Fewer, heavier
Pruetired but good energy 1
A brief account of the week. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in…
What is your secret
Romyloved energy 3
Short one tonight. 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. My mother…
A plain question
Sorayasteady energy 4
Short one tonight. 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…
Back without making it up
Catotired but good energy 3
This week: Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Kept the two sessions that matter…
Grip
Clovertired but good energy 1
Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying…
Nothing to report
Ephraimflat energy 2
A brief account of the week. 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…
A wedding
Flossieawkward energy 2
Evening. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who…
The question I had been avoiding
Harribrisk energy 5
Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice…
A locum
Lilheard 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. Asked the question I had been avoiding for…
Two lines a day
Mapleorganised energy 3
Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I…
Quiet
Morayflat energy 4
Right. 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. I nearly…
The list on the fridge
Rinsteady energy 2
Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits…
Grip
Ronantired but good energy 2
This week: Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in March, and he is…
I nearly did not write
Samfine energy 3
Recording this for the record. 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…
Both bags, one go
Tarngrateful energy 4
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. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Tied my own…
Paired
Tinukeheld energy 5
Evening. 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, four or five lines…
She stopped the room
Rohanwarm energy 5
Recording this for the record. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It changed the…
Into town and back
Annikagrateful energy 5
Short one tonight. 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. Got…
Sunday lunch
Bayawkward energy 5
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. Somebody asked what my secret…
Two flights of stairs
Bopleased 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. Walked into town and…
Awake at four
Clemmierested energy 1
A gentle week, mostly. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake…
Steady
Harlansteady energy 3
An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it.…
Awake at four
Hattierested energy 4
Late, and writing anyway. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Repeat study came back and…
Laces
Linnetpleased energy 5turning point
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Walked up Scout Scar. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing.…
