Nite nite orl

I've had a busy day and a thoroughly exhausting last 3 hours, but I'm on top of things now.


I've had to rush all my freshly washed clothes upstairs because my clothes rail refuses to stay upright, so I've gotta remember to bring a set of clothes and undies downstairs with me tomorrow.  I've advertised the rail on Freegle and most of the things that I'd sorted out from the spare room too and a couple of them have already been snapped up.


I'm expecting a delivery at some point between tomorrow and Monday and my new glasses have been dispatched too, so I've gotta remember to put those ones on as soon as I wake up rather than when they are delivered because apparently that's safer as my sight is so bad.


I've taken my last two pills of the day and I can barely keep my eyes open, so it's time for beddy-byes methinks.


I'll see you all in the morning.


Nite nite orl

Today's (25th February 2026) lunch photo

Today's lunch was the same as yesterday's: the last 6 chestnut mushrooms, 3 battered onion rings, 4 Veggie Fingers and approximately 10g of Vegan Mayo washed down with a 330ml can of Sparkling Passion[fruit] pop.  I got the mayonnaise spot on today and I emptied the mushrooms out of the air fryer and onto kitchen roll to dry them off... there was still a little bit of juice left on the plate after cutting into the mushrooms, but not as bad as recently.


It'll just be the onion rings and Veggie Fingers with the mayonnaise starting tomorrow 'cos I've finished off the tub of mushrooms now.


Here's today's lunch photo:

Today's (25th February 2026) breakfast photo

I've had the carton of Barista Cinnamon Roll in my fridge since the start of the festive season and I was "keeping it for a special celebration" but then I realised that every day should be celebrated because nobody is promised even a second of their life, so every second should be celebrated!


I had the 750ml carton for breakfast and I'm gonna snack on the "posh chocolates" tray while I wait for lunch.


Here's today's breakfast photo:

Mornin' all

Well, I remembered to take my blood pressure (which was a couple of points higher than my previous normal range), pop my morning pills and start off the weekly virus scan.  I also decided to try out some new-to-me Barista milk that I got around Christmas kinda time and it was soo good!  I've had two mugfuls so far and my stomach is kinda going "what the... ooh, yummy!"


I've gotta remember to contact my optician to find out when my next appointment is... it's only to decide on new frames for my new reading glasses so it shouldn't take too long, but could be expensive lol


Time to get today's to-do list together, then put my breakfast photo up, have my last mug of warm milk then get washed and dressed before doing my laps, sit-ups and crunches while the backups are underway.  Gotta remember to charge my FitBits up pretty urgently this morning too.
