The question I had been avoiding
Wystanheard energy 5
A gentle week, mostly. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. A locum who…
Flat, whole night
Yannickquietly delighted energy 3
Notes for the week. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing…
Both bags, one go
Bertiequietly delighted energy 3
A brief account of the week. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Carried both bags up in one go. Small…
No news
Flossiesteady energy 5
An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then…
Protein first
Inêssteady energy 3
A quiet week. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the…
Two sessions
Larktired but good energy 3
A gentle week, mostly. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Kept the two sessions…
The volume and the work
Ossianlow energy 5turning point
Late, and writing anyway. Flat rather than sad. I could not find words for it for a fortnight, which meant I did not raise it for a fortnight. A hard winter and a…
Six labelled boxes
Solomonorganised energy 5
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. Two lines a day in a paper diary.…
Protein first
Sorayasteady energy 4
A quiet week. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Spread it across the day instead…
The limits of yoghurt

Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Got something with protein in before nine this…
She reduced it
Tullaheard energy 5
This week: She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what…
An unremarkable week
Vivfine energy 3
Well then. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory…
An hour on the floor
Wilfpleased energy 5turning point
Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Dug the whole plot over in a weekend, aged seventy-two. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how…
Both bags, one go
Lenapleased energy 3turning point
Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an idiot. Nobody saw. It counted. Squat back to her previous best at…
Stayed for the company
Abelwarm energy 3
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 whole hour. Went for the…
Back down a step
Bodhiwary energy 3
A gentle week, mostly. Third day after the change is always the worst and I have finally stopped being surprised by it. Knowing it is coming does not make it…
Sunday night, four lines
Colheld energy 3
Quickly, before bed. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the whole mechanism. My buddy noticed something…
Sunday night, four lines
Fenheld energy 2
This week: My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines…
Somebody new
Gavinwarm energy 4
Short one tonight. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it land. The facilitator…
Iron and B12
Gwendarelieved energy 2
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 printout I cannot read
Héloïsebrisk energy 5
A brief account of the week. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Nine…
Slept through
Motired energy 4
Week in order: Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off.…
She stopped the room
Moraywarm energy 3
Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it land. Went for the practical answers and…
Slept through
Ottolinerested energy 1
Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other people in circle have the same and none of us can find anything written about it.…
