Thanks! @JCU @NancyTree @MadamMeow - It cleared up as the day went on, just too much bending over at once.
Missed yesterday, because it was a hectic day of bringing the Housemate home!
(Admittedly, I'm not entirely sure it was a good idea though.)
It's cold again this morning, not helping with how sleepy I am, did quite well on the exercises though:-
Universal Warmup done,
40 Side Leg Raises (EotD) done,
Factory Reset done (3 sets, couldn't face the WotD today),
Day 23 of Total Body done (3 sets, didn't really have the space to do Windshield Wipers properly, but I tried),
Day 23 of Epic Cardio done,
Days 13 and 14 of 10,000 Punches done (So much Punching!
),
Days 13 and 14 of 1000 Calf Raises done,
Sore Feet done.
So yeah, the Housemate is home, it's nice but like I said not too sure it's a good idea:-
Letting her recuperate at home sounds good, but it means I'm effectively trying to look after someone who should be in hospital. I'm running on about two hours of sleep because she kept calling out for help all night and I'm having no better luck getting her to look after herself than they were.
Plus the "Care" package they put together for her is a bit of a joke. Unless I want the carers very limited help at the precise minute they randomly show up, that's it until they show up again however many hours later, so I'm just doing everything myself anyways.
See y'all tomorrow!

Everything sucks at the moment:-
Unfortunately I was right about the Housemate, they had sent her home too early.
Had a really bad delirium attack yesterday, wouldn't let anyone examine her to see if the kidney infection had returned too, so she had to be dragged kicking and screaming into an ambulance to be taken back to hospital.
At least we gave the neighbours something to talk about.
Plus I seem to have picked up a bug while waiting in the hospital yesterday, I feel absolutely rotten this morning so just some light exercising:-
Universal Warmup done,
Broken and Beautiful (WotD) attempted (2 sets),
Day 15 of 10,000 Punches done,
Day 15 of 1,000 Calf Raises done,
Stretched done.
Gotta find out what ward the Housemate is in, see how she's doing, see y'all tomorrow!

Thank you! @Laura Rainbow Dragon @Maegaranthelas - Unfortunately, I don't really know where we go from here. She won't get any better in the hospital, but she's clearly not well enough to leave yet.
Still full of cold, thought I'd try some afternoon exercising when I have a bit more oomph, but I was still too congested to do much, although I did do extra Punching and Calf Raises, so maybe I could've done a full workout after all, we'll see tomorrow:-
Universal Warmup done,
Broken and Beautiful done (3 sets, I enjoyed this one yesterday so thought I'd do it again),
Day 16 of 10,000 Punches done (I did 3 lots of 100, instead of just the 100),
Day 16 of 1000 Calf Raises done (Did an extra 20 Raises on top of each Hold),
Sore Feet done.
See y'all tomorrow!

Full of cold still, tried doing more today but cardio was a poor choice, didn't do too badly though:-
Universal Warmup done,
30 Squat Hold Calf Raises (EotD) done,
Possum (WotD) done,
Day 24 of Total Body attempted (2 sets, you'd think Seal Jacks would be easier than normal ones because you're not lifting your arms above your head, but they're not.),
Day 24 of Epic Cardio attempted (3 sets),
Day 17 of 10,000 Punches done,
Day 17 of 1000 Calf Raises done,
Stretched done.
Another week done. Didn't do great on the exercise front, between my cold and all the hectic life stuff, but I did well on cutting back on the snacks, even the two days I barely ate because I was so stressed I didn't touch any snacks.
Plus I found a big bar of chocolate in the fridge, but I could only get through one row before I found it too sickly to eat, which I was really impressed with (Normally it would be three rows minimum).
Some models I pre-ordered ages ago turned up yesterday, so I'm going to have a nice quiet today of putting them together plus leftover Mushroom Stew for dinner, see y'all tomorrow!

Thanks! @MadamMeow - This one really wants to hang around!
Another round of afternoon exercising.
Between my cold and the wintry weather, I just had no energy this morning.
At least I'm open to exercising later in the day now, instead of just skipping it, a big step in the right direction I feel:-
Universal Warmup done,
40 Back Leg Raises (EotD) done,
Cardio Hop (WotD) done (3 sets, this one was fun),
Day 25 of Total Body done (This one wasn't and it looked so easy too!
),
Day 25 of Epic Cardio done,
Day 18 of 10,000 Punches done (Managed this in 2 sets!),
Day 18 of 1000 Calf Raises done,
Ankle Recovery done.
Talked to people at the Hospital again today:-
We're going to try again with the Housemate recuperating at home. The only other option was putting her in a care home, but we all decided that that would probably finish her off.
But, if the delirium does flare up again, that will be where she ends up.
Going to go make myself some Chicken and Apple Casserole for dinner, take my mind off sad thoughts, see y'all tomorrow!

Yay! Morning exercises! 
Still got that cold, but doesn't seem as bad:-
Universal Warmup done,
50 Single Leg Hops (EotD) done (Finally got over my mental block with these
),
Upperbody Mobility (WotD) done,
Day 26 of Total Body attempted (2 and a bit sets.
I was never getting 28 Side Bridges done never mind 5 sets of them! Did what I could but my arms were too noodlely to finish that third set and I needed them for punching),
Day 26 of Epic Cardio attempted (3 sets. Noodlely arms couldn't hold me up to do any more Climbers),
Day 19 of 10,000 Punches done,
Day 19 of 1000 Calf Raises done,
Stretched done.
Gotta venture out into the rain later, check on the Housemate and do some shopping, see y'all tomorrow!

Struggled with my exercises, just too danged cold this morning! 
Universal Warmup done,
40 High Knees (EotD) done,
Journeyman (WotD) attempted (2 sets),
Day 27 of Total Body attempted (2 sets),
Day 27 of Epic Cardio done,
Day 20 of 10,000 Punches done,
Day 20 of 1000 Calf Raises done,
Sore Feet done.
Hopefully I'll do better tomorrow, but I think I'll have a lack of enthusiasm until I get the heating fixed!
Housemate isn't doing too great at the moment:-
She's completely fixated on coming home, it's all she'll talk about, and if you change the subject or try and explain why she's got a wait a few more days, she'll just shut down or get very angry.
The hope is, once she is home she'll settle down and start to get better, but I'm just not optimistic.
Trying a spin on Kedgeree for dinner, I'm really looking forward to hot, buttered, curried rice right now, see y'all tomorrow!

I apologise in advance, but my brain will forever link that word to Tragedy by the BeeGees.
"Kedgeree! It's a rice-based dish that's made with fish, it's kedgeree!"
This may now live in your brain forever as well
Hugs for all the housemate stress
