Today's (2nd December 2023) lunch photos

Today's lunch was made entirely by me again because my carer was more interested in mopping the floor for the third time in 23 hours than helping me to make my lunch!  It was the last in the box of instant vegetable Cup Soup and a 6 serving packet of crisps.

Here are the two photos of today's lunch:

Just...

...turned the immersion heater on, so I've got plenty of time to chow down on the crisps and do the laps and physio before I clamber into a hopefully hot bath.

Third 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 - she mopped part of the kitchen floor and spent the other 19 minutes sitting down, texting someone

Today's (2nd December 2023) breakfast photo

Today's breakfast was a bit different because the bread that I'd been using disintegrated in my hands when I tried to separate the two slices from the rest of the loaf, so today's breakfast was 2 slices of wholemeal 'Toastie' toast with dairy free spread and a 250ml bottle of orange juice.  I've also had a decaff coffee as soon as I had had my glass of water with my morning pills, then a decaff tea to warm me up and I've got another decaff tea on the go now 'cos I'm shivering with cold!

Here's today's breakfast photo:

Morning all

I completely forgot to say good morning to you all when I first came downstairs and turned my laptop on an hour ago!  I'm so sorry!

In that hour I've run the daily virus scan, taken my morning pills with my morning glass of water, drunk a decaff coffee to warm me up and put in my last grocery order of 2023 and I'm just waiting for my carer to turn up now.

I'm gonna have a bath ready for tomorrow so that I don't stink the house out tomorrow.  There's very little rubbish and recycling to go out, so I'll leave it for this week.

Time to publish this and make a start on my to-do list before my carer turns up now I reckon.

BFN

Nite nite orl

The National Grid thing has finished again and I'm feeling a touch loopy, so I've taken my pills and I'm gonna get offline and head to bed so that I don't subject any of you to the loopy me.

I'll be back again in the morning.

Nite nite orl.
