Today's (30th September 2026) tea comment

My last meal of September 2026 couldn't really have been healthier - 4 pots of Fruit Salad in Juice.  According to my calorie counting app, I've had 10.1 portions of fruit and veg today, which ain't too bad at all!

It's taken...

...the best part of 4 years, but I think I'm bang on with my portion sizes for lunch now and I'm mainly using fresh as opposed to frozen veggies too which is a huge relief.

I've got a small butternut squash due to be delivered by OddBox overnight on Sunday/Monday, which is my favourite vegetable and cutting yesterday's carrot in half has given me a smidgen of confidence that I'll be able to cut the butternut squash in half too.

I've experimented with so many things in the last year (to the day) and it's helped my body to learn that it can process more than just instant soup for lunches now.  I'm also usually having fruit for my teas as well as toast for breakfast when I remember/can be bothered which I haven't done for at least two decades!

I'm giving my body what it needs and it's letting me function throughout most days now, so I'm gonna keep on doing what I'm doing!

It's Wednesday today, so I've spent the last 3 hours doing the weekly virus scan and backups.

Mornin' all

I've woken up feeling dreadful this morning and my Visible's 'Morning Stability' score was another 2 so no exercising or physio again today.  My blood pressure was a bit high at 116 and my morning pills were a struggle to get down too.  The weekly virus scan is already at 30% so hopefully that'll be finished and clear in an hour or two.

My breakfast came in one part again today - just the 500ml glass of water to wash my 11 morning pills down with.  

Time to get today's to-do list together now - I'll put my breakfast comment on here and photo on Instagram when the virus scan and backups are all done and dusted for another week.

Nite nite orl

I'm absolutely wiped out so I've taken my pills and I'm heading to bed now.

I'll see you all in the morning for the weekly virus scan and backups.

Today's (29th September 2026) breakfast comment

Today's breakfast was a purely liquid meal of a 500ml glass of water and I've got a mug of me-friendly creamy hot chocolate on the go now too, but there's no photo of that.

Mornin' all

Looks like I'll be living in heartbreak hotel today 'cos my bladder woke me up at the exact time I lost my first twin 30 years ago today.

I've taken my Visible reading which gave me another 'Morning Stability' score of 2, taken my blood pressure which was 104, popped my 12 morning pills and obviously booted up my laptop to run the daily virus scan, which was thankfully all clear.

Time to get today's breakfast photo up, then my to-do list, then put in my next grocery order methinks.

I'll BBS

Nite nite orl

I'm absolutely wiped out so I've taken my pills and I'm heading to bed now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Today's (28th September 2026) lunch photo

Today's lunch was quick and simple and half of what I had planned, but the potatoes had started sprouting so I wasn't going to risk it and just had the leftover Family Roast from yesterday's Sunday lunch and a 330ml can of a Sparkling Mango pop to wash it down with.

Today's (28th September 2026) breakfast comment

I've had a purely liquid day so far and my bladder is really feeling it lol

My first breakfast was, of course, a 500ml glass of water to wash my 11 morning pills down with.  My second breakfast was the last 250ml of freshly-decanted Wonky Orange juice in the carton, so that's in my recycling now, ready to be emptied later on this morning.
