Today's (22nd April 2026) breakfast photo

I've had a busy morning so far today, so I'm over 3 hours late getting this up, but I'm doing it now, so that's a relief.

I forgot to take a photo of my first glass of water of the day but I remembered the main photo of my solid breakfast which was 2 slices of wholemeal 'Toastie' toast with approx 20g of 'Buttery' spread and a 250ml bottle of Tropical juice.

Here's today's breakfast photo:

Goooood morning all

After getting about 5 hours of sleep last night (I was wide awake as soon as my head hit the pillow), I've woken up in a fairly decent mood.

I've been for 4 emergency wee's this morning, my blood pressure was still a little bit higher than my own personal normal, my pills went down easily, I started the weekly virus scan while I made and ate my breakfast and it finished 3 minutes before I did, so I started the backups off and I'm gonna take my plate and bottle through to the kitchen, wash up then do my morning laps and exercises.  I'm really hoping my delivery turns up today 'cos I can't miss a second night of pills otherwise I'll go loopy on you all!

I won't put my plan or to-do list up until I've finished my exercises and housework, whenever that is.

BBL

Nite nite orl

I knew this would happen lol

My delivery won't be delivered tonight after all and it's been "delayed until tomorrow" even though it's currently two streets away lol

I'm gonna shut down and head to bed and I predict that it'll turn up when I'm half way up the stairs lol

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl

I've decided that...

...because my delivery still hasn't arrived, I'm not gonna take my last two pills tonight.  I'll still go to bed but I doubt I'll get much sleep and I'm gonna be a zombie tomorrow, but it's beyond my control and I'll be heavily reliant on the caffeine tomorrow morning.  It's hopefully the last non-grocery delivery for a while though, so I'm hoping I'll be able to catch up on my sleep by going to bed at 6pm for a while again.

Very rough plan for tomorrow...

I'm not gonna be sticking to this rigidly by any stretch of the imagination, but having a plan as opposed to my normal to-do list seems to keep me organised so tomorrow is gonna look something like this:

Wednesday:

• wake up
• go for emergency wee
• take blood pressure
• go for second emergency wee
• pop 9 morning pills
• go for hopefully last emergency wee
• make breakfast of toast and juice
• eat breakfast
• wash up
• boot up laptop
• start weekly virus scan
• go for another wee
• do laps
• do exercises
• do backups
• empty kitchen cupboard
• take photos of everything in cupboard
• unwrap new storage containers

• make lunch of mushrooms and mayo
• wash up

• do stock check
• adjust menus
• flop onto sofa with warm Barista milks
• go to bed
