The list on the fridge
Maevesteady energy 5
Well then. 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 wedding
Mossawkward energy 1
Sitting down to this properly 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…
Weather, not a verdict
Ollielow energy 3turning 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. Flat, and he barely…
Somebody new
Pamwarm energy 3
A brief account of the 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…
A plain question
Romysteady energy 4
Late, and writing anyway. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I…
Starters as a main
Saoirseloved energy 4
Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people…

Tansysteady energy 3
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…

Circle tonight
Belwarm energy 2
Late, and writing anyway. 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. Went for…
Grip
Nelltired but good energy 5
A quiet week. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that used to end it for me every time. Walked instead of…
A new bin and a plan
Héloïseorganised 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…
Nothing to report
Huwfine energy 5
This week: 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 thing.…
Eight minutes and a chair
Nixtired but good energy 1
Notes for the week. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to…

Nolansteady energy 1
This week: Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is…

Posyheld energy 4
Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the…
The limits of yoghurt

Ashwinflat energy 3
Three things this week. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday,…
Nine minutes
Bayheard energy 2
A gentle week, mostly. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea…

Quickly, before bed. 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…
A locum
Dillyfrustrated energy 3
Evening. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. She reduced one of my other…

Gwenheld energy 4
This week: Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the…

Nothing to report
Inêsfine energy 5
Short one tonight. 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…
Back without making it up
