Diary, March 2024, Monday, the 3rd of March

 My alarm woke me up at 7 o’clock

I clean my bathroom toilet having it soaking with a bleach tablet overnight

I wash the kitchen windows and the cooker hood with soapy water

Jonathan is in bed, complaining of stomach pain

At 0800. I will be able to call the doctor and ask if he can see someone this morning.

I have received an invite to interview for the voluntary post to content creation for a start-up using AI with empathy for mental health support.

Taking Jonathan to the doctors at 09 40. Will leave the house at 9:15.

Have emailed the School to let them know. We should be there by 11. If the doctor says it’s okay.

Dr has said to keep him off school until his blood sugars fall.

The whole morning has been taken up with monitoring sugars.

E mailed the school to let them know.

Diabetes nurse said to increase long term by 1 unit(to 22 units) so long as his midnight snacks are being taken with sufficient insulin..

It has been quite a fraught morning providing Jonathan with medical care.

14:54 This afternoon, Jonathan s blood sugars fell to 13.5, just in time to get them to School for the last two lessons of the day. His dad and I went in the car with him to get him to School. Then we waited until 2 pm for the pharmacy to open. I had asked the doctor to make sure that his prescription was going to that pharmacy before heading out to the pharmacy, and then waiting 27 minutes for that pharmacy to open. It has not in fact gone to that pharmacy. So now I’m spending the rest of the afternoon chasing the prescription Jonathan needs from his doctor.

 The term "nerdy nitrogen" captures the multifaceted nature of nitrogen in science, highlighting both its essential roles in biological systems and the complexities of its chemistry and environmental effects "Nerdy nitrogen" is an informal and humorous term that often refers to the complexities and intricacies of nitrogen compounds and their roles in various scientific fields, particularly in environmental science and chemistry. Here are some key points about nitrogen and its "nerdy" aspects: Working with a client on their nitrogen problem I realised that nitrogen plays a major role in my life.

Ammonia

  Imagine a bustling society of tiny, determined beings—the autotrophic bacteria—living in a vibrant, unseen world. These microscopic citizens thrive in environments rich with ammonia, a substance that many consider waste, yet for them, it’s a treasure trove of energy. In this miniature realm, the autotrophic bacteria are akin to resourceful warriors, battling against the harsh conditions of their surroundings. They form intricate communities, each member armed with unique abilities to harness energy from ammonia. As they  oxidise this nitrogen-rich compound, they engage in a relentless struggle for survival, converting ammonia into energy through a sophisticated process akin to a bustling factory. Picture them as skilled artisans, meticulously crafting energy from the raw materials at their disposal. They employ intricate biochemical pathways, transforming ammonia into essential nutrients that sustain their lives. This transformation is not without its challenges; they must n...
