Mornin' all

Well, last night's early night didn't happen after all and I woke up at 4.20am thinking that someone was hammering on my door, so I rushed downstairs and there was no-one there but my day had obviously started.

My 'Morning Stability' score was back down to 3 again, so just one set of laps and exercises today.  My blood pressure was a bit raised at 110 again, but I'd been moving around before I took it, which is prolly why.

I remembered that it was the weekly virus scan and back-ups day, so that's at 85% at 5.57am.

Time to get today's to-do list together, then wait to start the backups, then my laps and exercises while I wait for my deliveries now I reckon.

Nite nite orl

There are lots of things that I've gotta remember tomorrow, starting with having toast for my breakfast, then refilling a bottle with squash, then the weekly virus scan and backups, then potentially, if my score is high enough, my laps and exercises all while waiting for my four deliveries so that I can prepare, cook and eat my potatoes.  Depending on when the deliveries arrive tomorrow, decides what I have for my lunch - it could be either a vegetarian sausage roll or a veggie burger with a couple of salad potatoes or a sweet potato, but I won't know for sure until the deliveries give me a rough window... I hope they are all early!

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

I'll see you all at some point tomorrow.

Nite nite orl

I'll prolly end up...

...severely regretting it tomorrow, but I've just done my second set of laps and exercises of the day (because my 'Morning Stability' score was 4 this morning) and I'm proud of myself, but think I've overdone it today.

It's almost tea-time (at 3.30pm) when I'll have a pear, a plum and a glass of water, then I'm gonna have an early night methinks.

Mornin' all

Well, I had a late start to my morning and I'm quite chilly this morning but can't be arsed to put the cover onto the duvet and back onto the bed lol

So far this morning, I've taken my blood pressure which was back down to my high-normal of 108, popped my 13 morning pills and had my breakfast of a bottle of Wonky Orange juice.  I'll get my breakfast photo up when my monthly virus scan has finished.

My 'Morning Stability' score was a huge 4 out of 5 today, so I can do both sets of laps and exercises today, before my groceries turn up this morning and after a hopefully protein-packed lunch.

I hope all my groceries are available, but it's no biggie if they aren't today 'cos most of it is herbs for my Workings and protein bits to go with my veggies but I've got bread in the freezer and protein powder and a few meal replacements if none of it is there.

Time to wash up my breakfast bottle and do my first set of exercises of the day after I've put today's to-do list together now I reckon.

Mornin' all

I gave up on cooling down at about 8.30pm and went to bed.  It only took me a little while to fall asleep, thankfully.

When I came downstairs at about 4am-ish my OddBox was waiting for me so I brought the box in, took my blood pressure (111 this morning), popped my 10 morning pills and had my breakfast.  My Visible threw a strop on me this morning so I had to use the camera to do my 'Morning Stability' reading... it was 2 today so I'm not gonna do any laps or exercises today.  Gotta remember to reset it yet again, frustratingly.  

I got some beans and a packet of lettuce as substitutes for my sweetcorn so I've already put those onto Olio and I've only got 1 sweet potato, the new/salad potatoes are bigger than I was expecting, but there are only 7 of them, so I'll only be able to have about 4 potatoey meals.  The lack of sweetcorn means that they are the only meals I can have this week, so I'll have to have a look and see what else I can put onto my groceries that I can eat on it's own, like the sausage rolls.

I'm glad I waited until today to officially weigh myself, rather than going by yesterday lunchtime's unofficial one 'cos I've put on 850g overnight lol

The daily virus scan was reassuringly clear and I've gotta remember to clear my caches tonight ready for tomorrow's monthly virus scan - I hope I don't forget!

This first blog post of the day is getting a bit long, so I'm gonna shut up, resize my breakfast photos then put up today's to-do list.

BBS

Mornin' all

Well, my prediction last night kinda came true and kinda didn't... I woke up desperate for a wee and had to rush to the bathroom, that bit of the prediction was true, but my bladder allowed me to stay asleep until 5am thankfully.

My 'Morning Stability' score on my Visible was another 3 so I can finish the week off with a few laps, sit-ups, cruches and twists again.

I've taken my second blood pressure reading with my new machine and it was a lot higher than on the original machine, but still low (116 again).

I had 2 liquid breakfasts this morning - my usual glass of water to pop my morning pills with, including a 5-HTP this morning, and a bottle of Wonky Orange juice.

I've also brushed my teeth and started a new bottle of mouthwash.

The daily virus scan was reassuringly clear again, so time to crack on with my day again now I reckon - a day of getting Steve's savings onto the spreadsheet I reckon, which will break my heart all over again, but never mind.

BBS

Goooood mornin' all!

Well, I'm still absolutely knackered and tonight could potentially be another late night 'cos the deliveries that were supposed to be here on Saturday are actually arriving today apparently, so it could be yet another late night again.

I've taken my blood pressure and it was at the low end of my normal range at 103.  My 10 morning pills have been popped and I've used my newest medication this morning, which got to work pretty much immediately.  I've had my breakfast and I'm now feeling a bit icky which apparently is one of the common side effects of the new prescription but I'm breathing better already, so that's a relief.

My 'Morning Stability' score was 3 today, so I'm gonna do today's exercises while I wait for my deliveries.

The daily virus scan was all clear so that's a positive and means that it's time to get my breakfast photo up, then today's to-do list together while I enjoy my first hot drink of the day.

Mornin' all

Well, I've woken up to a 'Morning Stability' score of 2 so I definitely won't be exercising today.  I took my blood pressure and it was at the low end of my normal range, then I popped my 12 morning pills and had my breakfast.

The daily virus scan was all clear and I've remembered to put a new blood pressure monitor into my basket that is GP approved so I hope it'll be more acceptable by my GP practise now lol

I'm seeing my best friend in a few hours, so I'll put my breakfast photo up, then today's to-do list and clear off the sofa so that he can sit down lol  I'm also expecting an Olio-er at 5pm and I'll have to remember to put in my Amazon order after that.  I've also gotta do my laundry at the weekend 'cos I've only got 1 set of underwear left lol

This first blog post of the day is getting a bit long, so I'm gonna resize my breakfast photos then get today's to-do list together.

Nite nite orl

It's another late night again tonight, but hopefully it'll be the last one for a little while.

My deliveries eventually turned up and I've put them all away now, just need to invest in a spice rack and cooking oil syringe tomorrow before I meet up with my best friend.

I've got an Olio-er due at 5pm tomorrow to pick up her things so it's gonna be bedlum tomorrow lol

I'm not gonna be exercising or having any caffeine tomorrow, no matter what my 'Morning Stability' score is.

I'm dead on my feet, but it's just this week and next week that's so busy.

The side effects of my pills are rapidly kicking in, so I'm off to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all for a little while in the morning in between scrubbing myself clean for the first time since Sunday and having my breakfast.

Nite nite orl

Mornin' all

I've woken up feeling like I haven't slept at all, then my blood pressure cuff decided to fold over mid-reading so I had to do it again.  My morning pills went down fine but I forgot to take the photo of the water for part one of my breakfast.  Part two has really filled me up, so hopefully that'll mean no snacking before I have my lunch.

Yesterday's two orders have been split into three deliveries and looking at the progress bar, two of the deliveries will come together then the third one separately.

Today's lunch, assuming it's in stock and I remember of course, will be vegan bacon, avocado, pears and apples so a pretty healthy lunch I reckon.

I've got 3 pints of milk hopefully coming with today's groceries, ready for my best friend coming over on Thursday.  I don't know which milk he prefers, so I've got him 1 pint of whole milk, 1 pint of semi-skimmed and 1 pint of skimmed and I'll put the ones that he doesn't want onto Olio.

I'm also gonna put my new shoes onto Freegle 'cos my big toe is right at the end and it's rubbing on the side and top of my nail, so is pretty painful.  They are supposed to be size 5-6 which is bang on for me, but they feel more like a 4 so I can't wear them comfortably unfortunately.

My Visible's 'Morning Stability' score was 3 again, so I'll do my laps and exercises after lunch.

The daily virus scan was reassuringly clear, so time to get today's breakfast photo up, then my to-do list, then my next grocery order while keeping my ear on the door.

Nite nite orl

It's been a busy ole day and tomorrow is gonna be even busier 'cos of my groceries and two deliveries due before lunchtime.  As long as I get a high enough 'Morning Stability' score, I'll do my exercises in the afternoon instead of trying to cram them in and potentially having to stop part way through.

I've taken my last two pills of the night and I'm heading on up to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

I've woken up feeling like I haven't slept at all, so I'm already totally knackered.  My 'Morning Stability' score was 3 again, so I can do my laps and exercises today.  I've taken my morning pills with my only breakfast today then weighed myself and found that I'm 1.15kg over where the nurse wants me to be, so that's a relief.  The daily virus scan was clear, so it's time to get my first meal photo of the week up, then today's to-do list, then keep my ear on the recycling being picked up.

Well, I woke up at 4.30am and didn't see the point in going back to sleep.  My 'Morning Stability' score was 3 again but I'm not gonna risk my laps or exercises today otherwise I'll end up on the floor and not be able to get back to my feet.  I took my morning pills and they all went down fine, so I turned the water heating switch on at 5.25am and I'm gonna get into the bath at around 6am to see how hot or otherwise the water is after 35 minutes.

The virus scan was clear so I'm gonna get today's breakfast photo up, then today's to-do list, then see what the time is like after that.

BBS

Mornin' all/woops!

My memory was even worse than normal yesterday, by the looks of things, 'cos I didn't update this blog after I found out about the appointment day!

So far this morning I've taken my 'Morning Stability' reading which was 3 so I can do my laps again (but I'm not gonna risk anything else otherwise I'll be too wobbly for my medical appointment), my blood pressure was 107, my 10 morning pills have been popped and I've had a light breakfast of a yoghurt and orange juice.

I've just started the virus scan off, so I'll get my breakfast photo and to-do list up when that's finished.

Gonna get washed and changed at lunchtime so that I'm as fresh as possible when I go to the appointment this afternoon.

Well, today's the day that I start being tested for asthma... I honestly haven't got a clue if I've got it or not, but it's in my hospital medical records so I wanna know one way or the other.

My Visible's 'Morning Stability' score was a 3 out of 5 this morning so I can, in theory at least, do one set of laps and exercises, but I'm not gonna risk it today 'cos of the medical appointment this afternoon.

I've taken my pills but almost threw one of them up.  I've also got washed and changed and brushed my teeth, then had a solid breakfast for potentially the first time this week.

This first blog post of the day is getting a bit long, so I'm gonna shut up and get today's to-do list together, then my breakfast photos resized and put up on here and Instagram.

I've woken up with a 'Morning Stability' score of 3 this morning so I'll be doing my laps and exercises this afternoon.  I then tried to take my blood pressure three times but it kept throwing up an error on me until I got the cuff exactly right.  My 10 morning pills all went down fine and I remembered that it was weekly virus scan and backups day, so that's plodding along nicely now, but means that I won't be able to have a solid breakfast today. My delivery has been dispatched overnight but isn't 'out for delivery' yet, so I'm guessing it'll be quite a way into the delivery window before it arrives.

I've taken the fruit juices off my OddBox delivery 'cos I've still got plenty left in the fridge.

Time to get today's to-do list together now I reckon.

Mornin' all

Well, I woke up to a 'Morning Stability' score of 4 this morning, for the first time since the 1st so I can do both sets of laps and exercises today and then prolly crash for the next few weeks lol

My blood pressure was slap bang in the middle of my normal range at 106 and my 11 morning pills all went down OK.  Breakfast today was just the glass of water to take my pills with.

It's grocery delivery day today, so I put the bags down by the door last night and I've gotta remember to put in my next order today.

The daily virus scan was still reassuringly clear, thankfully, so it's time for my breakfast photo and to-do list to get put up now.

I've woken up in a pretty bleh mood, then my blood pressure cuff not behaving made my mood even worse, my 10 morning pills all went down OK, as did my breakfast.  I then did my weekly weigh-in and I'm 1kg over where I wanna be, which ain't too bad... I'd rather be over than under for sure!

My 'Morning Stability' score was only 2 again this morning, so I can do my exercises this week, just not unless my score is at least 3.

My OddBox was delivered at about 10pm yesterday, but I woke up needing a wee at midnight, so brought it in before going back up to bed.

The daily virus scan has just finished and it was all clear for another day, so time to get my breakfast photos up, then today's to-do list, while I wait for my rubbish and recycling to be picked up and emptied.

Goooood mornin' all

I've woken up in a pretty decent mood this morning, I got a 3 out of 5 for my 'Morning Stability' score, so can, in theory at least, do my exercises today, but my weight is too low so I'm not gonna risk it.  My blood pressure was back to normal at 106 and I've taken my morning pills (which were a struggle to take this morning).

All of my things have been dispatched overnight and two are coming via an Amazon courier and the other thing by Evri.

My hayfever is through the roof this morning, so it's gonna be a high pollen day and I'm gonna feel pretty rotten all day.

It's gonna be a day of creamy hot chocolates at every opportunity this morning to try and get my weight a bit higher.

The daily virus scan was reassuringly clear, so I can get on with my day, safe in the knowledge that I haven't been affected by anything nasty and I'm not gonna affect any of my friends today either.

This first blog post of the day is getting a bit long, so I'm gonna shut up and get my breakfast photos up, then today's to-do list, then my first hot choccie of the day.

Nite nite orl

It's been a very long, totally exhausting day today and my weight is under where it's supposed to be again, so no more exercising until Monday at the very earliest again now and I'll be having chocolate and crisps and creamy drinks at every opportunity until then.

I'm expecting 3 deliveries tomorrow, so I hope I don't forget!

I've got 4 more months of Steve's finances to go through, then his savings account which I didn't even know that he had and it's just getting worse and worse!

My last two pills of the day have been popped and I'm heading off to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning.
