Mornin' all

I've woken up in a pretty decent mood, my 'Morning Stability' score is 3 so I can do a single set of my laps and exercises today, my weight is comfortably in where the nurse wants me to be without being over, my blood pressure was back down to 106, I've had my two breakfasts, taken my 10 morning pills and done the washing up, then came in to run the first virus scan of the new week which was still reassuringly clear.

I've had a good morning so far and I hope my day continues in the same fashion.

I've gotta remember that a Freegler is coming for the wok at 5.15pm today too, so lots to do today!

My OddBox was delivered before I went to bed yesterday, so that's all sorted and put away now.

Time to get my breakfast photos resized and up, then my to-do list and then get moving for the only time today, before drinking today's only allowed caffeinated drink and bringing the recycling box and food waste caddy in when they've been emptied.

I'm not going to bed quite yet, but I wanna close as much down as I can before my fan finishes recharging, so I've taken my last two pills of the week and I'm saying goodnight to you all now, before I forget.

My recycling is outside, as is my OddBox, so that's all ready for the morning and I'll be trying Pak Choi for the first time in my life next week too.

I'll see you 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.

Just a quickie tonight 'cos I'm thoroughly knackered, I've taken my last two pills of the day and I'm heading on up to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning when I've gotta remember to box up and take out my recycling.

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.

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.

Today (13th July 2026) I'm grateful for...

...not snacking all morning after I'd had my breakfast and before I had my lunch.  I haven't got anything snackable, but if I had then I wouldn't have been able to finish my lunch and would then be hungry and snack again before my tea, which I wouldn't have and I'd be hungry at bedtime then!  Thankfully it was a cycle that I managed to avoid starting on, even though it was very tempting and it won't be so easy starting tomorrow 'cos I've got lots of snacks coming with my groceries.

I'm grateful that I've kept myself hydrated so far today and that I've put my personal phone and Visible on to charge up, so they will hopefully both be good to go before bedtime.

I'm grateful that my rubbish and recycling were both emptied this morning and I was able to bring the containers in and put them back into their homes reasonably early this week.

I'm grateful that today has been a good day so far and I'm gonna spend the rest of the afternoon and part of the evening hopefully finishing off going through Steve's current account statement so that I can start on his savings account that I didn't even know that he had until the bank told me so it'll be both interesting and heartbreaking to see what he was using that account for.

Gooooood mornin' all!

I've woken up feeling pretty positive and it feels like I've achieved a pretty decent amount already today!

My blood pressure was even higher this morning at 115 but that's still low.  I'm gonna try and remember to ask to get my blood pressure checked when I go for the blow test to see if I've got asthma on the 17th - you watch me forget though lol

My 9 morning pills all went down fine this morning, thankfully.

I weighed myself after I'd had my breakfast and I'm slap bang in the middle of the weight range that the nurse said to aim for, so I can exercise again this week, but not today 'cos my 'Morning Stability' score was only 2 this morning.

I've moved the recipes into their appropriate folders now and I've got 2 puds and the rest were lunches from OddBox so far.  I've got more folders ready and waiting for breakfasts, teas and drinks whenever I get them, but it's another thing to cross off my to-do list this morning.

Gotta remember to bring my recycling box and waste food caddy back in when they've been emptied this morning.

Gotta change the bedding at lunchtime too and take the duvet off the bed entirely so that it's just the sheet and pillow for the rest of Summer now.

The virus scan was reassuringly clear, so I'm gonna do my Monday admin, get my breakfast photos up then today's to-do list together.

Nite nite orl

It's been a very long, thoroughly exhausting day today and I've given up on waiting for my OddBox to be delivered before I go to bed, so I've popped my last two pills of the day and I'm heading on up to beddy-byes now.  It's weigh-in day tomorrow, so I'll hopefully have put on enough weight to re-start my exercises, but we'll have to wait and see.  Gotta remember to get washed and changed again too.  And officially start Summer with a new sheet and no duvet for the rest of Summer - I'm predicting that it'll be chilly as soon as that happens though lol  Gotta bring my recycling box and food waste container in when they have been emptied too.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Mornin' all

Well, I fell asleep pretty quickly last night but waking up this morning was a real struggle.  Got another 3 out of 5 for my 'Morning Stability' score, which is my usual score seemingly.

