Morning all. How are you doing today❓ It's just starting to get light out there, so I'm gonna take the puppy for her stroll now. BBS❗
➰➰➰
Back now and the puppy has been walked and fed so it's time for my pills now.
➰➰➰
Pills all went down a treat this morning... even the 5-HTP (use my name and email address in the referred by a friend if you're a new customer and you'll get, I think, 10% off your order) didn't have a chance to melt (like it usually does a bit), so hopefully that means today will be an even better day than yesterday❗
➰➰➰
Taken 5 photo's of the puppy dog while Steve's out and about again. Gonna put them on my site now while I remember... hold on.
➰➰➰
OK, the photo's are now up on my site and the hubby is back, so I'm lost now... what do I do with my time❓❓
➰➰➰
Just had a letter from my GP basically saying that there's a chance I'll recover from the psychotic depression but might relapse and that if I want to go down that route, he can refer me to a consultant psychiatrist to monitor me as I come off the AP's and that if I do relapse then I just need to go back onto them again.
The WKE is a bit more complicated... I've already written to the Neurologist who treated me while I was in hospital and I've got a phone number for a place that will be able to give me more information on hopefully my recovery, so I just need to contact them now.
Basically, there's a good chance I can recover from the psychosis and I just need to contact Headway about if I'll ever recover from the WKE. Need to remember to do that though - you watch me forget 🤣
➰➰➰
That's the virus scan finished. Reassuringly I'm still virus free, so time for the backups now.
➰➰➰
Just checked my bank account and I'll have 36p left in my account by the time Sunday rolls around. Thankfully I'll be getting my benefit on Monday so I'll be able to pay Steve back the £6 he lent me and I'll be able to replace the money that I took out of my other current account too and hopefully 🤞 be able to put some cash aside for a new external hard drive too. Need another £60 to get the one I want 'cos it's the best value for money, and I'll be able to afford it as long as Steve doesn't borrow any more money from me for the next few months.
➰➰➰
Got 840gb left on my external hard drive which'll see me through most of the rest of the year and means I can save up the almost £200 for a 10tb hard drive instead of the 6tb one I found an hour or so ago... mind you, it's only 4tb more for double the price❗ Hmmmm.
➰➰➰
The backups have finished so I've put it all away and can finally stretch my poor knee again. It's only once a week for a couple of hours though, so it's not too bad, in the grand scheme of things.
➰➰➰
Loads more photo's of the puppy this evening. Just waiting for my FTP programme to load up then they'll be up on my site.
➰➰➰
OK, the photo's are all up on my homepage now... loads and loads of 'em, considering the photo taking got off to a veeery slow start this morning...
She's just gone❗ I'm missing her already and she's only been gone for a minute❗ Literally❗ 😢 I'm gonna take me pills and head to bed now. Nite nite orl.

Tuesday 18th February 2020
Mornin' all.
The puppy has been walked and fed... need to remember to do an extra length this afternoon 'cos we came home a touch too soon today. All my pills 💊 went down really easily this morning so I'm hoping for another good day today... keep your fingers crossed 🤞 that today is a good day for me❓ Please❓
➰➰➰
Got the Fitbit email report on my site now and I'm currently uploading a photo of the sleepy puppy to the first page of my site. I'm hoping to get more photo's of her today, but no promises.
➰➰➰
Taken another photo 📷 of the puppy 🐶 and the wild bird feeders are filled up and ready to go outside now... Steve said he'll "do that when the potato's are cooking" for our lunch, so expect some photo's of our tiny back yard hopefully with some wild birds having a feed off them.
We used to only get seagulls because there was a big water bit right in the centre that they all swam on and demanded chips and crisps and jacket tatties from unknowing passers by. Thankfully it's been turned into a huge slap of concrete now and our nearest water is the Quays a few miles away. They used to nest on the bus depot, but they've stopped doing that too now, which is even better, so hopefully we'll get wrens and blue tits and robins etc coming to the feeders now... they're too small for thrushes and blackbirds and stuff but hopefully we'll get a bird table at some point in future if we get some birds coming to the feeders.
