This week: Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once heard applied to me. A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang…
A locum

My mother cooks
Héloïseloved energy 2
A brief account of the week. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly, and I say thank you, and we manage. It is not a problem to be…
What is your secret

Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was…
Nothing to report

Three things this week. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my medication on the correct day for the eleventh week running. Quiet.…
A different shape
Nadiatired energy 2

Starters as a main
Norahwarm energy 3
Right. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who noticed, and a very kind waiter who boxed it up without saying a word. My mother cooks. That…
She stopped the room
Odilewarm energy 5
A brief account of the week. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It changed the…
An unremarkable week
Olliesteady energy 3

Back without making it up

No mask

She read the diary

Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. She reduced one of my other medications. I…
Before nine

Six labelled boxes

Three things this week. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. New sharps bin, and a plan for…
Grip

Sitting down to this properly tonight. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the…

The limits of yoghurt
Hannahsteady energy 5

Lusteady energy 4
Ten minutes then I am asleep. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I thought about how much I have got out of other people's boring…
Laces
Marthaquietly delighted energy 4
A brief account of the week. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since 2021 and I did it…
Quiet
Patrickfine energy 2
Late, and writing anyway. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept…
