I nearly did not write
Tildasteady energy 3
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. Nothing to report. Writing it…
Steady
Espefine energy 4
Evening. 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. Injection…
She read the diary
Raybrisk energy 2
Right. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. She reduced one of my other…
Across the day
Harristeady energy 3
Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have…
Eight minutes and a chair
Ozzytired but good energy 3
Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps…
Stayed for the company
Pippawarm energy 1turning point
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. Long-covid circle, though hers is…
An unremarkable week
Raviflat energy 4
Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the…
Paired
Romyheld energy 4
Late, and writing anyway. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other…
Come back in a year
Tedrelieved energy 5
A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a…
Nine minutes
Vivbrisk energy 1
Right. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her…
My mother cooks
Poppywarm energy 3
Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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.…
The limits of yoghurt
Ashsteady energy 4
Right. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written…
Awake at four
Cloverrested energy 3
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.…
A new bin and a plan
Keeleyorganised energy 3
Short one tonight. 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.…
Awake at four
Marktired energy 1
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying…
Quiet
Marnieflat energy 2
Short one tonight. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of the whole…
What is your secret
Morayawkward energy 2
Well then. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table…
Eight minutes and a chair
Nantired but good energy 1
Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that…
Day one
Petuanervous energy 2turning point
Late, and writing anyway. What I keep coming back to is how long it took me to get here. Not the medication — the asking. Years of that. A quiet start after a long…
Come back in a year
Solomonrelieved energy 1
Week in order: Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a come-back-in-a-year before. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a…
Two lines a day
Tobyorganised energy 3
Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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…
Slept through
Tullatired energy 5
Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the morning trying to work out what was different. Repeat study came back and the…
Six labelled boxes
Noahorganised energy 5
Right. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather…
Two sessions
Rohantired but good energy 5turning point
Notes for the week. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Dropped a session a week…
