Oh. My. Goddess!

Without any kind of marketing or anything, someone in America has bought the first copy of my first memoir on 17th March!!  I hope they enjoy it and it's given me hope that maybe I can achieve something similar with my second memoir too!

Whoever you are, thank you so so so so so much!!

Today's (20th March 2026) lunch photo

I've been sat down for most of the morning, which has given me a tiny glimmer of hope that maybe it was just a one off and badly timed this morning.  I'm not about to start taking any risks now and I'm having a liquid lunch of 1 litre of cherry juice in the hope that I'll feel safe enough to have solids again tomorrow.

Here's today's lunch photo:

Today's (20th March 2026) breakfast photo

I fell over backwards before I'd even made it through the door of the living room at 3.30am so I'm not gonna risk anything hot or breakable today.  

Breakfast was a 500ml glass of water and lunch will be the same for safety reasons.

Here's my breakfast photo:

Mornin' all

I had a mini disaster almost as soon as I turned the light on and came into the living room today - I fell down like a sack of spuds and hurt my back, neck, shoulder and arm so I'm not taking any silly risks today with anything hot, so it'll just be glasses of water all day, no food at all.  I've already had one glass of water for my breakfast and pills and refilled the squash bottle so I'm all sorted until lunchtime now.

I've got a busy day today with the delivery and Freegler, but other than that I'm not leaving the sofa and will spend the day reading through my second memoir and being strict with myself about anything that just doesn't read right.  I added about 2,000 words to it yesterday so it's now at 72,000 words so that'll hopefully keep my mind off the hunger.

The daily virus scan found an advanced issue, so hold on while I resolve that... OK, all done and dusted thankfully.

Time to get today's to-do list together, then put up today's breakfast photo now I reckon.

Nite nite orl

It.'s been a long ole day today, but I've achieved a fair amount and I've got through the first of two stages of the fourth edit of my second memoir today so that's good.  I've got at least one, potentially two deliveries due tomorrow and I've ordered more AP's so they will hopefully be with me next week.

I'm gonna have to do tomorrow morning in a very strict order so that I can fit everything in:

1. Take my blood pressure
2. Pop my morning pills
3. Get washed and changed
4. Do my laps
5. Do my exercises
6. Have my breakfast
7. Run the virus scan
8. Refill my squash bottle
9. Be ready to bring in the delivery at any time
10. Read through my manuscript
11. Have lunch
12. Do my laps
13. Keep reading through the manuscript
14. Give Freegler her things
15. Take my pills
16. Head to bed

I can hopefully breathe by the time I turn on my laptop, but I've gotta be ready to answer the door at any time - I hope Loki behaves Himself tomorrow 'cos there's plenty of opportunity for him to cause chaos for me lol

I've popped 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
