Nite nite orl

I'm not going to bed yet but I've popped my pills and I'm just waiting to cool down a bit before I head to bed and didn't want to forget to say goodnight to you all again!

I'll see you in the morning.

Today (26th July 2026) I'm grateful for...

...finally getting through Steve's finances for the last year of his life.  It made me realise just how much he lied to me about how much he could afford and what he was spending his (and my) money on - it wasn't bills (and none of them were as high as he told me by a very long way - one of them was £74 and he told me it was over £400 a month for example, and he spent very nearly £3000 in one night for 3 private porn shows that I knew nothing about).  I'm grateful that it's something I can finally cross off my to-do list and put it together with the spreadsheet I kept for all the money that I lent him too.

Today's (26th July 2026) tea photo

Today's tea was the same as yesterday's - 2 slices of medium slice wholemeal toast with approx. 10g of Buttery spread and I'm sweating like a good'un again lol

Here's today's tea photo:

Today's (26th July 2026) lunch photo

Today's lunch finished off this week's fruit supply and was 1 large pear, 1 banana and 2 apples, washed down with a 330ml can of a Sparkling Passion[fruit] pop.

The skin on the banana was sooo thin that it was getting towards being pointless - was that 'cos it was almost a week old or could it have been because of the type of banana it was or could it have been something that I haven't thought of please?

Here's today's lunch photo:

Today's (26th July 2026) breakfast photos

I'm still full from my tea yesterday, so I just had my usual 500ml glass of water to wash my 11 morning pills down with, then I had a freshly-decanted 250ml bottle of Wonky Orange juice for my second breakfast.

Here's today's two breakfast photos:

Mornin' all

Well, my prediction last night kinda came true and kinda didn't... I woke up desperate for a wee and had to rush to the bathroom, that bit of the prediction was true, but my bladder allowed me to stay asleep until 5am thankfully.

My 'Morning Stability' score on my Visible was another 3 so I can finish the week off with a few laps, sit-ups, cruches and twists again.

I've taken my second blood pressure reading with my new machine and it was a lot higher than on the original machine, but still low (116 again).

I had 2 liquid breakfasts this morning - my usual glass of water to pop my morning pills with, including a 5-HTP this morning, and a bottle of Wonky Orange juice.

I've also brushed my teeth and started a new bottle of mouthwash.

The daily virus scan was reassuringly clear again, so time to crack on with my day again now I reckon - a day of getting Steve's savings onto the spreadsheet I reckon, which will break my heart all over again, but never mind.
