Diary, March 2024, Wednesday, the 20th of March


 This morning has been awful.

Jonathan asked for the day off school.

He Doesn’t want to see a doctor.

He says he needs the rest, and he might then be better and not need a doctor.

I said if he’s not well, I should take him to a doctor.

He found a rash on each arm. It felt like he was trying to find something to be wrong with him, so he could have the day off.

I feel very sad.

I don’t think he’s being bullied and he’s doing well in all of his subjects. Except PE and music.

Last night, as is increasingly common, he slept from 5 pm until about 10 pm.

I cooked his dinner while he was sleeping, and then kept it for him in the fridge until he was up.

So he had dinner very late last night, and then was awake until after midnight.

The amount of sleep doesn’t worry, me too much, because if he’s had five hours and then another five hours that’s 10 hours of sleep overall.

But the pattern doesn’t seem to leave him rested for School.

His sugars are fairly low and fairly steady. They are 10.2 this morning, which is an improvement, but he hasn’t had any breakfast.

I worry in case he is afraid to eat to avoid putting his sugars up. I also wonder if stomachache might relate to the fact that he’s gotten an empty stomach, but a high blood sugar means he doesn’t feel hungry, but he doesn’t eat.

Nerdy nitrogen

 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. Not withstanding that it’s 80% of the atmosphere, I realise I just can’t get away from the stuff. As a Chief carbon reduction Engineer one of my Missions Was to raise awareness and understanding of the science behind global warming. Regularly, I talked about atmospheric composition, About the roles of carbon dioxide and nitrogen in the atmosphere. How carbon dioxide...

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...
