OK enough, and I got dressed and took my meds. I do miss hitting the gym, so I got myself to the couch. I caught up with social media, and I wrote my Good Night Toot. After that, I started writing my Journal Toot. I added the journal bit to my Journey journal app, and saved it to a text file as well.
flic.kr/p/2rzdK7V
When all that writing had been done, I got my laptop out, and I worked on the journal blog post. Then, I worked on another post, so I would have one ready for Wednesday. I miss having several posts “lined up in advance”, so if I had a bad day, it wasn’t too bad. Of course, it still isn’t too bad. 😉 But, I have been doing my best on getting this long (for me) posting streak, and I would love to make it to 2000 consecutive days of posting… If I remember right, that would/could happen if I keep sharing at least one post every day until December 6th.
After a bit of blog writing, I got to a chat with a friend that I had been neglecting a bit, and I wrote a little to him. Then, I made sure to reply to an email from another sweet friend. Then, I got back to my blog post, and I was able to finish the text part. I checked my older AI images, and I found one that I could edit for the blogs header. I have used AI quite a bit in the past to help me with images, which I know many people hate. But, I did save all the images, and whenever I need a header for my blog posts, and I can’t use a real picture, I often scroll through my old saved AI ones, and I will edit them to re-use them. I know there has been energy and water used to create this silly images. So, the more often I can re-use them, the better. Sometimes I still try to make a new image, but I try to use it way less these days…
When all the writing had been done, I made myself some brekky. Then, I put on my shoes and I walked the treadmill for half an hour. No incline, no higher speed, just a simple walk. I know walking outside may be better for recovery, but the neighborhood is a mess, and if I would be walking alone with a light on my head, without a dog… I know most people will know me and will know that I used to have nightly walks with Arwen. But still, seeing how I feel, how messy the neighborhood is, and the weather not being the best… I opted for the comfort of the treadmill. I did what the burnout recovery sites suggested, and when I struggled, I kept thinking of her. It makes me emotional, even while I type this my eyes start getting more moist, but… Her strength is still inside me, and I feel stronger again when I remind myself of that. Damn, I still miss that gall like crazy. It’s been 103 days, according to a website, and it’s still hard to deal with. While it gets easier to see her snaps and vids and remember her with a smile and love, this love also makes me cry at times, because I just miss her so damn much…😢
flic.kr/p/2rzmwtn
After walking half an hour, I relaxed for a bit. Then, when the noise outside started bugging me again, I decided to head upstairs, and I rode my home trainer for half an hour. After that, I took down the dried laundry and folded it. I took it downstairs, while almost vibrating off the stairs because they were using the drill plate again. I joked to a friend that I may even miss all the noise when they will finally be done… Since I got the keys on July 1st, which was 471 days ago according to that same website, there have been like 6 weeks without too much noise. 3 weeks during the first “bouwvak”, which is the period where most construction workers have their holidays (it would translate to “builders vacation”). But during the first 3 weeks, there were several folks that kept working on their houses, as they were independent and they seemed to have hired folks that had vacation time, but didn’t mind working some more… The last bouwvak period was shortly after my last surgery, and it was nice that I could be in bed at 7 without being woken up due to all the noise, that often started at 6:30/6:45… And fewer people were building houses the second time around, so these weeks were a bit quieter. Heck, at times with the windows open, one could even hear the highway. 😉
I tried to relax and watch more of The Closer. I may have been browsing some websites and I may have ordered a second hand copy of the last season of the Closer on DVD, the only one I didn’t have yet… And I may have finally ordered the last Star Wars movie on Blu-ray as well, so that I would finally have all the movies. It felt silly to have all movies, some even in different editions, but not have the final one… So yeah, with all that’s been happening, I may have been feeling sorry for myself and I decided to finally complete a few collections. I now just hope that the second hand DVD box set will be in the decent condition that the seller said it would be. I did find the DVD box new somewhere, but it was like 4x as expensive as the second hand one. And I just can’t afford that right now, as I also have to order the weeds fabric and pins soon, so I have these when my friend can (hopefully 🤞🏻) come next week to help me with the gardens… I’ve already spent a bit too much, due to feeling sorry for myself, so… I need to be careful, so I won’t get into any trouble. (and when I checked my account, I was shocked, but then I remembered that I took the money for Skoosh’ new tires off so I could pay at the garage without issues with my card limit… Now I will need to keep that money safe, as Skoosh her new shoes have been delayed due to Covid…).