I think the RSPB were looking for people to record the birds in their garden or something weren't they❓❓ We're prolly too late for that now though, but we're still doing what we can for the wildlife❗ I'd love to get a hedgehog family visiting us too, but there's no way for them to get in and out of the back yard without coming through the house 'cos there's three 12 foot high walls and the house on the other side, so it's not suitable for things that can't fly. Maybe a bat box or something like that instead❓
➰➰➰
That's the puppy walked and fed again. As promised, Steve put the bird food containers up while we were out, so now we've just gotta be patient and hope that birds decide to visit us now.
I remembered about walking slower on our stroll, but it didn't make any difference to the active minutes, so maybe it does have to be distance rather than speed❓ Not to worry, I'm not going to increase the distance before the end of Summer unless the puppy wants to and my legs can cope with it.
➰➰➰
I've just taken the Calcium and it went down pretty easily and today is going well so far. Steve's just given me the requested 10 minute warning, so I'm gonna put my laptop on the floor and go and grab my jacket tatty. Be back this afternoon, after I've had me lunch🍴.
➰➰➰
Cor lummy, that was more filling than I thought... they were only small potatoes, but they filled me right up very quickly. I'm not bloated, but not far off it❗
➰➰➰
Just put another 4 photo's and 2 video's of the puppy onto my site and I'm thinking that I'll have an early night tonight 'cos I'm already totally cream-crackered even though I haven't done anything too exhaustapayting today, so I'm wondering if I should have a couple of squirts of the B12 to see if that helps.
➰➰➰
Decided against the B12... gonna take my last pills of the day and head to bed for a really early night, in the hopes that I wake up feeling better tomorrow morning.
BRB.
OK, they're taken and I'll be off to bed as soon as I start yawning 👍
➰➰➰
Righty-oh... Steve's asleep so I'm heading to bed. Nite nite orl❗

Mornin' again all.
What have you all been thinking to the text colours I've been using over the last week or so❔ Which has been your favourite colour that I've used❔ Which one should I use as a change from the black❔ Lemme know in the comments pretty please❔ TIA❕
Gonna take the puppy for her stroll when it lightens up a bit out there.
➰➰➰
That's the puppy walked and fed. The first third of the walk, the rain held off, but literally within seconds of us hitting a third of the stroll and it started peeing it down so we're both soggy now 🤣 That's it until lunchtime now though, so I'll download the Fitbit spreadsheet and put it on my homepage then take my first pills of the week.
➰➰➰
That's the pills taken. They all went down really easily this morning, so I'm off to a good start to the day... I'm hoping that means that today will be a good day.
➰➰➰
Steve's gone out to heat up today's zoop and I've been reminded about taking the Calcium, so that's done and dusted and I've just got 2 more pills left to take this evening now.
➰➰➰
The puppy has been walked and fed again... I've hopefully worked out how to get the afternoon strolls to appear in the Fitbit app now - I just need to walk slower is all - same number of lengths, just slower steps 'cos each length currently takes about 1 minute and 10 seconds, so I'd need to do 9 lengths instead of the current 5 on Tuesday to Sunday for it to be recorded as being active minutes. Gonna try and remember to try that this week... you watch me forget though 🤣
I've got me zoop now and added it into the Fitbit app - apparently it's only 195 calories and pure vegetables, liquidised then heated through so it's another healthy meal without rice or pasta for a change - 3 pure vegetable meals in 2 days, which is awesome❕ Doesn't happen often so I make full use of it when it happens❕
➰➰➰
Been catching up on my emails all afternoon and have semi decided to invest in a second Fitbit (the Fitbit Charge 3) so that I can wear that on my wrist as a watch and my current Fitbit Inspire still around my ankle to see if my theory of people getting in the range of 8k-15k steps a day are wearing it around their wrist so it counts each wrist movement as a step even if they are sat still in a chair. I've got no doubt that some people, who have active jobs or who are on their feet all day achieve that if they wear it on their ankle, like me... but office workers who spend the majority of their time sat down in front of a computer definitely don't, unless they go for a run/walk for 6 miles every day definitely don't❕❕
The shopping has already been and gone... came a single minute into the time slot and apparently he took the boxes into the kitchen too, which was even better❕
I've fed the puppy and taken my pills, so hopefully it'll be another early night tonight, 🤞 fingers crossed.
