I'm relieved that...

...I don't need to leave the house today!

It's snowed overnight so I'd best keep the living room door closed while I bring my groceries in!

Mornin' all

Well, I had a bad night last night and my Visible score is only 2 out of 5 today, but I've gotta do two loads of laundry, sort and hang it up, bring my groceries in and put them away as well as my laps, sit-ups and crunches, so today is gonna be a bad day for me by the looks of things.

So far this morning I've taken my Visible reading and my blood pressure, popped my 10 morning pills, got washed and changed and had my breakfast.

It's gonna be water for every lunch this week and possibly instant soup for tea, with a bottle of fruit juice for breakfast, so it's gonna be a week of liquids again this week.

The daily virus scan was reassuringly clear, so that's a positive.

Time to get today's to-do list together now I reckon.

BBIAB

Nite nite orl

It's been a long, exhausting 'cos of my laps, sit-ups and crunches as well as changing the bed, so I've taken my last two pills of the day and I'm heading straight on up to bed.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl
