Today's (26th September 2026) lunch comment

I was going to have the last 3 potatoes for my lunch today, but then spotted the brown paper bag in the drawer at the bottom of the fridge and remembered that I had baby tomatoes to have and that they prolly wouldn't last another day or two, so scrapped the potatoes and had 17 baby tomatoes and a 330ml can of a Sparkling Passion[fruit] pop instead.

Today's (26th September 2026) breakfast comment

Today's only breakfast was about as quick and simple as it comes - a 500ml glass of water to wash my 11 morning pills down with.  I'll be loading up on me-friendly creamy drinking chocolates today so that I can keep my weight where it medically should be.

Mornin' all

Well, I had a very disturbed night last night so I'm feeling like I haven't slept and my 'Morning Stability' score is 1 again but it's my weekly bath day so it's gonna be hard to treat myself gently today.

My blood pressure was 110, I've popped my 11 morning pills and it's almost bath time, so I'll put my breakfast photo up after I've had my bath, but I'll put my day's to-do list together before then 'cos I've gotta remember to take the Freegle things and photo deletions off and my bath on it, so I'd best do that now.

BBS

Nite nite orl

It's been a long, exhausting day today, even though the most active I've been is making my three meals.  It's my weekly bath day tomorrow so I hope I don't fall asleep and drown in the bath!

I've popped my pills and I'm heading on up to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all for a while tomorrow.

Nite nite orl
