Mornin' all

I remembered to take my 21 morning pills with the tracker bottle this morning, but I'm still not feeling right after taking the 9 new pills on an empty stomach, so I'm gonna try taking them with/after breakfast tomorrow to see what happens then.

I've taken my blood pressure which was 114 and got another morning stability score of 3 and remembered to refill the squash bottle this morning too, so that's a relief.

I've got a delivery due with the Postie this morning, as well as my groceries and exercises to do, so I'll put the bags down by the door as soon as I've done my exercises and hope that the Postie doesn't come before I've put everything away lol  I've got an interview this afternoon too, so need to get my microphone ready by 5pm

The virus scan found an advanced issue, so I'll resolve that then put my two breakfast photos up on Instagram and start on my laps and exercises as long as my belly has recovered by then.

Nite nite orl

I'm completely knackered and I've got a busy day ahead of me tomorrow (groceries in the morning and an interview about my health at 5pm-ish) and I've gotta remember to refill the bottle with squash and use the graded bottle for all of my pills tomorrow, so I've taken my last two pills of the day and I'm heading on up to bed.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl

Today's (14th September 2026) tea

Today's tea was a nice, light, healthy end to the day with a fresh plum and a fresh easy peeler.

Less than an hour later and...

...my second memoir, "Fruitloop" by Amanda George is available for you to get your hands on.

It took almost a year (11 months and 5 days to be exact) from putting the final full stop in the manuscript, to getting it out there for everyone to see inside my head again.

A huuuuuuuge thanks goes to my best friend for all of his amazing help throughout writing and especially editing it... it would still be sat, festering, without his support.

Go and get your hands on it now while it's hot off the press!

Today's (14th September 2026) lunch

Today's lunch, like most Monday's, was the leftovers from yesterday's roast and today consisted of 2 servings of a vegetarian Family Roast, 1 serving of brocolli and washed down with a 330ml can of a Sparkling Mango pop. I was going to air-fry a couple of potatoes to go with it, but by the time my delivery arrived, there just wasn't time unfortunately.
