Today's (14th September 2026) lunch

Today's lunch, like most Monday's, was the leftovers from yesterday's roast and today consisted of 2 servings of a vegetarian Family Roast, 1 serving of brocolli and washed down with a 330ml can of a Sparkling Mango pop. I was going to air-fry a couple of potatoes to go with it, but by the time my delivery arrived, there just wasn't time unfortunately.

Today's (14th September 2026) breakfasts

Today's breakfast came in three parts 'cos I needed to take one of my new pills after a meal so that it was less likely to upset my stomach apparently.  I'm gonna try using my water tracking green bottle tomorrow 'cos that holds 1 litre of water.


The first two breakfasts were a 500ml glass of water each then my third breakfast was my usual choccie Weetabix with Plant Protein soya milk and the last 250ml bottle of sweet and sour apple juice in the carton.


Gooood mornin' all!

I woke up this morning with my energy levels through the floor and struggled to get out of bed until my bladder woke up.  I took my Visible 'Morning Stability' reading when I got back to the bedroom and I'm at 3 again today.  I then came downstairs and took my first 10 pills of the day, then refilled the glass and took my 7 new pills which, thankfully, increased my energy within seconds.  I then had my breakfast and took my last new pills after I'd washed up.


I've brought my OddBox in and I'll be having 2 potatoes with my leftovers for lunch today and for each lunch this week too.  


I forgot to weigh myself before I had my solid breakfast, but I've just done it and I'm 3kg overweight, so I've gotta be a good girl with my snacking this week!


I've just taken the mince pies of tomorrow's order so there's less temptation in the drawers lol


Today's delivery has been dispatched overnight but it's not out for delivery yet, so I hope it's not a late delivery today so that I can do my day's exercises!


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


Time to get today's three breakfast photos up on Instagram, then today's to-do list, then start on the admin for publishing my second memoir <gulp>

Nite nite orl

It's potentially a long, exhausting day tomorrow 'cos of bringing in and putting away my OddBox as soon as I come downstairs tomorrow and I've got a delivery due too, as well as taking the first 7 new pills before breakfast and the 8th new one after breakfast to see how they affect me.


I'm absolutely flippin' cream-crackered, so I'm off to bed.


I'll see you all in the morning.


Nite nite orl

Yesterday's (12th) tea and today's (13th September 2026) breakfast

I had the last of my OddBox for tea yesterday, but completely forgot to talk about it on here and Instagram yesterday, so I'm talking about yesterday's apple and today's glass of water together today instead.


Mornin' all

I woke up at 4.47am and wanted desperately to go back to sleep, but knew that I had to get up so that I could get washed and changed, so I'm now well and truly knackered.


I got a score of 3 on my Visible this morning, my blood pressure was 119, I've popped my 11 morning pills and I've got washed and changed for the second time this week.


I forgot to put my blood pressure photos up yesterday, as well as forgetting to put my tea photo onto Instagram, so I'm gonna do that now before I forget again.  I've gotta remember to put in my Amazon order too.

Aaaaaand... relax

Literally just finished giving my second memoir it's final read-through and spotted a couple of typo's (a 0 in the middle of a word etc) which is now all sorted and I can officially start on the final stage of the journey to publication on Monday now.


I've got another busy week ahead of me next week 'cos of the start of the publication journey on Monday, Tuesday morning is my groceries and an interview about my illnesses at 5pm, Wednesday is the weekly virus scan and backups, Thursday I'm seeing my best friend again then Friday I can finally breathe.


I've officially turned the final corner in the marathon and the home stretch is finally in sight now, 10 months after writing the first word.


Up to...

...page 198 now and it's the start of the dark times so I'm gonna take a break for a while and reply to my best friend's email before my mood gets dragged into not-good places from reading about the start of the slope.  I'll hopefully get a bit more read after the email, but right now I need to take a breather to keep myself safe.
