Mornin' all

Well, the last day of the week is upon us and I've taken my last blood pressure reading of the week, popped my morning pills and run the daily virus scan which was still clear.  Gotta remember to refill my dosette box after lunch today.  As soon as my last carer of the week has left, I'm gonna stick my nose into yesterday's book again and may not resurface until it's finished.  Gotta remember to take the rubbish and recycling out today too, so it's gonna be a busy day for me!

Not much else to say so I'm gonna shut up and get today's to-do list together.

BBS

Nite nite orl

I didn't do either set of laps today and I won't tomorrow either, so that, along with my red FitBit graph today and yesterday will hopefully see me back into the middle of my healthy weight range instead of the bottom of it like I am now... I'll have to wait until Monday to find out for sure though.

I've popped my last two pills of the day and I'm gonna head on up to beddy-byes now 'cos this morning's shower has totally zapped my energy.

Plan for tomorrow is to keep devouring today's book and reviewing it when I've finished it.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl
