That's everything...

...that I've listed on Olio going to the same person tomorrow at around 3/3.30pm so it's not wasted money thankfully.

I've also just found the me-friendly butter that I prefer, so it's officially cool weather meals for me, starting on Monday!

I've also...

...made room in the freezer for two loaves of bread, so that I can have toast instead of Weetabix for my breakfasts.

I've got a whole box of choccie Weetabix that I haven't opened and 2 cartons of soya milk, so I've put those onto Olio so that it's not money down the drain and the rest of C's milk is going to an Olio-er tomorrow afternoon, so that's a relief... you watch me forget though lol

Mornin' all

I've woken up to a behaving bladder this morning 'cos I wasn't about to wet myself as soon as I opened my eyes this morning, which was a relief.  I've also got a Visible score of 4 but won't be lapping or exercising today 'cos I don't wanna get sweaty after having my weekly bath.  I've pulled the water heating switch on so it's bathtime at 6am today.  I've also taken my blood pressure which was 116 and popped my morning pills.  I've brought my new clothes down and put the towel in the bathroom before remembering to put my new Pentagram around my neck, but it's all sorted now though.

The daily virus scan found an advanced issue, which is now being resolved.

I'm gonna make the most of a quiet afternoon by giving my memoir one last read-through then getting things started with publishing my second memoir and I'm gonna carry on deleting the photos in between everything else this morning.

Time to get today's to-do list together before I have my bath.

Nite nite orl

I'm now >this< close to finally getting my second memoir published, almost a year after I first wrote it and about 6 weeks before I write my third and final one.  I need to remember to look for edit 7 on my external hard drive tomorrow 'cos I saved the wrong file so both edit 7 and edit 8 have got today's date on, which is frustrating.

I've popped my last two pills of the day and I'm gonna head on up to beddy-byes now.  I've got a busy morning tomorrow 'cos as well as my weekly bath, I've also got an Olio-er coming at 8am for her peppers and I wanna put my crystals in today's deliveries and charge up my HLTH band too.  For tonight though, I'm off to bed.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl

I'm up to...

...March 2026 with the photo deletions now so I've still got a loooong way to go, but I'm getting there slowly.  Gonna have a bit of a break from it now while I wait for my first delivery, then start again after it's arrived, been opened, possibly used and put away.

The eggs went to the Olio-er bang on time so I've just got the ones in the fridge now then I won't be getting any more.

Mornin' all

I knew it!  lol

Yesterday's Visible score of 5 couldn't last 'cos I've gone to the other end of the scale this morning and I'm at a 2 today.

I've taken my blood pressure (108), popped my 11 morning pills and had my breakfast of 8 bananas because they were getting very spotty so wouldn't have lasted another day and I'm now feeling very sick.

I've got a delivery due between 7am and 1pm and an Olio-er is coming to pick up her eggs at 8am then I can spend the rest of the day deleting the photos that I started doing yesterday late afternoon.

The daily virus scan was still reassuringly clear, so that's a relief and it's time to get today's to-do list together while my emails are downloading.

Today (4th September 2026) I'm grateful for...

...my unwanted food being picked up three times today (two Olio-er's and a Freegler), the Freegle stuff going, the middle cupboard finally being emptied, washing the mugs up and putting them onto Freegle.  I'm also grateful that I'll be getting rid of everything except the mugs on Monday.

I'm grateful that my diet is still improving and that my body is coping so well with having to rapidly re-learn how to process solids.

I'm grateful that I found OddBox and that it's opened up a whole new healthy world of variety to me.  I've been able to discover new-to-me fruits and veg that there is no way I would have done otherwise.

I'm grateful that Morrisons have officially started stocking mince pies so that I can snack on a box of those every day to keep my calorie count up.

I'm grateful that I've been able to have protein today and that I had a solid breakfast this morning.

I'm grateful that I'm still able to move today and that I can hopefully have a long soak in a hot bubble bath tomorrow morning... I think I deserve it.

Aaaaaaand... relax

That's both things been picked up, got one more to go during office hours on Monday and a delivery due between 5.30pm and 8.30pm today, so it could potentially be a late night tonight, but I think I've earnt a drinking choccie now!

Today (3rd September 2026) I'm grateful for...

...my best friend coming over to see me for a few hours - thank you C!

I'm also grateful that the things were rejected by Anglo on Monday 'cos someone else is interested in them instead, along with the hallway rug and seat cushion and they are very close to me and can only come during the workday which is ideal!

I'm grateful that I'm able to get rid of the ice poles at 8am tomorrow and the rest of the plates at about 4pm.

I'm grateful that I've put in the order for things that'll hopefully help my posture and ease my neck pain which are also due tomorrow too.

I'm grateful that I've been able to put together next week's menu and I'm hoping that my stomach will cope with an extra food item on the plate the week after... it's been slow going getting my stomach used to solids again, but I'm hoping that I'm almost there now.

I'm also grateful that I've finally found the potential solution to my passport photo rejections and I just need to keep trying to take the photo without my band in my hair or my glasses on, when it's lighter outside.

