She read the diary
Junobrisk energy 4
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. Left with a printout I could not read and no…
Across the day
Maritpractical energy 3turning point
This week: Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Undereating and cycling twenty kilometres a day. Caught it. I…
Flat, whole night
Rinquietly delighted energy 1
Quickly, before bed. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since 2021 and I did it twice more just to check. Full shift on…
My mother cooks

My sister started too

This week: My son asked why I was not eating my dinner. I gave him a bad answer, thought about it all evening, and gave him a better one on Saturday. Told her…

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 annoyingly…
I nearly did not write
Sadiesteady energy 4
Quickly, before bed. 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…
Six labelled boxes
Tobyorganised energy 1
Quickly, before bed. 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…
No mask
Lenarested energy 4
Notes for the week. 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. The sleep has…
A wedding
Baywarm energy 2

A different shape
Bridierested energy 4
This week: Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay…
She stopped the room
Raywarm energy 2
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 stayed for the…
Steady
Harlansteady energy 2
Notes for the week. 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…

Nine minutes
Maeveheard energy 3
Well then. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite,…
Nine minutes
Nedheard energy 2
Late, and writing anyway. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. Took the…
Where the pen lives

New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Fridge access at work, negotiated. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than…
Two lines a day
Pippaorganised 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…
Stayed for the company
Posywarm energy 2
This week: The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It changed the whole hour. Went for…
I nearly did not write
Ravifine energy 5
Recording this for the record. Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No…
Across the day
Salmasteady energy 2
A gentle week, mostly. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which…

Awake at four
Minafoggy energy 1
Late, and writing anyway. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Slept through. Whole night,…
