  • She stopped the room

    Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Sunday 2 Mar 2025week 22organised energy 1

    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. New sharps bin, and a plan for…

  • Two lines a day

    Monday 10 Feb 2025week 19organised energy 5

    A quiet week. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Built a floor: three things she always…

  • Dreams

    Sunday 19 Jan 2025week 16rested energy 24 replies

    Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Slept…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Short one tonight. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits…

    A quiet week. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Undereating badly without noticing, caught by her practice nurse. I have found…

  • Two sessions

    Thursday 5 Dec 2024week 10tired but good energy 22 replies

    Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in March, and he is annoyingly right. Eight…

    Late, and writing anyway. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Grip strength has gone off and I…

  • The list on the fridge

    Tuesday 22 Oct 2024week 4steady energy 23 replies

    A quiet week. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written them on the fridge. That list is the most useful thing I own. Protein first,…

    I want to write this down before I forget how frightened I was, because I suspect in three months I will not believe it. Twenty minutes of standing there. Then eight seconds.…
