Mornin' all

Well, I've had a thoroughly exhausting morning so far - it started off OK with my 'Morning Stability' score of 4, then I took my blood pressure which was 118, then popped my 10 morning pills and had my breakfast and remembered to start off the weekly virus scan... all good so far.  I then decided to pull the Anglo box into the hall and it was waaaay too heavy so may not have been collected, so I took the plates and bowls out and decided to leave them for another collection.  The box was too wide to get past so I decided to put it outside for collection and decided to donate the plates and bowls today after all, so I went to get a second box, put it together and labelled both boxes, then dragged them outside.  I'm thoroughly exhausted now, but it's one less thing for me to worry about today now.

The weekly virus scan has just finished, so I'm gonna set off the backups then put today's to-do list together.

BBIAB

Nite nite orl

It's gonna be another busy day until after lunch tomorrow 'cos of the weekly virus scan and backups as well as having to move the box and handing it over to Anglo.  I'm pondering on doing my laps and exercises in the afternoon again tomorrow so that I'm not so rushed and exhausted in the morning.

I've popped my last two pills of the day and I'm heading to bed now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl

Today (1st September 2026) I'm grateful for...

...all of my groceries being in stock, doing my laps and exercises without falling over (just several significant wobbles) and getting the slot for the collection before I signed off for the night.

Just got...

...the window for tomorrow's collection and it's between 11am and 1.30pm so I'll be able to have my breakfast and virus scan and hopefully backups in time and I'm gonna move the box into the hall as soon as I've finished my exercises (assuming I have a high enough 'Morning Stability' score of course) then relax.  It'll potentially be a late lunch, but that's OK.

It'll be good to finally get rid of it all as it wasn't wanted by anyone on Freegle and I'll be able to sort out the mugs and last cupboard when the box has been picked up too.

I bet they will come to the door when I'm in the bathroom if Loki is feeling particularly chaotic tomorrow! lol

Today's (1st September 2026) lunch photo

I was going to try my first ever chicory for lunch today, but I don't trust myself to hack off the bottom stump/root type area, so I've put all three of them onto Olio and I'm just having a sleeve of pink wafer biscuits for my lunch today and moving everything on the menu up by two days then I'll have hash brown bites and vegan chicken pieces on Friday.  I know that I can't have chicory or butternut squash now though, but I'd prefer not to risk the knife slipping and chopping my fingers off.

Here's today's lunch photo:

It's now, officially...

...mince pie season, apparently <drool>  I've got 6 boxes of mince pies on next week's grocery order, so I'll be able to snack on a box of those each day instead of crisps and chocolates.

I don't celebrate Christmas or even Yule any more (because we lost Steve at the Pagan equivalent of midnight on Christmas Day) but I'm not gonna turn my nose up at the sugary delights of mince pies and treat-sized chocolates lol

I've decided to keep having the Weetabix instead of toast for breakfast during the colder months so that there's enough room in the freezer for my lunch proteins now that I'm allowed to eat properly for lunches.  Gotta try and remember to snack on toast rather than crisps until the loaf is finished so that I can get a bit more room in the freezer after that.

Today's (1st September 2026) breakfast photo

Today's breakfast was a quick and simple 500ml glass of water to wash my first 11 pills of the month down with.

Here's today's breakfast photo:

Mornin' all

Well, I didn't manage an early night after all last night so I'm even more poopey-dooped this morning.

I remembered to do my monthly check-in thing on my Visible app and apparently I was 1.8 for August which was an improvement of 0.1 so that's good news.  I got a 'Morning Stability' score of 3 so I'll do my laps and exercises after lunch today.

I've taken my blood pressure which was 125 and popped my 11 morning pills with my only breakfast.  I was going to have a solid breakfast but decided against it in case my first ever chicory fills me up at lunchtime.

It's grocery day today and I put the bags in front of the door before I went to bed yesterday, so that's all done and dusted.

I'm absolutely knackered so I'm gonna use my B12 spray instead of caffeine today.

The virus scan was reassuringly clear, so it's time to get today's breakfast photo up, then today's to-do list, then go and make myself my first drinking choccie of the month.
