  • An unremarkable week

    Lu30 Apr 2025steady energy 2

    Moray30 Apr 2025tired but good energy 5

  • Quiet

    Tulla30 Apr 2025steady energy 1

    This week: 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,…

  • A plain question

    Bodhi29 Apr 2025steady energy 4

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Was undereating without…

  • The question I had been avoiding

    Bram29 Apr 2025frustrated energy 3

    Well then. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Left with a printout I…

  • A wedding

    Bruno29 Apr 2025loved energy 4

    Evening. 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…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Carl29 Apr 2025heard energy 1

    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. Nine minutes. I took three written questions…

  • Laces

    Fen29 Apr 2025grateful energy 3

    Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since…

  • She stopped the room

    Florrie29 Apr 2025warm energy 1

    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.…

  • Back without making it up

    Gwenda29 Apr 2025tired but good energy 3

  • Across the day

    Juno29 Apr 2025steady energy 1

    Right. 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. Spread it…

  • Sunday lunch

    Lark29 Apr 2025loved energy 1

    A gentle week, mostly. 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.…

  • An hour on the floor

    Ned29 Apr 2025quietly delighted energy 5

    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. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Nuala29 Apr 2025tired but good energy 4

    Ravi29 Apr 2025steady energy 3

    Notes for the week. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Got something with protein in before nine this…

  • She reduced it

    Romy29 Apr 2025brisk energy 4

  • An unremarkable week

    Sorrel29 Apr 2025fine energy 4

    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…

    Evening. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Took the diary in. She read…

  • A plain question

    Toby29 Apr 2025steady energy 5

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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…
