Nite nite orl

The side effects are beginning to kick in, so I wanted to say goodnight to you all tonight while I remembered lol

I'll be back at sparrow's fart tomorrow.

Nite nite orl.

Fully dosed up for the day now

Just taken my last two pills of the day, so just gotta wait for the side effects to kick in again now.

Plants/seedlings have been...

...given their second drink of the day and my caring role instantly kicked in again 'cos my carer was snoring his head off by the time I stumbled back into the living room.  Other than the washing up and making drinks for my carer, I can recover now until bedtime.  I need to let my legs recover from so much standing up and not collapsing onto the floor while I made our lunch first though.

He's just woken up and wants a drink, so I'd best go and do that while I put my safety at risk again I suppose.

BFN.

Lunchtime pill...

...swallowed and my carer is fast asleep, snoring his head off after his huge lunch (he had ⅔ of the bolognaise, ¾ of the cheese and half of the pasta) and I've still gotta water the plants/seedlings, do the washing up, update the "available food" list and sort out the recycling into the various containers ready for Monday... gotta wait for my carer to wake up first though.

 

Steve'll be the only one eating tomorrow 'cos the pasta sauce container isn't big enough for both of us, so I'll be getting my calories from biscuits, ice cream and hot chocolates again.

I've already cared for my carer more than four times as much as he's cared for me all week so far.  He's gotta pull over 33 hours out of the bag before midnight on Sunday (which ain't gonna happen in reality) and I've been working considerable overtime since Wednesday afternoon (currently at 59 hours this week, the requirement is to provide 35 hours a week to be seen as a carer) but I'm sure you all know that rant off by heart by now, right?

Today's (3rd June 2022) lunch photo

Today's lunch was made entirely by me, Steve just drained the pasta and dished up and I'm feeling particularly proud of myself 'cos it was the first time I'd juggled 2 hot things at the same time!

The pasta could have been left cooking for a couple of minutes more, but it was al dente today which is how it's supposed to be, rather than totally soft all the way through like we usually have it 'cos that's overdone innit?

Either way, here's today's lunch photo:

 

That's the belly-buster gone, and...

...looks like I'm making lunch again today, but I've asked Steve to stand right next to me as I make it, just in case it bursts into flames or I get spat at or my legs give way underneath me or whatever.

It's vegan spag bol today so I'll have a saucepan (for the spaghetti) and frying pan (for the vegan mince and sauce) on the go at the same time.  Might even risk adding some kind of spice or whatever to it too... I'll see how I feel closer to the time though lol.  Steve'll have to do the dishing up 'cos I'm such a short arse (152 centimetres aka 5 foot) but I'll be the one burning it all 🤣

Mornin' all

I completely forgot to say goodnight to you all last night... it wasn't until I was on the verge of falling asleep that I remembered and decided against coming back downstairs, re-plugging in my laptop, booting up, logging in, loading up my browser, saying nite nite to you all then doing it all in reverse and risking not falling asleep until 3am, then getting up again at 5am so that I could start caring for my carer again.

I've got someone coming for the belly busting belt between 10am and 11am today and I've gotta take my morning pills, make breakfast for my carer then take his empty bowl back through to the kitchen and do the watering of the plants/seedlings before she arrives, so I'd best get started!

OK, that's my morning pills taken and I'm not gonna have any breakfast this morning 'cos I'm still full from my tea last night, so I've just gotta panda to my carer's every desire for the rest of the day now.

He's fallen back to sleep so looks like I'm waiting for a bit longer after all.

The virus scan was clear and I've just done a touch of tuning up of my laptop, so I've just gotta wait until he wakes up before I can do anything else.

Today's (2nd June 2022) tea photo

I've eaten 3 times today (if you can call a tub of ice cream for lunch, a meal), I'm stuffed and still 350 calories under budget.  Can't eat anything else now and it's gonna be a late night 'cos of eating in the evening too.

I've just had 10 battered onion rings and a portion of beansprouts for my tea from a local, independent Chinese take-away which means I'll feel sick when I go to bed tonight 'cos I'm forcing my body to digest food so close to bedtime so I'm gonna leave it as long as possible before I head to bed.

Here's today's tea photo:

Today's (2nd June 2022) lunch photo

A very make-do lunch today after making my carer's lunch for him as well as his breakfast.  I was supposed to have instant soup for lunch, but there's no way I would have been safe enough to stand up and wait for the kettle to boil, then slip and slide all over the kitchen floor with a freshly boiled kettle after I accidentally slopped all the fat from Steve's sausages onto the floor.  I've tried to wipe up the fat twice now and each time I could swear that I've got it all, but I still slide and wobble each time I move my feet, so I think I'll have to get some wet kitchen roll to try and get rid of it once and for all.

Today's make-do lunch was dairy-free chocolate ice cream and loads of maple syrup, so my dentist will love me and my sweet tooth craving has now been satisfied after this morning lol

Here's today's lunch photo:

Been out to do the gardening and...

...made my carer another hot drink before he fell asleep again.  Currently at 7 hours and 8 minutes of care today, so I'm on track for another 12-13 hour day, the same as every day this week.  An 85 hour week should be pretty easily done this week I reckon.

There are 3 ever so tiny seedlings in the butterfly pot as of about 15 minutes ago... do I dare to hope that they will hold on to full plant and even flowering status??

Time to resize my lunch and put it up on here and Instagram for you all now that I've added my lunch to the FitBit database!
