  • A wedding

    Ephraim21 May 2025awkward energy 4

    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. Sunday lunch at my…

  • Six labelled boxes

    Prue21 May 2025quietly delighted energy 4turning point

    Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Walked the city walls twice in a morning. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That…

  • I nearly did not write

    Sonia21 May 2025steady energy 2

  • Sunday night, four lines

  • Unpleasant, not dangerous

    Juniper20 May 2025rough energy 5turning point

    Right. Cramp in both calves in the night, twice this week. Mentioned it and had bloods done rather than being told to eat a banana, which I appreciated. Manageable.…

  • Nine minutes

    Rin20 May 2025frustrated energy 4

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. Took…

    Short one tonight. 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…