➰➰➰
The pills are just starting to kick in, so I'm off to 🛌 bed for an early night. Nite nite orl❕ 💤

Sunday 16th February 2020
Mornin' all.
The night light thing worked last night, but it hasn't brightened up again yet 😞. It worked for me falling asleep though... fell asleep half an hour earlier than usual and woke up feeling more refreshed too, so maybe it really was the screen brightness that stopped me from falling asleep until gone 🕙 10pm❔
Gonna take the puppy out for her stroll now... BBS❕
➰➰➰
OK, we're back and dripping wet 'cos it started raining ⅔ of the way through, but that's it until this afternoon now.
Steve said about putting the rubbish and recycling out later on again 'cos of the weather, which is fine by me.
Time to catch up on my emails now, while I'm waiting for the photo's of the puppy to upload to my site.
➰➰➰
That's the rubbish and recycling sorted for another week now - the jars have even gone out this week so it's all gone out except the waste food caddy and our third recycling box this week.
It's burgers, chips and veggies for lunch today 🤤 Steve's gonna have buns with his burgers and "maybe a few chips" whereas I'm having the burger patties, chips and veggies... I'm thinking it'll be sweetcorn for the veggies 'cos that's at the top of the freezer but it's a big bag and there might be some open bags of veggies we can have instead but anything suitable for semi-vegans is fine by me❕
➰➰➰
A huge lunch today and Steve's already asleep and there's even a box of leftovers for me tea too. It was even a nice, healthy lunch with lots of veggies for me... the vegetable patties obviously had vegetables in them, the chips were oven cooked instead of fried and half a plateful piled full of mixed veggies too. A grand total of only 694 calories so far today, which is awesome and there are leftovers for me tea too and there's even more room in the freezer now too, which is great going... hopefully it'll be completely empty by the start of March, fingers crossed 🤞.
➰➰➰
That's the Calcium taken and the pill organiser refilled ready for next week now, so I can just relax until bedtime now 👍
➰➰➰
Time for me last 2 pills of the day now... hold on❕
OK, they're both down the hatch now, so I'll head to bed as soon as I start yawning again.
➰➰➰
Just started yawning and it's not even 7.45pm yet, so I'm gonna publish this then shut down for the night. Be back tomorrow so I'll see you all then.
Nite nite orl❕ 💤

Saturday 15th February 2020
Taken all me morning pills and taken the puppy out for her stroll, so I'm all set until lunchtime now. As you can see, todays text colour is brown which is, apparently, Bloggers dark yellow❕
Almost fell over Steve's internet wire this morning, but he doesn't seem to care. I'll need to get another rug as soon as I can afford it... I'll be at least £25 overdrawn this week though, so Steve's internet speed is obviously more important than my safety. Again.
➰➰➰
Charging up me Fitbit now and apparently I was asleep for 9 hours and 56 minutes last night, so why am I wiped out❔
➰➰➰
Taken my Calcium and lunch is almost ready, so I'm gonna put my laptop on the floor in preparation now.
BBS❕
➰➰➰
That was a really yummy, if slightly too spicy lunch... vegetable chilli - yumsk❕
➰➰➰
Gonna take me last two pills of the day now, half an hour early, but I'm absolutely wiped out❕
➰➰➰
I've just turned on the night light thingy on my laptop and dimmed the light in the living room too in the hope I'll fall asleep quicker when I go to bed tonight. I'm giving it a week for my body to get used to it and then decide next weekend if I want to keep doing it like that or if I want to go back to full brightness the whole time my machine's on. It's gonna be weird tomorrow if I'm down here before 7am 'cos there's no way I'll remember what I've done and I'll think that the power lead is unplugged or something❕ 🤣
➰➰➰
The night light thing is already working 'cos less than an hour later and I'm ready for bed. As always, I'll be back tomorrow could someone (or better yet, several someone's) leave me a comment in reply to this post to remind me that I've turned the night light dooberry on pretty please❔ Thank you so much in advance.
