The arithmetic
Zoëpinched energy 3turning point
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Pausing for two months. Not a failure, not a moral event, just a month where the money is not there. Worked out the arithmetic in public…
She reduced it
Cloverfrustrated energy 3
Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was…
Iron and B12
Gusrelieved energy 1
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 is a word I had never…
The limits of yoghurt
Hattiesteady energy 1
Short one tonight. 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…
Six labelled boxes
Heddaorganised energy 1
Recording this for the record. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That is the entire system and it has twice changed a clinical decision. Batch…
She noticed first
Keeleyheld energy 3
Late, and writing anyway. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. Nobody has ever…
An hour on the floor
Kezquietly delighted energy 3
Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an…
Walking
Liltired but good energy 3
Evening. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Came back after a bad fortnight…

Quiet
Mofine energy 4
Three things this week. 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 weeks.…
Steady
Ozzyflat energy 4
Right. 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. I nearly did not write…
Sunday night, four lines
Peggyheld energy 5
My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before.…
Three years side by side
Ravirelieved energy 3
Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once heard applied to me. Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is…
Steady
Saoirsesteady energy 5
A gentle week, mostly. 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.…
Starters as a main
Bealoved energy 5
A quiet week. 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. Sunday lunch at…
Nothing to report
Bunnyflat energy 3
An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken…
A plain question
Catosteady energy 3
Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had actually eaten in the last two days and I heard my own answer. Got something with…
She stopped the room
Gilwarm energy 5
Notes for the week. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us…
The out-of-hours call
Harlanshaken energy 4
Recording this for the record. Dizzy standing up, twice, badly enough that I sat down on the pavement. It was dehydration. I had not understood that you can get to…
Protein first

This week: Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had actually eaten in the last two days and I heard my own answer. Got…
An unremarkable week
Larkflat energy 4
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…
No news
Linnetflat energy 2
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful…

Lufine energy 5
Quickly, before bed. Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a…
No mask
Nixtired energy 1
Notes for the week. 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…
