Nite nite orl

The side effects are coming hard and fast tonight, so I'm gonna start shutting down all my apps/programmes and log off for the night now.

Nite nite orl.

Pills taken, carer's food...

...made and eaten, so I've just gotta take the empty plate out to the kitchen and wait for the side effects to kick in now.

Given the...

...seedlings their second watering of the day and the 38 Degrees ones desperately needed the water 'cos as soon as the water hit the soil, it disappeared instantly.  The Amazon seedlings needed the water too, but not quite so desperately 'cos there aren't anywhere near as many seedlings in those pots.  The single butterfly seedling seems to have lost all it's strength to stand upright, so I can't see it surviving unfortunately.  The tomato plant pots couldn't have cared less either way lol

Today's (17th May 2022) lunch photo

A quick and simple lunch today of just 6 waffles and a couple of decent squirts of brown sauce.  Apparently tomorrow is gonna be another simple day of potato croquettes, Thursday is instant soup 'cos of Steve's medical appointment then Friday is onion rings and veggie hoops so that'll be a way to test out the oven and hob at the same time... we still haven't used our new grill yet though lol

Here's today's lunch photo for you all:

Just watered...

...the seedlings and the 38 Degrees Bees seeds are absolutely flourishing.  The Amazon Bees are starting to pick up but the Amazon Butterflies are still pretty much non-existant lol  That's OK though... maybe they are just late to grow or something?  I'm happy that ⅔ of the seeds are growing with very little input from me (other than the planting and watering them) so that's pretty good going I reckon!

Today's (17th May 2022) breakfast photo

Just had my breakfast and the blueberries go out of date tomorrow and I haven't got enough soya milk for 2 smoothies, so I made an on-the-spot decision to have one of the boxes on my breakfast today and the same again tomorrow.

It was a good choice by me 'cos it added a healthy zap of sweetness to the granola and was a healthy way to get a few more goodies into me without too much effort.

The photo looks like it's a bowlful of blueberries, but I promise you there's tropical fruits granola beneath them 😉

Here's today's photo:

Mornin' all

How's things for you this morning?

It seems to be a pretty cool day out there today so hopefully the seedlings won't get burnt to a frazzle.

Our groceries are due in about 3 hours and I haven't had the substitution email yet - hopefully everything will be in stock.  Gotta remember to put together another order ready for booking the slot first thing tomorrow morning.

I've just taken my morning pills and they went down pretty easily so hopefully that means it'll be a good day for me today.

Steve's just made me another bottle of squash and brought it in for me this time, so he's now cared for me for 38 minutes so far this week and I've cared for him for 12 hours and 58 minutes... apparently I don't do anything to support him though <shrug>

Time to go and make my carer's breakfast for him now apparently, then it's time to water the seedlings for the first (only?) time today.

Nite nite orl

The side effects are starting to kick in, so I'm shutting down for the night now.

Nite nite orl.

That's Steve fed and...

...my last two pills of the day popped, so I'll be heading off to bed as soon as the side effects start kicking in.  

 

I'm only 25 minutes away from putting in double the daily required amount of caring for my carer and his total of caring for me is only 35 minutes, so he's got 34 hours and 25 minutes to do over the next six days and I'm on track for only needing to put in another 25 hours which will, if it's like most other weeks, be done and dusted just after lunch on Wednesday, then I'll be clocking up significant overtime that I'm neither being paid nor recognised for and my carer is receiving both for not even doing ⅒ of the weekly required amount, but that doesn't matter as long as he gets paid for (not) doing it, right?

I'd best go and do the washing up while Steve's eating his tea.

Updated totals for tomorrow

Steve wanted sausages and another tub of ice cream, so predictably that meant taking some of my stuff off and the totals now loook like this:

My stuff:  £9.34
Steve's stuff:  £24.72
Joint stuff:  £8.79

So Steve's stuff is well over half of the entire order yet again but it's my stuff then the joint stuff that comes off to make room for more of Steve's.  I don't think that there has been a single week that my stuff is significantly the most expensive, like Steve's is every week.  Last week was maybe £3-4 more expensive than his but that's an extremely rare occurance.
