Mornin' all

I've woken up feeling like I haven't slept for a week, but discovered that my phone just about holds on to staying light for the length of the blood pressure testing as long as I start the blood pressure machine as soon as I've put my phone on the table and take the photos as soon as it's finished, which is reassuring.  My blood pressure was 17, I've popped my 12 morning pills and had a solid breakfast this morning for the first time this week I think, so I'll have to wait and see how that affects my snacking this morning.

I got another 3 for my 'Morning Stability' score, so I'll be able to do my exercises this morning, then brush my teeth if I need to take my inhaler.

I've taken one of the juices off my next OddBox order 'cos I've still got enough to last me until next Thursday so don't need 2 cartons!

My hayfever is rotten already this morning, so I've just put the air purifier on.

I'm pondering on putting the duvet back onto the bed next time I change the bedding 'cos I wake up feeling a bit cold but don't wanna do it too soon in case there's another heatwave on the way lol

The virus scan was reassuringly clear, so time to get my breakfast photos and then today's to-do list together now methinks.

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.

Goooood mornin' all

I've woken up feeling really positive this morning and my 'Morning Stability' score this morning was a huge 4 out of 5 again, so I'll be able to exercise twice today and try and remember to have the hydration booster before the morning exercises and after the afternoon exercises, which is the maximum that I can have in 24 hours.  Assuming my 'Morning Stability' score is at least 3 tomorrow morning I'll try it during my exercises to see which my body prefers.

My hayfever is already through the roof, so it's gonna be a rough day for that already unfortunately.

I've taken my blood pressure, which was a bit higher than normal, but I'm guessing that's because of the temperature outside and my body is trying to keep me cool.  My 10 morning pills have been popped, including the two probiotic & pre-biotic gummies, which will be my usual amount for a while and 11 on Tuesdays and Thursdays and 12 on a Tuesday or Thursday if my mood is low.

The weekly virus scan is at 85% so I'll get my breakfast photos up now, then my to-do list, then start my first set of exercises of the day.

Mornin' all

Well, today could've started better!  lol  I brought today's clothes downstairs, took my blood pressure and popped my 9 morning pills and it was good until I remembered that I hadn't taken the photo of the glass of water, for my last meal photo of the week!  Thankfully there was still a small amount of water in the glass, so I took the photo, finished the glass off and went to get washed and changed... before realising that I'd mixed the top of my jeans up and that I would be wearing the wrong one today - woops!  I went back upstairs and changed the tops around then came back downstairs.

I then went for a poo, which was a combination of diarrhoea and constipation.

Then I got washed and changed and brushed my teeth, only to discover that the batteries needed changing and the socks I'd brought down first thing (when I first came downstairs) were too long to go underneath the legs of my trousers, so up I went again to find my ankle socks.

Came downstairs for the third time in under two hours and weighed myself unofficially.  I'm now, officially, back down to where the nurse wants me to be.

My Visible gave me a 'Morning Stability' score of 3 so I'll do my various exercises this afternoon, for the last time this week.

My hayfever is aready through the roof, I'm sneezing my head off, sniffing constantly and my eyes are itching like crazy this morning, so I'm gonna feel awful all day.

The daily virus scan was still reassuringly clear though, so I can get today's breakfast photo up, then my to-do list now I reckon.

Nite nite orl

My hayfever has been in full swing today so I'm feeling pretty lousy right now unfortunately.

I've taken my pills and I'm heading on up to beddy-byes that I won't be woken up by hayfever or the desperate need to wee at 3am again.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl

Mornin' all

I've woken up to my bladder being very overactive this morning and I've been for 4 wee's since 3am and I've only been downstairs since 5am, so I've wee'd 3 times in the last hour  😒

I've taken my blood pressure which was back down to 108 again this morning, so that's a relief, my morning pills have been popped, I pulled the switch in the bathroom at 5.20am so it's bath time at 6.20am and the daily virus scan was clear.  My hayfever is already making me feel rotten, so it's gonna be a high pollen count today methinks.

Time to get today's breakfast photo up, then my to-do list, then it's bath time.

Mornin' all

Well, the aim of going to bed at 7pm and waking up at 5am kinda happened, except that I went to bed later because of yesterday's Olio-er and woke up at 4.44am to discover that my 'Morning Stability' reading refused to work... until I came downstairs and noticed that I'd turned my internet off last night lol  It's all working fine now though and I've got a score of 3 out of 5 again so I can do a single set of exercises today, which I'll do after I've had my lunch, which I'll have when my delivery has been (it's due between 7am and 1pm).

