Two lines a day
Dillyorganised energy 4
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. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad…
The list on the fridge
Gavinsteady energy 1
A quiet week. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and…
Awake at four
Gwenrested energy 5
This 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. Waking at four again. Not…
Steady
Olliefine energy 4
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Nothing to report. Writing it down…
Steady
Sadieflat energy 3
Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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.…
She stopped the room
Salmawarm energy 5turning point
Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Joined the recovery-aware circle and found the rules a…
The question I had been avoiding
Lenabrisk energy 5
Recording this for the record. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Left…
An unremarkable week
Katefine energy 1
Right. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that…
The limits of yoghurt
Bexsteady energy 1
Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Got something with protein in before nine this…
Steady
Duncanfine energy 3
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 dog is…
Awake at four
Gwynethtired energy 5
This week: The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just…
A wedding
Keeleyloved energy 1
Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I…
A wedding
Odileloved energy 2
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. My mother cooks. That is how she…
An unremarkable week
Peggyfine energy 3
Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of…
A new bin and a plan
Saraorganised energy 3
A gentle week, mostly. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four months.…
Where the pen lives
Soniaorganised energy 3
A gentle week, mostly. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the…
Day one
Tarnwired 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. The pharmacist talked me through it very…
An unremarkable week
Noahsteady energy 3
Right. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I…
Back without making it up
Ambrosetired but good energy 1turning point
Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Started resistance work at sixty-six,…
I wanted to stop
Annikastubborn energy 2turning point
Second plateau, and it is easier than the first, mostly because I have been here and come out the other side without doing anything clever. Month four, nothing at…
A locum
Brodybrisk energy 4
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 read nothing. I was…
Two flights of stairs
Colgrateful energy 2
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 feet and my knees…
An unremarkable week
Flossiefine energy 2
Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of…
Standing in the kitchen
Gillyhopeful energy 4turning point
Well then. I told one person. Not my mother, not work. One person, and only because she asked me a direct question at the right moment. A first entry about hypocrisy.…
