Third and final update to today's to-do list

• Turn on air purifier 
• Try to book sight test - I've emailed my SIL about this too - I've emailed the optician to see if they can do a home visit - my optician doesn't offer home visits but they've pointed me to somewhere that does vision and hearing tests in people's homes, so things are moving forward ever so slowly now - as soon as I can hear again, I'll make an appointment for the vision and hearing test with these people that my optician recommended - just contacted them about it and they are going to phone to sort out the details
• Boil water in preparation
• Get washed and dressed with my carer
• Refill kettle with water
• Have breakfast
• Do morning laps
• Do morning physio exercises
• Charge up FitBit
• Charge up Kindle - just started it, so hopefully it'll be finished by the time I've done my laps and physio - it's been at 98% for several hours so it's obviously not gonna take any more
• Put photo of breakfast on here and Instagram
• Give chopping board away to Freegler
• Give out of date food to Freegler
• Give posture corrector to Freegler
• Do the news
• Keep working on memorial site
• Have lunch
• Log lunch into FitBit app
• Put photo of my lunch up on here and Instagram
• Take lunchtime pill
• Do my afternoon laps
• Do the afternoon physio exercises
• Charge up old phone - charging up now
• Charge up new phone - it's already at 70% so shouldn't take too long
• Bring in last two Graze punnets
• Take part in the National Grid thing again
• Add more Kindle Unlimited books to my Kindle
• Study my courses
• Take evening pills
• Go to bed

Now's the time...

...to shut down and attempt to wrap up a couple of Yule gifts, then the National Grid thing again, then time for beddy-byes.

Was just my usual breakfast of 2 slices of wholemeal toast with dairy-free spread and a bottle of orange juice again this morning.  I've also had a couple of decaff coffees and I'm currently chomping my way through a tub of chocolate peanuts and raisins.

Goood morning all!

I've woken up in a great mood again today so I'm making the most of it this morning.

I've taken my morning pills, run the daily virus scan, got my breakfast out of the freezer and I've got a decaff coffee on the go while I wait for my morning carer.

I haven't had the headache I was expecting from getting my ears syringed yesterday, so that's another good thing.  I wanna get my other ear done at some point, but I can still hear pretty well out of it, so there's no real hurry for that to be done - everything is so loud now though!  lol

Gotta remember to charge my FitBit up again and there's another National Grid thing on that I signed up to yesterday, so I'm gonna charge my phones up too and scoff the last two punnets I've got from Graze 'cos there's another one due on Tuesday 'cos the money for it came out of my bank account in the early hours of this morning.

My carer could turn up at any time now, so I'm gonna use the opportunity while I wait for her to put today's to-do list together.
