Slept through
Nixrested energy 2
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. The…
Steady
Patrickflat energy 1
Short one tonight. 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 out of…
Anchored to the shifts
Saoirseorganised energy 3
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…
Two lengths, badly

Sitting down to this properly tonight. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Walked Leckhampton Hill at dawn. Sat…
Starters as a main
Belloved energy 4
Short one tonight. 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. Sunday…
Unremarkable
Ikerelieved energy 1turning point
This week: A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. A1c down. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference…
No news
Nualasteady energy 1
Right. 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. Nothing to report.…
Iron and B12
Pruerelieved energy 5turning point
Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once heard applied to me. Stable. Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a…
Starters as a main
Vivloved energy 5
Right. 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…
Awake at four
Rohanfoggy energy 1
Recording this for the record. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been…
A new bin and a plan
Ashorganised energy 5
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. Tested three cool bags…
A1c down
Ephraimrelieved energy 1turning point
Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at. A1c down. Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said,…
Not a number

Wrote it in the milestones page as well, which I would have found embarrassing a year ago. Munro. First in nine years. The entry is mostly about the weather. Not a…
Paired
Rayheld energy 3
My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be…
Anchored to the shifts
Juniperorganised energy 5
Right. 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. New sharps bin, and a plan for…

Come back in a year

Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a come-back-in-a-year before. A1c down. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a…
Three cool bags and a thermometer
Ossianorganised energy 4
A quiet week. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Tested three cool bags against a…
Two lengths, badly

This week: Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Carried feed bags without her back going. Slept flat. Whole…

Steady
Cloversteady energy 4
Evening. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday,…
She stopped the room
Minniewarm energy 2
This week: Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were…
Awake at four
Winnierested energy 1
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. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort…
What is your secret
