Today's (21st June 2026) breakfast photo

Today's breakfast was just my normal 500ml glass of water to pop my 9 morning pills with, but I forgot to take the photo before I took them so I took it when I'd swallowed them all instead.

Here's today's breakfast photo:

Mornin' all

Well, today could've started better!  lol  I brought today's clothes downstairs, took my blood pressure and popped my 9 morning pills and it was good until I remembered that I hadn't taken the photo of the glass of water, for my last meal photo of the week!  Thankfully there was still a small amount of water in the glass, so I took the photo, finished the glass off and went to get washed and changed... before realising that I'd mixed the top of my jeans up and that I would be wearing the wrong one today - woops!  I went back upstairs and changed the tops around then came back downstairs.

I then went for a poo, which was a combination of diarrhoea and constipation.

Then I got washed and changed and brushed my teeth, only to discover that the batteries needed changing and the socks I'd brought down first thing (when I first came downstairs) were too long to go underneath the legs of my trousers, so up I went again to find my ankle socks.

Came downstairs for the third time in under two hours and weighed myself unofficially.  I'm now, officially, back down to where the nurse wants me to be.

My Visible gave me a 'Morning Stability' score of 3 so I'll do my various exercises this afternoon, for the last time this week.

My hayfever is aready through the roof, I'm sneezing my head off, sniffing constantly and my eyes are itching like crazy this morning, so I'm gonna feel awful all day.

The daily virus scan was still reassuringly clear though, so I can get today's breakfast photo up, then my to-do list now I reckon.

BBS

Nite nite orl

My hayfever has been in full swing today so I'm feeling pretty lousy right now unfortunately.

I've taken my pills and I'm heading on up to beddy-byes that I won't be woken up by hayfever or the desperate need to wee at 3am again.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl
