Mornin' all

Aaaaand... relax.

I've just had my weekly bath and this week it was so gorgeous that I didn't want to get out lol  I was in there for about 50 minutes this week and I feel a lot more human now.  I obviously didn't fall asleep while I was in there, but I feel at least semi-human now.  I'm still knackered and in a lot of pain and really weak and wobbly, but I'm ready to face the day now, instead of feeling like I'm walking through treacle constantly.

Before I got into the bath, I pulled the water heating switch on then took my blood pressure (105 this morning), popped my 11 morning pills with my breakfast and then ran the daily virus scan, which was reassuringly still clear.  I'm charging up my Visible atm so time to get my breakfast photo up, then today's to-do list together after I've brushed my teeth methinks.

I don't care how risky it is tomorrow, I've been pushing myself too hard, too fast and too often for the last couple of weeks and I'm gonna sink into a hot, deep, lavendar-scented bubble bath tomorrow (as opposed to the shallow, warm, plain water of last week) and I'm gonna be treating myself especially gently.  I've still got a busy few days at the start of next week (big Freegle collection on Monday, groceries on Tuesday and weekly virus scan and backups on Wednesday) but nowhere near as bad as the last couple of weeks, thankfully.

I'm gonna look after myself soooooo gently for as long as it takes me to recover now.

I've popped my last two pills and I'm gonna head on up to beddy-byes in the hope that I'll fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow tonight.

I'll see you all briefly in the morning.

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.

Tomorrow (Saturday) I'm hoping...

...to have a very early bath in preparation for Evri to hopefully deliver between 8am and 8pm.  

If Evri deliver early enough then I wanna try taking my passport photo again and maybe even going for a slow, cautious, walk around my back yard.  I won't be lapping or exercising at the weekend 'cos I've pushed myself too hard, too fast and too often for the last couple of weeks.

The weekend and all of next week are gonna be recovery days so that I don't end up bedbound again, which I'm already on the verge of.

I've hopefully got kiwiberries coming in my OddBox on Sunday and lots of mince pies and a tub of chocolates coming with my groceries on Tuesday, to ring in the festive season and hopefully reach my minimum basket total easier between now and January.

I'm gonna aim to treat myself sooo gently all weekend and hopefully next week too... I need to recover instead of keep pushing myself before I screw myself up too badly.

Mornin' all

I've woken up feeling like I haven't slept again 'cos I woke up 5 times overnight for emergency wee's and a poo.  So far this morning, I've taken my Visible's 'Morning Stability' score (3) but won't be exercising today 'cos I'm seeing my best friend, taken my blood pressure (109), been for another poo, popped my 11 morning pills and got washed and dressed.

The virus scan has found an advanced issue, so I'd best publish this and sort it out before getting my only meal photo up, then today's to-do list.

Mornin' all

Well, I fell asleep pretty quickly last night because I was so exhausted, but my bladder woke me up at just gone 3.30am and I've been awake ever since.

My 'Morning Stability' score was 3 again, I've popped my 10 morning pills and got myself washed and dressed.  The virus scan was reassuringly clear, so I'm gonna take things very very gently today.

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

Mornin' all

I started the day with a rapid dash to the bathroom and only just made it in time, but my 'Morning Stability' reading was, thankfully, back up to 3.  I've taken my blood pressure which was back down to 120 again, popped my 10 morning pills, had a long soak (43 minutes this week as opposed to my recent times of less than half an hour) in a gorgeously hot bath (I decided against the bubbles this week so that I didn't fall asleep) and I've just brushed my teeth too.

I've unofficially weighed myself and I'm only 150g into where the nurse wants me to be, so I won't be exercising today, even though my Visible says that I can.

The daily virus scan was reassuringly clear again, so time to get today's breakfast photo up, then today's to-do list.  When it's naturally light outside, I'll try and remember to take my passport photo too then apply and pay for it, while keeping my fingers crossed that it's approved and I've got my photo ID in the pipeline.

Tomorrow (Saturday) I've gotta remember to...

...pull the water heating switch on so that I can have a bath and try not to fall asleep! lol

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.

I've had a busy morning so far with 5 trips to the bathroom in the first 90 minutes of my day!  My 'Morning Stability' score was another 3.

My blood pressure was, if I'm remembering rightly, 116 and I'm 200g into the safe zone with my weight.  I've brushed my teeth, popped my 10 morning pills and had my breakfast.

The virus scan found an 'Advanced Issue' which I'm guessing is my memoir that I edited yesterday, so I'll get my breakfast photo up and sort that out before getting my first to-do list of the week put up, along with the menu for this week.

Well, I've woken up to another 'Morning Stability' score of 3 out of 5 again, so I was all set to do another set of laps and exercises today, but something told me to weigh myself, which I did as soon as I came out of the bathroom from my first emergency wee of the day and my weight is under where the nurse wants me to be, so definitely no laps or exercises until I'm back up to where I should be... I can safely pig out on chocolate today and tomorrow though lol

A Freegler is interested in something and I've gotta remember to take photos of all the mugs and advertise them too.

The daily virus scan was reassuringly clear and my morning pills have been popped and the water heating switch has been on for an hour now, so I'm gonna go and have my weekly bath.

Be back after my bath when I'll finish off reading and reviewing yesterday's book.

Nite nite orl

It's been sooo good to spend the day with my nose stuck in this book, guilt-free and I'm proud of myself for not snacking at all.

Tomorrow is bath day, so I'll keep reading after I've had my bath and breakfast.

I'll see you all in the morning.

I woke up half an hour too early this morning, so I went for 2 wee's and put my glasses, socks and shoes on while I was waiting.  Today's 'Morning Stability' score is only 2 out of 5 so I'm gonna have to be gentle with myself again today.  My blood pressure was 110, I've popped my 10 morning pills and got washed and changed, then got the recycling box ready to be filled at a more appropriate time (ie when my neighbours have woken up and started their day).

Just started the virus scan so that'll hopefully be clear again, then I can put up potentially my last meal photo of the week and get started with my day.

A Freegler is interested in the wok and I've gotta remember to put my OddBox out this afternoon too.

My body is back to normal now, seemingly, because I got another 3 for my 'Morning Stability' score.  My blood pressure was 112 again and I've popped my 10 morning pills with today's only breakfast.  The daily virus scan was clear, so time for my shower now I reckon.  I'm not gonna do my exercises today or tomorrow 'cos I just won't cope with not having anything for my breakfast as well as doing them, but hopefully back to normal again on Monday.

Time to get today's breakfast photo up then my to-do list, then go and have my shower I reckon.

I'm absolutely freakin' knackered, so I've taken my pills and I'm heading on up to beddy-byes now.

Gotta remember to have a shower in the morning.

Well, so far this morning I've forgotten to do my Visible reading when I woke  up until after I'd taken my blood pressure, but it was a 3 so I can get back to my exercises this morning.  Gotta remember the Freegler at 2.30pm too.

I've taken my 10 morning pills, brushed my teeth, had my breakfast and run the daily virus scan which was reassuringly clear, so time to put my breakfast photo and to-do list up now I reckon.

Mornin' all

I had a very late night last night because of my delivery and a very late start to my day this morning, so I'm currently about an hour behind schedule for everything.

I've taken my 'Morning Stability' score which was another 4 this morning so I can do two sets of laps and exercises again today, my blood pressure was in what I'm assuming is my new range of 110-120, I've popped all 12 pills with my first breakfast, then brushed my teeth and had my solid breakfast then booted up my laptop and here I am.  The virus scan was reassuringly clear, so that's a positive and I can get today's breakfast photo's up and my to-do list together now.

It's been a long, knackering few days and I'm dead on my feet so I'm going to bed.

I've got a delivery due and I've gotta bring in my OddBox and keep an eye on my rubbish sack to make sure it doesn't blow away tomorrow so it's gonna be a busy day tomorrow.

I'm not gonna get washed or changed or brush my teeth or change the bedding tomorrow otherwise I'll be dead on my feet before lunchtime.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl.

Well, I've woken up feeling like I haven't slept, I'm knackered, sore and my head is all over the place, but so far this morning I've had my breakfast, popped my morning pills and got myself washed and changed as well as brushing my teeth, so I'm all set for the day now.

As soon as the daily virus scan has finished, I'll get my breakfast photo up, then today's to-do list then recover from my morning so far.  Gotta bag and box up my rubbish and recycling too, as well as putting out my OddBox container and refilling the dosette box ready for next week, so it's a lot of stuff to remember to do today!

I heard from the Freegler overnight and I can put 3 of the cupboard things onto Freegle and she wants at least one, possibly the other two things, so I need to remember to do that too lol

The virus scan has just finished and was, thankfully, clear, so I can open my emails and get the breakfast photo sorted now.