Heading to bed 🛌 now... nite nite orl 😴💤

Friday 14th February 2020
Mornin' all.
Purple text today methinks.
Now that Steve's opened his Valentine's gift from me, I can tell you all what it is❕ It's a cushion of the puppy's head so it's totally unique to both of us and there isn't another one like it anywhere in the world❕
I've taken me pills and walked and fed the puppy dog and we're having a quick and easy lunch today - tinned vegetable ravioli... yummy.
The poo was hiding from me yesterday, when the council asked me to take a photo of it, but it's visible now so I've taken a photo of it and emailed it to the council now. I can relax now, until lunchtime when I take the Calcium.
Took advantage of a free course with the New Skills Academy this morning - I'm not gonna pass up anything free❕
➰➰➰
That's the puppy's second stroll sorted now... fed her too, and she's on the back of the sofa, pushing me off❕ That's the thanks I get for looking after her❕ Maybe she's paying me back for taking so many photo's of her laying down in front of Steve's chair❔ Cheeky cow that I can't be without any more❕
➰➰➰
Just had 4 Valentine's cards and 3 gifts through the post...
...from my Dogs Trust sponsor dogs 🐾 of course❕ 🤣💕
➰➰➰
That's the Calcium taken and 8 photo's uploaded to my homepage now.
As a change from the menu, apparently we'll be having chilli and rice tomorrow 'cos Steve "don't know if we've got any sauce left" and we are at our spending limit for the groceries for the next two weeks and we haven't got any meatless pieces left either, so curry is out too. 😞
➰➰➰
My pills are kicking in now so I'm gonna head to bed. Nite nite orl... sea ewe in the morning❕

Thursday 13th February 2020
Morning all.
Haven't had any comments about which colour to use for the text, so what colour do you reckon I should use today? Orange? Red? Yellow? Fuchsia? Yeah, Fuchsia today... mind you that isn't so much different from black, so should I go with this or black or red? I'll stick with this for now, but might change it later on.
I've taken all my morning and lunchtime pills, so I've only got the AP's to take tonight now. Having my first dose of caffeine this week too and apparently I need to add more to the shopping 'cos there's only a scoop and a half left, so I'll do that now. Gotta take the puppy for her first stroll of the day too... gonna finish off my coffee first though 'cos the puppy is still sleepy, bless 'er. Steve's just said it's raining outside too, so I'll take her out when the rain has hopefully eased off a bit.
➰➰➰
Walked and fed the puppy dog now, and I'm pondering on, when I can afford it, getting a camcorder that I can put around my head to prove that I pick up the puppy's poo, that I take her for two strolls a day and also that I've got proof of exactly were I walk her so that the council and/or the police can use it as evidence if they need to. Might even upload each video to You Tube so that you can join us both on her strolls as well as while she's in the house 🤣. It'll have to be a cheap camcorder so possibly poor quality video's, but it's better than what I've got now.
➰➰➰
OK, so found a cheap and cheerful camera for just under £20 that seems to do everything I want as well as coming with straps to hopefully go round my neck, alongside the counter and apparently the battery lasts for an hour and a half, so as long as I turn it off between walks, I would only need to charge it up once on a Monday and still hopefully have enough charge left for one more walk on Tuesday, then charge it up again and it'll keep me going for most of the rest of the week before I need to charge it up again.
Assuming the quality is good enough I'll be able to video the cat poo's to send to the council as well as being able to have evidence for the police about picking up her poo and exactly where I walk her as well as what is said if needs be. They can't argue with an unedited video recording after all❕
Just need to save up for it now - shouldn't take too long... it won't be in February 'cos I can barely afford the bills and shopping for the rest of the month as it is, but as soon as I can afford it I'll definitely buy it❕
➰➰➰
Found a picture on my Facebook wall with an acronym of depression so I'll put it on the depression page of my site and add it here too:
➰➰➰
Just taken the puppy for her second stroll of the day and our lunch is almost ready, so I'm gonna put my laptop on the floor and go for yet another wee (my 10th in about 3½ hours - yes, I have been counting) then bring my lunch in, eat it and fall asleep 🤣
➰➰➰
Cor lummy, we're both bloated now... spag bol with proper spag instead of our normal pasta shells or twirls or whatever. Steve said about putting the two packets of spaghetti into a jar and then that'd make three more sensible sized meals instead of two with quite a bit left over/wasted. We've got a spaghetti jar in the kitchen, we just haven't used it for well over a decade so will need to be soaked and deep cleaned before we use it the first time, just to be sure we aren't accidentally poisoning ourselves or whatever.
I've put more "posh coffee" in the basket for a couple of weeks time so my caffeine fix for the next little while will be PG Tips tea... need to remember to eat something before I have it though, or it'll go straight through me again, like the coffee this morning 🤣
➰➰➰
Steve's just sent me a link to a large pod of wild dolphins 🐬 showing off alongside a boat that you can see here. My heart is totally melting and I've got a smile plastered to my face now.
➰➰➰
That's me last two pills of the day taken and I want another early night, so I'm gonna shut down soon
➰➰➰
Just done some online surveys and the AP's are kicking in now, so I'm off to bed now.
Nite nite orl❕ 😴💤
➰➰➰
Haven't had any comments about which colour to use for the text, so what colour do you reckon I should use today? Orange? Red? Yellow? Fuchsia? Yeah, Fuchsia today... mind you that isn't so much different from black, so should I go with this or black or red? I'll stick with this for now, but might change it later on.
I've taken all my morning and lunchtime pills, so I've only got the AP's to take tonight now. Having my first dose of caffeine this week too and apparently I need to add more to the shopping 'cos there's only a scoop and a half left, so I'll do that now. Gotta take the puppy for her first stroll of the day too... gonna finish off my coffee first though 'cos the puppy is still sleepy, bless 'er. Steve's just said it's raining outside too, so I'll take her out when the rain has hopefully eased off a bit.
➰➰➰
Walked and fed the puppy dog now, and I'm pondering on, when I can afford it, getting a camcorder that I can put around my head to prove that I pick up the puppy's poo, that I take her for two strolls a day and also that I've got proof of exactly were I walk her so that the council and/or the police can use it as evidence if they need to. Might even upload each video to You Tube so that you can join us both on her strolls as well as while she's in the house 🤣. It'll have to be a cheap camcorder so possibly poor quality video's, but it's better than what I've got now.
➰➰➰
OK, so found a cheap and cheerful camera for just under £20 that seems to do everything I want as well as coming with straps to hopefully go round my neck, alongside the counter and apparently the battery lasts for an hour and a half, so as long as I turn it off between walks, I would only need to charge it up once on a Monday and still hopefully have enough charge left for one more walk on Tuesday, then charge it up again and it'll keep me going for most of the rest of the week before I need to charge it up again.
Assuming the quality is good enough I'll be able to video the cat poo's to send to the council as well as being able to have evidence for the police about picking up her poo and exactly where I walk her as well as what is said if needs be. They can't argue with an unedited video recording after all❕

Wednesday 12th February 2020
Mornin' again all
How are you liking me changing the colours of the text in this and the last couple of blog posts❔ Which is your most preferred one so far❔ Do you prefer dark text like this and Monday or light text like I used yesterday❔
The virus scan has started and I opened up my two email programmes so it's gonna take forever to finish today, but that's OK, 'cos I've got a medical appointment at lunchtime so hopefully it'll be finished by the time I get back from that then I can do the backups.
Taken my first pills of the day - they were a nightmare to get down again this morning 😞 They are swallowed now though, so that's it until I get back from the medical appointment.
Still missing the puppy dog, but it's in her best interests for her health and it's only a couple of days a week, we have her the majority of the week so that's all we want.