I tried to relax a bit and enjoy a meal. My sweet neighbor had gone to the store, and she brought me some shoarma, yay! 😋 That will be mighty nice tomorrow… 🤤 Then, the wait for DHL began. As my garden was still a mess, and the street was not finished either, I had all curtains open, so I could also watch the back. Most of the delivery folks now use the backside parking lot to get the parcels to us. Unfortunately, the delivery time slot was between 14:05-16:05, so there was still some wait (while I would not have minded going to bed). My headache didn’t like all the curtains open, but I needed to keep some eyes out. Unfortunately, DHL never updates the app with better estimated times, so yeah, wait… And… Wait I did. But then, I got an email, saying they missed me and could not deliver the parcel… Whut now! There had been no one even near the house! Of course, this was around 15:45, almost at the end of the time slot. So now, they would take the parcel to the lockers in town… Some time tomorrow! Not even now, while they were less than 1km away (and probably would be driving by anyway, as it’s the main street through town). I was soooooo triggered! I know the area is messy, but that doesn’t mean that they just don’t even have to show up and can just say you weren’t home…
flic.kr/p/2rzcuSB
After I had used the DHL app to file a complaint about the untrue “not home” notification, I got ready to head to bed. But yeah, I was very annoyed. All the times that DHL just didn’t deliver because “no one was home”… While I was there, eagerly waiting for them… I wish online shops would offer you the choice to send things with your preferred courier. This one had shipment included, but if I could have used a different service (an actual service) for like an extra Euro, or even two… It would definitely be worth it!
I got to bed, and there was still noise outside from folks working on a garden. So I used the MyNoise® app to find a background sound to try and filter out the bad sounds. I read for a while and then, finally, I was able to doze off. I did wake up several times, as my nose blocked up a few times, I had a cough once, and of course my bladder was annoying as well. After about 6,5 hours of sleep, I woke up again, about half an hour before the alarm was set. And, I got up and started my new “day”, which was going to be a long one due to the pump guys coming later today.
Hump day / Wednesday
#Journal of a rather exhausted but hopeful Dutch Pixy :pixy_party: (Wednesday, 15/10/2025).
I woke up a little before my alarm went off. It had been a shorter night, due to me waiting for DHL to bring me my Buds… I waited for almost the whole 2-hour time slot, and 15 minutes before it ended, I got an email that they were sorry to have missed me, they would take the parcel to a locker in town… The next day… So here I had been waiting for almost 2 hours, where I kept checking the front and back of the house, seeing if a van would come, seeing if a person was making an attempt to get the parcel to me… I know that it was not easy, with streets broken up and my garden having a big trench. But, it seemed they the only thing they put an effort in, was to lie and say I wasn’t home. If I had known they would not make any effort to get the package to me, I could have had it delivered at the locker straight away, and it would have saved me the wait (and energy spent on keeping my eye out for anyone) and the annoyance. So yeah, I had gone to bed a bit triggered and later, which made for a less long sleep.
My nose and throat were being kinder to me this night. I did wake up several times, but I did manage to get about 6½ hours of sleep in total. I got up, used the scale, got dressed, and then I took my meds and headed to the couch. Ow, I do miss not being able to put on my shoes and head to the gym… I checked my social bits and bops, wrote my journal toot, and then I got the laptop to work on my blog a bit. I replied to an email from a sweet friend. And then I tried to relax for a while, because even though I had only been using my phone and laptop, I still felt a bit tired again.
flic.kr/p/2rzqGhh
After a while, I put on my shoes and I hit the treadmill for half an hour. I struggled a bit to keep going, but I just thought about my gall, and how she loved the walkies with me, and that kept me going. After the walk, I was watching telly when bestie called me on her way to work. We had a nice chat. After which, I decided to make some food. As I had a very delicious, but high calories, meal planned for today, I had skipped my brekky, hoping the meal would fill me properly to last throughout the day.
I had enjoyed the meal, and then I got my laptop again, and I worked a little more on my blog. I tried to relax until the time slot had come, where someone would be picking up the parcel with the defective Buds. I had hung a carton on the gate door, with the address and house number, in case the driver would use the back parking to get to the house. I was using all my spoons to keep checking the front and back of the house, too afraid that this driver would “miss me” too. And I needed the parcel to be picked up ASAP, as it also means a faster refund when they get it faster. I had a two hour time slot, and when waiting (especially with AuDHD) those two hours seem to last ages…
While I was waiting, I got a notification that the new Buds had been delivered in the locker. So now, I was really eager for the parcel to be picked up, so I could pick up the new ones, and then hopefully be able to relax for a while. While I was watching the back side for a bit, the doorbell rang. I quickly handed the driver the parcel. He didn’t seem too pleased with my war trenches… But he had managed, so a big plus for him. When he had gone, I got my jacket and bag and I headed to the lockers.
