Nite nite orl

It's been a truly exhausting day today, but I feel like I've achieved a decent amount, so I've taken my last two pills of the day bang on time and I'm heading on up to beddy-byes now.


I'll see you all in the morning, when I've gotta remember to do my exercises that I missed yesterday or whenever it was this week, pull the water heating switch on and have a shower instead of a bath so that I can wash my grease-pit hair.

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

...technology and my air fryer and kettle and the mountain of snacks that I've got in the kitchen.  I'm also grateful for Freegle and Facebook.  And friends.  And support.  And my FitBits.  And not going downhill too fast health-wise.


I'm grateful that I've got a spare room and a bit more space to sort out things in the spare room so that I can bring them down and Freegle them too.


I'm grateful that I've got an Alexa device now and that, thanks to my best friend, I've discovered Baroque music on it.


I'm grateful that I've been able to semi-safely exercise twice today and that I remembered to charge up both of my FitBits before they died on me.


I'm grateful that I've had a reasonably good day today and that I've managed to achieve a pretty decent amount safely.

Today's (6th March 2026) breakfast photo

I had a liquid breakfast today of a 500ml glass of water and a 250ml bottle of freshly-decanted Tropical juice.


Here's today's breakfast photo:


Mornin' all

I went seriously over my calorie budget yesterday after snacking on crisps and chocolate while I waited for the "dispenser" yesterday so I'm gonna keep this short and do my exercises before catching up with everything including my breakfast photo and to-do list.

Nite nite orl

It's been a long, exhausting, decision-heavy, expensive day and I'm knackered, so I've taken my pills and I'm going to bed.


I'll see you all in the morning when I've gotta remember the Freegler is coming in the afternoon and I've gotta arrange for the Olio-er to come for their things too.
