Unremarkable
Gusrelieved energy 1
A gentle week, mostly. A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which…

Week in order: 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 got out of…
Stayed for the company

Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in…
Sunday lunch
Sonialoved energy 2
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 of people…

Nine minutes
Tullabrisk energy 3
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. Left with a printout I could not read and no…
Stayed for the company
Raywarm energy 3

A printout I cannot read

A printout I cannot read

Laces
Luquietly delighted energy 1
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it…
Nothing to report
Raviflat energy 3

Quickly, before bed. 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. Starters…
No mask
Bexfoggy energy 5
Ten minutes then I am asleep. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Vivid dreams, every…
Somebody new
Brunowarm energy 1
Evening. 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. Somebody…
Sunday lunch
Ephraimwarm energy 5
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. Sunday lunch at my…