My blood pressure was higher than normal, but still a bit low, so I dunno what's going on there!  My hayfever is already making me cough and sneeze and my eyes are streaming and I'm sooo thirsty, so that's gonna make things even worse for me.

I'm expecting my groceries between 10am and 11am today, so I'm predicting that they will turn up at the same time as my delivery lol  I've also gotta remember to put in my next grocery order this morning too.

The daily virus scan was reassuringly clear, so that's a relief.

This first blog post of the day is getting quite long, so I'm shutting up now, getting my breakfast photos up and then today's to-do list.

BBS

Goooood mornin' all!

I've woken up in a decent mood, but my Visible score was only 2 out of 5 today, so I won't be lapping or exercising today.

I've taken my blood pressure and it was 110 which is right at the top of my normal range.  My morning pills have been popped and I've had a solid breakfast this morning, while finishing off the orange juice, so it's apple juice starting tomorrow.

My eyes are streaming, I'm sniffing and sneezing, so it's gonna be a hayfevery day on top of everything else today.

The daily virus scan was reassuringly clear, so it's time to get today's to-do list together now.

Mornin' all

I needed to restart my phone to get my Visible reading this morning, but my 'Morning Stability' score was a huge 4 out of 5 so I can definitely do my laps and exercises today!

My hayfever is already bad and I haven't opened any doors or windows for at least 20 hours, so it's gonna be a high hayfever day for me today.

I've popped my 11 morning pills, been for 3 emergency wee's in the first hour that I was awake, brushed my teeth, had my breakfast and run the daily virus scan so far this morning.

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

Mornin' all

Well, it's gonna be a bad hayfever day for me today 'cos my nose is already running, my eyes are itchy, I'm sneezing and just generally feeling pretty bleh.

I've taken my Visible reading which gave me a score of 3 out of 5 so I'll be doing my exercises, my blood pressure was out of my normal range and a bit high, my pills went down fine and I've had my breakfast.

The weekly virus scan is already at 30%, I'll do the backups when it's finished and a couple of Olio people are interested in my kitchen things, as well as Tuesday's no-show, but they won't be getting either of the things now.

It looks, according to the progress bar on Amazon, that both of my deliveries will be coming together today, but they aren't out for delivery yet.

This first blog post of the day is already getting to be a bit long, so I'm gonna shut up and put today's breakfast photo up then get today's to-do list together.

I realised, as I was resizing my breakfast photo, that I hadn't taken my morning pills!  They are all down the hatch now, but there's only one breakfast photo this morning.

Nite nite orl

It's been a long, hectic, stressful day that I'm glad is finally over and done with so I've taken my last two pills of the day, put in another repeat prescription for them, done my evening check-in with Visible and I'm going to bed now.

I've got another busy day tomorrow with two deliveries as well as my weekly virus scan and backups, potentially my second day of exercising (as long as my morning stability score is at 3 or above) and my first salad of the week with vegan cheese as well as eggs and spinach.

I've got a nasal spray to try for my hayfever tomorrow that came with the groceries this morning, so that's another first for me.

I started off a new tub of drinking chocolate a couple of hours ago, so I'm gonna dose myself up on those and plenty of cream tomorrow.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Well, I had a pretty disturbed night again and my hayfever is in full swing so I'm feeling pretty lousy atm.  I've taken my blood pressure which was higher than my normal, but still low in the medical reference range, popped my morning pills, had a shower and washed my hair then had my breakfast, so I'm back on track this morning.  The daily virus scan was still reassuringly clear too, so that's good news.  I've potentially got an Olio-er interested in my saucepans, but he obviously didn't read the full ad because he said he would come at 6pm today even though my ad said 5pm most days!

Gotta remember to wash and dry the towels today 'cos there aren't any clean ones left now!

Time to get my breakfast photo up, then today's to-do list now I reckon.

Gotta love...

...hayfever, in a not kinda way.

 

Mornin' all

I've woken up feeling stiff and sore and my head is all over the place, but my blood pressure was normal-for-me and my 9 morning pills went down OK.

I've brushed my teeth because my gums were white and had my breakfast, ran the (thankfully clear) virus scan and started charging up my watch.  

Someone on Olio wants the frying pans and saucepans, so as soon as they've gone I'll be able to sort out more of the cupboard.  Gotta remember to refill my dosette box after lunch and take the rubbish and recycling outside.

My hayfever is already through the roof so it's gonna be a bad day for that too, then opening the door to take the rubbish and recycling out as well as the Oddbox tub this evening is gonna make it even worse.  Oh joy.

Time to get today's to-do list together while I wait for my emails to download so that I can get both breakfast photos up.

