  • A wedding

    Huw19 May 2025loved energy 4

    This week: 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. A wedding.…

  • Two lines a day

    Inês19 May 2025organised energy 5

    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 where the pen actually…

  • Nothing to report

    Jonty19 May 2025steady energy 3

    Steady. That is the whole entry. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my medication on the correct day for the eleventh week running.…

  • No mask

    Maeve19 May 2025tired energy 3

    Well then. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there…

  • No news

    Mark19 May 2025flat energy 4

    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…

  • The pattern of it

    Nolan19 May 2025sore energy 2turning point

    A rough few days. Not dangerous, just relentlessly unpleasant, the kind of unwell where you cannot read and cannot sleep and cannot settle to anything. Manageable.…

  • She reduced it

    Ozzy19 May 2025brisk energy 2

    Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Nine minutes. I took three written…

  • No news

    Ravi19 May 2025fine energy 2

    Recording this for the record. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather…

  • Steady

    Solomon19 May 2025steady energy 2

    Three things this week. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Steady. That is the whole entry. No news. The…

  • Where the pen lives

    Soraya19 May 2025organised energy 1

    Late, and writing anyway. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend…

  • Starters as a main

    Sorrel19 May 2025warm energy 2

    Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I…

  • Dreams

    Thea19 May 2025rested energy 2

    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.…

  • Not writing about this would be dishonest

    Tilda19 May 2025sore energy 3

    Week in order: 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. The…

  • An unremarkable week

    Tulla19 May 2025flat energy 3

    No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my medication on the correct day for the eleventh week running. Steady. That is the whole entry.…

  • An unremarkable week

    Noah18 May 2025flat energy 1

    Well then. 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. Nothing to…

  • No mask

    Annika18 May 2025foggy energy 5

    Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I…

  • I liked it before

    Bly18 May 2025tired of it energy 4turning point

    Short one tonight. Clothes shopping was worse, not better. I sat in the car afterwards for twenty minutes. A hard month, handled in the body-image circle. Strangers…

  • Two sessions

    Izzy18 May 2025tired but good energy 4

    Well then. 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…

  • Grip

    Kai18 May 2025tired but good energy 4

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme…

  • Somebody new

    Maple18 May 2025warm energy 2

    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. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an…

  • A wedding

    Moray18 May 2025warm energy 2

    Right. 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…

  • Two lines a day

    Nadia18 May 2025organised energy 5

    Three things this week. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four…

  • Quiet

    Norah18 May 2025steady energy 3

    Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of…

  • I nearly did not write

    Nuala18 May 2025fine energy 3

    Right. 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. No news.…
