#Journal of a slightly enthusiastic Dutch Pixy (Wednesday, 03/09/2025).

I had fallen asleep a tad early. I had woken up a few times during the night, feeling achy and sweaty (my age perhaps? 🤔). When I woke up again around midnight I was wide awake. I scrolled on my phone for a while and then I got ready to start my day a little earlier than planned.

Because I didn't sleep between 12-2, my sleep score was rather low this time, with only 74. But it was also because I had only slept around 6 hours tonight... My energy score was even lower, as it depends more on the time that you are asleep. Somehow you can't change your sleeping pattern hours in the energy score bit, and if you don't sleep between 12-2, as I mentioned, your sleep score goes down a lot. I only got a score of 57, saying my sleep was getting in danger. Well, I did have a bad night, but still... I've had worse...

Scale, meds, getting dressed. Got to Skoosh and we headed to the gym. As my PT had said what I was and wasn't allowed to do, I just started with the seated bike again. Then, I went to the treadmill. I felt a bit wobbly, like my right leg is a bit shorter than the left one. 🤔 Must ask my PT about this on Tuesday. I walked at 2,5kmh with a 2% incline for 0,25km. Then without the incline for 50 meters. It felt weird but also satisfying, in a way. Then I used the hip abductor (pushing the knees outward) on lowest setting for a wee bit, which went better than I expected. I almost wanted to add more weight, but I remembered the PT's warning and I didn't.

Then I got ready to head back home again. Back home, I changed my clothes and headed upstairs. I worked on my blog for a while. Got back down, where I wrote some bits on my tablet. After some writing and some telly, I got ready to head out for a walk. I played a little Ingress and managed to walk a bit further. When I got back, I made me some brekky.

After the food, I went upstairs and I rode my home trainer for half an hour. During that time, bestie called me and we had a nice chat while she rode to her work. I was a bit tired of the walk and riding, so I watched some telly on bed. When I was a tad more rested, and the weather seemed to improve a little, I decided to head out to for another walk.

After the walk, I was eagerly waiting for an update from DHL. They would deliver my pendant parcel to the parcel dispenser safe in town today. I was hoping they'd do it early, so I could walk to the supermarket (where the safe is) and retrieve it. I never used it before, so I hoped that it would be as easy as they said. But first, I needed an email with the code.

As it was dry, I went to Skoosh, who fortunately was parked behind the house, and I took out the special dog protection cover. I still need to hoover the car, but I need to be a bit more "bendy" to be able to do that. Maybe, if the weather os good enough, I will visit the car wash before PT next week and then get the hoover through it as well. It was a bit emotional to get the cover out. It felt like I was "getting rid of" Arwen from Skoosh. I still have her ball in my car and I won't take that out. I tried to get most of the sand out, I shook out the cover, and then I headed back inside.

I fixed some food, watched some telly, and tried to relax a bit. Around noon, I got the notification. Slipped on my shoes and headed to the store. It was a bit of a longer walk, as it was about 1km to the store, and then back again. So I was hoping that I could manage it... I got to the safe, didn't figure out how to scan the QR I got, so manually added the code. Got a sweet little box out of it, and then I started my walk back.

All went well, fortunately. When I got home, I unpacked the box and found a beautiful pendant. It really looked wonderful. It was heavier than I thought, so I need to get used to wearing the weight, and I won't wear it everywhere, as I am scared something may happen to it. But yeah, I loved it! I tried to take a snap of it to share with some family and friends. I got a tad emotional because of it, so I spent some time sobbing and such. And then I got very tired, so I tried to relax with some telly. I had managed to get to 10k steps, and I had done some exercises, so I felt good about myself. Tired and a bit sore, but good.

After some telly I decided I would change my clothes, take my meds, get my eReader and just read until I would doze off. I fell asleep rather soon/early, around 16:11, or so my watch told me. But then, I was very tired, so I guess it was for the best... I woke up twice during the night for the loo. Around 0:42 I got up and started my day, as I felt rested enough now. My watch told me I had slept a little over 8 hours, so that was a good thing. Ready to start my new day.

PS. The image I share now is the crystal glass heart that I ordered for my friends, but then I used the image that I used for the pendant (Arwen and her paw). I hope @altbot can make a good description for me.
