What is your secret
Huwwarm energy 3
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 wedding. Three courses…
Nothing to report
Nansteady energy 5
This week: An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Steady. That is the whole entry. Ta ra.
The pattern of it

Short one tonight. Reflux again. I slept propped up on three pillows and woke at two anyway. I have an appointment on Thursday and I am going to actually mention it…
A printout I cannot read

Nothing to report

Notes for the week. 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. Steady. That…
Back without making it up
Annatired but good energy 3
A brief account of the 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. Grip…
The limits of yoghurt
Lucassteady 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…
She reduced it
Baybrisk energy 5
Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was…
Off the floor
Bexquietly delighted energy 2
Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Tied my own…
The limits of yoghurt
Blysteady energy 3
Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written them…
Walking

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. Grip strength has gone off and I…

Nothing to report
Mosssteady energy 1
An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it.…
Somebody new
Nadiawarm energy 4
Week in order: 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 the…
Two sessions
Ossiantired but good energy 1
A quiet week. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Came back after a bad fortnight without…
Two lines a day
Patrickorganised energy 3
Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That is the entire system and it has twice changed a clinical decision. Anchored injection day to my shift…
She read the diary
Rillafrustrated energy 2
Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. A locum who had clearly read nothing.…
A rough few days
Saraflat energy 5turning point
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 like…
Dreams
Sorrelfoggy energy 4
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.…
The list on the fridge
Tedsteady energy 5
This week: 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…
Both bags, one go
Theaquietly delighted energy 4
Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and…
Into town and back
Nellquietly delighted energy 3
Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an idiot. Nobody saw. It counted. Swam. First time since school. Two…
Sunday night, four lines
Clemmieheld energy 3
Sitting down to this properly tonight. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Nobody has ever asked me…