I picked up the parcel, walked back, and then set up the new Buds. While they were on the charger, I tried to relax a while. I had no idea how late the “we come late for the heat pump” would be. I wanted to snooze some but the construction workers were busy with the drill plate again, and when they didn’t use that, they had some awful loud radio blasting. So there was no way to properly relax, unfortunately.
I watched telly, wrote an email to a friend, tried to read a bit… The heat pump guys texted me that they were on their way, with an estimated arrival time. Unfortunately, traffic wasn’t their friend, and when they finally arrived, it was 19:45. I was so terribly tired already, but I also hoped that they would finally be able to find the cause of the pressure loss… And they would have to get my pathway sorted, as the construction workers needed to “attach” it to the street this week.
The guys worked hard, they replaced a coupling that they suspected to be the cause. Then, they fixed up my garden and pathway. But, before they were finally gone, and I was able to go to bed, I had been up for 23 hours! I was so terribly tired…
flic.kr/p/2rzBPyd
I adjusted my alarm a bit, but not too much, as I didn’t want to disturb my routine too much. Especially since I was/am hoping to get back to the gym the following night. It took a while to get comfortable and then I finally fell asleep. I woke up once for the loo, and then when my alarm woke me up. It was a short night, but I was hoping I would be able to relax today. Some parcels were expected, but now that I have a pathway again, the delivery should be a lot easier. So, after about 3½ hours of sleep, I got out of bed and started my new “day”.
Thursday
A very short night. I know I could have adjusted the alarm even more, but as I was hoping to get back into my nightly gym routine again, I didn’t want to sleep too late and then not be able to sleep when it was time again. I managed to get about 3½ hours of sleep, which wasn’t nearly enough. But, I was not going out today, so I was hoping that I could take it easy.
The scale was kind enough. I got dressed, took my meds, and headed to the couch. I checked my social media and then wrote my journal Toot. I got my laptop and worked on my blog a little. I wrote an email to a sweet friend. Wrote a few messages to another one. Browsed some on the web…
I fixed my breakfast and after some relaxed, I put on my shoes and got to the treadmill. Walked for half an hour at 4kmh. I really hope to start upping the speed again soon. But the last time I tried, my silly “rectus femoris” muscle started acting up more. So trying to make that muscle heal up a bit more first now (although I have to admit that I’ve been neglecting the exercises while dealing with my Covid-19 stuff… 😔
flic.kr/p/2rzESv9
After the walk, I relaxed on the couch. Bestie called me on her way to work and we had a nice chat. After that, I tried to relax a bit while watching telly. I got an update about the parcel (the anti weeds fabric for my gardens) delivery times. I tried to relax and write a little for my blog. But unfortunately, the workers had their radio on again, and from 7am onwards, throughout the house, the droning noises of the basses could be heard. And I can’t filter these sounds. And I can’t use headphones or Buds all day in my own home either. Well, I could… But! With the pressure I still have behind my ears, the tinnitus being awfully loud, my head hurting because of it… ANC (active noise-canceling) options do seem to put a little “pressure” on your ears, or so it feels to me. Which meant that I could “zone out” the droning ongoing noise for a while, but at the cost of my tinnitus and headache worsening still… 😔 I understand workers wanting a radio while they work. But the radio was about 50m (almost 55 yards) from my house and I could hear the droning of the bass in every room… 😢
I waited for the parcel to be delivered. Then, finally, the doorbell rang and there was banging on the door. I got up quickly, and while walking to the door, the delivery person wanted to start writing a note! I know I’m not the fastest, I know they’re under time pressure, but still, do give me 20 seconds to get to the door. The delivery man told me my parcel was in the back garden! Well… I’m glad I didn’t order something fragile 😂 because he threw it over the 1,8m fence!
