Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Out at four.

A gentle week, mostly. 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,…
Eight minutes and a chair

A different shape
Ozzyrested energy 3
Right. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other…
A wedding
Patrickwarm energy 3
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.…

A brief account of the week. 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…
What is your secret

Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly, and…
Back without making it up
Winnietired but good energy 1
Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a…

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…

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.…
Three cool bags and a thermometer
Cloverorganised energy 5
Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to…
Hiding the box

A relative said something at the table that I have been carrying around for a fortnight. A hard month when their mother commented on both of them. My son asked why I…

The list on the fridge
Soniasteady energy 2
I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written them on the fridge. That list is the most useful thing I own. Protein first,…
Into town and back
Taviagrateful energy 2
Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Up the…

Evening. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the whole mechanism. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing…
What is your secret
Arialoved energy 5
Week in order: 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. Sunday lunch at…
Two flights of stairs

Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Rode the Peak District loop. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the…

Across the day
Catosteady energy 5
This week: Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain…

Heddafine energy 3
Recording this for the record. Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Done.
Anchored to the shifts
Morayorganised energy 2
Right. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. New sharps bin, and a plan for…
