I'm totally buzzing from seeing C this afternoon, but my energy levels are through the floor, so I've popped my last two pills of the day and I'm gonna drag myself on up to bed now, even if I can't sleep lol
I'll see you all in the morning.
Nite nite orl
...my best friend, C.
He came over today and took me to the post box to post a letter to my GP, then came back and we sat in the yard for a while and with his gentle encouragement I've contacted my local councillor about something and they replied under an hour later saying that they would get onto the manager about it again. Then I re-started my OddBox subscription and I've got a full week's worth of salads and fruit coming overnight on Sunday so I've just got drinks and pickles on Tuesday's groceries to give it a bit of zing. He also discovered the issue with the UHT milk, so I've emailed my brother to see what sort of milk he prefers then I'll put in a much smaller order lol
A whole variety of things could very easily have gone wrong today, but C prevented it all and I will always be grateful for his friendship and support.
Love you as a fantastic friend, C!
...I'm back with OddBox.
I've just put in my first order for the extra small fruit and veg box and it'll be delivered between 7pm on Sunday and 7am on Monday, so I've gotta remember to put the plastic box out ready lol
I've got all kinds of salady bits and some fruit in it, so I can take that off my groceries on Tuesday and just do the drinks and eggs and chocolate and things like that. It'll be interesting to see what the box is like because it's all changed since my last box back in February!
Summer has officially started for me as of Monday morning.
...celebrating getting to the postbox and back with my best friend at lunchtime - there's no way I could even have got half way up the tiny road I live in without him, but I got to the post box and back safely with him by my side every step of the way! I'm especially proud of achieving the corner at the top of the road twice (once there and once back) because not only did I have the down slope to contend with, but a corner at a different angle too!
Thank you so so much, C!
We also went into my back yard to enjoy the sun for a little while too, for the first time this year and I'm immensely proud of myself for achieving that too!
Who is gonna join me for an apple and raspberry J2O in utter joyous celebration of my huge achievement?
I deserve to celebrate all of my huge achievements today that there is no way I could even have attempted without C's support.
Thank you for being so supportive and my best friend, C!
I assumed my monthly delivery would be here today when I saw that I had an email from Royal Mail, but it's due on Friday 1st May (aka Beltane) between 10.30am and 2.30pm instead - that'll teach me to make assumptions lol
Sorry for my second mistake in two days!
Today's breakfast was back to my normal 500ml glass of water to take my 10 morning pills with, then I made my solid breakfast an hour later of my usual 2 slices of wholemeal 'Toastie' toast, approx 20g of 'Buttery' spread and washed down with another 500ml glass of water 'cos I'm gonna keep the juice for when I start my warm weather breakfasts.
Here are today's two breakfast photos:
For the first time since Sunday, I'm wearing fresh clothes!! I got washed yesterday, but put the same clothes back on again... not this morning though - it's all fresh because I'm seeing my best friend today!
My blood pressure was back down to normal, my 10 morning pills went down fine, I've had my breakfast and a litre of water so far this morning, so I'm doing well!
The daily virus scan is almost finished, so I can get today's breakfast photos up when that's done and dusted and hopefully clear.
I'm sooo itchy this morning, but can't work out if that's because of hayfever or something else. It's my skin that's itchy as opposed to my eyes so it could be anything!
Also, I was wrong last night before I went to bed - I said it was Beltane at sundown yesterday and it wasn't, it's sundown today to sun up tomorrow 'cos it's the Pagan Mayday (which is actually a Pagan celebration), so I'm sorry for my mistake.
The daily virus scan has just finished and it found an 'Advanced Issue' so hold on while I fix it... OK, all done and dusted until tomorrow now.
Time to get today's breakfast photos up.

It's been a long, stressful (because of the printer) day today, so I've popped my last two pills of the day and I'm heading on up to beddy-byes now.
I'll see you all in the morning.
Nite nite orl
It's not quite sundown yet but my pills are already kicking in and I'm heading on up to beddy-byes now, but I wanted to wish you all a Blessed Beltane.
Stay safe and Blessed Be
It's taken me since the virus scan and backups finished at about 8am to finally get my printer to work, so I'm too exhausted to cook now, which means lunch was 2 x 80g packs of apple and grapes and another 500ml glass of water.
Here's today's lunch photo:
I'm 5 hours late getting this up because of the virus scan, then the backups, then trying to get my printer to work (which it still doesn't) so I've given up for a while now.
This morning's breakfast just came in one part - my usual 500ml glass of water to take my morning pills with.
Here's today's breakfast photo:
I forgot to post this message as soon as I booted up my laptop this morning, but so far today I've taken my blood pressure (which was slightly out of my own personal range), popped my morning pills, started the virus scan, got washed and dressed into the same clothes that I've been wearing since Sunday and finished the virus scan. I'm only having the glass of water for my breakfast today 'cos I can't put my laptop onto the floor now because of the backups. I also can't put my breakfast photo up or do the blood pressure photos onto my health site for the same reason, so as soon as I've published this and got today's to-do list together, I'm gonna make a start on my laps and exercises.

My teeth are agony and I'm absolutely knackered, so I'm going to bed.
I'll see you all in the morning for the weekly virus scan and backups.
Nite nite orl
Today's lunch was my usual cool weather Tuesday lunch of 300g of large flat mushrooms and approx 10g of Vegan Mayo all washed down with a 330ml can of Sparkling Mango pop.
Here's today's lunch photo:
My monthly virus scan has just finished, so I can put my breakfast photo up at last.
Today was my usual two slices of wholemeal 'Toastie' toast with approximately 20g of 'Buttery' spread but the liquid today was a 500ml glass of water because I finished the juice off yesterday morning. I've got, I think, 3 days worth of bread left, then it'll hopefully be choccie Weetabix and soya milk with blueberries (assuming it's all in stock of course) after that.
Here's today's breakfast photo:
I've woken up in a positive mood this morning and decided to do the laundry today and get washed and changed on Thursday morning 'cos that's when I'm seeing my best friend.
My blood pressure was at the high end of my normal blood pressure range and 9 points lower than yesterday, so that's a relief. My morning pills went down fine and I had water with my breakfast because I finished off the juice yesterday so I'm hoping more will be delivered with my groceries this morning.
I've refilled my squash bottle and put the bags in front of the door as well as setting off my monthly virus scan, so I can relax now.
This first blog post of the day is getting a bit long, so I'm gonna publish it and put today's to-do list together, but can't put the breakfast photo up until the virus scan has finished.

Well, I managed to get through a wonderful book in about 12 hours that was supposed to take 4 hours to read lol
I had a very disturbed night last night and I'm absolutely shattered now so I'm gonna head on up to beddy-byes.
I'll see you all in the morning for the monthly virus scan and my groceries, but no laps or exercises 'cos I'm trying every other day rather than every day now that my weight is lower than where I want it to be.
Nite nite orl
