Nite nite orl

I've had a bad couple of weeks worth of sleep because of the duvet and last night was pretty disturbed too because my body wasn't used to the full length of duvet.  I've taken my pills and I'm gonna crawl on up to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Tomorrow I've gotta remember to...

...wash and dry the towels then put them into the appropriate baskets so that I can have a bath or shower on Saturday morning without having to re-use a damp one.

You watch me forget though lol

Today (6th October 2026) I'm grateful for...

...eating three meals, keeping well-hydrated, eating (and drinking) enough fruit and veg, getting enough chocolate into me to satisfy my sweet tooth and booking my annual LTC review before lunch... just gotta remember the date and time now lol  I'm also grateful for not snacking at all and not going hungry today.  I've tried a new-to-me fruit and I approve and I'm grateful that tomorrow and Thursday will see me adding a Pak Choi to my lunches.

I'm grateful that my cold has cleared up so quickly and easily and that my soya milks were in stock so I'll be able to try out the Omega mixes in my smoothie machine soon (as long as I remember lol).

To finish off, I'm grateful that I eventually remembered to order a few copies of my second memoir so that they can join the copies of my first one in the bedroom.

Today's (6th October 2026) tea comment

Today's tea was another first for me - a Huyu persimmon from Sunday's OddBox.  I'd never even heard of persimmon before, but I'm glad I tried it now!  It was sweet, smooth, gentle and simple - I'll be getting them again!

Today's (6th October 2026) lunch comments
