I want to write this down before I forget how frightened I was, because I suspect in three months I will not believe it. Twenty minutes of standing there. Then eight seconds. Then it was over and I felt faintly ridiculous.

Started at the end of the season.

So. First one done. I had been carrying the box around the house for four days like it was something I had borrowed and needed to give back, and in the end I did it standing up in the kitchen with the radio on.

Day one. I am writing this partly because somebody else's day-one entry is the reason I felt able to do it at all, and it seems only fair to leave one behind.

Fells tomorrow.

Would you be willing to say more about how you raised it? I have an appointment on the 14th and I keep losing my nerve.

I am so glad you went in. Genuinely.

No wisdom, just: I am sorry. That sounds genuinely hard.
