Nite nite orl

I've had a very long and very stressful day tomorrow and potentially another long and stressful day tomorrow too 'cos I've got an Olio-er coming at 8am and another roofer is gonna "try and squeeze you in on my route tomorrow" so it's an early start and potentially a late finish tomorrow.

I've taken my last two pills of the day and I'm off to beddy-byes now.

Nite nite orl

Today's (22nd October 2026) tea photo

My last (and only proper) meal of the day was a simple easy peeler.

I haven't eaten since the mince pies this morning and may not be able to have breakfast tomorrow 'cos I've got an Olio-er coming over at 8am to pick up the things I had in this week's OddBox 'cos I'm really not gonna feel up to cooking, so it might just be lunch and tea tomorrow, if that.  I've got a roofer coming out at 11am on Saturday to have a look at the leak and hopefully give me a reasonable quote so may not be able to have either my breakfast (because of my weekly bath) or lunch (if the roofer is late or I'm too anxious to eat) so it could just be the easy peelers until Sunday, which isn't healthy but I'm almost 2kg overweight so missing a few meals won't do any harm lol

I've got...

...another busy end to this week again, starting with an Olio-er coming at 8am tomorrow, then a roofer at 11am on Saturday to have a look and give me a quote, then OddBox on Sunday and then changing the bedding on Monday, my groceries on Tuesday and the monthly (because it's the 28th) virus scan and backups on Wednesday...will I be able to breathe next Thursday???

Today's (22nd October 2026) breakfast comment

Today's "official" breakfast was just my usual 500ml glass of water, but I've also had, as my "unofficial" breakfast, the last box of mince pies and a 550ml mug of me-friendly creamy drinking chocolate too.

Mornin' all

Well, I didn't sleep well last night because I spotted a leak in the ceiling that wasn't there yesterday so I've gotta contact my home insurers to get their permission to get the roof replaced again which isn't what I needed right now.  I've taken a photo of it for them and woken up to a 'Morning Stability' score of 3, so I'll be able to do my laps and exercises today.  I've also taken my blood pressure (a bit high at 114) and popped my morning pills with my only breakfast today.

Apparently, the order that I placed 11 days ago has an unknown delivery date now, but I can cancel and get a refund.  I went to do that and apparently I can't do it because it's already been dispatched so I dunno which page to believe, frustratingly.

I've got a Freegler coming to pick up the mugs and pint glass at 5.30pm today, so that's a relief, assuming they arrive of course.

The virus scan was clear, so time to get today's breakfast photo sorted, then today's to-do list and warm up with a creamy drinking chocolate now me-thinks.

BBS

Nite nite orl

It feels like it's been a long, stressful day today, but I've got nothing to show for it other than a Freegler coming for the mugs and Simpson's glass at 5.30pm tomorrow.

I've popped my pills but I'm not tired yet.  Gonna head on up to beddy-byes anyway.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl
