Back

Ello sweet and lovely Friendos

I is back folks! Been getting to the notifications, and now I'm slowly getting ready to get busy at the gym.

I had a decent enough night, woke once after a silly dream, and had to go to the loo. Then I fell asleep again, and I don't think I had any weird dreams, until the alarm woke me up.

Today should be a fun day! No weeding today. I do need to give my arms and hands some rest, especially as my right elbow is displaying symptoms of being a "tennis elbow" at the moment. (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/tennis-elbow/symptoms-causes/syc-20351987) so it definitely needs a day of rest. Even though that's hard as the gardens aren't done yet! Well, the front bit is a long way done, it needs the last bit of weeds pulled out and then I need to rake it properly, which will be hard too, to get all the last bits out and to make it less like a moon surface . But... That's planned for Tuesday morning.

Today, I wanna visit the Zoo for a few hours. I didn't go last month, as appointments kept popping up. So now, I wanna go! I wanted to go this Friday, but then mum's surgery got scheduled for Friday, so Monday it is. So this morning, I'll walk Arwen. Then I'll pack my little bag (ow I need to charge the battery for the camera that I wanna take, just in case), and then get ready to take Arwen to Nijmegen. I'll get Arwen to my parents and then I'll drive towards the zoo. It opens at 9, but I don't mind being a little earlier. When it opens, I'll get in, and then I hope it will be less busy for the first two hours. Last time, it got a lot busier around 10:30/11:00, so that was a good time for me to head home. When it's less crowded, it's way easier to relax and watch the animals in peace... I love it!

Makes me with that they could do an "autistic aimed morning" some days, where the "normal" folks aren't allowed, so things will be calmer, hopefully. I know they are doing more and more events with "less stimulus" moments, so yeah, a zoo without loads of screaming and running kids... Sounds like heaven... But that's just autistic me making big wishes... Not trying to be unkind, but I just hate it when kids start screaming at the animals to do things... They're not circus animals, and it can startle them so they move away from the noise, instead of "doing the fun things".... If that makes sense...

After the zoo, I'll pick up Arwen again. If dad is up, I hope he can help me to order a pair of prescription sunglasses. I got some money, and I do need prescription sunglasses, as the clip-on for the normal glasses is OK enough in winter but not in summer... But I want the special kind of glasses, as my eyes are so sensitive, so that's quite some money. But now I saved some and I got some as a thank you from an instance, so I can order me a pair. The pair I was drooling over, they're about €250 more expensive than the one I found now, so that's not gonna happen... But drooling can be nice. So fingers crossed we can order it together.

If the hospital doesn't call me today, then I'll call them tomorrow. I will have waited two weeks and I'm very eager to know a date! So as much as I hate calls, I will prepare a script for that call, and then call them Tuesday morning after the 9 o'clock walkies.... Ugh... Already get sweaty hands thinking about it... But I need that date to be scheduled....

So first! The gym, SniffiVerse™ walkies, some relaxing, another walkies, and then the zoo! Yay!

A nice start to the new week, me thinks! hope you all had a decent weekend and that the new week will start (or had started, for some of you) the best way possible!
