I've just unofficially weighed myself and I've lost 1.3kg in 2 days so I'm only 1.8kg overweight now as opposed to the 3.1kg that I was on Monday morning!

Mornin' all
I seriously struggled to get out of bed this morning, so when I eventually dragged myself out and downstairs, I knew it was past time for my magic pill. I've taken my blood pressure which was back in the middle of my own personal reference range again this morning, which was reassuring. I've also popped my 11 morning pills with my breakfast glass of water and started off the weekly virus scan, so next up is getting washed and changed then doing my exercises I reckon. I'll go and get clean now, while the virus scan is running, then do my laps and exercises while the backups are under way. I won't put my to-do list up until I've got washed and dressed though otherwise it'll be 2-3 posts with the same thing in quick succession.

Nite nite orl
I'm absolutely freakin' knackered so I've popped my last two pills of the day a few minutes early and I'm gonna take myself on up to beddy-byes.
I'll see you all in the morning for the weekly virus scan.

Thank you Loki!
I've had my first dose of caffeine this morning and I'd literally just come out of the bathroom, sat down and hadn't even had the opportunity to pull the table closer to me when my groceries arrived! If the deliverer had been literally 30 seconds earlier I would still have been in the bathroom!
Thank you for timing it so perfectly, Loki!