So far this morning I've taken my blood pressure which was slightly high for me but still low at 111 again, my morning pills have been popped, I've got washed and changed and here I am.

The daily virus scan was clear, so that's reassuring, as is the fact that I've only fallen over three or four times in the last hour or so.

I've boxed up my food waste and recycling, so I hope I remember to take it out today.  Gotta remember to pop my OddBox container outside this afternoon too.

Time to download and resize my breakfast photo now methinks.

Mornin' all

My OddBox turned up at almost 9pm so I brought it in and put it all away before I went to bed and I fell asleep pretty quickly and easily, so maybe 7pm is too early for me and I should aim for 9pm bedtimes instead??

I've taken my first blood pressure reading of the week and it was really high for me but just about into the medical reference range, so I'm not too worried about it.

I've also popped my 10 morning pills and they all went down fine.  I've had my breakfast and weighed myself and I'm right where the nurse wants me to be, which is a relief, but can safely lose another 500g without going under and my Visible score was 3 today, so as long as I feel up to it I might gently stroll through a few laps today if I can motivate myself, but it's no big deal if I don't.

I'm expecting 2 deliveries today, so I hope they turn up earlier rather than later today so that I can get everything opened and used.

Gotta remember to bring in the recycling box and food caddy when they've been emptied too.

The daily virus scan was clear so I'm gonna get my first breakfast photo of the week up, then today's to-do list.

Mornin' all

Well, looks like today is gonna be another day of diarrhoea but hopefully it won't be too bad.

My blood pressure was normal, I've popped my morning pills, had my breakfast and started off the monthly virus scan while charging up my phone and Visible again.

An Olio-er is interested in the apples at last so I'm hoping they'll go today, but they changed their mind about the time they would be coming 3 times overnight, so I've just gotta hope that they actually turn up at all.

I've got a 'Morning Stability' score of 3 this morning, so I'll be able to do one set of laps and exercises when the apples have been picked up.  I've gotta keep an eye on the delivery time thing too, just in case they are early.

Gotta remember to put the OddBox container and my rubbish and recycling out this afternoon too.

Time to get today's to-do list together while I wait for the virus scan to finish the last 1% then I'll back up my archive folder and delete it then carry on with my day.

Gooood morning all!

Today is gonna be a good day 'cos I've woken up with a morning stability score of a huuuge 4 out of 5 and my weekly weigh-in means that I can do two sets of laps and exercises today!

I've got an Olio-er coming for the melon and mango at 1pm today and I've got my delivery coming today too.  I've taken my monthly Visible reading but there's nothing that I can download, but my FunCap score for last month was 1.7 compared to a healthy person's score of 6.

My first blood pressure reading of the month was 110 so that's right at the top of my own personal reference range.

I've popped my morning pills but forgot to take a photo of the first glass of water, so I've got a second glass of water for my breakfast so today is gonna be incredibly healthy!

My weekly weigh-in shows that I'm 1.8kg over where the nurse wants me to be, but I've lost 700g since my last weigh-in so that's reassuring and I'll hopefully be back down to where the nurse wants me to be in a couple of weeks.

The daily virus scan was clear so I'm gonna get today's breakfast photo up and then my to-do list, then my first set of exercises of the day, then hopefully my recycling and food waste caddy will have been emptied so I can bring those in too and wait for the Olio-er before having my lunch.

Mornin' all

I've only just realised that I didn't give my to-do list it's final update or say goodnight to you all last night because I completely forgot!  I'm so sorry!

Today is gonna be a bad day 'cos I almost didn't make it to the bathroom in time, my Visible didn't have enough battery power, at 55%, to take my morning stability score this morning so I dunno if I can push myself or not, then my phone decided that it didn't want to zoom in so I restarted it and it wouldn't open my camera for a little while.  When my phone eventually let me access the camera, I took my blood pressure and my phone wouldn't let me attach the photos to an email so I had to restart it again.  I filled the glass with water but was so thirsty that I drank half of it before I even left the kitchen, so had to refill it after my fourth wee of the morning and I'd only been awake for half an hour at that point.  My pills got stuck in my throat and I almost threw up several times.  I went for my fifth wee of the morning and made my breakfast but I couldn't zoom in or take the photo for about 30-45 seconds, which was annoying.

