Nite nite orl

It's been a long and thoroughly exhausting couple of days, but I've just got my optician appointment tomorrow, then I can finally breathe for a while.


Someone is interested in the boxes and said the possible collection time is "Monday evening" so I've asked roughly what time that is and I'm still waiting for their reply.


I've gotta remember to slide all the things opposite the living room door into the living room tomorrow morning so that there's more room for the optician to wheel his equipment through to the kitchen.  I've gotta remember to ask for only distance lenses 'cos I don't think I've used my reading glasses more than a couple of times in the last year.  I'm also gonna ask for fun frames to try and bring a smile to my face whenever I see myself in mirrors and windows and stuff like that and will hopefully brighten others moods too, if only to laugh at my daftness.


I'm gonna weigh myself tomorrow, but there's no room for me to make anything for any of my meals, so it'll be water and chocolate buttons/fruit pastilles until I've got rid of the boxes.


I also need to remember to bring my rubbish and recycling containers in when they've been emptied too.


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

Today's (15th February 2026) lunch photo

Only 3 hours late getting this photo up lol


Today's lunch (and potentially my last meal until Tuesday) was the last three kiwi fruit and two plums, washed down with a 500ml bottle of a room temperature peach iced tea.


Here's today's lunch photo:


So far, I'm...

...up to page 47 and I'm stopping now for my lunch before I break down in huge sobs.  No spoilers, don't worry, but after only 3 chapters and less than 50 pages I'm already hugely invested in this story!  Definitely 5 stars so far!


Gonna spend today...

...reading a potentially triggering book and my emotions could be all over the place, so expect the unexpected until I get the review up.


That was lucky then lol

My digestive system couldn't cope with having 6 portions of fruit for breakfast, so it exploded on me a few minutes before I got undressed for my bath lol


I've got 3 kiwi fruits and 4-6 apples left, so I'm thinking I'll finish off the Kiwi's and 2 apples for lunch... will my bottom explode this afternoon too?!  After 11 portions of fruit in about 8 hours, I think it just might!  lol

Today's (15th February 2026) breakfast photo

Today's breakfast was healthy in the extreme 'cos it was 4 Kiwi fruits, 2 plumbs and 2 easy peeler clementines, washed down with a 250ml bottle of Tropical juice, so I've well and truly had my 5 portions of fruit today lol


When they are fresh, are Kiwi fruits supposed to be soft or quite hard please?  It was difficult to use the spoon on some of the halves is all and I'm not sure if that was just because I'm just so weak and feeble or if the fruit had gone past its best please?


Here's today's breakfast photo:
