📅 Daily Check-in - September 6, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Today, I did something that I thought I would never do. When Hospice phoned, I usually get Mum and we do it together on speakerphone. Mum was busy with Dad in the bathroom and when I checked that the coast was clear, I said to the nurse that I was going to be brutally honest on where I see things sitting at the moment. I'm so glad I did. The nurse arranged to come around in the afternoon to look at Dad, just to get eyes on him and see for herself how he was going. I did say that Dad was the sort of person that rated the pain as "not too bad" when he broke his hip and the medical personnel dropped him 3 times before getting him into hospital (bear in mind this all happened at a specialist hospital eye clinic). So the nurse understood what I was saying, saw Dad and chatted with us. His medication is being changed again - we're trying anti anxiety wafers as swallowing is difficult now. If that works, then we can address the pain but we're limited as she agrees with us, if we put a central line in, he'll just rip it out with all his fidgeting and scratching. It was a long night last night but we got through it. Today is a new day. Let's see what happens today. Happy Sunday everyone and to all the fathers out there - Happy Fathers' Day!" 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 4/10 ⚡ Energy: 4/10 🎯 Focus: 4/10 😌 Calmness: 4/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 4/10 🔥 Motivation: 4/10 ⭐ Average: 4/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🥗 Healthy Eating 🍺 No Alcohol 🥩 Hit Protein Goal 🥦 Ate Vegetables 🍳 Home Cooked Meal 🎯 Deep Work 👥 Quality Time 🤝 Helped Someone 🍽️ No Phone at Dinner 👂 Active Listening

I was able to check out one of them online, so that saved a phone call. The other was what I anticipated, however, the rep gave me instructions on how to request what I was looking for through a claim request, and told me what to click to get it into the right area. So, I've accomplished two things today and it feels great. And, I completed them both before starting day 5 questions for the full assessment.

📅 Daily Check-in - September 4, 2026 💭 Reflection: "I haven't checked in for a few days because it was my best friend/neighbour's special birthday. It was a milestone birthday, and out of respect for her, I will not mention how old she is because if she ever found out I had announced it to the world, she would never forgive me. 🤪 So I spent basically two days cooking up a Chinese dinner and special cake for her. Lots of prep work, but it was worth it. I gained a couple of pounds, but I won't sweat it; I'm back on track now. Have a good one, everybody." 😊 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 7/10 ⚡ Energy: 7/10 🎯 Focus: 7/10 😌 Calmness: 7/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 8/10 🔥 Motivation: 7/10 ⭐ Average: 7.2/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 🚿 Cold Shower 🛏️ Good Sleep ☀️ Morning Sunlight 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🌬️ Breathwork 🚴 Cycling 🥗 Healthy Eating 🍺 No Alcohol ☕ No Late Caffeine 💊 Took Supplements 🥩 Hit Protein Goal 🥦 Ate Vegetables 🧘‍♂️ Meditation 🙏 Prayer 💚 Gratitude Practice 💭 Affirmations 🎯 Visualization ✨ Positive Mindset 🎯 Deep Work 🌅 Focused Morning 1️⃣ Single Tasking 📅 No Meetings 📚 Reading 🧠 Learning 🎓 Online Course 🎉 Social Event

📅 Daily Check-in - September 5, 2026 💭 Reflection: "I have fallen out of my sleep protocol. I'm getting a lot of sleep, and it's good, but I started reading in bed before sleep, which brings me past my 10 pm bedtime. I don't fall asleep until midnight, sometimes later. Then I sleep until 10-11 am, which screws up my morning routine. I feel like I'm wasting my day because I start it late. It's great that I'm incorporating reading, but it's affecting my daily schedule, and it screws up my days. I really need to change my reading time and get my sleeping schedule back. Some reflextion is required, going to talk to AI Sage and see what is recommended. Have a great day, everyone!" 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 7/10 ⚡ Energy: 7/10 🎯 Focus: 7/10 😌 Calmness: 7/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 8/10 🔥 Motivation: 7/10 ⭐ Average: 7.2/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 🛏️ Good Sleep ☀️ Morning Sunlight 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🌬️ Breathwork 🚴 Cycling 🥗 Healthy Eating 🍺 No Alcohol 🍬 No Added Sugar ☕ No Late Caffeine 💊 Took Supplements 🥩 Hit Protein Goal 🧘‍♂️ Meditation 🙏 Prayer 📝 Journaling 💚 Gratitude Practice 💭 Affirmations 🎯 Visualization ✨ Positive Mindset 🎯 Deep Work 🌅 Focused Morning 1️⃣ Single Tasking 📅 No Meetings 📚 Reading 🧠 Learning 🎓 Online Course 📞 Called Friend/Family

📅 Daily Check-in - September 4, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Just when I thought this journey couldn't get any tougher. Yesterday Mum & I had to make a heart wrenching decision. The decision was to pull all of Dad's heart meds. He was going to die through one of four possibilities: the rectal cancer with its secondaries, heart failure, COPD, and his circulation shutting off (arterial flow to his legs was very poor). What was the kindest way for him to die? IT certainly wasn't the rectal cancer and it's secondaries; we've seen evidence to that. The doctor said he could go at any time now and that we should spend as much time as possible with him. We haven't even told my siblings or the wider whanau (family) about this. We're just quietly absorbing it all in for the moment. At first when the Hospice Doctor hinted at this option, it threw me off track and my heart stopped for a beat. That was the last thing I was expecting - discussions around pain management yes, discussions around how he should die no. Once the initial shock passed, the observer that has grown in me, looked at Dad staring into space trying to hide the pain from Hospice and then at Mum, slowly wasting away with sheer exhaustion. I realised that agreeing to removing the heart meds was probably kindest on Dad and ultimately on Mum too especially as he's struggling to swallow the tablets now. So why does this feel so heavy? I've been preparing for this moment (well not quite this path) for a while now, since his diagnosis in February this year. Deep down this heavy feeling is because I feel as though I have issued the death warrant. I don't even think he's aware of what we've done - that's probably the hardest part to take in. So for now, we just take it day by day, waiting for the end to come." 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 3/10 ⚡ Energy: 4/10 🎯 Focus: 4/10 😌 Calmness: 3/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 4/10 🔥 Motivation: 4/10 ⭐ Average: 3.7/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🥗 Healthy Eating 🍺 No Alcohol
