  • An unremarkable week

    Ossian21 Feb 2025fine energy 4

    Short one tonight. 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…

  • Steady

    A brief account of the week. Steady. That is the whole entry. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I thought about how much I have…

  • Nothing to report

    Rilla21 Feb 2025steady energy 1

    Quick one. Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Chopper Tuesday.

  • I have started

  • She read the diary

    Wystan21 Feb 2025brisk energy 5

    A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what I needed, and I have booked with my own GP for next month. Asked the question I had been avoiding for…

  • Protein first

    Bram20 Feb 2025steady energy 4

    Right. 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 rest of…

  • Sunday lunch

    Bruno20 Feb 2025loved energy 5turning point

    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 solved. A long entry about Sunday…

  • A plain question

    Dora20 Feb 2025practical energy 5turning point

    Three things this week. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Rebuilt her whole week…

    Ike20 Feb 2025heard energy 2

    Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. Left with a printout I could not…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Mo20 Feb 2025grateful energy 2

    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. Tied my own laces standing up. I…

  • Back without making it up

    Nadia20 Feb 2025tired but good energy 5

    Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Took the paper diary to a review, which…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Ruthie20 Feb 2025organised energy 2

    Recording this for the record. 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…

  • Dreams

    Bo19 Feb 2025foggy energy 2

  • My mother cooks
