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 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 calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four months.

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.

Propped up on three pillows. Night.

Reading this at half past six with a cup of tea and nodding at every line. Thank you for writing it down.

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.
