A brief account of the week.

Ada said something in circle that has stayed with me: that a plateau is weather, not a verdict. I have written it on a card.

Flat, discussed in terms of regression to the mean.

Flat again. I have stopped looking, which is either healthy or avoidance and I genuinely cannot tell.

Second plateau, and it is easier than the first, mostly because I have been here and come out the other side without doing anything clever.

Next paper Sunday.

Please do take that to your GP rather than waiting for the next review. Not to frighten you — just, go.

Ninth week for me too and I also nearly stopped. Glad neither of us did, so far.

I did the same thing with the box, for six weeks, in a two-bedroom flat. We are ridiculous and we are fine.