I checked the box, it was my weeds’ fabric, so yay for that. I just got to the couch and the doorbell rang again, also with pounding on the door! It was the “normal” post (which should fit into the mailbox) delivery person, and she had two envelopes for me. But… 🤔 One of them should contain 120 pins to use on the weed fabric, to keep it in place. And I was very sure that this was definitely not in either of those envelopes. One item was my Star Wars Blu-ray to complete all movies on disc (finally). The other seemed to be a short cable to use with a guitar of some sort?! 🤔 Definitely not the pins I ordered, paid for, and need… So yeah! I could arrange for another return parcel and find a suitable replacement, as I was not going to try and order with those folks again, if they make such a big mistake. I can understand them sending a package of 50 instead of 120. But to send something so different… They can’t have checked the order before packaging and sending… 😔
I prepared the envelope for the return, which I’ll need to take to a postbox and send back ASAP. I found another company that had pins, a bit more expensive unfortunately, but hopefully they will send the right item to me… 🤞🏻
I was so annoyed. The ongoing droning basses. The incompetence of people picking and sending orders. The efforts I now had to make to send it back, to find a replacement, to hope for my money back ASAP… Ugh…
I wrote an email to a friend. And then I went out for a while, to walk with my neighbor and her fluffy black 🖤 dog. It was nice to chat a bit and to be out of the noise for a while.
When I got back, it was time to get ready for bed. I was terribly tired after the short night I had. I wanted to be rested enough to go to the gym the upcoming night. So I went to bed.
It took a while before I was comfortable to fall asleep. I woke up once for the loo, and then again when my alarm went off. According to my watch, I had 7:50 of sleep, so not bad at all. Ready to start a new “day”.
Friday
I had a decent enough night. I woke up once and then when my alarm went off and told me it was time. I got to the scale, which was very kind to me. I wondered what had caused the drop in weight, until I realized that the previous day, I had only eaten breakfast! I’d been so stressed and exhausted that I didn’t even notice that I could be hungry. Normally I would not forget to eat, as my tummy would remind me of that. I had felt some rumblings, but I figured that it could have been my bowels. But nope, now I understood…
I got dressed and took my meds. When I was done, I grabbed my bag and headed for the gym. It felt good to be going back again. I switched my shoes and enjoyed my protein shake. Then I went to the seated bike and enjoyed a ride. After a nice massage in the chair, I switched my shoes and headed back home again.
I washed up and got to the couch. I wrote my journal Toot there and replied to an email of a very sweet friend. I realized that I had not finished my blog post yet, so I made sure to finish it and set it to share at 7am. I watched some telly and tried to relax.
flic.kr/p/2rzNSU6
After I enjoyed some brekky, I got the envelope and took it to the mailbox, as it needed to be returned. It wasn’t what I ordered and paid for, and I wanted to get my money back and all that. It was decent enough weather for a walk, and when I got back, I got most of my steps in for the day.
I got back and tried to relax for a bit. I checked the heat pump pressure, and it was just a tiny bit lower than the previous day. Maybe this was a good sign? 🤞🏻
I was still dealing with an annoying headache, as the pressure behind my ears was still present. I tried to massage my neck, use heated cherry pits, and hoped for some relief. Around 7:45, Skoosh and I headed to Lidl, so I could be in and out when it opened.
I got my groceries and headed back home. I made myself a bite to eat, as my body wasn’t really happy with me barely eating anything the previous day. I got the DVD box of season one of NCIS, and I got to the couch, where I tried to relax. Unfortunately, there was a lot of noise coming from outside and my headache was really bugging me.
I was waiting for my new parcel to arrive, which would hopefully contain the pins that I need for the weeds’ fabric for my gardens. At some point, I heard a loud bang and… Well, let’s say that there was a partially broken box in my garden now… It seems the delivery person thinks this is the best way to deliver parcels these days… Fortunately, I had not ordered a set of crystal glasses 😂.
flic.kr/p/2rzLoub
I tried to relax a bit more, but the noise from outside was making me bonkers. 😔 After some more NCIS, the neighbor texted that she was ready to walk with the black 🖤 fluff, I got ready to join. I needed to escape the noise for a while.
When we got back, my head was not doing too well. I went to bed a little early. But the radio from workers that were busy in a garden nearby was triggering me too much. The constant bass noise was too much, and I wasn’t able to filter or block it. Even with a series on my phone.
In the end, while I was yawning my jaw off, I tried to use a MyNoise® sound and I turned to my other side. After a while, I finally was able to fall asleep.
I didn’t wake up until 15 minutes before the alarm was set to go off. Which was quite something for me, as I usually wake up at least once for the loo. So of course I had to rush to it. After that, I used the scale, got dressed, and I started my “day”.
Saturday
I had a good night! A weird one for me, as it was one where I didn’t wake up for the loo just once… When I finally dozed off, I slept all through till the alarm went off. According to my watch, I got about 7½ hours of sleep, so not too bad at all. The scale wasn’t too unkind either, as I had expected it to go up again after a day when I did eat normally. 😊 I got dressed and took my meds. Then I got ready to head to the gym again.
flic.kr/p/2rzYvXq
I enjoyed my protein shake and checked my social media bits. Then I got to the seated bike and I managed to ride for half an hour. I enjoyed a massage in the chair after that, before I switched my shoes again and headed back home.
