My mother cooks
Cassloved energy 1
Notes for the 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. My mother…
Protein first
Fensteady energy 2
Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Spread it across the day instead of trying to…
Eight minutes and a chair
Gavinsteady energy 3
Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that used to end it for me every time. Eight minutes and a chair. That…
Anchored to the shifts
Juniperpleased energy 4turning point
Well then. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Solar fridge, documented…
Quiet
Nettiefine energy 3
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. Quiet. Injection…
Dreams
Nolanfoggy energy 3
The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so…

Norahawkward energy 1
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. My mother cooks. That is how…
Protein first
Ozzysteady energy 2
Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I…
The limits of yoghurt
Sadiesteady energy 2
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. I have found five…
A locum
Solomonheard 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. A locum who had clearly read…
The pattern of it
Theasore energy 2turning point
A brief account of the week. The burping. Nobody mentions the burping. It is not in any leaflet and it is genuinely one of the odder experiences of my adult life.…
Before nine
Tildasteady energy 4turning point
Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Tested six protein sources for tolerability and published a table. I…
She stopped the room
Alekswarm energy 5
Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring.…
I nearly did not write
Ambroseflat energy 5
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. Steady. That is the whole entry.…
A new bin and a plan
Ashwinorganised energy 1
Three things this week. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in…
Steady
Beafine energy 1
Short one tonight. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Steady. That is the whole entry. No news. The dog…
Steady
Cloverflat energy 5
Evening. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday,…
A locum
Esmefrustrated energy 4
Evening. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Nine minutes. I took three written…
Sore and slow
Freyasore energy 1
Ten minutes then I am asleep. The nausea has a shape to it now. Thursday teatime it starts, Friday it peaks, Saturday afternoon it lifts. Once I could see the pattern…
An unremarkable week
Gusflat 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. An…
What is your secret
Harlanawkward energy 3
Notes for the week. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation…
Nothing to report
Ivesflat energy 3
This week: 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…
Sore and slow
Junosore energy 1turning point
A rough few days. Not dangerous, just relentlessly unpleasant, the kind of unwell where you cannot read and cannot sleep and cannot settle to anything. Nausea that…
An unremarkable week
Kaiflat energy 2
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. Steady. That is…
