I was too knackered to come back down here and sit around for an hour getting more and more tired so I decided to risk it and put a reminder in my phone to charge it up as soon as I came downstairs this morning, which is what I've just done.</p><p><br /></p><p>It's thankfully recorded my sleep and steps so that's a huge relief, but it's getting some juice now, while I wait for my morning carer.</p><p><br /></p><p>I've just put in my next grocery order and my FitBit is already at 97% charge, so it's done 34% in the time it's taken me to swallow my 6 morning pills (including the gummy which I very nearly forgot) and drink my first hot drink of the day which is reassuring. From the look of the screen there's been an update to it too, so I'm even more glad that I waited until this morning now! The update used up 6% of the battery, so it's back down to 91% charge now, but that's OK 'cos at least it's being done now.</p><p><br /></p><p>The central heating is definitely doing what it should be doing now 'cos it was on when I came down at 4.50am and it turned itself off at 5.30am, so that's reassuring.</p><p><br /></p><p>The daily virus scan was still reassuringly clear and I've remembered to turn my VPN back on now that I've been able to access all my tabs... I forgot yesterday though 😏</p><p><br /></p><p>This blog post is waaay too long so I'm gonna publish it and put up today's to-do list before my carer arrives. Out of the hour that I'll be charged for yesterday, I received about 2 minutes of actual care yesterday when my carer washed up the mug, breadboard and knife 🤷</p><p><br /></p>Amanda Georgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08353121618263219151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609885485202975984.post-40230408469564338432024-03-18T19:14:00.005+00:002024-03-18T19:14:47.705+00:00Nite nite orl<p>I'm absolutely knackered after doing 2 sets of laps at once instead of being able to have a break of several hours between them so I'm gonna head straight on up to beddy-byes now and hope it won't take too long before I'm snoring my head off 😉</p><p><br /></p><p>I'll see you all again in the morning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nite nite orl.</p><p><br /></p>Amanda Georgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08353121618263219151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609885485202975984.post-82177608252432152312024-03-18T19:11:00.002+00:002024-03-18T19:11:10.456+00:00Fourth and final update to today's to-do list<ul><li><strike>Drink glass of water</strike></li><li><strike>Take morning pills</strike></li><li><strike>Run daily virus scan</strike></li><li><strike>Turn on air purifier</strike></li><li><strike>Get washed and dressed with my carer</strike></li><li><strike>Take bread out of the freezer for my breakfast</strike></li><li><strike>Have breakfast</strike> <span style="color: #2b00fe;">8.20am toast-time today</span></li><li><strike>Log breakfast into FitBit app</strike></li><li><strike>Put photo of breakfast on here and Instagram</strike></li><li><strike>Weigh myself</strike> - <span style="color: #2b00fe;">I've put on 150g in the last week and I'm exactly where I want to be now, so that's a relief!</span></li><li><strike>Log weight into FitBit app</strike></li><li>Download last week's spreadsheet - <span style="color: #2b00fe;">I stupidly linked my FitBit account to my Google account when I was setting up one of my new phones and can't find a way to unlink them now, so it'll just be the graphic on a Tuesday from now on unfortunately</span></li><li>Code and upload the spreadsheet to my homepage</li><li><strike>Put more elastic bands around my FitBit</strike></li><li><strike>Submit last week's plastic tally to Greenpeace</strike></li><li>Do morning laps - <span style="color: #2b00fe;">completely forgot!

