Starters as a main
Keeleyawkward energy 1
A quiet week. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working…
She stopped the room
Minniewarm energy 3
This 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 were…
Three cool bags and a thermometer
Nolanpleased energy 3turning point
Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Winter deliveries at minus twenty. Two lines a day in a…
She noticed first
Nualaheld energy 5
Right. 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…
Off the floor
Rafepleased energy 3
A brief account of the week. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Got down on the…
Three years side by side
Ruthiepleased energy 5turning point
A brief account of the week. Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at. A1c down, and she…
Dreams
Taviatired energy 2
Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the…
An unremarkable week
Tullafine energy 1
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.…
Sunday lunch
Rowanloved energy 5
Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working…
No mask
Bayfoggy energy 1
A gentle week, mostly. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Vivid dreams, every night, the…
Steady
Bertiefine energy 5
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…
Nine minutes
Blyheard energy 4turning point
A quiet week. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. A GP who got it right,…
Sunday night, four lines
Bunnyheld energy 2
Evening. 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…
Across the day
Carlsteady energy 1
This week: I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written them on the fridge. That list is the most useful thing I own. Greek…
I have started
Catohopeful energy 2
This week: What I keep coming back to is how long it took me to get here. Not the medication — the asking. Years of that. The pharmacist talked me through it very…
My mother cooks
Dotwarm 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…
No news
Flossiefine energy 5
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 mask
Harrirested energy 5
Recording this for the record. 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…
She stopped the room
Luwarm energy 2
Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it land. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an…
My mother cooks
Morayloved energy 3
Right. 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…
The bad fortnight
Stefanrough energy 3turning point
Recording this for the record. 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. A…
My mother cooks
Annawarm energy 4
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. Somebody asked what my secret…
Off the floor
Brunoquietly delighted energy 2
Evening. 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 down. Got down on the…
No news
Duncanflat energy 5
Week in order: 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.…
