My mother cooks
Brunoloved energy 5
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…
A printout I cannot read
Gwendafrustrated 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. Took the diary in. She read it…
A new bin and a plan
Gwynethorganised energy 4
This week: Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Two lines a day in a paper…
Off the floor
Jontypleased energy 5
A brief account of the week. 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…
A wedding
Larkloved energy 4
Sitting down to this properly 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…
The list on the fridge
Linnetsteady energy 5
Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had…
Nine minutes
Maevebrisk energy 3
Right. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I…
Walking
Marnietired but good energy 5
A quiet 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. Kept the two…
An unremarkable week
Petuafine energy 1
Short one tonight. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately.…
Stayed for the company
Posywarm energy 2
This week: 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 whole hour. Went for…
Sunday night, four lines
Soniaheld energy 4
Sitting down to this properly tonight. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the whole mechanism. My buddy…
Steady
Tamsteady 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.…
Stayed for the company
Tansywarm energy 1
Well then. 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 whole hour. Somebody…
Later than I should have
Tobiasbetter energy 2turning point
Flat rather than sad. I could not find words for it for a fortnight, which meant I did not raise it for a fortnight. A very brief entry admitting he had been…
No news
Tullaflat energy 1
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 have taken…
She stopped the room
Zebwarm energy 4
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. Went for the practical answers and…
Quiet
Ammisteady energy 3
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…
Somebody new
Catowarm 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.…
Off the floor
Clemmiequietly delighted energy 4
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths,…
Weather, not a verdict
Devfrayed energy 5
Recording this for the record. Second plateau, and it is easier than the first, mostly because I have been here and come out the other side without doing anything…
An hour on the floor
Fenpleased energy 1turning point
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. Cycled to Cambridge and back on the…
Back without making it up
Junotired but good energy 3
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 annoyingly…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Luheld energy 1
Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most…
Quiet
Moflat energy 3
Week in order: 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. No news.…
