Mornin' all

How are you all doing this morning?

I've already taken my morning pills and I've got my second cold of the year coming out, so that'll be fun in a not sort of way!

I'm gonna have my breakfast early this morning so that I can move Patrick into the kitchen after my morning carer has gone, ready for Steve's bariatric chair being taken at some point today... I think it's really gonna hit me that he's never coming back then and I'll be a total mess 😢.  I've got my enabler coming out this afternoon too, so she'll have to put up with my tears if it's gone by then.

My daily virus scan has just finished and was still clear, so that's a relief.

I'm not even gonna pick up my Kindle today 'cos it's gonna be such a busy day.

Time to put my to-do list up then go and get my breakfast now I reckon.

Nite nite orl

I've just taken my pills so the side effects of this brand are kicking in faster than my usual brand and I'm gonna head to bed for the final time with Steve's chair here 'cos I've gotta remember that it's being picked up at some point tomorrow.  It's gonna be weird having so much space in here by this time tomorrow...

Nite nite orl.

Today's (1st March 2023) lunch photo

Today's lunch was a real pig-out and tomorrow's will be a mug of instant soup because Steve's chair is being picked up at some point, so I'm getting as many calories as possible into me today so that I don't risk losing weight that I can't afford on weigh day on Monday.

It was 3 portions of vegan popcorn chicken, 8 onion rings and 2 corn on the cob, so I think I've hit my 5 portions of fruit and veg today.

Here's today's lunch photo:

Just to clear up the confusion...

...in my first blog post this morning when I said that I wasn't expecting anyone today, I meant like my social worker or enabler or support worker or deliveries or groceries and things like that... my carer's should still be coming out for my lunchtime visit, it's just the non-daily visits I meant was all... sorry for the confusion!

Today's (1st March 2023) breakfast photo

I'm getting used to the blandness of the fruit and fibre cereal now - very boring for me to eat, but healthier than chocolate lol

T'was a big bowl of the cereal, soya milk and a bottle of orange juice for my breakfast this morning and I've got a decaff coffee on the go now to warm me up a bit.

Mornin' all

Well, after having the different brand last night, I've discovered three things about it:  I wake up at a more sensible time (5am instead of 3am) but I can't get out of bed as easily when I wake up and I'm a lot more restless overnight too.  I've got much less motivation and energy and I just can't be arsed with anything this morning as well as my mood being through the floor.

I've taken my morning pills and remembered not to open my emails so far - I'm just waiting for my anti-virus programme to let me run my weekly scan.

I haven't got anyone coming out to see me today (AFAIK) so I'll just do the normal daily things and spend the day devouring a book I reckon.

Gonna put up my daily to-do list then have my breakfast when I've started the virus scan going, then wait for my morning carer.
