I nearly did not write
Olliefine energy 3
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…
What is your secret
Ottolineawkward energy 4
Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people…
Two flights of stairs
Peggygrateful energy 5turning point
Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since 2021 and I did it twice more just to check. Walked to the shop and back every…
Both bags, one go
Posypleased energy 3
This week: Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an idiot. Nobody saw. It counted. Tied my own laces…
Quiet
Sadiefine energy 1
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. Steady. That is…
No news
Samfine energy 1
Notes for the week. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing…
No mask
Solomonrested energy 2
Three things this week. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the morning trying to work out what was different. Repeat study…
Back without making it up
Sorreltired but good energy 4
This week: 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…
Protein first
Taviasteady energy 4
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,…
A wedding
Wystanloved energy 1
A gentle week, mostly. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. A wedding. Three courses I could not…
Where the pen lives
Lucasorganised energy 1
Right. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. New sharps bin, and a plan for…
The bad fortnight
Rohanflat energy 5turning point
Notes for the week. Headache for three days running. It turned out I had barely drunk anything since Tuesday. Water, then a slow improvement, then feeling faintly…
The mirror
Clemmieraw energy 1turning point
A gentle week, mostly. Strangers are being different with me and I hate it. I do not have a tidy thought about this. I just hate it. Complicated week. Wrote honestly…
An unremarkable week
Freyaflat energy 1
Quickly, before bed. Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The…
She stopped the room
Hollywarm energy 2turning point
The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It changed the whole hour. Menopause circle…
Flat, whole night
Mossquietly delighted energy 1turning point
Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Walked to Heptonstall and back twice in a week. Slept flat. Whole…
Circle tonight
Oskarwarm energy 3turning point
Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it land. EU circle, where he is the person…
Two flights of stairs
Petuaquietly delighted energy 3
A quiet week. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I started, and I have now done it. Got down on the floor and back…
A different shape
Pippatired energy 3
Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the morning trying to work out what was different. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort…
Starters as a main
Raviawkward energy 1
Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none…
My mother cooks
Tamawkward energy 5
Week in order: A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who noticed, and a very kind waiter who boxed it up without saying a word. Sunday lunch at…
Nothing to report
Tullasteady energy 3
This week: An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I…
The changing room
Blytired of it energy 4
Clothes shopping was worse, not better. I sat in the car afterwards for twenty minutes. Strangers are being different with me and I hate it. I do not have a tidy…
Nine minutes
Bofrustrated energy 2
A quiet week. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. A locum who had clearly…
