Mornin' all

I've woken up frozen solid, but I can't put the heating up any higher because it makes my carers too hot, so I've gotta keep it at 19 degrees.

I've already taken my blood pressure and swallowed my morning pills, so that's a relief.  Breakfast today is a mug of decaff instant coffee so there won't be any photos of meals today.

Gotta remember to put my key around my neck when I take the rubbish and recycling out otherwise I'll never be able to get back into the house again!

The virus scan was still reassuringly clear, so that's a relief.

Time to get today's to-do list together before my carer gets here I reckon.

BBIAB

Nite nite orl

It's been a long old day and my body is screaming for another early night so that's what I'm gonna give it.  If I can manage more 10-hours of sleep a night, I'll hopefully be caught up by Wednesday, then I can hopefully go back to my normal 8-hours again... I'm listening to my body though and right now it's telling me it's bedtime.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl.

Today (5th April 2025) I'm grateful for...

...being able to have a gorgeously long, hot, lavendar-scented bath with oodles of bubbles this morning that was over an hour long, then being able to do my laps for a bit longer than usual without landing on my face too many times, then being able to bring my deliveries in and put them all away and have a healthy lunch which has saved room in the fridge and on the side.

I'm also grateful for the pretty much 10 hours of sleep I managed overnight to make up for the completely sleepless night I had the night before.

As well as that, I've got Easter eggs for my eldest and middle nephews and a birthday gift for my eldest nephew ready to give to them.

Basically I've had a pretty good day today and I'm ready to hit next week head on.

It's official...

...I've just been blinded by sunlight for the first time this year.

The hayfever started recently too, so this is me being grouchy until September/October kinda time now.

Aaaaand...

...relax.

My deliveries have all turned up, I've put them all in the appropriate places and I've got nothing else to do today, so I'm gonna kick back with a (tepid now) decaff coffee and the last packet of crisps.

The crisps have emptied a drawer so I've loaded it with bars of chocolate which has saved a bit of room on the side.

The recycling will definitely have to go out tomorrow 'cos I can't stuff any more cardboard into the sack lol  Everything else can wait for a third week but my OCD won't like that so it's all going out as soon as my carer has left and I've done my laps tomorrow morning.

Today's (5th April 2025) breakfast photo

My breakfast today was just my usual two slices of wholemeal 'Toastie' toast and 'Buttery' spread with a 300ml bottle of 'Multivitamin Mixed Berries' juice.  Today's lunch, assuming I remember of course, will be the last two soya protein yoghurts instead of the instant soup.

Here's today's breakfast photo:

Mornin' all

Well, thankfully I got a few hours of shut-eye overnight so I'm just my normal level of exhausted now.

I'm gonna keep this short and go for my bath now that I've taken my blood pressure, popped my first 9 pills of the day, had my breakfast and run the daily virus scan.  I'll put the photo up and do the daily admin when I'm out of the bath and cleaner and hopefully warmer than I am now.  Got 3 or 4 deliveries due today so I wanna get my bath in as early as possible so that I don't miss them.

See you all again soon.

Nite nite orl

It's been a loooooong couple of days so I've popped my last two prescriptions and I'm heading to bed now.

I'll see you all in the morning when I've gotta remember the deliveries as well as the bath so it'll be a full day for me.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl

Today's (4th April 2025) breakfast photo

Today's breakfast was very early (I couldn't sleep so I've been awake and up for almost 24 hours now) and the same as my usual but I didn't drop any this morning, so I was able to have the 2 slices of wholemeal 'Toastie' toast with 'Buttery' spread and a 300ml bottle of Multivitamin Mixed Berries juice this morning.

Here's today's breakfast photo:

I was wrong, I'm sorry

I decided to use the opportunity of my laptop being on the floor so that I could take my blood pressure reading, to grab a glass of water and pop my morning pills too.  I definitely won't have my breakfast yet or I'll be feeling sick with hunger before lunchtime.

For now though, I'm gonna curl up under my sleeved blanket and listen to another podcast while I finish off the glass of water and make myself the first creamy drinking chocolate of the day.

(It's now officially) mornin' all

It's finally ticked over to morning so I can say good morning to you all now.

I'm also gonna put up today's to-do list and run the virus scan but won't take my morning pills until 4am in case I forget and take too many.

