Today's (15th November 2026) breakfast comment

My last breakfast of the week was a quick, simple, hydrating 500ml glass of water to wash my last 10 morning pills of the week down with.

Mornin' all

Well, I've woken up feeling like I haven't slept again and I've got a 'Morning Stability' score of 2 which feels pretty accurate.

I've popped my morning pills with my only breakfast this morning, got washed and changed and started charging up my phone ready for my first trip out of the house since about the middle of October, so I'm gonna be exhausted by bedtime which hopefully means that I'll be able to sleep through the night tonight.

The virus scan was clear so I'm gonna go and make myself a drinking chocolate then get my breakfast admin sorted now I reckon.

BBS

Nite nite orl

It's been a long, relaxing but thoroughly exhausting day today because of this morning's bath, but I've taken my last two pills of the day and I'm heading on up to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl

Today (14th November 2026) I'm grateful for...

...the simple pleasure of a long soak in a very hot and very bubbly bath at about 5.30am today.

I was in there for 40 minutes of it and took pleasure from every second of it.

I'm now fresh, clean, relaxed and I no longer pong.

I'm also managed to get through 2 weeks without even sniffing caffeine too, even though I could really have done with the wakey-uppiness of it most days. I very rarely have caffeine on a Sunday, so Monday will be my first taste of it in 16 days and I really dunno how my body will react.

Today's (14th November 2026) tea comment

I couldn't really get much healthier than my tea of 2 apples and an easy peeler as a way to finish off the day!

I've decided that...

...Monday is a fresh start.

I'm gonna do my best to eat 3 proper meals a day following the menus with no snacking.  I've already taken the Pringles and broken choccie biccies out of my cart 'cos I've got mince pies on my grocery orders until they stop being made again, so don't need any more junk food to tempt me.

I'm gonna aim to be even healthier starting on Monday.  I've already broken the caffeine habit, so just need to stop the greedy snacking through loneliness now.
