Nine minutes
Taviafrustrated energy 5
Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three…
Two lines a day
Annaorganised energy 5
Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Minaheld energy 4
Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it.…
Paired
Ambroseheld energy 5
A brief account of the week. 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…
Laces
Birdiequietly delighted energy 2
Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an idiot. Nobody saw. It counted. Got down on the floor and back up…
Six labelled boxes
Boorganised energy 3
Late, and writing anyway. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. New sharps…
The list on the fridge
Clemmiesteady energy 1
A gentle week, mostly. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Got something with…
Back without making it up
Doratired but good energy 4
Week in order: Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Walked instead of the bus all…
Protein first
Florriesteady energy 4
Evening. 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. Was undereating…
A printout I cannot read
Heddaheard energy 2
Notes for the week. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. A locum who had clearly…
A wedding
Héloïsewarm energy 3
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. Somebody asked what my…
Circle tonight
Nanwarm energy 4
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.…
An unremarkable week
Nedfine energy 3
Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Aye.
A wedding
Norahwarm energy 2
Right. 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…
Stayed for the company
Raviwarm energy 4
Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of…
Dreams
Ruthietired energy 4
The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so…
Across the day
Mattsteady energy 5
This 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 answer. Protein…
An unremarkable week
Noahfine energy 4
Well then. 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. Nothing to…
Two flights of stairs
Poppyquietly delighted energy 4
Quickly, before bed. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been…
Quiet
Bertiesteady energy 5
A brief account of the 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…
Across the day
Carlsteady energy 4
This week: Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. I have found five things I can get…
A different shape
Dillytired energy 5
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 anything written about it.…
Starters as a main
Gigiawkward energy 2
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…
Beginning, badly
Gilwired energy 2
Recording this for the record. Day one. I am writing this partly because somebody else's day-one entry is the reason I felt able to do it at all, and it seems only…
