#Journal of a slightly more OK Dutch Pixy :pixy_party: (Thursday, 10/07/2025).

After a fairly decent night, mostly thanks to the comfort and care of little Bas, I got up and ready for a new day. Today, mum and I would be going to Germany to get the "German groceries". I prepared everything for brekky, so when mum came down, she only needed to let Bas out for a wee, and then she could slide in and enjoy the nomnoms.

When brekky was done, we walked a short round with Bas and then we got ready to head to Germany. We were a bit earlier than we had aimed for, but that wasn't a bad thing at all. The trip to Germany went rather well, not too much annoying traffic along the way. We got our groceries and mum filled up the car.

Driving home to Herpen, I got an email with the bill for Arwen's cremation. So I made sure that I would pay it right away, hoping that it would not take too much time then to be able to take her back home with me.

On the way back, we made a short stop at the little supermarket in my town, for the two things we needed that they didn't have in Germany. When we got back, Bas was very glad to see us. We unpacked most of the bits and bops, but Bas was running wild, so I thought he might needed to go out. So we first walked Bas, and then mum finished up with the groceries.

I did my exercises on my bed, after which I needed some time to relax. I chilled out on my bed with some telly. Every time mum left the room, Bas rushed to me. Every time she got back, he was off again... Silly little furball.

After mum and I had relaxed a bit, we took Bas out for another walk. We watched some telly together, until it was time for me to fix some food for us. Mum had already made sure that Bas his little belly had been filled.

Around 19:30, we went for another short walk. After that, I got into my PJ's. According to my watch, I had made about 5000 steps, so that was more than enough. But, it did feel good. I had been out and about, I had some fun with Basje, I had done my exercises and relaxed a bit... It wasn't a bad day at all.

When it was time to head to bed, Bas waited till mum was almost all way up the stairs. Then he rushed to my bed and made sure to cuddle up against me straight away. And, like the previous night, every time I went to the loo, we was waiting patiently for me to come back. When I was settled, he'd make himself comfortable, cuddling up against me.

I didn't get too many hours of sleep, but the ones that I got were decent enough, thanks to the little furball. He will be going home again and I will probably miss him (and his cuddles) loads.

#Journal of a slightly positively distracted Dutch Pixy :pixy_party: (Wednesday, 09/07/2025).

I didn't have the best night, but I managed some sleep here and there. In the morning, while I was still dozing a bit on my bed, and mum was upstairs getting dressed and all that, bestie called me on her way to work. We had a nice chat till she arrived. Then, mum came down and we had brekky. When we were done, we got our things sorted, and we went to the car, and then to my parent's house in Nijmegen.

Dad had an outing thingie today, and their dog, Bas, was home alone. And the cleaning help would be coming in the early afternoon, so mum needed to be home to open up and prepare everything for the help. So, after brekky, and after the busiest traffic had passed, we went to Nijmegen to annoy Bas a bit. 😉

Mum had to do some things, and while she was busy, I was abusing the tablet I brought to work on my blog post honoring Arwen. It was hard, to think of all the things we'd been through in almost 12 years together. There was so much we did, so much we overcame, so much happiness besides the darker bits... So, I started writing and I let my emotions guide the post. I went with the things that came to me while writing. I didn't think too much about needing to add other things. No, the thoughts I had now, the memories that were coming to me now, they must be some of the important ones, so they will need to be included. I didn't want to write a 150 page memoir about everything. I wanted to capture how special she was, accompanied by some little vids and snaps.

When I had finished the post, I saved the text and sent it to my bestie. I asked her to proofread it. Were there things I needed to formulate differently, were there things that she knew about that I should include as well? When she replied later that day, she said it was perfect, just the way it was, and it had made her emotional... 🥲 Guess that's all that I needed to know.

Mum was done with some of the things she wanted to do. So then, we went for a short walk with Bas, as dad never goes out with him (I know, I hate that too!). So we had a nice walk, and Bas could do his things and get some new sniffs in. When we got back, mum started preparing things for the help, so that she could do her thing while mum and I were going to the supermarket.

When we got back with the groceries, mum asked the help if she minded if mum and I would go to my home, before the traffic would be too busy along the way. The help didn't mind at all, so we got the things in the car, including the little furball, and we headed to my home. We were fortunate, as the traffic wasn't too bad yet, but it was getting a bit busier already. Had we gone later, then we'd probably had been caught in the "usual" traffic jam that occurs daily on the road between my parents and me.

Bas ran into the house, and he just was so confused. He went looking everywhere, but he could not find his big girlfriend. He was crying a little as he was rushing through the rooms, and I just cried a bit along with him... I share(d) his pain...

When the groceries had mostly been put away, Bas wanted some walkies, so we first took him out. It was nice to go for a little walk with a furball along the way. Mum and I had been taking little walks so I could get the walking exercise in every day. But, it did feel better with a little doggo along for the walk... 😊

We got back, and mum finished the groceries, while I sat on the bad and started several of my exercises. After that, I lay on the bed with some telly to relax. I tried to get Bas to join me, but he wasn't too enthusiastic about it. Mum then joined me for some telly and relaxing time. After some relaxing, we took Bas out for a short walk again.

I fixed some food for mum and myself, and mum fixed food for little Bas. We relaxed a bit with some more telly. Then a short walk again with Bas. He is used to doing "his things" in the garden, but my garden isn't really suitable for that. It needs to be de-weeded first. If he'd do his things in between all the weeds now, it would be even more messy to start working on the garden when I can... So, we go out for some short walkies, just as we were used to doing with Arwen.

Mum and I finished watching Wicked, and we found out, we need to wait for part 2 to know how it will end. Hmmm... 🤔 I browsed a bit in the available series, and found one that could be interesting for both mum and me, and I had not seen it yet either. Yay, small win! When it was time to go to bed, mum let Bas out for a final wee, and then she got ready for bed. Bas is used to going upstairs with my parents for sleepy time, but he can't use my stairs, and it would be easier for mum to have him downstairs with me. He isn't alone, as I am in the living room as well.

The first hour or so, Bas was a bit restless. When he found a spot to snooze, I was able to fall asleep as well. When I woke up for the loo, Bas joined me. Which was funny, as he walked under me as I was sitting there. That looked so weird! 😂 Then, I went back to bed and... I almost sat on Bas! Apparently, he was able to jump on the bed my himself! I shoved him a bit to the side, and he just sat there, looking at me like "whatcha doin'?". When I had settled, he made a few rounds and then he snuggled up against me. So sweet... And it didn't take too long before I fell asleep again.

I woke up twice more, and every time I got back from the loo, Bas was sitting there, waiting for me. And every time when I had settled, he would find his spot and cuddle up against me to snooze again... When I woke up the last time, ready to get up, I had slept for about 6½ hours. So not too much, but the hours I got with Bas, they sure made me feel a bit more relaxed. 😊
