Circle tonight
Gwendawarm energy 3
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…
Off the floor
Inêspleased energy 5turning point
Short one tonight. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since 2021 and I did it twice more just to check. Full shift on…
Nothing to report
Ivessteady energy 1
This week: An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I…
Stayed for the company
Marniewarm energy 3
A quiet week. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. The facilitator stopped the room when four…
Steady
Petuafine energy 2
A quiet 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. Quiet. Injection…
No news
Rafesteady energy 1
A brief account of the week. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Nothing to report. Writing it down…
Back without making it up
Tildatired but good energy 3
Three things this week. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that used to end it for me every time. Walked…
A plain question
Tullasteady energy 5
This week: 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. Was…
An unremarkable week
Belfine energy 3
Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Better tomorrow, probably.
A plain question
Bopractical energy 3turning point
A quiet week. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had actually eaten in the last two days and I heard my own answer.…
Anchored to the shifts
Bunnyorganised energy 1
Evening. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four months. Tested three…
Two flights of stairs
Fenquietly delighted energy 3
Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Flat again. Good.
Nothing to report
Mossflat energy 5
A gentle week, mostly. 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.…
A wedding
Nedloved energy 4
A quiet week. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Starters as a main course, permanently. No…
I nearly did not write
Pippaflat energy 2
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false…
Circle tonight
Raviwarm energy 5
Notes for the week. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. The facilitator stopped the room…
Two lines a day
Ronanorganised energy 5
This week: Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Batch cooked on a good day…
A different shape
Sorrelfoggy energy 1
This week: 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…
Two lengths, badly
Tobygrateful energy 1turning point
Quickly, before bed. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I started, and I have now done it. Played football with both…
Unpleasant, not dangerous
Zoëflat energy 1
Quickly, before bed. Constipation, which I have avoided writing about for six weeks out of pure squeamishness. It is the thing making me most miserable and I have…
Sore and slow
Ammisore energy 4
The nausea has a shape to it now. Thursday teatime it starts, Friday it peaks, Saturday afternoon it lifts. Once I could see the pattern it stopped feeling like…
Sunday night, four lines
Ashwinheld energy 4
Week in order: My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a…
Six labelled boxes
Nellorganised energy 5
A quiet week. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Anchored injection day…
My mother cooks
Devloved energy 1
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 main…