Steve's just said about getting a bird table for the back yard now that it's clear... sounds like a good idea to me, as long as it isn't too tall for me to reach in and replace the seeds❕ Can't see Steve doing it and it'd have to be up against the wall so that the puppy didn't knock it over too... might as well make use of our back yard now that it's totally clear❕
➰➰➰
Just got back from the nurse and my blood pressure is fine and dandy, the blood was taken and they are gonna let me know if anything else needs to happen and I've lost 5kg (10lbs) since October, which is awesome and means that I only need to lose another 3kg to get to my ideal weight now, which is fantastic❕ It's taken the best part of 17 years (not a typo) but I'm within touching distance now... I reckon that calls for a celebration❕
➰➰➰
*ahem*
THE PUPPY'S HOME AGAIN❕❕❕❕
Gonna have me soup then take her out for her walk... she's only missed one walk this week (this morning) which is three better than last week and she's only been out of the house for about 18 hours this week instead of two days that she's normally with Helen. She's already asleep under Steve's leg, bless 'er.
➰➰➰
Got a couple of photo's of her now, so I'll put those up, finish the soup and then take her out for her fifth walk of the week. Assuming she's home for the rest of the week, like normal, she'll have 13 walks instead of her normal 10 and I'll have 6 or possibly 7 days of exercise in the Fitbit app too, depending on if this afternoon's walk lasts 10 minutes or not... if it does, it'll be 7 days of exercise and however many active minutes, otherwise it'll be 6 days exercise and active minutes.
Just gotta wait for the backups to finish then I'll put it away and that'll be it then, I can take the puppy out for her stroll. It's currently at 99% so it should be finished any minute now.
➰➰➰
Backups have finished and I've walked the puppy. Half the distance of yesterday's which is double our afternoon walk or ⅔ of the morning walk, so it's pretty much on target considering she's only here for half of today. It's not showing up in the Fitbit app yet, so I'm gonna reboot my laptop and hope it'll be there then. No great shakes if it's not though 😃
BBS❕
➰➰➰
Didn't need to reboot after all, just needed to shut down the app for a couple of minutes 'cos it's showing 11 active minutes for the puppy's walk and 3 days of exercise, so it'll be 7 days exercise and recorded minutes this week, which is awesome, and I know now that I need to walk the puppy 10 lengths for it to start showing up, so it's obviously a length a minute which is cool and groovy and I understand why it doesn't show up afternoon strolls now 'cos we only do 5 lengths on Tuesday to Sunday. That's OK though, as long as it records our morning strolls then that's all I want 'cos the afternoon strolls are just an added bonus.
Gonna sort out the photo's now, before I forget.
➰➰➰
OK, the photo's are up and I've just taken a survey... the puppy is asleep under Steve's leg again, bless 'er.
➰➰➰
Taken and uploaded an extra 5 photo's and my evening pills are kicking in so I'm off to bed now. Nite nite orl 💤

Tuesday 11th February 2020
Mornin' all.
I'm thinking today will be a green day for the text in here, just to jazz things up again.
I've already taken the puppy out for her morning stroll and fed her, as well as taking all me day pills, so that's me sorted until this evening now.
Gotta have a bath in preparation for tomorrow and prolly get the door to Steve's prescription as well as getting the puppy ready for going back with Helen today. Busy day❕
Got some photo's to put on my homepage, so I'm gonna do that before I forget... BBS❕
➰➰➰
Steve's just heard from Helen... she's picking up our senior little puppy after work tonight so there is plenty of time for me to have a bath before she comes and Steve's prescription will hopefully be delivered well before then too. Gonna keep resizing the photo's now and get that and the Fitbit screenshot thingamejig up on my site before we have our lunch.
➰➰➰
Steve's pills have just been delivered, so all that's left to do now is having a bath, taking the puppy for her second stroll and having our lunch. Steve reckons that I should have our lunch, take the puppy out then have me bath, so that's what I'm gonna do.
