Nite nite orl

It's been a busy ole day and tomorrow is gonna be even busier 'cos of my groceries and two deliveries due before lunchtime.  As long as I get a high enough 'Morning Stability' score, I'll do my exercises in the afternoon instead of trying to cram them in and potentially having to stop part way through.

I've taken my last two pills of the night and I'm heading on up to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Today's (20th July 2026) lunch photo

Today's lunch, like most Monday's, was the leftover's from yesterday's Sunday roast with my wonderful sister-in-law and this week it was 2 servings of a vegetarian Family Roast and frozen broccoli, washed down today with a 330ml can of a Sparkling Guava pop.

Here's today's lunch photo:

Today (20th July 2026) I'm already grateful for...

...tidying up the side and cupbords over by the freezer because I've discovered a brand new, still boxed, pots and pans set so I can get rid of (via Freegle) the ones that are currently in there to save even more room!  I've got room for tomorrow's delivery too now as well as having a small amount of space to lean on/put food on as it goes into or out of the freezer too!

Today is gonna be a good day!

Today's (20th July 2026) breakfast photo

I'm starting off the new week with just a 500ml glass of water to wash my 10 morning pills down with.

Here's today's breakfast photo:

Mornin' all

I've woken up feeling like I haven't slept at all, so I'm already totally knackered.  My 'Morning Stability' score was 3 again, so I can do my laps and exercises today.  I've taken my morning pills with my only breakfast today then weighed myself and found that I'm 1.15kg over where the nurse wants me to be, so that's a relief.  The daily virus scan was clear, so it's time to get my first meal photo of the week up, then today's to-do list, then keep my ear on the recycling being picked up.

Nite nite orl

It's been a very long, thoroughly exhausting day today, so I've popped my last two pills of the week and I'm heading on up to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning.
