Nite nite orl

It's been a very long, stressful, frustrating day today and a very late night for me, but I've got both deliveries now, so my task for tomorrow is to sort out the cupboard by the cooker so that I can get my new plastic bowls, plates and glasses put in there, take photos of everything and let the second Freegler know what's available to see what she wants and what else I can offer to the other Freeglers.


Gotta remember to charge up my HLTH band tomorrow too.


I've popped my last two pills of the day and I'm heading off to beddy-byes now.


I'll see you all in the morning.


Nite nite orl.

Today's (5th August 2026) tea photo

Today's tea was either gonna be a meal replacement drink or toast.  I've barely eaten anything solid today or yesterday and don't want my bum to misbehave again, so I went with the 2 slices of toast and approx. 10g of me-friendly spread, all washed down with a 500ml glass of water.


Here's today's tea photo:

Today's (5th August 2026) breakfast photo

My weekly virus scan and backups have just finished, so I've only just been able to access my email and this photo.  My official breakfast was just a 500ml glass of water to wash my 10 morning pills down with, but I've also munched my way through a tube of Pringles, drunk a mug of peach tea and I've just made myself an electrolyte drink too, so I've already had my full day's recommended hydration and it's not even 10am yet!!