Well, as I predicted to C yesterday, I only managed about 2 hours of actual sleep, the rest of the time I was tossing and turning.  As a result I'm knackered, swollen, in pain, my memory is shot and I just feel really rotten overall.

I'm getting my bathroom plug fixed this morning, so I'll do my laps and exercises after lunch.

I finished off the usable loaf of bread for my breakfast (the last two slices were welded together and I couldn't separate them) so there are officially 6 useable breakfasts per loaf.  It'll be choccie Weetabix, soya milk and blueberries tomorrow.  I've got 3 packs of apple and grapes that have a use-by date of today so I'll snack on those if I get hungry before lunch.

I've taken my blood pressure, which was smack bang in the middle of my own personal range, popped my 9 morning pills, had my breakfast (but filled the bottle with juice before I remembered that I was keeping it for the Weetabix - woops!), washed up and run the daily virus scan (which was clear), so I'm just gonna veg out until the plumber gets here now.  Gotta keep my ear on the door for a delivery and I've gotta put the OddBox box outside the door on Sunday too.

Just to really make me feel wonderful, my hayfever is already making me feel bleh too... oh joy.

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

For the first time since Sunday, I'm wearing fresh clothes!!  I got washed yesterday, but put the same clothes back on again... not this morning though - it's all fresh because I'm seeing my best friend today!

My blood pressure was back down to normal, my 10 morning pills went down fine, I've had my breakfast and a litre of water so far this morning, so I'm doing well!

The daily virus scan is almost finished, so I can get today's breakfast photos up when that's done and dusted and hopefully clear.

I'm sooo itchy this morning, but can't work out if that's because of hayfever or something else.  It's my skin that's itchy as opposed to my eyes so it could be anything!

Also, I was wrong last night before I went to bed - I said it was Beltane at sundown yesterday and it wasn't, it's sundown today to sun up tomorrow 'cos it's the Pagan Mayday (which is actually a Pagan celebration), so I'm sorry for my mistake.

The daily virus scan has just finished and it found an 'Advanced Issue' so hold on while I fix it... OK, all done and dusted until tomorrow now.

Time to get today's breakfast photos up.

Mornin' all

Well, I woke up an hour later than normal, so my body obviously needed the extra sleep last night!

So far this morning I've taken my blood pressure which was slightly lower than recently, popped my 11 morning pills then made, ate and washed up my breakfast things.  I had two bananas with my breakfast this morning 'cos they were starting to get quite spotty, so it was 2 for breakfast today, another 2 tomorrow and Saturday and then the last one on Sunday.

I decided against getting washed and changed this morning so that I didn't end up on the floor... it just wasn't worth the risk.

My hayfever is gonna be awful today 'cos my nose and eyes are already streaming and I'm constantly coughing so it's gonna be a fun day today!  Not!

The daily virus scan found an advanced issue which is now resolved, so time to get today's to-do list and plan together, then not move far from the sofa for the rest of today.  I've got several books on my TBR list, so I'm gonna kick back with the first book today I reckon and not feel guilty for not doing the housework.

Oh boy!

Today is gonna be a really bad hayfevery day 'cos I'm sneezing and streaming eyes already this morning!

Gooooood morning all!

I didn't want to get out of bed again this morning, so the 5-HTP was one of the 11 pills I popped this morning and it's already working!

My blood pressure was pretty normal for me at 104 and I've discovered that I need to put my toast in for a second toasting using the minimum setting after using the maximum setting.  I'm wearing my new glasses to write this and everything has sharp edges so it was work the extra money for this second set.

The daily virus scan was still reassuringly clear, so today's task is gonna be to start the editing of my second memoir after my best friend sent me the latest feedback last night.

I'm definitely into my hayfever season now 'cos my eyes are itchy, my nose is streaming and I can't stop coughing.

Time to get today's to-do list together, then my breakfast photo, then hopefully my OCD will be happy with me doing my first set of laps of the day.

Mornin' all

I've woken up in an OK mood and been for 3 emergency wee's already in the last hour, but I've taken my blood pressure and popped my 10 morning pills, had my breakfast and I've just put my Inspire on to get some emergency juice ready for when I do my laps, sit-ups and crunches.

I forgot to bring my clothes down with me and I'm too weak to safely go back upstairs, so I won't be getting washed and changed this morning.

The daily virus scan was clear, so that's reassuring and I've just gotta remember to put in my next grocery order and put the bags in front of the door for my groceries as soon as I've finished doing my laps.

I think I've worked out why I'm so coughy and sneezy and sniffy - hayfever again... oh joy.

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