I've been nice and warm all day and I've only used £2.48 of electricity since midnight, which is less than I'd already used when the meter turned itself on at 6am yesterday, so that's even better!</p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully Friday's fix is the last thing that needs to be sorted and I can reward myself with my last Mocktail after s/he's gone, although it depends on how soon before lunch that is lol</p><p> </p>Amanda Georgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08353121618263219151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609885485202975984.post-32291498320738569302024-03-18T16:26:00.003+00:002024-03-18T18:05:45.666+00:00Third update to today's to-do list<ul><li><strike>Drink glass of water</strike></li><li><strike>Take morning pills</strike></li><li><strike>Run daily virus scan</strike></li><li><strike>Turn on air purifier</strike></li><li><strike>Get washed and dressed with my carer</strike></li><li><strike>Take bread out of the freezer for my breakfast</strike></li><li><strike>Have breakfast</strike> <span style="color: #2b00fe;">8.20am toast-time today</span></li><li><strike>Log breakfast into FitBit app</strike></li><li><strike>Put photo of breakfast on here and Instagram</strike></li><li><strike>Weigh myself</strike> - <span style="color: #2b00fe;">I've put on 150g in the last week and I'm exactly where I want to be now, so that's a relief!</span></li><li><strike>Log weight into FitBit app</strike></li><li>Download last week's spreadsheet - <span style="color: #2b00fe;">I stupidly linked my FitBit account to my Google account when I was setting up one of my new phones and can't find a way to unlink them now, so it'll just be the graphic on a Tuesday from now on unfortunately</span></li><li>Code and upload the spreadsheet to my homepage</li><li><strike>Put more elastic bands around my FitBit</strike></li><li><strike>Submit last week's plastic tally to Greenpeace</strike></li><li>Do morning laps - <span style="color: #2b00fe;">completely forgot!

It was set to 50℃ which was waaaay too hot yesterday, so I've turned it down to 45℃ which will hopefully make the water that bit cooler and with any luck save me a bit of money too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Everything else is back to "Manual" now, so hopefully that'll be all that needs to be done to still keep me nice and warm with hot water but without my energy price going through the roof.</p><p><br /></p>Amanda Georgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08353121618263219151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609885485202975984.post-6301866429997737132024-03-17T05:50:00.002+00:002024-03-17T05:50:55.786+00:00Today's (17th March 2024) to-do list<ul><li><strike>Drink glass of water</strike></li><li><strike>Take morning pills</strike></li><li><strike>Run daily virus scan</strike></li><li>Turn on air purifier</li><li>Get washed and dressed with my carer</li><li>Continue the plastics tally count for Greenpeace</li><li>Take bread out of the freezer for my breakfast</li><li>Have breakfast</li><li>Log breakfast into FitBit app</li><li>Put photo of breakfast on here and Instagram</li><li>Do morning laps</li><li>Give out of date food to Freegler</li><li>Keep an eye on Freegle to see if anyone wants anything</li><li>Advertise Steve's guitar on Freegle</li><li>Advertise Wisden's on Freegle</li><li>Do the news</li><li>Keep working on memorial site</li><li>Have lunch</li><li>Log lunch into FitBit app</li><li>Put photo of my lunch up on here and Instagram</li><li>Take lunchtime pill</li><li>Refill dosette box</li><li>Come up with list of questions for my GP - <span style="color: #2b00fe;">I've got the first few written down, but there are bound to be more lol</span></li><li><strike>Ask for help planning NaNo book from friends and family - ask for as much detail and accurate dates as possible</strike></li><li>Plan out NaNo book</li><li>Do afternoon laps</li><li>Read and review a book on my TBR pile</li><li>Study my courses</li><li>Take evening pills</li><li>Go to bed</li></ul><div><strike><br /></strike></div>Amanda Georgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08353121618263219151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609885485202975984.post-55034898484277779242024-03-17T05:46:00.003+00:002024-03-17T05:46:57.739+00:00Mornin' allSo far so good this morning 'cos I've taken my pills with my morning glass of water and set the virus scan running (twice) and the central heating has turned itself off after I messed around with the settings last night, so with any luck, I've found what works for me now.<div><br /></div><div>Time to put today's to-do list up before my last carer of the week arrives... will she do her job today or just use her phone for the entire 18 minutes or, like yesterday's two carers, just get in the way and make a difficult job a hundred times worse for me?
