Nite nite orl

I've just taken my last two pills of the day and I'm not as tired as I have been for the last couple of nights, so hopefully that means that my body is on the mend at last.


Tomorrow will be hectic and the evening interesting 'cos I've got someone coming for the fake ivy at 10am and I've got 3 household deliveries due too, but the interesting bit will be pill-taking time tomorrow night 'cos I'll be taking the brand of AP that my body tolerates best for the first time in 3 months tomorrow instead of the one that wakes me up as soon as my head hits the pillow every evening and wakes me up for 3 emergency wee's as well as making me restless for about an hour in total overnight... hopefully I'll be totally zonked with very little restlessness and waking up tomorrow.


My Charge 6 has finally finished charging up, so I'm hopeful that I'll be able to get through the weekend without needing to charge either of them up again.


I'll see you all in the morning.

Mornin' all

Another bad night last night, and my insomnia has officially kicked in again 'cos I've been awake since 1am again.


I've taken my blood pressure which was in my normal range, popped my 9 morning pills with a 500ml glass of water and run the daily virus scan.  I'm not gonna get washed and changed this morning in case I fall asleep standing up and I'm still full from yesterday, so I'm not gonna have any breakfast either.


I need to charge up both FitBit's today and M is coming over to change the batteries in my doorbell at about lunchtime so it could be a day of snacking rather than proper meals.


Gonna go and make myself a hot choccie to start the day off with methinks, then I'll get today's to-do list together before doing my morning laps, sit-ups and crunches at around 5.30am

Nite nite orl

After spending more time in the bathroom than the bedroom overnight, I'm absolutely knackered, so I've taken my last two pills of the day and I'm heading off to beddy-byes now.


I'll see you all in the morning.
