I nearly did not write
Rowanflat energy 3
This week: 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…
The list on the fridge

Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. I have found five things I can get down when…
A wedding
Ammiwarm energy 4
Short one tonight. 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…
Three years side by side
Bridiepleased energy 1
This week: A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have…
Starters as a main
Cassawkward 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…
Where the pen lives
Duncanorganised energy 3turning point
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. Wrote the storage and…
Awake at four
Linnetfoggy energy 5
A gentle week, mostly. 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…
Nothing to report

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. No news. The dog…
Six labelled boxes
Ronanorganised energy 3
This week: Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and…

Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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…
No news
Tedflat energy 3
This week: An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by…

Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made…
Dreams
Rohantired energy 4
Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the…

Steady
Huwfine energy 4
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 other people's…

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…
A printout I cannot read
Maeveheard energy 3
Well then. 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. Took the diary in. She read it…
Laces
Pruepleased energy 2
Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a…
A printout I cannot read
Romyfrustrated energy 2
A quiet week. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Asked the question I had been…
Dreams
Baytired energy 4
Sitting down to this properly tonight. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Vivid dreams,…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Espeheld energy 2
Evening. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday…
Dreams
Marktired energy 4
Quickly, before bed. 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…
Somebody new
Ossianwarm energy 3
Late, and writing anyway. 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 whole…
Nine minutes
Posyfrustrated energy 4
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…