I washed up and changed clothes. Got to the couch and I wrote my journal Toot. Even though I had a decent sleep, I felt a bit tired. But not from doing things, more from just having no spoons to begin with. I got my laptop and worked on my blog. I had to finish my post for today, and then I finished an email to a sweet friend.
flic.kr/p/2rA5L4k
After some relaxing, I got myself to the treadmill and I walked for half an hour. Then I fixed myself brekky and relaxed with some telly. I headed upstairs, rode the bike for a while. And then I got silly and I tried to use the rower for 5 minutes. This went well enough, but it was hard to do. After the rowing, I went to the front room and folded all the dried clothes.
Went back downstairs and tried to relax a little more. Wanted to write a bit for my blog again, while I was watching NCIS season 1 on DVD. I got an update about the parcel with the gift for my neighbor, so I was on the lookout for them. They came rather late in the time slot, but they did come, and they did deliver. I texted the neighbor that I had the present. And then I wrote some more for my blog.
flic.kr/p/2rAag5D
She came to pick up the parcel and really loved the prezzie in it. So that was a good thing! 😁 After that, I got my eReader and I tried to read a bit. My brain wanted to do so many things, and it wanted to do them all at the same time. I managed to take a few snaps of some of my vinyls, and I managed to read about 1½ chapters, before the other neighbor texted me that she and the black 🖤 fluff were heading out for walkies.
flic.kr/p/2rA4iKx
We had a nice walk. And then I read the rest of the chapter of my book, before I got ready to head to bed. It took a little while until I fell asleep. Woke up twice for the loo, and then when my alarm went off. According to my watch, I got quite some sleep, about 8½ hours… The scale wasn’t unkind, and I got dressed and ready to start my “day”.
Happy Sundog / Sunday
I had a rather decent night. Woke up a few times, but still got a few hours of sleep in. My watch said it was a little over 8½ hours of sleep, guess I needed that… I got to the scale, which wasn’t too unkind, and then I got dressed. I took my meds and got ready to head to Skoosh, back to the gym.
I switched my shoes and checked the social media bits while enjoying my protein shake. When I was ready, I headed to the seated bike. I managed a 20-minute ride. Then I went to the massage chair. I feel so lazy with only doing so little exercise while at the gym. But I know it’s good for me to keep going and to take it slow. Too much pressure may feel good at first, but not when it starts working against me. After the massage, I switched my shoes and headed back home again.
I washed up and got to the couch. I wrote my journal Toot, and then I grabbed my laptop to work on my blog a little while. I was feeling so out of spoons, while I also wanted to do this and that. But I just couldn’t, and I felt bad about it. Somehow, it’s so hard for me to accept that sometimes, I just need to take it easy. Some moments, it’s OK to just watch telly and browse some internet…
flic.kr/p/2rA5EL8
I wanted to get my steps in, but I wasn’t up for a treadmill walk. So I went outside and walked the old SniffiVerse™ walkies. I got emotional, as it brought back memories and I missed Arwen again. Damn, will the pain ever get easier to bear? 😢
When I got back, I relaxed a bit. Then I went upstairs, and I tried to ride the bike for a bit. I also checked the pump’s pressure and for now, it seems to be rather stable! Which is a very good thing, for sure!
flic.kr/p/2rAdo4M
I finally decided I was going to give Tidal a try. I signed up for the 60 days trial for €2, to see if it would be a suitable replacement for Spotify. I texted my friends that use my account to tell them I was finally going to try it out, and if I liked it, I’d make the switch. So then I could take the Tidal family and share again, or they keep their Spotify and start paying for themselves 😉. But first, I wanted to try it out, as I heard good things about it.
I set everything up and after that, I tried to relax. Even something simple as setting up a new account and transferring my things and all had been hard for me to do. This is not me, I used to do things like this without any real efforts… Ugh… Me does not like this at all!

I tried to relax some more with NCIS on DVD. And after a while, I got a text from the neighbor, saying she was heading out with her big black 🖤 fluff. So we went out for a walk together. After that, I got ready to head to bed. It took a while for me to get comfortable. But then I finally dozed off.
I woke up a few times for the loo, and then when my alarm went off. According to my watch, I got almost 8:15 sleep in! So another long night. I got up and started my “day”.

I mean, it's not awesome that we have this feeling, but I was actually recently thinking of asking if anyone else has these fears. Then i stumbled upon your toot.
