Today's (4th September 2026) breakfast photos

Today's breakfast came in two parts again, but with only one drink because I forgot to decant the juice this morning.

Part one was my usual 500ml glass of water to wash my 10 morning pills down with, then my solid breakfast of choccie Weetabix with approx 150ml of Plant Protein soya milk.

Here's today's two breakfast photos:

Mornin' all

Well, I've woken up feeling like I haven't slept again, but I've got a 'Morning Stability' score of 3 today and I didn't do any exercises yesterday even though I was at a 4, so just a few gentle laps today I think but nothing else.  I've got a couple of deliveries due and I'm really hoping that they aren't heavy and are easily moveable.

I've popped my 10 morning pills and had my two breakfasts, but forgot the juice this morning so I can see me drinking even more than normal this morning!

The virus scan was reassuringly clear, so I'm gonna go and do my laps then keep my bum parked on the sofa for the rest of the day.

BBS-ish

Nite nite orl

It's been a long ole day and a knackering couple of weeks, but the end is in sight now and tomorrow is gonna be bedlum, but that's it then and I'll be able to have a proper breakfast and lunch tomorrow and Saturday.

I'm a total mess right now so I'm gonna crawl on up to beddy-byes.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl

Today (3rd September 2026) I'm grateful for...

...my best friend coming over to see me for a few hours - thank you C!

I'm also grateful that the things were rejected by Anglo on Monday 'cos someone else is interested in them instead, along with the hallway rug and seat cushion and they are very close to me and can only come during the workday which is ideal!

I'm grateful that I'm able to get rid of the ice poles at 8am tomorrow and the rest of the plates at about 4pm.

I'm grateful that I've put in the order for things that'll hopefully help my posture and ease my neck pain which are also due tomorrow too.

I'm grateful that I've been able to put together next week's menu and I'm hoping that my stomach will cope with an extra food item on the plate the week after... it's been slow going getting my stomach used to solids again, but I'm hoping that I'm almost there now.

I'm also grateful that I've finally found the potential solution to my passport photo rejections and I just need to keep trying to take the photo without my band in my hair or my glasses on, when it's lighter outside.

I've had a very busy couple of weeks, but I'm hoping tomorrow will be the last of the bedlum lol

I've got...

...an earlyish start and potentially late night tomorrow 'cos an Olio-er is coming at 8am and one of my deliveries is due between 8am and 8pm so I've gotta fit my day around that 12 hour window and the second delivery could be due by 10pm too, so potentially an even later night and then I've gotta give some things to a Freegler at 4pm too.  I'm gonna be dead on my feet on Saturday after this week and last week, but that's hopefully it for a good long while then so I can focus on gradually recovering.
