Mornin' all

I've remembered to have my glass of water to take my morning pills with, not to open my email programmes 'cos of the monthly virus scan, to set the virus scan going and I can also officially stop worrying about the colour of my wee 'cos an admittedly non-medical site says that the colour means that I'm well hydrated, so I can stop worrying about that now.

My delivery is almost "out for delivery" so hopefully that'll arrive in plenty of time for me to have an early night.

There's a few minutes before the earliest my carer could turn up, so I'm gonna start to put my to-do list together for today and hopefully remember to put the reminders from last night onto it so that I don't forget to look today.

BBIAB

Nite nite orl

I've achieved a pretty decent amount today so I can go to bed feeling pretty proud of myself.

I'm just watching a recording of something then I'm gonna head to bed, but I'm shutting down this browser now, so I'll say nite nite to you all and I'll see you in the morning.

Today's (27th October 2023) lunch photo

Today's lunch was made entirely by my carer in the 6 minutes it took me to put my laptop on the floor and go for a wee!  It was only a tin of baked beans again so I'm 636 calories under budget and this afternoons physio will burn even more calories so I'll be even further under by the time I head to bed tonight so I'll definitely have lost weight on Monday instead of putting it on like I've wanted to for the last few weeks.

I've got my jabs on Monday too, so if I'm affected as badly as I have been since I started having them I won't be able to eat until the middle of November at the earliest and even keeping water in my stomach will be a challenge in itself without adding food to it too!

Here's today's lunch photo:

Caring total for the week so far:

Monday:  1 minute at lunchtime to dish up the leftover Sunday roast

Tuesday:  6 minutes - 1 minute in the morning to put a plaster on my back and 5 minutes to post a letter for me in a postbox that's less than a minute away from here.

Wednesday:  0 minutes - I hope I won't be charged for today, but I prolly will be, just like the other times in the past

Thursday:  0 minutes - she made a difficult job even worse by standing with her body right up against mine as I was getting washed and the rest of it is in the rant I've just posted.

Thurs Lunch:  8 minutes - not only did she do the cooking but she washed up too this afternoon!

Friday:  2 minutes - she helped me to put my bra on back to front twice

Fri Lunch:  6 minutes - she did the cooking at full heat so it had gone from the tin to the bowl in the time it took me to put my laptop on the floor and go for a wee.  She also did the washing up so I had a lot of care today!

Total care I'll be billed for so far this week:  5 hours

Total care I've actually received this week:  23 minutes