I've had a very busy couple of weeks, but I'm hoping tomorrow will be the last of the bedlum lol

I've got...

...an earlyish start and potentially late night tomorrow 'cos an Olio-er is coming at 8am and one of my deliveries is due between 8am and 8pm so I've gotta fit my day around that 12 hour window and the second delivery could be due by 10pm too, so potentially an even later night and then I've gotta give some things to a Freegler at 4pm too.  I'm gonna be dead on my feet on Saturday after this week and last week, but that's hopefully it for a good long while then so I can focus on gradually recovering.

Today's (29th August 2026) lunch photo

I'm too exhausted to cook after this morning's bath, so I had a packet of crisps for elevenses and I've got a pack of 8 "Milk Chocolate Breaks" and a 500ml glasss of water for my lunch today.  I've put the sweetcorn onto Olio so that it doesn't go to waste.

Here's today's lunch photo:

Mornin' all

I've woken up to a 'Morning Stability' score of 4 this morning, so in theory at least I could do two sets of laps and exercises today, but because my weight wasn't too far into the healthy range yesterday I'm not gonna risk it.  I'm also not eating until my nectarine for tea which is another reason not to.

I've taken my blood pressure which was at 120 this morning, popped my 11 morning pills and gotten myself washed and changed.  The daily virus scan found an advanced issue and I haven't got a clue what that could be this time.  The Olio-er isn't coming this morning after all, which is frustrating, but I've re-listed the sweet potatoes and I'll hopefully be able to get rid of them in the next few days.

Got a medical appointment after lunch, so it's a busy day today.

Gonna put in my next grocery order, then get today's only breakfast photo up, then my to-do list now I reckon.

BBS

Nite nite orl

It's gonna be a very long day tomorrow, starting with scrubbing myself clean and getting changed, then the Olio-er at 9.15am, then my groceries, then my medical appointment and I won't be able to eat until tea time which'll just be a nectarine, so it's gonna be a busy day on an almost empty stomach, but the Olio-er and medical things are just one-off's thankfully.

I've popped my last two pills of the day and I'm gonna head to bed and crawl under the duvet again for the first time in a few months.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Today's (18th August 2026) lunch photo

I was still full from yesterday's lunch so I just had the second and last Pak Choi and a 330ml can of a Sparkling Passion[fruit] pop for lunch and I've put the sweetcorn onto Olio.

Here's today's lunch photo:

Nite nite orl

I'm hot, sweaty and exhausted, so I'm off to beddy-byes.  I've got an early start with an Olio-er coming to pick up the peppers and sweetcorn at 8am tomorrow, so my morning is on hold until they've been and gone.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl

Mornin' all

I've had another very late start to my morning again today!  So far this morning I've sorted out an issue with my Visible, taken my 'Morning Stability' score which was 3 again, taken my blood pressure which was 113, popped my morning pills, had my breakfast and run the daily virus scan, which was clear, so it's time to get today's two liquid breakfast photos up then today's to-do list before the Olio-er comes for her things, then I'll get the recycling boxed up and taken outside, all while my HLTH band is charging up.  I need to charge up my watch and fan today too and put my OddBox container out before I head to bed too.

BBS

Nite nite orl

It's been a long, exhausting day with purely liquids again for both meals, so I bet my bum will misbehave tomorrow, just as the Olio-er comes to the door lol  I've given away the vast majority of what was in the cupboard and advertised the rest on Freegle, so I can breathe for a while before I start on the last two cupboards in the kitchen.

I've popped my last two pills of the day so I'm gonna put my HLTH band back around my ankle and head on up to beddy-byes.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Today's (7th August 2026) breakfast photo

I just had the first part of my breakfast this morning, a 500ml glass of water to wash my 10 morning pills down with this morning, because I'm waiting for an Olio-er to come and pick up her Freeze Pops and sweetcorn, so that I've got more room in my fridge and freezer ready for my next OddBox delivery.

Here's today's breakfast photo:

Mornin' all

Another late start this morning, but that's OK 'cos I've already taken my 'Morning Stability' reading which was another 4, taken my blood pressure which was 124, had my breakfast glass of water to wash my 10 morning pills down with and done my morning laps and exercises, so I'm good to go until 8am now when an Olio-er is coming for her sweetcorn.  I've got a regular Freegler coming for loads of stuff at around 4pm, then I'll be able to tackle the middle cupboard - I hate to admit it, but I quite enjoy it when I eventually get going lol

The daily virus scan was reassuringly clear so I'm gonna get my breakfast photo up, then today's to-do list then try and catch my breath ready for the Olio-er at 8am.

TTFN but BBS

Nite nite orl

I'm soooo hungry after only being able to have my breakfast and I've got an Olio-er coming for the Freeze Pops and sweetcorn at 8am tomorrow, so may not be able to have breakfast then and another Freegler is coming at about 4.30pm too, so my only meal tomorrow could potentially just be lunch and the rest of the day with just drinks again, which is frustrating.

I've got a rough quote for the garden things now though, so that's cool and groovy.

I've taken my pills and I'm heading to bed now.

I'll see you all in the morning.