I'm gonna spend the next 5 hours catching up on podcasts, then take my blood pressure, pop my morning pills and have my breakfast in plenty of time this morning.

I'll see you all with my day's to-do list in a bit.

TTFN

Looks like...

...it's gonna be another sleepless night because I'm wide awake and haven't slept yet.

Nite nite orl

I didn't get my full 8 hours of sleep tonight so I'm hoping that I won't be tossing and turning too much tonight and stay asleep until 5am when my alarm goes off on my watch.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Today (3rd April 2025) I'm grateful for...

...not feeling too sick today while I was doing my laps.

I'm also grateful for almost finishing the charging on both of my FitBits and completely finishing the charge on both my phones.

I'm grateful that I turned the air purifier on and that my last two pills of the day went down OK.

All in all it's been a pretty good day.

Today's (3rd April 2025) breakfast photo

I was lucky to have any breakfast at all this morning because one of the slices of toast accidentally slipped off the plate and onto the floor!  Woops!

Today's breakfast was 1 slice of wholemeal 'Toastie' toast and 'Buttery' spread with a 300ml bottle of 'Mutivitamin Mixed Berries' juice this morning.

Here's today's breakfast photo:

Mornin' all

Well, this morning could have started better because the virus scan found an advanced issue again and one of my three spreadsheets couldn't be found when I tried to open it, but it's all fixed now.

I feel too sick to have breakfast so I'm gonna rely on me-friendly creamy hot chocolates for my calories today.

Today I'm hoping to go through my hard drive, deleting all the empty folders that appeared yesterday for some reason, but other than that I'm hoping for a quiet, easy day.

This blog post is getting a bit long, so I'm gonna publish it and get today's to-do list together before my carer arrives.

BBS

Nite nite orl

...aaaaand relax.

It's been a long, tiring, stressful day today but I've finally caught up with everything so I'm gonna head on up to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning for a considerably less stressful day.

Today's (2nd April 2025) breakfast and lunch photos

I'm veeeeery late getting these photos up thanks to a huge techie issue that was caused by yours truly and it's taken the best part of 7 hours to fix, but it's done now and I'll know not to do it again lol

Breakfast was my usual 2 slices of wholemeal 'Toastie' toast with 'Buttery' spread and a 'Multivitamin Mixed Berries' juice for a change this morning.

Lunch was my usual mug of instant vegetable Cup Soup made entirely by me while my carer washed up the washing up bowl (nope, unfortunately not joking).

Here are today's breakfast and lunch photos:

Mornin' all

I remembered that it was Wednesday today so the weekly scan got started as soon as I took my blood pressure and popped my morning pills, including a happy pill, and it's at 47% already even though it's been going for less than 2 minutes!

I'm gonna wait until after my carer has been and gone before I have my breakfast and if she doesn't get here until 8am then I'll just have the soup at lunchtime.

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

Nite nite orl

It's been a loooooong stressful day today, but I've got my webhosts on the case for sorting out my FTP issues so that'll hopefully be sorted out soon.

NaNo have broken my heart though, so I've invested in 4 domains and I've just gotta find out how to save an archive of everything in my account.

It's Wednesday tomorrow so the first official weekly virus scan and backups on my new machine... if it's anything like the monthly scan, I'll hopefully have it all done and dusted before lunch!

For tonight though, I've popped my last two pills of the day and I'm heading off to beddy-byes.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl.

Well this afternoon was...

...very productive!

I've managed to secure another 4 domains now that NaNo is going the same way as JanNo and my website issue has been escalated to the support team who will hopefully get back to me to solve it tomorrow.  I haven't achieved much but it feels like the wheels are in motion now to getting things sorted.

Just gotta contact the NaNo bods about how to save everything in my account so that I don't lose it all now!

Today's (1st April 2025) lunch photo

Today's lunch was made and then washed up entirely by my carer today!  She wouldn't let me do a thing and even listened when I said about the bubbles stopping before she poured the boiling water into the mug!

Here's today's lunch photo:

Today's (1st April 2025) breakfast photo

Only 3 and a bit hours late with this photo! lol

I actually had breakfast this morning (unlike yesterday) of 2 slices of wholemeal 'Toastie' toast and 'Buttery' spread with a 300ml bottle of 'Multivitamin Multifruit' juice.  I've also drained my first mug of me-friendly creamy decaff mocha of the day too.

Here's today's breakfast photo:
