An hour on the floor
Blygrateful energy 2
Late, and writing anyway. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop…
Somebody new
Bunnywarm energy 1
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 the room…
Eight minutes and a chair

She reduced it
Harlanheard energy 5
Notes for the week. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Took the diary in. She…
Anchored to the shifts

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 because I am that person.…
Circle tonight
Lilwarm energy 3

Slept through
Lurested energy 4
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 came back and the…
No news

Back without making it up
Rafetired but good energy 4

Nine minutes
Carlfrustrated energy 1

Somebody new
Hollywarm energy 3
A quiet week. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were…
Sunday lunch
Maritawkward energy 2
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. Starters as a…
Fewer, heavier

She stopped the room

Notes for the week. 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.…
The bad fortnight
Rillaflat energy 1turning point
Bad week and I am writing it down anyway, because a journal that only contains the good weeks would be a lie and no use to anybody reading it later. A bad rotation.…

Both bags, one go

Starters as a main
Alekswarm energy 4
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. My mother…
Dreams
Ariatired energy 1
Week in order: 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…
