Quiet
Wilfflat energy 2
This week: 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. No news. The…
Somebody new
Minawarm 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. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an…
A new bin and a plan
Bayorganised energy 1
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about…
No mask
Bearested energy 3
Short one tonight. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not…
No news
Belfine energy 1
Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Better tomorrow, probably.
What is your secret
Bertiewarm energy 4
A brief account of the week. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Starters as a main course,…
What is your secret
Birdieloved energy 4
Evening. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who…
Steady
Blysteady 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. I nearly did not write this week…
Protein first
Colsteady energy 1
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Greek yoghurt,…
A printout I cannot read
Freyabrisk energy 1
Quickly, before bed. 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…
A printout I cannot read
Gusbrisk energy 5
Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. She reduced one of my other…
Anchored to the shifts
Ivesorganised energy 2
New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That is the entire system and it…
Somebody new

Well then. 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…

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…
An unremarkable week
Soniafine energy 4
A gentle week, mostly. 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…
A locum
Tullaheard energy 3
This week: Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. She reduced one of my other…
The list on the fridge
Rohanpractical energy 5
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. Protein first,…
Sore and slow
Bridiesore energy 1turning point
This week: 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 it stopped feeling…
I have started
Brunowired energy 3
I told one person. Not my mother, not work. One person, and only because she asked me a direct question at the right moment. So. First one done. I had been carrying…
Nine minutes
Clemmiefrustrated energy 3
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered.…
An unremarkable week
Duncanfine energy 4
Three things this week. 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…
Where the pen lives
Ephraimorganised energy 4
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 the freezer and a great…
Across the day
Harristeady energy 3
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. Spread it across the day…
