Mornin' all

I've got an early start to the day and will be exercising no later than 6am today 'cos I'm waiting on a call from the tree surgeon about coming to put more poison down so I've gotta be ready to answer as soon as the phone rings today.  I also won't be able to eat anything until after they have been and gone too, for the same reason, so it could, potentially, be a day of just water for each meal.

I've taken my blood pressure (117) and popped my 12 morning pills with my only breakfast, the daily virus scan was reassuringly clear, so I'm good to go for the rest of the day now.

Time to do my laps and exercises, get today's breakfast photo up, then today's to-do list then get ready for the phone call whenever it comes.

Nite nite orl

It's been a very long, thoroughly exhausting day today, but I'm up to August 2022 with the photo deletions now and there will only usually be one meal a day from now on, so I'll hopefully be able to speed through it a lot quicker now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl

Mornin' all

I've woken up feeling like I haven't slept again, but my Visible gave me a 'Morning Stability' score of 3, so I can do my laps and physio for the first time this week.  My blood pressure was in my normal range at 106 and I've brushed my teeth while the weekly virus scan was underway, so I'm good to go for today now.  I wanna try and remember to use my new laundry baskets this morning, but I'm going by what my body tells me today, which, right now is "not a flippin' chance, Love!"

My 10 morning pills all went down fine with my breakfast... I was hungry when I woke up but I'm not now that I've had the water, so maybe I was thirsty instead of hungry?

I'll get my breakfast photo up when the back-ups have finished, so time to get today's to-do list together now methinks.

BBS

Nite nite orl

I'm absolutely knackered so I'm going to bed.

It's the weekly virus scan and backups tomorrow and I wanna sort out my laundry into the new baskets too, but I'm not gonna push myself at all.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl

Phew!

I don't need the provisional driving license or passport after all.  My Blue Badge application has gone through and I can use either the Blue Badge or my Pass card as photo ID for things like voting and the council tax and whatever else I need it for, so that's a huuuuuuuge relief and I'll cancel the driving license and passport applications as soon as I've got my new Blue Badge in my hands.

Thank you Gaia!

I've made...

...really good progress today with the photo deletions!

I've just finished 2024 so I've just got 2023 to do tomorrow et voila!  Finding out how to search for just the posts I wanted significantly helped me out time and stress wise.

I think I've also decided that I'm not gonna pressure myself to eat proper meals while I'm in the throes of SAD this year - if I can only cope with making a mug of creamy drinking chocolate for each meal then that's totally OK!

For the first time in my life I'm gonna treat myself gently until I crawl out of the other side of this.

Today's (22nd September 2026) lunch comment

My mood is through the floor thanks to the official start of my SAD season, so there is unlikely to be many healthy lunches from now on because I just can't motivate myself to prepare, cook, eat and wash up when I'm in the throws of SAD, so it's likely to be junk food and easy to prepare meals for the next few months.

My first SAD meal was a box of 6 mince pies and a 550ml mug of instant decaff coffee 'cos it's all that I could possibly scrape together for myself.

The SAD season is officially...

...here for me.

Why?

How can I tell?

Because I can't be arsed to put my laptop on the floor and go and make my lunch, then eat it and wash up afterwards even though my belly is rumbling.

Today's (22nd September 2026) breakfast comment

I wasn't hungry after popping my 11 morning pills, so just had the 500ml glass of water for my official breakfast and I've got a me-friendly creamy drinking chocolate on the go now, with the last of the cream.

Mornin' all

I've woken up to a 'Morning Stability' score of 2 again, my phone misbehaved when I was ready to take my blood pressure photos so had to restart it and then it was on a go slow, so the photos are blurrier than usual this morning.  I've popped my 11 morning pills with my daily glass of water, but I'm not hungry so won't be having anything else until lunchtime.

I've put the bags down in front of the door and put in my next grocery order, so time for my first creamy hot choccie of the day while I put my breakfast photo and to-do list together and the daily virus scan is running now I reckon.

BBS

Nite nite orl

I've limped through the day without caffeine after a bad night and I'm well and truly knackered, so I've taken my pills and I'm heading on up to beddy-byes.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl

Today (21st September 2026) I'm grateful for...

...Karma working its magic on my neighbour and his family overnight lol

I'm not spiteful and I didn't hex the family (the Rule of Three is stopping me), but whatever made this thing happen I'm glad that it eventually did and hopefully made the entire family wise up to the fact that they don't, in fact, own and control the entire street and that the negativity they so willingly put out has come to bite them on the bum at last.

Today's (21st September 2026) tea comments

I've done well today - it's been a pretty healthy and pleasantly filling meal day and I haven't snacked at all (unless the two creamy drinking chocolates count as snacks??) so have I found what works for my body already??

Today's tea was just 2 Royal Gala apples.

To go alongside this morning's Karma post...

...and short arms lol
