Today's (29th August 2026) breakfast photo

Today's pre-bath breakfast was just my normal 500ml glass of water to wash my 10 morning pills down with, but no juice this morning.

Here's today's breakfast photo:

Mornin' all

I started the day with a rapid dash to the bathroom and only just made it in time, but my 'Morning Stability' reading was, thankfully, back up to 3.  I've taken my blood pressure which was back down to 120 again, popped my 10 morning pills, had a long soak (43 minutes this week as opposed to my recent times of less than half an hour) in a gorgeously hot bath (I decided against the bubbles this week so that I didn't fall asleep) and I've just brushed my teeth too.

I've unofficially weighed myself and I'm only 150g into where the nurse wants me to be, so I won't be exercising today, even though my Visible says that I can.

The daily virus scan was reassuringly clear again, so time to get today's breakfast photo up, then today's to-do list.  When it's naturally light outside, I'll try and remember to take my passport photo too then apply and pay for it, while keeping my fingers crossed that it's approved and I've got my photo ID in the pipeline.

Nite nite orl

I'm absolutely knackered after yesterday so I've taken my pills and I'm heading on up to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all for a while in the morning.

Nite nite orl

...pull the water heating switch on so that I can have a bath and try not to fall asleep! lol

Considering...

...I woke up to a 'Morning Stability' score of 1 today, I don't think I've done too badly at all - especially the number of bathroom visits!  I've been for 8 wee's and a poo today, which is pretty much half of the number of visits I usually make in a day, so I'm pretty proud of that!
