I'm...

...absolutely knackered after waiting up for yesterday's delivery and only just getting 6 hours of sleep, so I'm gonna take my pills then head straight on up to beddy-byes for an early night tonight and I'm really hoping that I'll be asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow tonight!


I've finished the editing now and I've made a start on Steve's bank statements so I'm gonna try and do a bit every day with that so that it's not so overwhelmingly frustrating for me.


I'm gonna have a peach instant tea tomorrow after breakfast and me-friendly creamy hot chocolates for the rest of the day 'cos I need and deserve both of them!


Can someone remind me to put the vegan mayo onto Olio tomorrow please?  I'm gonna keep eating the fruit for my lunches so don't need it any more and don't want it to go to waste.


I'm also expecting my Omegas to turn up tomorrow and they are due around lunchtime, so it'll be early exercises (assuming my 'Morning Stability' score is high enough) and a late lunch of 2 apricots, 10 cherries, a banana and a large pear tomorrow.


I haven't had...

...any caffeine or chocolate at all today which is incredible!!  I'm thinking that I'll definitely have both tomorrow though!

Today's (2nd July 2026) tea photo

Today's tea, in direct contrast to my lunch, is a 125g packet of onion rings crisps and a 500ml glass of water.


Here's today's tea photo:


Today's (2nd July 2026) lunch photo

I've had an even healthier lunch today because I didn't have my usual can of pop, just 10 cherries, 2 apricots and 2 bananas and I've got a 500ml glass of water on the go atm too, but there's no photo of that because it wasn't part of my official lunch, just an added extra to wash my lunchtime pill down with.


Here's today's lunch photo:

Today's (2nd July 2026) breakfast photos

Today's breakfast was the same as it usually is when I eat a solid breakfast - choccie Weetabix, approx 150ml of Plant Protein soya milk and a 250ml bottle of juice which was sweet and sour apple juice today.


Here's today's breakfast photos:



Mornin' all

Well, after my delivery arrived so late last night, I dragged myself on up to beddy-byes.


I managed 6 hours of sleep according to my HLTH band.


I'm feeling really rotten today after such a late night and not taking my APs so barely sleeping.  My 'Morning Stability' score is 3 so, even though I technically can do my laps and exercises, I know I'd end up on the floor unable to get up, so I'm not gonna risk it today.


I've taken my blood pressure and it was 109 so at the high end of my normal range.  My morning pills have been popped and my breakfast eaten and the washing up done.  The daily virus scan was clear, so I'm gonna get my breakfast photo up, then today's to-do list, then hopefully finish the read-through and any last minute editing of my memoir today.


I wanna go through Steve's bank statements and come up with a spreadsheet of his incomings and outgoings so that I can see what he really spent his money on when I paid him for the vast majority of household bills - I know it was £70-£100 a day on porn and that he paid for private shows at least once a week at about £1000 each too, because it was his last transaction before going into hospital then passing away, so I wanna see the exact numbers.  It'll break my heart but I need to see just what his payments were for so that I can put that part of my grief away.  I'm dreading it, but I feel like I have to find out the truth once and for all.


Time to get the breakfast photos resized and put up on this blog and Instagram now, as a slow start to my day I reckon.
