An unremarkable week
Solomonfine energy 1
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 week running.…
I nearly did not write
Sorrelfine energy 1
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.…
Flat, whole night
Soniaquietly delighted energy 5
Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an idiot. Nobody saw. It counted.…

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. Quiet. Injection…
A different shape
Bextired energy 1
Quickly, before bed. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Vivid dreams, every night, the…
Quiet
Blyflat energy 5
Short one tonight. 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…
Sunday night, four lines
Brunoheld energy 1
Evening. 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 Wednesday…
Paired
Bunnyheld energy 5
Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. My buddy noticed something in my journal…
A calculator and a cup of tea
Callapinched energy 3
A quiet week. Told my partner what it actually costs. That conversation was overdue by about four months. What this has displaced in the budget: the car being fixed,…
She stopped the room
Freyawarm energy 1
Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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.…
A different shape
Gillyfoggy 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…
She read the diary
Gwenbrisk energy 5
Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. A locum who had clearly read…
Steady
Hollysteady 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…
Three cool bags and a thermometer
Huworganised energy 1
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 cool bags…
Quiet
Juniperflat energy 1
Well then. Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false…
Paired
Larkheld energy 3
A gentle week, mostly. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. She had a bad week…
Flat, whole night
Nedquietly delighted energy 4
A quiet week. 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. Slept flat. Whole…
Flat, whole night
Olliepleased energy 2
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…
Somebody new
Patrickwarm energy 5
Late, and writing anyway. 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…
An unremarkable week
Pippasteady energy 2
A gentle week, mostly. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine…
A printout I cannot read
Rafefrustrated 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. Took the diary in. She read it properly,…
What is your secret
Stefanawkward energy 1
Recording this for the record. 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.…
The list on the fridge
Theasteady energy 2
Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Protein first, everything else after. It is not…
Somebody new
Tullawarm energy 4
This week: Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly…
