  • Stayed for the company

    Ronan11 Mar 2026warm energy 2

    Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring.…

  • Just Wednesdays

    Saoirse11 Mar 2026settled energy 5turning point

    A gentle week, mostly. The strange part is not having a project any more. I had not understood how much I was enjoying having one. Steady. Two years. My only news is…

  • Where the pen lives

    Stellan11 Mar 2026organised energy 4

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

  • Two lengths, badly

    Zoë11 Mar 2026pleased energy 1turning point

    Quickly, before bed. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Rode the Dunwich Dynamo. Two hundred kilometres, one…

  • Starters as a main

    Tinuke10 Mar 2026loved energy 3

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

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Zeb10 Mar 2026organised energy 5

    Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Two lines a day in a paper diary.…

  • Reduced

    Poppy9 Mar 2026content energy 5turning point

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Wednesdays are just Wednesdays now. Steady, PCOS symptoms much improved, writing in fragments as ever. Nothing happened again. I am…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Maeve9 Mar 2026organised energy 4

    Right. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That is the entire system and it has twice changed a clinical decision. Small logistics win: worked out…

  • Quiet

    Bridie8 Mar 2026steady energy 1

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I…

  • Just Wednesdays

    Linnet8 Mar 2026settled energy 4turning point

    Reduced to a maintenance dose. Same day, same fridge, less of it. Steady. Nothing happened again. I am aware that is now the fourth month running I have written that,…

  • Laces

    Winnie8 Mar 2026quietly delighted energy 4

    A gentle week, mostly. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire…

  • Unremarkable

    Espe7 Mar 2026pleased energy 4

    Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight was not subtle. Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently…

  • Two years, no news

    Sam7 Mar 2026content energy 3turning point

    Reduced to a maintenance dose. Same day, same fridge, less of it. Eighteen months steady. Writes once a fortnight, mostly lists. Wednesdays are just Wednesdays now.…

  • A different shape

    Jonty6 Mar 2026foggy energy 2

    A brief account of the week. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there…

  • Nothing to report

    Juniper6 Mar 2026fine energy 4

    Right. 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. I nearly did not write…

  • The list on the fridge

    Obi6 Mar 2026steady energy 1

    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. Spread it across the day…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Petua6 Mar 2026brisk energy 4

    She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which…

  • Just Wednesdays

    Tobias6 Mar 2026content energy 3turning point

    Notes for the week. The strange part is not having a project any more. I had not understood how much I was enjoying having one. Steady, and the entries have got…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Bel5 Mar 2026held energy 3

    Late, and writing anyway. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights,…

  • Two years, no news

    Bridie5 Mar 2026settled energy 4turning point

    This week: Nothing happened again. I am aware that is now the fourth month running I have written that, and I have decided it is the best sentence in this journal.…

  • No news

    Izzy5 Mar 2026fine energy 3

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a…

  • Steady

    Juno5 Mar 2026flat energy 2

    Well then. 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…

  • No news

    Nolan5 Mar 2026flat energy 2

    This 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.…
