*Phew*

I hate using the phone at the best of times but I've just called the pharmacy and they said they would deliver my prescription "tomorrow" and they will have had my prescription for 28 days at that point, but that's the first thing I can cross off my to-do list.  Then I phoned the taxi company and that's all been booked in for my medical appointment on the 17th and apparently all the drivers have card machines now, so that's reassuring - just gotta remember to take my purse with me now lol

Gonna put my afternoon's exercises into the app then that'll be me able to relax until bedtime then.

Today's (7th July 2026) lunch photo

I really should have resisted the crisps for elevenses when I knew full well that I'd be having almost 11 servings of fruit for lunch today and all this week lol  It was the last sharing bag of crisps so it's just chocolate in the drawer to snack on to please my sweet tooth now.  I've got wholemeal bread and fruit bread in the freezer along with vegan spread in the fridge ready to go for my teas starting tomorrow.

Today's pig-out fruity lunch consisted of:  2 pears, 2 apples, 2 plums, 2 apricots, 5 strawberries and 8 cherries all washed down with a 330ml can of a Sparkling Mango pop.

Here's today's lunch photo:

I shouldn't've...

...had the crisps for elevenses today in the full knowledge that I'd be pigging out on 10 portions of fruit for lunch lol

I'm now completely bloated so gonna give it a couple of hours before I do today's exercises otherwise I'll be throwing up everywhere lol

Today's (7th July 2026) breakfast photos

I had my normal 500ml glass of water to wash my 10 morning pills down with but my solid breakfast was very dry this morning 'cos there was only about 100ml of Plant Protein soya milk left in the carton to splash onto my choccie Weetabix so it was very dry this morning!  Thankfully, I had a freshly-decanted 250ml bottle of Flawsome sweet and sour apple juice to lubricate my throat with after I'd forced the last few mouthfuls of Weetabix down.

Here's today's two breakfast photos:

Mornin' all

Well, I had an awful night overnight but it was good to have a fresh sheet and pillowcase on the bed.  It's gonna take a while to get used to not having a duvet, but I'm hoping it won't take long.

My blood pressure was even higher this morning at 116 which ain't good at all.

My 10 morning pills all went down fine and I finished off the last 100ml of soya milk this morning, so my breakfast was a lot drier than normal.

I've remembered to put the bags in front of the door for my groceries and my 'Morning Stability' score was a reassuring 3 out of 5, so I'll do my laps and exercises after lunch after the busyness of this morning has died down.

It's a good job that I put the reminder about the taxi and pharmacy on my goodnight post last night 'cos I completely forgot this morning!

The daily virus scan was reassuringly clear again so I'll put up my breakfast photos, then my to-do list now I reckon.

Gotta remember to clear the browser caches this afternoon too, so that tomorrow's weekly scan doesn't take days instead of hours to complete.

Nite nite orl

It's been a long ole day today, but I'm glad that I managed to change my bedding and eat two meals today.  I'm glad I've managed to get through another couple of months of Steve's bank statements and seen just how many lies he told me and just how much porn he consumed without me suspecting a thing.

Can someone remind me to book a taxi for my medical appointment tomorrow please?  And phone the pharmacy too?

My last two pills of the day have been popped so I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl
