Mornin' all

Well, I managed just over 7 hours of sleep, so that's not too bad.

So far this morning I've been very forgetful - first I forgot to bring my bum bag downstairs, then I forgot to bring my clothes down, then I forgot to take my 5-HTP, then I forgot to take my blood pressure, then I forgot about the weekly virus scan, so I'm about an hour behind myself already and the day has only just started!

Gonna get today's to-do list together, then get washed and changed, then have my breakfast, by which time I'm hoping the weekly virus scan will have finished so that I can start the backups off while I'm doing my laps, sit-ups and crunches.

BBIAB

Mornin' all

I obviously put my body through too much yesterday 'cos I totally slept through the FitBit vibration on my ankle this morning lol

I've popped my 10 morning pills with my first glass of water of the day, had my breakfast and the daily virus scan is just finishing off.

Not gonna risk getting washed and changed this morning 'cos my legs just don't feel stable enough to hold me up for long enough and I'm gonna take today's laps very carefully.

Alexa is playing some Baroque music for me because I forgot to unplug her yesterday lol

I've potentially got a delivery due any time between today and Monday and a Freegler is interested in one of the things I advertised yesterday, so I'll have a look at that request when I've got the photo of my breakfast and to-do list together.

Yesterday's tea and today's breakfast (30-31 January 2026) photos

I completely forgot to put yesterday's tea photo up, and didn't remember until I was in bed with everything turned off!

Yesterday's tea was a 250ml mug of instant Minestrone Cup Soup and today's breakfast was two 80g packs of apple and grapes and a 500ml glass of water to wash my pills down with.

Here's yesterday's tea and today's breakfast photos:

 

Mornin' all

My Visible has decided to misbehave again overnight so I won't be able to log anything today.

I haven't taken my blood pressure this morning 'cos I completely forgot with the stress of my Visible throwing a strop and I'm not having breakfast today 'cos I've been significantly over budget a couple of times this week, so lunch and potentially tea are the only meals I'm eating today.

My morning pills have been popped and I've got washed and changed so I'm all set for the day now.  Gotta remember to take my rubbish and recycling outside when my socks have dried off.

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

Next Thursday I will...

...hopefully have earnt a celebratory J2O.

Why?

Because my heat pump is getting it's annual service and I'm really not looking forward to it.

If I'm remembering rightly it'll only take about half an hour, but I'll be on edge the entire time they are here in case they find something seriously wrong or it bursts into flames or there's a power cut or whatever.

I know that I'm over-thinking and getting paranoid and it's all very unlikely to happen but it's just the way my mind works with things I don't understand.  It's only once a year and I'm really hoping it'll be a morning call, with any luck the first one of the day, but I'm gonna be on edge until it's over and done with for another year.

When it's done and dusted, I'll have a celebratory J2O and waaay too much chocolate all afternoon.  I'll end up regretting being so piggish with an allergen, but I don't care - I'll need the reassurance that only chocolate can provide.

It's gonna be a busy week next week 'cos of the rubbish and recycling on Monday, groceries on Tuesday, weekly virus scan and backups on Wednesday, the annual service being on my middle nephew's birthday on Thursday, then I can breath until the start of February when I start the second/third edit of my second memoire.

I'm gonna be a bag of nerves next week and in my creative space the week after!

I've just...

...finished off the cream that I accidentally left out of the fridge yesterday and I've maybe just about got one more small mug of powder left in the tub, so I'll finish that off later/tomorrow too then it's new everything after that.

I'm trying not to have quite so much liquid today and definitely more solids to see how that affects my bottom, then I'll take it from there.

I've only poo'd twice in the last 6 hours which is a vast improvement on even yesterday, let alone Wednesday, so I'm hoping that the solid lunch of onion rings will mean that tomorrow is a bit more stable again.

I'm not gonna have any tea again today 'cos this afternoon is gonna be bedlummy enough as it is!  lol

Goood morning all!

I woke up to a Firmware update on my Visible this morning, so couldn't do my first reading of the day until that had finished, but my score for today is 2 out of 5 so it'll be another bad day for me.  I'll still do my laps, sit-ups and crunches, but I won't push myself too hard today

My blood pressure was at the low end of my normal range and I've had my breakfast because I forgot to get washed and changed this morning.

I then popped my 9 morning pills with my morning glass of water, so I'm dosed up until lunchtime now.

Gotta remember to charge up my Inspire today otherwise it'll die on me overnight.

My watch is charging up and I'm expecting 3 deliveries today so that I can get my kitchen into a better organised state than it is atm.

I've got a Freegler coming over for something too, as well as having to read the instructions for my new air fryer so that I don't blow up the street on the first use at lunchtime  😜

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.  The virus scan was clear so I can get my breakfast photo up too.

BBS

Nite nite orl

It's been a long ole exhausting day today, but I'm going to bed with a relieved smile on my face.

I've gotta remember to pull the water heating switch in the bathroom and have a gorgeously hot, relaxing, bubble bath, without falling asleep lol

I've also gotta remember to put the blood pressure spreadsheet onto my health site that I should have done today, but completely forgot.

I wanna start to edit my second memoir tomorrow too... I only wrote it at the start of October but I've already forgotten what I've written lol

It's gonna be a day filled with sugar tomorrow 'cos I'm gonna try having hot chocolates for my snacks instead of chocolatey biscuit bars 'cos I've been under the liquid minimum today, which ain't good.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl

Gooood morning all

I've woken up in a decent mood but sore and stiff and swollen after changing the bedding yesterday.

I forgot to take my Visible reading before I came downstairs so today's reading is a bit inaccurate.

My blood pressure was high for me, but still low in the reference range.

I've popped my 10 morning pills and set the monthly virus scan off, but haven't put in my next grocery order or had my breakfast yet.

This first blog post is getting a bit long, so I'm gonna publish it and get today's to-do list together now methinks.

BBS

I forgot about...

...the stinky mushroom farts!  lol

I guess I've gotta get used to the various bodily smells and feelings while my body gets used to having more than instant soup for lunch again lol

Goood morning all!

I've woken up to a dead watch again, so I must have forgotten to give it the second juicing yesterday afternoon.  My Inspire is in need of a charging up too, as well as my Visible so I'll try and do that before I meet up with my in-laws today - the watch is the most urgent, then the Visible, then the Inspire.

I've popped my morning pills and the daily virus scan was still clear, so I've just gotta go and get washed and changed now.

Gotta remember to refill my dosette box after lunch so that I'm all ready for tomorrow.  Gotta take the rubbish and recycling out too, as well as putting in the Amazon order.

Mornin' all

I've only just realised that I forgot to say goodnight to you all last night!  I'm so sorry!

I've woken up on my birthday in a lot of pain, but I've taken my blood pressure (which was a bit higher than my normal), popped my morning pills, started charging my watch because the battery was totally dead again and run the daily virus scan which found an advanced issue this morning but that's totally sorted out now.

Today is my birthday and it's a Sunday so I've gotta remember to refill my dosette box after lunch.  I forgot to take the Falafels out of the freezer last night, so I'll be having another box of mince pies for my lunch today and I've gotta remember to charge up my Inspire after my watch is fully juiced up again.  Gotta remember to take my rubbish and recycling outside too.

This first blog post of the day is getting a bit long so I'm gonna shut up, put today's to-do list together then start writing again.  I'm hoping for another 9 chapters today.

Mornin' all

Well, according to my FitBit I had a rough night and woke up before 4am so I'm obviously nervous about the side effects of today's jab.

I was desperate for a wee as soon as I woke up then forgot to take my Visible reading when I went back upstairs but I've taken that and my blood pressure reading now.  I've also got washed and changed, popped my morning pills and had my breakfast, so I'm all set for the day now.  The virus scan was still clear and I'll be putting 3 meal photos up before I forget, so I'll do that now while I remember.

BBS

Mornin' all

Well, I remembered that it was the weekly virus scan this morning, but forgot that I turned off the router at the plug last night so haven't been able to send the blood pressure and breakfast photo to myself yet.  I also forgot that I need to take my morning pills before my breakfast so my orange juice is gonna get a bit warm while I swallow them, which I'd best do now before I forget again.

BBIAB

Nite nite orl

I've had a busy day and I'm wiped out after hurriedly sorting out my undies ready for the morning, 5 minutes before pill-time so I've taken my pills 25 minutes late and I'm heading off to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl

Mornin' all

I've woken up (obviously), taken my Visible reading, popped my morning pills, had to change my password due to "suspicious activity" on my account and now I'm running the virus scan.

There were two things I was supposed to remember to do this morning but I can only remember that I need to find out the volume of my new mug - the other thing is completely lost forever so I hope I wrote it down somewhere yesterday!

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

*phew*

I've just had a letter come through letting me know that my postal vote has been approved "until further notice" so that's a relief and one less thing to stress about, even though I'd forgotten that I'd had to reapply in the last few months lol

Mornin' all

I've woken up feeling exhausted, in a lot of pain, swollen and just generally bleh which prolly means that today will be a bad day for me.

I've taken my last blood pressure reading of the week and it was high again (but still low on the reference range), popped my morning pills and started charging up my Visible - it's a good job I put the reminder on here last night 'cos I'd completely forgotten that I needed to do it this morning!

The last virus scan of the week was clear and I'm expecting a delivery today so I'm predicting it will turn up while I'm getting washed and dressed this morning if Loki is in top form today - I'm asking that it arrives at a more sensible time though lol

Time to get today's to-do list together while I wait for my final carer of the week now.

BBS

Mornin' all/woops!

I accidentally shut my computer down before I put up my final to-do list and said goodnight to you all, and didn't remember until I was curled up in bed last night!  Woops!

So far this morning I've been for 2 wee's, pulled the water heating switch in the bathroom ready for my 5am bath, taken my blood pressure which was at the top end of my normal range, popped my morning pills with my first glass of water of the day and run the daily virus scan, so I've had a pretty productive 40 minutes!

Time to get today's to-do list together, my blood pressure into the spreadsheet then go and have my weekly bath now I reckon, then I'll have my breakfast when I get out and keep reading and reviewing the book while I wait for my delivery.

Mornin' all

I woke up and didn't want to get out of bed this morning, then when I eventually decided that I couldn't put it off any longer, I tried to take my Visible reading but my phone wouldn't turn on, so I thought it must have died while I was asleep.  I jumped out of bed, put my glasses on and stumbled downstairs urgently to charge it up... only to discover that it was turned off rather than dead! lol

I took the Visible reading, then my blood pressure, then got my breakfast ready before remembering that I had to take my pills, so I got myself a glass of water, popped them then drank my breakfast while the virus scan was running.

I'm back on track now, but feeling a bit nauseous because of all the rushing around I did in the first half an hour of my day, which is less than good, but never mind eh?

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