Walking
Beltired but good energy 4
Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back…
An unremarkable week
Bexfine energy 2
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. An unremarkable week.…
Where the pen lives
Sorayaorganised energy 2
Late, and writing anyway. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four…
Across the day
Tobiassteady energy 5
Notes for 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 own…
Eight minutes and a chair
Izzytired but good energy 5
Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two…
My mother cooks
Nettiewarm energy 2
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 people…
Eight minutes and a chair

This week: Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two…
The limits of yoghurt
Beasteady energy 2
Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question…
A1c down
Bertierelieved energy 4turning point
Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a come-back-in-a-year before. A1c down. Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had…
She noticed first
Bridieheld energy 2
This week: She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the whole mechanism. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights,…
Sunday lunch
Jontyloved energy 3
A brief account of the week. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of…
Grip
Junipertired but good energy 4
Right. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in March, and he is…
Starters as a main
Lilloved energy 4
Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon,…
No mask
Ozzyfoggy energy 4
Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other people…
An unremarkable week
Petuaflat energy 5
Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Tedheld energy 4
Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. She had a bad week and I had a fine one,…
Three years side by side
Tinukepleased energy 4
Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at. Everything stable. She said come back in a…
An unremarkable week
Yannicksteady energy 1
An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it.…
A printout I cannot read
Ambrosefrustrated energy 1turning point
Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Blood pressure medication reduced. Asked the…
Paired
Bodhiheld energy 4
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 asked me how I was doing…
Six labelled boxes
Callaorganised energy 4
Late, and writing anyway. 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…
Nothing to report
Cassfine energy 3
Recording this for the record. 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.…
Protein first
Ephraimsteady energy 2
Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have…
Starters as a main
Obiwarm energy 2
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…
