Nite nite orl

Today's (3rd October 2026) tea comment

Today's tea was the last of this week's OddBox - 2 easy peelers and I caught them just in time 'cos I don't think they would have lasted another day so I'm grateful that I've changed the menu around a tiny bit.

Extra to-do's/plan for tomorrow

In no particular order, but all needs to be done:

• Make solid breakfast
• Eat solid breakfast
• Wash up knife, plate and bottle
• Do detailed stock take
• Come up with solid menu for next 2 weeks
• Box up recycling
• Take recycling outside
• Tie up food waste bag
• Box up food waste
• Take food waste caddy outside
• Empty bins
• Put rubbish into sack
• Put rubbish sack down by the door
• Refill dosette box
• Put OddBox container outside at about 5pm
• Bring OddBox in if it's delivered early enough
• Put OddBox fruit and veg away if it's delivered early enough

I desperately need...

...to do a stock take!  lol

My last one was on 28th August and things have been moved around so much and used up!

I'm not seeing Marie tomorrow, so I'm gonna put the radio on, do a stock take of everything then come up with menu's with more than just a vegetable for lunch.  Tomorrow and Monday will use up the tofu and hash brown bites, then I'll be using up something from the freezer as well as a fresh vegetable from that week's OddBox for each lunch and a fruit sleeve and/or piece of fruit for every tea.  

My belly is used to eating properly instead of just a mug of instant soup being my only meal some days now, so the (hopefully protein) solid is the final thing to add in to make a proper, healthy meal now that my body is used to eating properly instead of living on about 500 calories a day like I did for the first almost 3 years.  

Next task is to add in a protein source to my diet, but that'll be pretty easy with vegetarian pieces and vegetarian sausage rolls and vegetarian nuggets etc that I'll start adding in, but I'm just taking it very slowly and gently instead of rushing things and ending up regretting it.

I've got Omega seeds, persimmons and a dragonfruit due with tomorrow evening's OddBox but I think I've tried pretty much everything else other than eggs now, so that's a good thing too.  I'm gonna use the seeds in a smoothie with plant protein milk (both ordinary and chocolate to see which I prefer) assuming the milk is available with my groceries on Tuesday morning, so I'll snack on that instead of crisps or chocolate or mince pies but I'm just taking it a tiny step at a time.

I'm taking it slowly but I'm so close now.

Today's (3rd October 2026) lunch comment

Today's lunch was a total break from my vegetable only normal lunches and was 11 Air Fryer Hash Brown Bites, approx 10g of Vegan Mayonnaise washed down with a 330ml can of a Sparkling Guava pop.  I was gonna have smoked tofu too, but decided against it because of this morning's post-bath snackathon.
