Third update to today's to-do list
Today's (19th March 2024) lunch photo
Today's lunch was just my usual mug of instant vegetable Cup Soup made entirely by me again, but my carer helped me to change the bedding and washed up while I was drinking it, so that's OK today.
Here's today's lunch photo:
I'll definitely have...
...earnt my last mocktail after lunch tomorrow!
The central heating/solar panels/insulation bods have just been back totally by surprise and completely cleared out the back yard too. I've still got the table, chairs and my in-laws step ladder, along with the air source heat pump of course, but I've got a completely clear back yard now, so when the weather starts to heat up, I'll be able to take my Kindle out there with an iced glass of something or other and just spend a while connecting with the Green Man again!
It's been a non-stop start to the year, but hopefully the end is in sight now.
I've got the back door, bathroom window, kitchen window and living room windows open to let a bit of air through the house, but I can finally see the finish line now!

Today's (19th March 2024) breakfast photo
Just my usual breakfast of 2 slices of wholemeal toast with dairy-free spread, 2 packs of apple & grapes and a 250ml bottle of orange juice.
Here's today's breakfast photo:

Now that's more like it!
My electricity smart meter has just come on and even with boiling the kettle, having three main lights on, a table lamp on all night and charging up my FitBit, it's still only £1.66 used since midnight, including the daily standing charge. I could easily get used to this!

Mornin' all
Well, I had a bit of a panic when I checked my FitBit before crawling into bed - it only had 65% charge left which is my usual charging cut-off that I *must* charge it up. I was too knackered to come back down here and sit around for an hour getting more and more tired so I decided to risk it and put a reminder in my phone to charge it up as soon as I came downstairs this morning, which is what I've just done.
It's thankfully recorded my sleep and steps so that's a huge relief, but it's getting some juice now, while I wait for my morning carer.
I've just put in my next grocery order and my FitBit is already at 97% charge, so it's done 34% in the time it's taken me to swallow my 6 morning pills (including the gummy which I very nearly forgot) and drink my first hot drink of the day which is reassuring. From the look of the screen there's been an update to it too, so I'm even more glad that I waited until this morning now! The update used up 6% of the battery, so it's back down to 91% charge now, but that's OK 'cos at least it's being done now.
The central heating is definitely doing what it should be doing now 'cos it was on when I came down at 4.50am and it turned itself off at 5.30am, so that's reassuring.
The daily virus scan was still reassuringly clear and I've remembered to turn my VPN back on now that I've been able to access all my tabs... I forgot yesterday though 😏
This blog post is waaay too long so I'm gonna publish it and put up today's to-do list before my carer arrives. Out of the hour that I'll be charged for yesterday, I received about 2 minutes of actual care yesterday when my carer washed up the mug, breadboard and knife 🤷
Monday 18 March 2024
Nite nite orl
I'm absolutely knackered after doing 2 sets of laps at once instead of being able to have a break of several hours between them so I'm gonna head straight on up to beddy-byes now and hope it won't take too long before I'm snoring my head off 😉
I'll see you all again in the morning.
Nite nite orl.
