Nite nite orl

It's been a long, tiring, stressful, painful day today and my arm is weaker and stiffer than normal so I've popped my last two pills of the day a bit early and I'm gonna head on up to bed for a well-deserved early night.


I've put proper food (as opposed to soya yoghurts) on tomorrow's grocery order so I'll see if having a full belly of proper food (as opposed to 20 slices of apple for lunch) helps me to recover a bit more strength... I just hope there's room in the freezer now!  lol


I'll see you all in the morning.


Nite nite orl.

Today's (28th October 2024) breakfast photo

My first meal of the week was 2 slices of wholemeal 'Toastie' toast and 'Buttery' spread with a 500ml glass of water.


I'm not sure when I'll feel up to eating again after my jab this morning, but I've got plenty of ginger beer and crystalised ginger to keep me going as well so I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed that there are only 2 weeks of side effects (like last years jab) rather than the 10 weeks I suffered with the first one.


Here's today's breakfast photo:


Just weighed myself and...

...I'm still overweight, but not by as much as I'd hoped, so I can have a few icky days but I've gotta try even harder to eat even if I don't feel up to it.

Mornin' all

I've had a pretty productive start to the day after waking up at just gone 3.45am desperate for a wee and I decided to stay up after that.  In the 45 minutes that I've been awake, I've managed to:

  • Go for a wee
  • Take my blood pressure
  • Go for another wee
  • Take the bread out of the freezer
  • Start my laptop
  • Set off the monthly virus scan
  • Take my morning pills
  • Go for yet another wee
so I've already achieved a pretty decent amount this morning.

Getting nervous about my jab this morning and anxious about if I'll get the same side effects as I've had before.

Time to publish this first post of the day and hopefully put today's to-do list together before I have my breakfast.  Gotta remember to weigh myself and log the weight into the FitBit app when I've had my breakfast too.

BBS (I hope)

Nite nite orl

I've had an exhausting day today and I'm really not looking forward to tomorrow morning and I've gotta remember to start the monthly virus scan as soon as I come down tomorrow... you watch me forget though!  lol


I'm gonna have a well-deserved early night tonight so I've popped my last two pills of the week and I'm heading on up to beddy-byes now.


I'll see you all in the morning.


Nite nite orl.
