Beginning, badly
Flossiehopeful energy 3
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…
What was underneath
Hannahunsettled energy 1turning point
Something has gone quiet and it took me weeks to be able to name it. There was a running commentary in my head about food — what was in the house, what I would have…
An unremarkable week
Olliesteady energy 2
I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I thought about how much I have got out of other people's boring weeks. Quiet. Injection…
I have started
Wilfhopeful energy 5turning point
This week: I told one person. Not my mother, not work. One person, and only because she asked me a direct question at the right moment. His first entry is about…
She noticed first
Poppyheld energy 3
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 nights, four or five…
Steady
Maryamsteady energy 2
Recording this for the record. Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks…
An unremarkable week
Ruthiefine energy 1
A brief account of the week. Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Next paper Sunday.
No news
Tamfine energy 1
Week in order: 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…
She read the diary
Kateheard energy 1
Well then. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what I needed, and I have booked with my own GP for next month. She reduced one of my other…
First dose, done
Kezhopeful energy 4
I told one person. Not my mother, not work. One person, and only because she asked me a direct question at the right moment. I want to write this down before I forget…
Flat, whole night
Winniegrateful energy 3
Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about…
No news
Doraflat energy 1
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. An unremarkable week. Ate,…
Standing in the kitchen
Guswired energy 5
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…
Stayed for the company
Priyasteadied energy 5
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Circle tonight. Eight of us,…
Quiet

Recording this for the record. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of…
A locum
Duncanfrustrated energy 1
Week in order: Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. She reduced one of my other…
Nothing to report
Florriesteady energy 2
Evening. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of the whole thing. Quiet.…
The first one
Hattienervous energy 4turning point
A quiet week. 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…
Two lines a day
Patrickorganised energy 5
Late, and writing anyway. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Small logistics win: worked out…

First dose, done
Minawired energy 3
Short one tonight. I told one person. Not my mother, not work. One person, and only because she asked me a direct question at the right moment. Nothing has happened…
Six labelled boxes
Peggyorganised energy 4
This 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. Tested three cool bags…
Into town and back
Gwenpleased energy 2
Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Getting on with it.
