I've taken my last two pills of the day, but I'm not heading to bed yet, I'm just shutting down to get away from screens to see if that helps me nod off sooner than it has done since the clocks changed.
I wanna spend next week recovering with my nose in a book, so don't worry if I'm quieter than normal next week... I'm just recharging is all 😉
I'll be back briefly in the morning when I've gotta remember to box up and take out my recycling and put my key around my neck too.
Nite nite orl
...the long, hot, deepish, lavendar-scented bubble bath I had this morning.
I'm also grateful that I made it to the toilet and pulled down my too-tight jeans in time each time I needed a wee.
I'm grateful that I'm still breathing and that I'm almost caught up with the podcasts that I listen to.
I'm grateful that things are moving in the right direction with OddBox and that in the 3 weeks since my last box they have made lots of improvements. I'm also grateful that they have people working weekends too, 'cos I got answers to my questions in a couple of hours rather than waiting for days (because of the weekend).
I'm grateful that when I've cleared out my freezers I'll be on to salads again and that I can have raw carrots, peppers, celery and cucumbers this year.
I'm grateful that I've got central heating and hot water whenever I want it and that I can have drinks whenever I want to.
I'm grateful that I've put my weekly chores onto my daily to-do list to hopefully encourage me to actually do it each day lol
I've got so many things to be grateful for!
...when I go back to OddBox and start having salads for my lunches, I'll be able to get *every* lunch from them as they offer things like lettuces and cucumbers and tomatos and peppers along with the fruit and eggs. If that's right, the only things I'll be getting from the supermarket are drinks and breakfasts and cleaning stuff and first aid and things like that because I'll be able to have the OddBox fruit for my tea too!
This is shaping up to be a top-notch Summer! Thank you Gaia and Green Man!
Today's lunch was the last picky meal of the week and was a 550ml mug of me-friendly drinking chocolate and 2 x 80g packs of apple and grapes.
My body is getting used to eating properly now, instead of just a mug of instant soup like it was for the best part of 3 years and I've got salad stuff and choccie Weetabix along with soya milk on my first May grocery order, so when my body is used to that, I'll think about going back to OddBox again.
Here's today's lunch photo:
...unofficially weighed myself and I've lost the best part of 2kg since Monday morning, so I've just got 850g to go now and I'll be bang on the weight the nurse wants me to be, which is reassuring.
I'll still be doing my twice a day laps next week but hopefully by the week after I'll be bang on so I'll be doing once a day or even every other day, depending on what my weight is like the week after.
I can do this!
...to phone the pharmacy and they are closed today, so I'll have to try calling again on Monday.
