  • Six labelled boxes

    Cato23 May 2025organised energy 1

    This week: Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to…

  • Only one way

    Dora23 May 2025worried energy 4turning point

    The hard part is that I had let myself believe the direction was only ever going to be one way. Lipids moved the wrong way. Took it badly, and wrote the most honest…

  • I nearly did not write

    Dot23 May 2025fine energy 5

    Well then. 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. An…

  • Eight hours of difference

    Duncan23 May 2025organised energy 3turning point

    Three things this week. Time difference of eight hours and a weekly dose. Moved it forward by two hours a day rather than all at once, on my GP's suggestion.…

  • Before nine

    Gilly23 May 2025practical energy 5turning point

    Right. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Took her own advice for once. Protein…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Marnie23 May 2025pleased energy 3

    A quiet week. 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. Slept flat. Whole…

  • I nearly did not write

    Mo23 May 2025fine energy 3

    Steady. That is the whole entry. 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…

  • Somebody new

    Nolan23 May 2025warm energy 3

    This week: 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. The facilitator stopped…

  • Circle tonight

    Rafe23 May 2025warm energy 3

    Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the…

  • Nothing to report

    Viv23 May 2025fine energy 5

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most…

  • Where the pen lives

    Abel22 May 2025organised energy 1turning point

    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. Cold chain over long…

  • Sunday lunch

    Bruno22 May 2025warm energy 2

    My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly, and I say thank you, and we manage. It is not a problem to be solved. Starters as a main…

  • Laces

    Clover22 May 2025pleased energy 1

    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. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat.…

  • Dreams

    Col22 May 2025tired energy 2

    Quickly, before bed. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long…

  • Nothing to report

    Gilly22 May 2025flat energy 2

    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 dog is well, the…

  • Steady

    Harlan22 May 2025steady energy 1

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it.…

  • Sunday lunch

    Harri22 May 2025warm energy 5

    Recording this for the record. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. My mother cooks. That is how she says it.…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Pippa22 May 2025practical energy 2turning point

    Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Batch cooking on good days for bad days. Protein…

  • Slept through

    Ted22 May 2025foggy energy 3

    This week: Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other people in circle have the same and none of us can find anything written…

  • An unremarkable week

    Toby22 May 2025flat energy 5

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild…

  • Sunday lunch

    Wilf22 May 2025awkward energy 2

    This week: 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. Somebody asked what…

  • I nearly did not write

    Aleks21 May 2025flat energy 4

    A quiet week. 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. I…

  • Two lines a day

    Bodhi21 May 2025organised energy 3

    A gentle week, mostly. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Small logistics win: worked out…

  • Slept through

    Bunny21 May 2025rested energy 5

    The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up…
