I nearly did not write
Noahflat 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…
Sunday lunch
Abelwarm energy 2
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 working…
I nearly did not write
Ammiflat energy 5

Circle tonight
Annikawarm energy 5
Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in…
Unpleasant, not dangerous
Brunosore energy 2
Evening. The nausea has a shape to it now. Thursday teatime it starts, Friday it peaks, Saturday afternoon it lifts. Once I could see the pattern it stopped feeling…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Freyaheld energy 4
Quickly, before bed. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle…
Three cool bags and a thermometer
Linnetorganised energy 1
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…
Circle tonight

A gentle week, mostly. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Somebody new tonight, terrified,…
Protein first

Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…
My mother cooks
Posyloved energy 3
Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly, and I say thank…
The question I had been avoiding
Rafefrustrated energy 2
A brief account of the week. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. A locum who had clearly read…
Circle tonight
Lucaswarm energy 1
Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the…
Two sessions
Matttired but good energy 4
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…
Awake at four
Florrietired energy 5
Evening. 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. The sleep has changed shape…
Dreams
Hollyfoggy energy 3
Late, and writing anyway. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so…
The list on the fridge
Huwsteady energy 2
This week: Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Was undereating without realising. The…
She noticed first
Mossheld energy 5
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. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I…
The bad fortnight
Nadiaflat energy 4
Week in order: The nausea has a shape to it now. Thursday teatime it starts, Friday it peaks, Saturday afternoon it lifts. Once I could see the pattern it stopped…
Quiet
Pamflat 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. An unremarkable week. Ate,…
No news
Ronansteady energy 1
An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Steady. That is the whole entry. No news. The dog is well, the…
Sunday night, four lines

Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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. My buddy…
Before nine
Tinukesteady energy 4
Evening. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting…
Sunday lunch
Ashawkward energy 4
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. Somebody asked what my…
Protein first
Blysteady energy 3
Short one tonight. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and…
