Across the day

Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Protein first, everything else after. It is not…
Protein first

A gentle week, mostly. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Spread it across the day…

Sitting down to this properly tonight. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild…
Into town and back

A gentle week, mostly. 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. Full shift on my…

Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my medication on…
Walking

A gentle week, mostly. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is…

A gentle week, mostly. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Batch cooked on a good…

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. Kept the two sessions that matter and…

I have been waiting to write this entry for about fourteen months. Helvellyn. The entry is mostly about the light. Not a number. A thing I can do now that I could not do, and…

She noticed first

A gentle week, mostly. 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. Paired up. We text on Sunday…
Somebody new

Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…
Six labelled boxes

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 the…
