Mornin' all

I woke up desperate for a wee, so I think I need to stop drinking at 4pm rather than 5pm now!

My blood pressure was pretty normal for me and my 10 morning pills have been popped with my glass of water, so I can have my breakfast whenever I want now.  The daily virus scan was still clear, so that's reassuring.

My best friend is coming over this afternoon so I've just gotta remember to pack my laptop away when my carer has left so that he's got somewhere to put his drink!

Time to get today's to-do list together now I reckon.

Nite nite orl

It feels like I've run a marathon today and spilling hot coffee all over my hand between the kitchen and living room just adds to the pain.

I've had to order some more envelopes for my hair to be sent off 'cos apparently it has to be sent in "strong envelopes" as opposed to the bubblewrap ones that I thought.  I've also ordered some more drinks for Sunday lunch treats and they'll both be here on Friday apparently

I've taken my pills and I'm gonna crawl on up to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl
