The bad fortnight

This week:

Sore at the injection site for about ten days, a small firm lump under the skin. The pharmacist looked at it, was unbothered, and told me to move further round next time.

A bad fortnight in heavy weather.

The nausea has a shape to it now. Thursday teatime it starts, Friday it peaks, Saturday afternoon it lifts. Once I could see the pattern it stopped feeling like something happening to me at random.

Very tired. Not the kind of tired a nap fixes. I slept nine hours and woke feeling as though I had been awake all night.

Out at four.

Sitting with you on this one. Nothing to add.

I did the same thing with the box, for six weeks, in a two-bedroom flat. We are ridiculous and we are fine.

Thank you for saying the hard part out loud. It makes it easier for the rest of us to.

Reading this at half past six with a cup of tea and nodding at every line. Thank you for writing it down.
