Busy morning! Again π but... I blame Arwen this time π.
We had the early SniffBook walkies. But she already wanted a buggy walk...
Our friend and their dog will join us for a walk around 8. But we probably won't be able to do the water walk...
Sooooo in order to keep my gall happy, I'm gonna squeeze in buggy walkies as well. If all goes well, we'll have an hour rest then before the next walk π.
Which means we'll head to the shed soon and start our way...
If the weather gets worse throughout the day, she should be good enough with short walks I hope...
Sooooo, let's hit the loo and then get Arwen and myself ready for the buggy walk. I guess I'll get my steps in again today... π
Arwen wanted a longer walk and now we're home a bit before we should go out for last walkies. π
So I guess I'll change the alarm and just get up a little earlier. She's kinda tired from the longer walk, and I'm tired from the chores and some gaming...
Wishing you all a fantastic (rest of the) day! πΈ
I'll catch up with all again when I've had my beauty sleep. π΄
It just happened!
I did it!
Too scary...
But maybe too good to miss out on...
Looks like sometime next year, I'll be moving to a small house!
It's expected to be done in "summer 2024", so that gives me time to get all the ducks π¦ gathered and probably line them up in a neat row as well.
Will definitely need help. Will hopefully receive it as well. Fingers crossed π€π»
Damn... It feels good but also terribly scary... π«£
So, yesterday (Wednesday) was a bit different than the past 10 weeks or so... I don't have group on Thursday anymore which means mum and I can resume out groceries shopping in Germany on Thursdays again, instead of Wednesday.
I got up a wee bit before the alarm. It was very cold, well, cold enough for me. I got dressed and prepared Arwen's food. We went for walkies and then I finished Arwen's meal. She got a snack on the couch and I headed to the gym.
Got on the scale first and it was super kind to me! Compared to my measurements of the 12th (10 days ago) I lost 1,5 kilos. I definitely had not expected that. π
I started with some arm exercises, even though it should be leg day. Just wasn't up to them I guess. After some arm training I got to the seated bike for my usual simple ride. Then, I felt OK enough and I hit some of the leg exercises that I should have started with. But hey, doing them now so good on me!
Then I got home and had some breakfast. Let Arwen out for a pee and then I did something totally weird to most π. I hate the long, green, bits of leak in my food. I had gotten a big bin of Nasi Goreng from the supermarket. It was enough for two meals. So I got two smaller bins and... I slowly devided the big one over the smaller ones, trying to scoop out all the leeks I could find. And yeah, I did measure the weights to be sure they were as equally devided as possible. π
I got to my hometrainer next. I wanted to ride 90+5 minutes but I got distracted so I ended with 98 minutes. It was just on a low setting due to my muscles struggling, but I rode it nevertheless and it felt good. π
After washing up and getting dressed again, we went for our 3km walkies with our friend and their dog. The weather was cold but fortunately also dry. Then I went onwards to the Lidl, as I'd not been able to go on Monday, as I usually do. When I got back I fixed some food and then got to the treadmill. I walked slowly for an hour. It felt very long and I was bummed I could not go a bit faster. But again I had to remind myself that it was a 60% kinda day the way my muscles felt, so I had to relax.
On my way back from the Lidl a dear friend called me and we had a nice chat as I was going about my groceries. Ow after that I took them to the voting area across the street as I felt I should vote for the House of Representatives this time around.
They were still chatting with me when I started my treadmill walk, after I had some food. My food was crunchy so I apologized for my eating sounds often π.
After a bit we said goodbye and I was almost done with the treadmill walk then. So that had been nice. Some Downton till my hour was up.
I walked Arwen and got stuff ready for some coop gaming with a dear friend later on. Unfortunately they had some issues with their account and we had to play another game. Not that bad, it was still fun! Just not what we'd both been aiming for. π I started yawning and kept it going throughout the game! I guess I must have yawned their ears off!!
That always happens when it's in the afternoon and I sit down to relax. My body goes into a "you're not moving so let's yawn because you already did a lot" mode and it's kinda annoying. I hate yawning all the time, especially when I'm at a voice chat and trying to play a game...
Around 4 we closed up the game and before saying goodbye, my friend just vanished π! Haha! I got a big sorry text about that. I just laughed and said it was OK. I got ready for bed with the usual bits that I do. When Arwen and I went out, of course it started to rain. Just some drizzle but still kinda annoying. My bed was nice and cozy when I slipped in and I don't think I had loads of time to read before I dozed off... π΄
OK, something silly just came to my mind... (be aware this happens quite frequently π).
OK, so three things about me:
I don't get that many meltdowns but when they happen, I'm the worst person on the world. I'll always feel sorry after but that never changes the things that happened during said meltdown.
I am very stubborn and have super low self esteem. I struggle accepting compliments and I even struggle more with believing them, however often I hear them.
I can be very obsessed about something at one point and really hyper focus on it. Then my obsession changes and my focus does as well. But often... It's a roulating system between several obsessions that I go through in phases (like my TV series).
Just something that popped up in my mind just now...
I was talking to a dear friend when I got those thoughts. And with their permission, I shared it here, as they thought it was about me anyway. π
I'll definitely have another "3 things about me" if I come up with some more things I'd like so share.
Sometimes something very nice happens.
You get to meet someone that you click with. That you have fun with. That's like a long-lost friend.
Thanks to Mastodon I've made a few very good new friends and I am super grateful for them and their support!
I recently have been gaming a bit with one of those friends and he gave me some jolly good laughs, which were greatly appreciated.
So while I was dabbling with some AI, while AI and I still don't really work together well, I did manage to get this image made.
So I thought I would share it. Instead of writing for my blog like I should be doing now haha! I'm too easily distracted for my own good...
OK back to writing on my WP site now.
Have a lovely day dears!
TL;DR Arwen wanted to spend the night with me on my bed (she's my dog, FYI π)
Last night, well at the end of the afternoon, Arwen and I had gone for walkies. Arwen sometimes walks to my bedroom and looks at the bed. But usually when I ask her if she wants to sleep there, she just heads to the living room. But this time, she put her head on the side. The bed is too high for her to jump these days, so I lifted her up. She immediately took over the whole bed π!
I went to the living room to get my shoes off, grab Arwen's snacks and prepare everything for the next day (night). After a loo break, Arwen and I played the game of beds until I had a decent spot to sleep in. I quickly fell asleep with her beside me. It's been years since she really wanted to sleep with me like this and I almost feared that it might be her last night or something and she didn't want to be alone...
But every time I woke, she was there, snoring. Or pushing me out the bed π. During loo breaks I asked her if she wanted off and she stayed put. But when my alarm woke me, she was ready to go off and get out for walkies.
Of course I had to dress and prepare her food and all that.
But we had a good night together. I did have some weird dreams about exes, but every time I woke I stroked Arwen's fur and quickly was able to fall asleep again.
