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.

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.

BBS

I was wrong, I'm sorry

I thought my medical appointment and taxi were today, so I got totally ready today and barely drank this morning, but I've just checked my appointment and with the taxi and it's tomorrow not today - woops!

I can have a proper lunch now!

Today's (7th July 2026) lunch photo

I really should have resisted the crisps for elevenses when I knew full well that I'd be having almost 11 servings of fruit for lunch today and all this week lol  It was the last sharing bag of crisps so it's just chocolate in the drawer to snack on to please my sweet tooth now.  I've got wholemeal bread and fruit bread in the freezer along with vegan spread in the fridge ready to go for my teas starting tomorrow.

Today's pig-out fruity lunch consisted of:  2 pears, 2 apples, 2 plums, 2 apricots, 5 strawberries and 8 cherries all washed down with a 330ml can of a Sparkling Mango pop.

Here's today's lunch photo:

I shouldn't've...

...had the crisps for elevenses today in the full knowledge that I'd be pigging out on 10 portions of fruit for lunch lol

I'm now completely bloated so gonna give it a couple of hours before I do today's exercises otherwise I'll be throwing up everywhere lol

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.

BBS

Mornin' all

I've woken up to a 'Morning Stability' score of 2 out of 5 today, so there won't be any exercising today and I'm not hungry, so I'm not having anything other than the glass of water for my breakfast.  I've got washed and changed and brushed my teeth this morning though, so I'm clean for the first time since Sunday morning now.

I started off the weekly virus scan before I went to get washed and changed, then checked it when I sat down and it was at 94% so that'll hopefully finish soon.

I also discovered that I didn't give yesterday's to-do list it's final edit or say goodnight to you all, so I must've been absolutely knackered last night.

My morning pills have been popped and my blood pressure was waaay higher than my own personal range, but still low, so I'm not too worried.

The virus scan has just finished so I'll start off the backups then put today's to-do list together, but won't be able to put my breakfast photo up until after they've finished, which could be any time!  If it's close to lunchtime then I'll put both my breakfast and lunch photos up in the same post.

BBS

Gooood morning all!

I've woken up stiff as a board and my left shoulder and neck are killing me, but the Visible overnight reading worked and gave me a score of 3 out of 5 again, so I'll be able to do my laps, sit-ups, crunches and twists again today.  I've also discovered that my Visible band is waterproof, so I'll be able to wear it when I get washed and have my weekly bath, which is reassuring.

I've taken my blood pressure which was lower than my usual at only 98, taken my 10 morning pills and had my breakfast without the juice this morning 'cos I accidentally put the milk on before filling up the bottle.

Gonna spend today with my nose in a book, so don't worry if I'm quieter than usual.

The daily virus scan was reassuringly clear, so it's time to get today's breakfast photos up then today's to-do list.

I've accidentally...

...had caffeine at 5pm so won't be able to sleep tonight and it's made me feel sick so I really won't be able to lay down tonight anyway, so you'll have to put up with me all night.  I'm really hoping that the deliveries are early tomorrow so that I can flop into bed and catch up on my sleep without it triggering off my insomnia again.  I've got my groceries due in the morning too, so I'm gonna be a total mess by the time I crawl up to bed!

I was wrong this morning, I'm sorry for my mistake

I thought and typed this morning that today would be my Mindful Souls subscription box but I've just checked my account and it's not due until 7th May so today's delivery is a product test that I can't wait to try out and I'll let you all know my thoughts on it as soon as I'm allowed to - I'm hoping it's yummy and me-friendly otherwise I'll be spending forever in the bathroom and potentially bouncing off the wall for hours lol

I'm sorry for my mistake this morning.

I was wrong again this morning

I assumed my monthly delivery would be here today when I saw that I had an email from Royal Mail, but it's due on Friday 1st May (aka Beltane) between 10.30am and 2.30pm instead - that'll teach me to make assumptions lol

Sorry for my second mistake in two days!

Mornin' all

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.

BBS

Woops!

I realised while I was doing my laps that I should only have been doing them once a day because of where my weight was on Monday, but I've been doing them twice a day and it's pointless/too late to stop doing that now this week, 'cos there's only one exercise day left!

If I'm over .55kg then it's twice a day.

If I'm between .00 and .50 then it's once a day.

If I'm below .00 then it's once every other day.

You watch me forget again next week lol

I was wrong yesterday, I'm sorry

I said yesterday that I was gonna have my second dose of caffeine this week, this morning, but yet again I forgot.  I was wrong and I'm sorry for my mistake.

Will tomorrow be any better or will it be Sunday or not at all any more this week??

Woops!

I've remembered, then promptly forgotten, to update this blog several times today, but I think I've achieved a fairly decent amount in the last few hours.

I almost...

...got a free pork belly, except that I didn't order it and I've been vegetarian for over 35 years lol

The driver took it back with him, along with the substitutions, but someone could potentially be missing their meat on their Sunday roast by accident!

Today's (16th March 2026) lunch photo

My insides are swimming in oil now, but I'm feeling particularly proud of myself for achieving so many firsts with making my lunch today.  It was simple (sweet potato fries and mixed veggies with a 330ml can of a Sparkling Passion[fruit] pop) but I accidentally used waaaaaay too much oil.  I made plenty of mistakes, but I know where things didn't go right now and will be able to change them tomorrow.

Here's today's lunch photo:

Considering it was mostly first's...

...and literally the only things that weren't were the time, temperature and drink, I think I did amazingly well for lunch!

I know now that the oil sprays even when I think it doesn't (I put about 20 sprays on and only felt 3 or 4 of them so I kept adding more and more oil), and I need to put the liner into the air fryer first, then the sweet potato fries, then 1-2 sprays of oil, then the veggies, another 2-3 sprays then into the machine instead of doing it with the liner on the plate, then the fries, then the veggies, then the oil and trying to lift it all into the basket in one unstable try.

Nobody should be expected to get absolutely everything right the first time they ever try something so I'm feeling really proud of myself for achieving such a good result, even though it wasn't perfect.  I know where I've gone wrong and I'll keep adjusting until I've got it right, just like I have with everything else.

WTG me!

Woops! lol

I wondered why the reset of my Visible didn't work this morning... I forgot to unpair, force stop and forget it before restarting it! lol  I'm hoping that things will be back to normal again tomorrow now lol

Today's (18th February 2026) lunch photo

I think I was wrong when I said that I'd be having the butternut squash on Thursday - I forgot that I didn't have a proper lunch on Monday so there's still one sausage roll left, which I'll have tomorrow then the hash browns and butternut squash on Friday and Saturday.

Today's lunch was the same as yesterday's - a vegetarian sausage roll, 3 hash browns, approx 10g of Vegan Mayo and a 330ml can of a passionfruit pop.

Here's today's lunch photo:
