Mornin' all

i woke up late and almost forgot about my weekly virus scan and backups happening today, but thanks to the reminder on my phone I started off the virus scan without opening my email programmes.

I've taken my morning pills so I'm just waiting for my morning carer now.

I've decided against having any breakfast this morning, just the salad for a hopefully early lunch.

My mum, brother and his little family are coming over this afternoon and it'll be the first time I've seen them in 13 years so I'm nervously excited about that.

The Hoover (that my enabler forced me to buy) is being picked up somewhere between 8am and 8pm today so it's all go and a potentially late night for me today.

I'm gonna work on today's to-do list then go and make myself a bottle of squash while I wait for my carer now.

Nite nite orl

I've had enough stress for one day so I've taken my last two pills of the day and I'm gonna head to bed now.

Nite nite orl.

Today's (1st August 2023) lunch photo

Today's lunch was just my standard salad again - 1 serving of sweet & crispy salad, 4 radishes, 5 cherry tomatoes and I finished off the coleslaw that was started 6 days ago lol  There wasn't much protein 'cos I need to save that for tomorrow when I see my blood family for the first time in 13 years and a month!

Here's today's lunch photo:

Today's (1st August 2023) breakfast photo

T'was just my usual breakfast again this morning but I forgot to take a photo of it before I started munching away on it!  Thankfully I remembered before I finished eating, so that's better than nothing.

As normal, it was a (large this morning so that I could finish off the box) bowl of berries and cherries muesli with plant protein soya milk, the last pack of apple and grapes as well as, of course, my standard bottle of orange juice.

Here's my semi-eaten breakfast photo:

Mornin' all

I think it's gonna be one of those days with technology today 'cos I've been down here for over an hour and it's taken that long to be able to start a new blog post!

My carer is due any minute now so I'm gonna keep this short and make a start on today's to-do list before she arrives.  I've taken my morning pills and the daily virus scan was still clear, so that's a relief.  I've also put in another grocery order for 4 weeks' time and I'll have to remember to put the bags down by the front door as soon as my lunchtime carer has gone.  I've got 2 deliveries due today too, so it's all go!

Gonna publish this now and see how much of today's to-do list I can sort out and put up before my first carer of the day arrives.
