Nite nite orl

It's been a very long, very busy, very exhausting day today, but I've finally got light throughout the downstairs of the house and hopefully the right set of three light shades in my basket ready for tomorrow.

I've definitely got one, potentially two Freeglers coming for the lightshades tomorrow and I've definitely gotta remember to put the rubbish and recycling out tomorrow 'cos they are gonna be full and I've gotta refill my new dosette box too.

My phone and Visible are getting a touch of emergency juice to see them through the night but I'm gonna start to shut everything down and head off to beddy-byes.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl

Today (13th December 2025) I'm grateful for...

...the electrician fixing my airlock light, replacing 2 lightbulbs and telling me what to look for with new lightshades.

He accidentally left his screwdriver here so I've emailed him to let him know, along with the potential new lightshades to see if they are the right ones and I'll willingly and gratefully pay him as soon as he sends me the invoice.

Today has been a good day.

I've got a full set of working lights in the whole house now and the lightshades that I got were the wrong ones because the hole was way too big, but I've found some different ones that I've sent the URL to the electrician for before I buy them just to make sure.

I think I've earnt my third creamy hot choccie of the day now!

Today's (13th December 2025) lunch photo

My second meal of the day is a gorgeously me-friendly creamy drinking chocolate with vegan squirty cream that I hadn't sprayed when I took the photo otherwise it would have melted!

Here's today's lunch photo:

That's the...

...majority of my towels washed, dried, folded and put away and the last two are just finishing off in the machine then they will be done and dusted too.

Mornin' all

I've remembered to pull the water heating switch in the bathroom, so my weekly luxury is at 4.55am.

I've also taken my blood pressure which was back in my own personal range, popped my 9 morning pills, opened a new bottle of Omegas and need to remember to buy more of all of my supplements... should've checked sooner really lol

Gotta remember to unbox the light shades and get ready for when the electrician comes to sort the lights out for me.

The virus scan was still clear, so that's a positive

Time to get today's to-do list together then go and have my bath...

BBS

Nite nite orl

Tomorrow (Saturday) I've gotta remember to take my clothes upstairs while I'm waiting for the water to heat up for my bath, because the hall light decided to bang, which tripped the switch this morning, so I haven't got any light in the hall right now

I've also gotta remember that an electrician is coming out to shorten the airlock wire and put up three shades for me... gotta try and remember to ask him to change the bulb in the hall and put one in the air lock 'cos I can't do either of them myself.

My last two pills of the day have been popped, I've taken my last Visible reading of the day and I'm heading on up to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Today's (12th December 2025) lunch photo

I'm feeling sick after accidentally snacking on an allergen mid-morning, so my lunch today is a can of ginger beer.

Here's today's lunch photo:

I dunno where...

...I got 4pm today from, but my hall light has just gone and tripped the electric so I emailed the electrician to see if he could come earlier today so that he could see and he replied saying that we'd arranged for 2pm tomorow instead lol  Loki is obviously in the mood for creating havoc for me today lol  I'll have to do my second set of laps, sit-ups and crunches before lunch so that I can see where I'm going, but it's the last time this week, so that's not so bad.

Mornin' all

Well, it's gonna be a busy day today, what with the delivery and the lights being sorted out at last!

I've popped my 9 morning pills with my breakfast of a glass of water and run the daily virus scan which found an advanced issue and I'm giving my Inspire some emergency juice too.  My Visible score for the day is 3 out of 5, so better than yesterday, but not great.  Gotta remember to put the blood pressure photo's up on my health site too.

Gonna put today's to-do list together then get washed and changed and go and do my laps I reckon.

BBIAB

Nite nite orl

It's been a long, tiring day today and tomorrow is potentially even longer, way more stressful and filled with anxiety, but I'll be able to see in the air lock and I'll have proper lightshades on all the downstairs lights too.  I've also got a delivery due so that I can put my new duvet covers with tomorrows sheets and pillowcases without having to fight every time I change the bedding.

I've got a head and eye ache brewing so I've popped my last two pills of the day and I'm going to bed.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Mornin' all

It already feels like I've achieved a pretty decent amount this morning and I've only been awake for 2½ hours!  So far this morning I've: 

1. taken my Visible reading (3 out of 5) 
2. and blood pressure (higher than my normal, but I'm wondering if it's my new normal now?), 
3. taken my morning pills,
4. got washed and changed, 
5. had my breakfast, 
6. done the washing up, 
7. run the daily virus scan and 
8. finished the updates on my phone

so I'm pretty proud of that.

I went to sleep last night pondering on if I'd saved at least some, or hopefully all my NaNo memoir to my external hard drive, so I'll try and remember to check after I've done my laps, sit-ups and crunches this morning.

Time to get today's to-do list together now I reckon.

BBS

Nite nite orl

It's been a long, painful, exhausting, stressful day today, so it seems my Visible reading first thing was spot on.

My best friend has discovered that other than the first part of the edits of my NaNo25 novel, nothing else has been saved so I've lost about 10-15,000 words and days worth of sleepless nights!  I'll have to start pretty much from scratch again for JanNo which is frustrating, but Gaia/Loki/both must have something up their sleeves for me with this memoir and it'll just take more edits and time than I was hoping.

Gotta remember to phone the pharmacy tomorrow about my missing loopy pills so that I've got enough to see me through until the end of the festive season, instead of running out half way through when nowhere is open.

My last two pills of the day have been popped and I'm heading on up to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Today's (10th December 2025) tea photo

My third meal of the day was a mug of instant minestrone Cup Soup.  I'm gonna attempt to warm up a mince pie tomorrow for the first time in my life.  Apparently it stays in the foil container and goes in at 180 for 8 minutes, so we shall have to see what happens... if you don't hear from me after about 3pm then it's because the house has gone boom lol

Here's today's tea photo:

Today's (10th December 2025) breakfast photo

Today's breakfast was made and eaten in the kitchen 'cos of my weekly backups stopping me from being able to put my laptop on the floor.  They've finished now though, so everything is back to normal.

I had my usual 2 slices of wholemeal 'Toastie' toast and approx 20g 'Buttery' spread with a 250ml bottle of Tropical juice this morning.

Here's today's breakfast photo:

Opinions please!

I've got a choice between two drinks today - either my first caffeinated coffee of the week (I'm medically allowed up to 3 caffeinated drinks a week) or a creamy hot chocolate for the first time in 4 days.

I honestly don't mind either way, but the hot choccie involves opening a fresh tub of drinking chocolate and a new can of cream, which is fine by me, but the coffee sachets are already on the side so it's less to fiddle with while the kettle is boiling.

So come on, coffee or chocolate please?

Mornin' all

According to my Visible reading first thing (which was 2 out of 5) today is gonna be a bad day for me.

I'm already hacking up a lung and haven't taken my morning pills yet, so I'd best do that now.  OK, that's my 9 morning pills down the hatch now.  I've got washed and changed so I'm fresh as a daisy to start the day now.

I'm thinking that I'll have to have my breakfast in the kitchen 'cos the weekly virus scan is almost finished and I can't put my laptop on the floor when I do the back-ups because of the external hard drive.

Time to get today's to-do list together now I reckon.

Nite nite orl

It's been a long, exhausting day today so I'm gonna take myself on up to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl
