Today's (13th June 2026) breakfast photo

Just the one photo of my breakfast today 'cos I'm not hungry enough for the Weetabix, so it was just the 500ml glass of water to pop my pills with this morning.

Here's today's breakfast photo:

Gooood mornin' all

I've woken up in a pretty decent mood, but I'm completely exhausted so won't be lapping or exercising today, even though my 'Morning Stability' score is 4 out of 5... maybe this afternoon, but definitely not this morning otherwise I'll end up on the floor, unable to get up.

I pulled the water heating switch in the bathroom at 5.06am so it'll be bathtime at just gone 6am.  My blood pressure was at the top end of my normal range (108) and my 9 morning pills have been popped.

I was debating whether to have a shower instead of a bath 'cos my hair desperately needs a good wash, but my legs aren't stable enough to use the shower stool and I've definitely earned the bath so it's definitely bath not shower day today.

The daily virus scan found another 'Advanced Issue' which I'm guessing is the memoir that I edited yesterday 'cos of the things that I've said in it.

This first blog post of the day is getting long, so I'm gonna shut up, get my breakfast photo sorted then put today's to-do list together.

BBS

Nite nite orl

I'll be glad when this week is finally over and done with! lol

I've gotta remember to pull the water heating switch on in the bathroom tomorrow so that I can have a hopefully long soak in a hot bubble bath to wash off the stresses and strains of the last couple of weeks lol  It'll also be a solid breakfast and my first morning of apple juice too, so I'm looking forward to that.

I've also gotta remember to charge up my Visible while I'm in the bath too - you watch me forget though lol

Will I have enough "Morning Stability" score to do my laps too?  I really don't know based on my last couple of scores, but we'll have to wait and see tomorrow morning.

I've been able to edit my second memoir this afternoon and sent it off to C to have another plough through, so I'll have to wait and see what he says... I'm hoping it'll be the last edit, but I'll stay open-minded to see what he thinks.

It's been a long ole day with lots of stress and anxiety so I'm gonna take myself on up to beddy-byes.

Nite nite orl

Second and final update to today's to-do list

• Take Visible reading - 2 out of 5 again today - it didn't give me one again today, so I've officially given up with that unfortunately - someone suggested a possible fix, so I'm gonna try that and see what happens for a while - it worked this morning, so hopefully that's fixed it now - it worked again today, so starting tomorrow I'll be able to take reading's without having had to charge it up every day