I've managed to log on to my computer and start my Visible charging up and the daily virus scan was clear, so I'm just gonna take it very gently today.

Gotta remember to take my recycling outside and refill my dosette box this afternoon, then put the OddBox container outside at about 5pm then wait to see if my delivery turns up again today or if I'll have to wait until tomorrow.

This first blog post of the day is waaay too long already so I'm gonna shut up now and get my breakfast photo up, then my to-do list.

Mornin' all

Well, I started off the day with my usual two very desperate wee's in 14 minutes, then I took my blood pressure, went for another urgent wee, took my 10 morning pills, went for my 4th wee of the morning, make and drank my breakfast, went for another wee, washed up and weighed myself.  I've put on over a kilo in the last week, which ain't good 'cos I'm now 2kg overweight.  My Visible gave me a reading of 4 out of 5 today, so I'll be doing two sets of laps, sit-ups, crunches and twists today and will try not to snack all week.  The virus scan was reassuringly clear again, so that's good news.

I had a good week with my pills last week and managed, somehow, to take all of them so I had to refill all the bits in the dosette box yesterday - it's been a long time since I last did that!

I've also taken a 5-HTP gummy this morning 'cos I really didn't want to get out of bed, which is always my signal of my mood plummeting.

Gotta remember to bring the recycling box and food waste caddy in when they've been collected today.

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

Well, so far this morning I've taken my blood pressure (which was within my own personal reference range), popped my 10 morning pills, got washed and dressed and started off the daily virus scan.  My fitness tracker is out for delivery and I bet it'll turn up when I'm not available to bring it in again lol

There's no breakfast photo this morning, so yesterday's lunch could have been the last photo of the week if I don't have any tea again today.

Gotta remember to take the recycling and food caddy out this morning and put the Oddbox out later on too.

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

It's been a long ole day today and the side effects from my last two pills of the day are rapidly kicking in, so I'm gonna head on up to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning when I've gotta remember to take the recycling out, but not the rubbish 'cos there's barely anything to go out this week.  I've gotta remember to scrub myself clean and put my OddBox container out in the early evening too - I'm hoping it'll be another early delivery like it has been since the start so I'll put the box out at about 5.30pm just to be sure.

Nite nite orl

Mornin' all

Well, last night's storm was short and sharp and had finished by the time I took my pills lol

So far this morning, I've taken my Visible reading which gave me a score of 4 this morning, took my blood pressure which was low even for me, been for 4 wee's, popped my first 9 pills of the week, had my breakfast and weighed myself (I've put on a kilo in the last week), then booted up the laptop and ran the virus scan which was still clear.

I'm in too much pain to change the bedding again today and my weight means doing 2 sets of laps and exercises a day as long as my Visible reading is OK each morning.

This first blog post of the day is getting a bit long so I'm gonna get today's breakfast photo up, then my to-do list and see how I feel after that, but maybe an early start on my laps and exercises or should I wait until I've brought the recycling in?

BBS

Mornin' all

Well, the pain is back, but I'm thinking it's psychosomatic now because I'm fine when I'm busy, but as soon as I sit down and relax, it's back!

So far this morning I've taken my Visible reading which gave me another 3 out of 5 for my Morning Stability score for the day, taken my blood pressure which was right at the top of my own personal normal range, popped my 10 morning pills, got washed and dressed, taken the recycling out (there isn't enough rubbish to make it worthwhile) and run the daily virus scan (which was all clear, thankfully).

Time to get potentially the last meal photo of the week's photo put up on here and Instagram, then sort out the last 6 blood pressure photos to put on my health site, then get today's to-do list together now I reckon.

Nite nite orl

I've gotta remember to bag and box up my rubbish and recycling tomorrow and I've also gotta refill my dosette box after lunch too, as well as potentially doing my laps and exercises and of course getting washed and changed in the morning and putting up next week's menu and putting the OddBox container outside after lunch too, so lots of things to remember and I bet I'll forget something 🙄

Considering I've had my bath and done my laps and exercises today, I'm still just about under my Pace Points budget and it's still working so far, so that's a big relief.

I've taken my last two pills of the day and the side effects are rapidly kicking in, so I'm heading on up to beddy-byes now.

See you all in the morning.
