Nite nite orl

It's been a loooong day today so I've popped my last two pills of the day and I'm heading off to beddy-byes now.

Tomorrow is grocery day so I've gotta remember to put the bags in front of the door as soon as my lunchtime carer has left and put in my first order of 2025 as soon as the slots become available too.  I wanna put in another order of a vitamin that I'll need to take for the rest of my life because of my rare neurological disability - I've still got over 100 left, but like with all my other supplements, I prefer to have a years supply available so that I don't run out and only need to order once a year.

I've gotta put my wools on for a wash when I've got changed tomorrow morning, then I'm all set for another 9 days.

This blog post is getting waaaay too long, so I'm gonna shut up and head to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl.

Aaaand... it's gone!

The printer has just been picked up so I've got more room to clear out even more stuff and I'm officially half way down the mattress now, so I'm doing well!

I've earnt a hot chocolate or mocha now methinks.

Today's (9th December 2024) lunch photo

Today's lunch was leftovers from yesterday's Sunday roast with my in-laws and consisted of 2 servings of a vegetarian roast, 3 servings of hassleback roast potatoes, broccoli and runner beans all washed down with a glass of water so I'm well and truly bloated now!

Here's today's lunch photo:

Today's (9th December 2024) breakfast photo

My first meal of the new week was my usual cool weather breakfast of 2 slices of wholemeal 'Toastie' toast with 'Buttery' spread and a freshly decanted 250ml bottle of apple and mango juice.  I've got my first vegan hot choccie of the week on the go too, but there's no photo of that.

Here's today's breakfast photo:

I know how to...

...say "hello" to my carers from Zimbabwe now - no idea how you spell it, but it's pronounced "deepee" so I'll try and remember to say "deepee Kudzai!" next time she comes to my door... you watch me forget though lol
