I nearly did not write
Flossieflat energy 2
Evening. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken…
No mask
Gillyfoggy energy 4
Well then. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the morning trying to work out what was different. Repeat study came back…
What is your secret
Hattieawkward energy 3
Short one tonight. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can,…
Circle tonight
Heddawarm energy 5
Notes for the week. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Went for the practical answers and…
Nothing to report
Hollysteady energy 3
A quiet week. 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.…
Nine minutes
Keeleybrisk energy 3
A quiet week. 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. She reduced one of my other…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Luheld energy 4
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has…
Two flights of stairs
Moraygrateful energy 2
Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Walked into town and…

Nedflat energy 4
Short one tonight. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Aye.
A different shape
Patrickrested energy 2
Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I…
An unremarkable week

Two flights of stairs
Posypleased energy 3
Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Garden calls.
Two landed like five
Rafeclear energy 1turning point
Two drinks landed like five. I stopped after one and have done ever since, not from virtue, just from arithmetic. Wine stopped appealing and it changed his work life.…
Stayed for the company
Rillawarm 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.…
Two lines a day
Sorrelorganised energy 1
This week: 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. Anchored injection day to my…
What is your secret
Wystanawkward energy 1
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. A wedding. Three…
No news
Annaflat energy 2
A brief account of the week. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild…
The bad fortnight
Clemmierough energy 4turning point
Constipation, which I have avoided writing about for six weeks out of pure squeamishness. It is the thing making me most miserable and I have said nothing about it to…
Starters as a main
Gwenwarm energy 2
This week: 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. A wedding.…
Circle tonight
Gwendawarm energy 5
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. The facilitator stopped the room…
The list on the fridge
Larksteady energy 4
Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked…
Before nine
Pamsteady energy 4
A brief account of the 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…
Sunday night, four lines
Winnieheld energy 4
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 will be…
