My mother cooks
Theawarm energy 1
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 is how…
Before nine
Vivsteady energy 1
Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only…
My mother cooks
Minaloved energy 2turning point
Short one tonight. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. A long entry about Portuguese family meals and how she…
A printout I cannot read
Ephraimheard energy 4
A brief account of 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. Took the diary…
Fewer, heavier
Saratired but good energy 2
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…
A1c down
Ammipleased energy 5turning point
A quiet week. Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a come-back-in-a-year before. A1c down substantially. Bloods back. Unremarkable, she…
Back without making it up
Bodhitired but good energy 5
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Eight…
Paired
Callaheld energy 5
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 ever asked me how I was doing…
No mask
Cloverfoggy 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.…
Two flights of stairs
Dotpleased energy 4turning point
Well then. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Walked the coast path to Maenporth. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago…
Both bags, one go
Gigipleased energy 1turning point
Evening. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Walked up the Vomero steps. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat.…
Circle tonight
Inêssteadied energy 1turning point
A quiet week. 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. Slow titrators, where…
Slept through
Maplefoggy energy 3
Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. The…
A1c down
Moraypleased energy 5turning point
Right. Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at. Liver enzymes normal. Bloods back.…
Awake at four
Patrickrested energy 4
Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I…
She reduced it
Petuabrisk energy 1
Late, and writing anyway. 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. Asked the question…
An hour on the floor
Sadiegrateful energy 2turning point
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. Cycled to Chorlton and back without…
Quiet
Stefanfine energy 2
Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most…
Steady
Birdiesteady energy 5
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 not write this week…
The question I had been avoiding
Catoheard energy 5
Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Left with a printout I could not read…
Quiet
Dotsteady energy 4
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…
Two lengths, badly
Ronanquietly delighted energy 1turning point
This week: Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Played touch rugby for the first time in nine years. Carried both bags up…
Two flights of stairs
Taviagrateful energy 3
Evening. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I started, and I have now done it. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Tied…
I nearly did not write
Zoëfine energy 2
Quickly, before bed. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing…
