  • Before nine

    Bo9 May 2025practical energy 5

  • Before nine

    Dot9 May 2025steady energy 4

    Ray9 May 2025steady energy 4

    Well then. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a…

  • No mask

    Ike9 May 2025rested energy 5

    This week: Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off.…

  • The list on the fridge

    Mo9 May 2025steady energy 1

    Three things this week. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Moray9 May 2025steady energy 4

  • Flat, whole night

    Nuala9 May 2025pleased energy 5

    Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Swam. First time…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Ossian9 May 2025frustrated energy 2

    Late, and writing anyway. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what I needed, and I have booked with my own GP for next month. Asked the question…

  • Neither of us said it

    Priya9 May 2025tender energy 3turning point

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. He is finding this harder than I expected and neither of us has said so out loud. I am going to say so out loud. Her husband…

  • An hour on the floor

    Romy9 May 2025quietly delighted energy 5

    Short one tonight. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since…

  • Unpleasant, not dangerous

    Soraya9 May 2025sore energy 2

  • An unremarkable week

    A brief account of the week. 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…

  • Walking

    Noah8 May 2025tired but good energy 5

    Right. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday…

  • An unremarkable week

    Annika8 May 2025flat energy 5

    A quiet week. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Enough for now.

  • Off the floor

    Bay8 May 2025quietly delighted energy 5

    A gentle week, mostly. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down.…

  • Nine minutes

    Birdie8 May 2025brisk energy 4

    Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. Left with a printout I could not…

  • Steady

    Cato8 May 2025steady energy 5

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Steady. That is the whole entry. Done talking.
