A brief account of the week. 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…
Two lengths, badly

A brief account of the week. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got…
Two lines a day

A brief account of the week. 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. Batch cooked on a…

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 weather has…
A printout I cannot read

Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Took the paper diary to a review, which changed the…
A plain question

A brief account of the week. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Spread it across the day…

Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I…
My mother cooks

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. Starters as a main course,…
