Here I is again, back from da snoozes, back in da night... :kirby_star2:

I woke up a bit early, but I slept in one go, so that was a good thing I guess. I was rather tired when I went to bed, so it didn't take too long to fall asleep this time.

Today should be OK enough. Need to walk to the supermarket when they open. And the neighbor will help me with the privacy cloth for the garden after the last walkies. So hopefully that will go well.

Hopefully mum will know more today, as the hospital didn't do much this weekend, except keep her on meds to "keep her going". But she'll need the surgery and I do hope they can schedule her sooner rather than later, as this is really troubling her... But I also want her to be able to go on that balloon ride! And that's on the 18th of April. So either they should do the surgery ASAP, or she will want to wait till after the 18th. She's been looking forward to this ride for months now, and it's something from her wishlist, so I really want her to be able to go and do that!

And hopefully soon, the hospital (a different one from mum's 😉) will call me to schedule the surgery. If I don't hear anything this next week, I'll have to try to call them the week after. The doc said that they'd call me soon to schedule. He also said there is a 2 month waiting list, and they usually schedule about 6 weeks ahead so... If I'd call the week after this one it should be "about 6 weeks" before the "estimated" date. 😊

I know I could just wait, but last time I did that, with the surgery in 2021, I waited long and then I finally called them. And they kinda "forgot" to contact me. And then when I hung up, I got a date for the surgery! So yeah, as I want this to be done as soon as possible, I'm not gonna wait too long...
And dad really wants to be able to go on vacation this year... Which is good... But it would be very nice if I'd be recovered from the surgery then! 😉 (especially as my mum would like me to drive if I can).

I do wanna get some weeds out today, if weather allows. So, if I see N with walkies, I'll ask if she needs my garden stuff still, or if I can get it back so that I can make a start in my garden. Should she need it, then I'll just try to game some more... 😇 But yeah I do need to work on the weeds, as they're going wild! So hopefully I'll see N, and otherwise I'll just text her if the weather is good enough for it... I don't like the work but I know I need to do it...

I also need to hoover, so hopefully my body will allow me to do so. I hope to be able to do that before I head to the store this morning. I'll just walk to the Plus, so I won't need Skoosh, and I'll get some steps in.

Wednesday, Skoosh needs to go to the garage for some TLC (her maintenance). Dad will take her. So I will head to Nijmegen in the early morning, switch Skoosh with the Smurf (their car), and I'll take Bas with me, as dad will be away the whole day. On Thursday I'll head back to Nijmegen, and I'll go to Germany for some groceries then as well. I don't know if mum will be free from the hospital then (otherwise I don't need to take Bas). But it's good to plan ahead so I know what to expect. 😇

Anywhoo.... Loads of babbling! 😂 Let's check the other socials and then I should do something sporty here. Hihi... 😉 Let's start the new week!

@PixysJourney TL;DR: OP woke up well-rested, has errands (supermarket, garden work), hopes for updates on mom's upcoming surgery (so she can go on her balloon ride April 18th), needs to schedule their own surgery, and plans trips to Nijmegen and Germany mid-week.

@PixysJourney The image depicts a serene lakeside scene with a chocolate brown dog standing on the sandy shore. The dog is positioned in the foreground, facing the camera, with its body slightly turned to the right. Its fur appears wet, suggesting it may have been in the water. The lake is calm, with gentle ripples on the surface, and a large, partially submerged tree branch is visible in the water, adding a natural element to the scene. The background features a dense line of tall, dark green trees, indicating a forested area along the lake's edge. The sky is overcast, contributing to the muted lighting and overall tranquil atmosphere. The sandy shore is interspersed with small patches of grass and scattered twigs, enhancing the natural setting.
