A new bin and a plan
Ruthieorganised energy 4
A brief account of the week. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Two lines a…
Quiet
Saraflat energy 5turning point
Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…
Three cool bags and a thermometer
Tamorganised energy 1
Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually…
An unremarkable week
Theaflat energy 4
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 thing. Quiet. Injection…
A rough few days
Wystansore energy 2
A gentle week, mostly. 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 me to…
Two lengths, badly
Annagrateful energy 5
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. Sat on the floor and played for an…
Sunday night, four lines
Poppyheld energy 3
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 way round. That is the…
Somebody new
Rohanwarm energy 4
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 were talking at…
Steady
Ariafine energy 3
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 other people's…
Sunday lunch
Boawkward energy 1
Short one tonight. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what…
She stopped the room

Sunday night, four lines
Gigiheld energy 5
Evening. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. My buddy noticed something in my…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Rayheld energy 1
Right. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it…
Flat, whole night
Heddagrateful energy 2
Notes for the week. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I…
Slept through
Hollyfoggy energy 1
Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the…
The question I had been avoiding
Kezfrustrated energy 2
Quickly, before bed. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. She reduced one…
Steady
Larksteady energy 2
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 this week…

Two lengths, badly
Maritpleased energy 3
Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Bike tomorrow.

Come back in a year
Ravipleased energy 1turning point
Recording this for the record. Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once heard applied to me. A1c down for the first time in four years.…
Nothing
Samfrayed energy 2
Notes for the week. Three months of no change and my blood pressure has come down anyway. Two things can be true at once and I keep having to relearn that. Ada said…
Unpleasant, not dangerous
Rowansore energy 2turning point
Headache for three days running. It turned out I had barely drunk anything since Tuesday. Water, then a slow improvement, then feeling faintly stupid. A bad fortnight…
