Well, I've managed to...

...read the first 58 pages of the 321 in the book, so that's pretty good going I reckon, and time to stop for my lunch.

I'm channelling Steve for a while lol

Steve always used to use toilet paper as a bookmark but I never did because my books were always on my Kindle.  I'm channelling him now though because I've just got a couple of sheets and folded them up to use as a bookmark in my second memoir's paperback lol

Today's (28th October 2026) to-do list

• Take Visible reading - 3 out of 5 today
• Take FunCap reading on 1st of each month - 1.7 out of 5 for July - 1.8 for August - 1.9 for September
• Use blood pressure machine
• Put details onto spreadsheet
• Put BP machine away
• Weigh myself every Monday
• Log weight into NutraCheck
• Drink glass of water
• Take morning pills
• Run monthly virus scan
• Show roofer leak and get quote for roof replacement at 2.30pm - he came an hour and a half early, looked in both bedrooms and gave me a quote but I felt pressured into it and he's only willing to replace the entire roof instead of doing fixes (like the first one) and he didn't even get up onto the roof so he hasn't got a clue about what's actually up there, so he definitely isn't doing the job - waiting for the official quote now so that I can send it to my insurers
• Show roofer leak and get quote for roof replacement between 4pm and 5pm - they didn't go up on the roof or even consider a repair, just a total roof replacement, but they respected me and my house more than the lunchtime one, so they are in second place and as far as I'm concerned, Saturday's roofer has got the fixing job as well as the roof replacement job, I've just gotta wait and see what my insurers say now - waiting for the official quote now so that I can send it to my insurers

Mornin' all

I've started off the day with a 'Morning Stability' score of 3 on my Visible this morning, so I can do my laps and exercises today.  I've taken my 11 morning pills with today's only breakfast and started off the monthly virus scan which is checking every single file on my computer.

I wanna try and remember to read my memoir today, so that I can let go of it and start to prepare myself for writing my third and final one starting on Sunday.  I also wanna try and remember to ask how to change my 'Morning Check-In' from 4am to 3am... I know it can be done because it's already been changed from about 6am or 7am to 4am so I just wanna make it another hour earlier is all.

I won't be able to put my breakfast comment or photo up until the monthly scan has finished, so potentially both my breakfast and lunch together today.

Time to get today's to-do list together now I reckon.

BBS

Nite nite orl

I'm cream crackered so I'm gonna head on up to beddy-byes.  I've had awful diarrhoea this afternoon, but I think I've poo'd out my entire digestive system now, thankfully.

Tomorrow I've gotta remember that it's the MONTHLY (as opposed to weekly) virus scan and backups and I wanna read through my memoir too, ready before non-NaNo on Sunday when I'm gonna be starting to write my third and final memoir.  I'm pondering on doing a "year in my life/head" but haven't decided yet.

I've popped my last two pills of the day and I'm heading to bed.

Nite nite orl