➰➰➰
Just taken the puppy out for her second stroll and she poo'd so I picked it up and brought it home... it's what is legally required so I always have and always will❕ Steve gave the puppy her lunch and ours is in the oven, so I'll have my bath after we've eaten and then wait for the puppy to go back with Helen for her medicated bath again.
➰➰➰
Yummy scrummy in my tummy. Just had lunch of jacket tatties, cheese and beans and I'm now "in the zone" with calories (according to my Fitbit) and nicely full without being bloated. Gonna wait for my lunch to "go down" before I have my bath, then wait for the puppy to go then have an early night, ready for tomorrow.
➰➰➰
I've just got out of the bath so I'm all clean now. I worked out that I need to put the water heater on for at least an hour before I have a bath so that I've got a big supply of hot water refils instead of only half filling with hot water once before the hot water is used up... even then it's barely warm❕ I put the water heater on just before I got undressed and I just about managed one refill with the hot water in the tank.
Time to catch up on my emails and Facebook posts since I've been in the bath now.
➰➰➰
That's the puppy fed, watered and prescription taken now, so we're just waiting for Helen to turn up and take her away again 😢 I know I should be used to it by now, after so many months, but it still 💔 breaks my heart 💔 every week, even though she's only gone for a couple of days now.
Got a couple of short video's of the sleepy puppy to keep me going though, as well as all the photo's from yesterday and this morning, so I'll look at them when I'm missing her terribly until she's home again.
BRB - just coding the video's and uploading the updated index page... hold on❕
➰➰➰
That's the first one coded and ready to be uploaded, just waiting for the second video to finish uploading to YouTube now.
➰➰➰
Both up on my site now and both prescriptions taken, so just waiting for the puppy to break my heart then I can go to bed.
➰➰➰
The puppy's just gone❕ 😢 My 💔 heart is breaking❕ She'll "be back in a day or two" but it's already too long❕
➰➰➰
I'm off to beddy-byes now but I'll be back tomorrow. Nite nite orl. 💤

Monday 10th February 2020
Morning again all.
The Fitbit says that I was asleep for 8 hours and 48 minutes, which is 3½ hours less than yesterday but I'm feeling a lot more awake and ready for the day than I was yesterday for some reason.
It's nice and light out there, so I'm gonna take the puppy for her stroll now, then take me morning pills then sort out the Fitbit spreadsheet to put on my homepage.
BBS❕
➰➰➰
OK, we're back now and the puppy has been fed and watered so it's time for me morning pills then I'll sort out the Fitbit spreadsheet.
➰➰➰
Pills taken now... all of 'em went down really easily this morning, thankfully, so that's it now until lunchtime. Time to password protect the spreadsheet, code and upload it to my site now.
➰➰➰
The Fitbit page is sorted and I've added 5 photo's to my index page too. You can see the ugly me in all five of 'em. Wanna try and remember to smile in future photo's and not put myself down as much too. I'm not pretty but I'm not ugly either, so I need to reprogramme what I've always been told since childhood.
➰➰➰
Another 10 photo's added after our second stroll of the day... we are both wet and soggy but Steve's put the heater on to dry us both off.
➰➰➰
That's my last two pills of the day taken now and the groceries had been and gone by 6.05pm too❕ Just gotta finish off my mug of tea then I can have a wonderful early night again.
Steve said he hadn't heard from Helen by the time Marie came to the door to help him put the groceries away so he's thinking that she won't be coming tonight for Mitzi, which is totally cool and groovy, I'll just keep her harness on when we get back from her morning walk tomorrow. Steve's prescriptions are being delivered tomorrow and I've gotta have a bath ready for my own medical appointment on Wednesday so it's gonna be all go tomorrow❕
➰➰➰
I'm off to beddy-byes now... adding those last few photo's was worth the exhaustion and I'm hoping to be asleep by 🕣 8.30pm... keep yer fingers crossed 🤞 for it to happen.
What do you think to the blue text I've been using today... is it easier or harder to read than the black❔ Lemme know in the comments❔ Please❔
See you all in the morning... nite nite orl❕
