  • Steady

    Bo9 Apr 2025fine energy 1

    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…

  • Off the floor

    Bridie9 Apr 2025grateful energy 2turning point

    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. Lifted a feed bag properly again. Carried both…

  • She read the diary

    Col9 Apr 2025brisk energy 4

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. She…

  • A locum

    Gigi9 Apr 2025frustrated energy 4

    Evening. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She…

  • I nearly did not write

    Gilly9 Apr 2025fine energy 4

    Well then. 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…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Hattie9 Apr 2025organised energy 5

    Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Anchored injection day to my shift…

  • Nine minutes

    Inês9 Apr 2025frustrated energy 4

    A quiet week. 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…

  • Nothing to report

    Lark9 Apr 2025fine energy 1

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my…

  • No news

    Marit9 Apr 2025steady energy 2

    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. Steady. That is the whole entry.…

  • An hour on the floor

    Ned9 Apr 2025grateful energy 5turning point

    Short one tonight. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Walked up to the crooked spire and round the park. Sat on the floor and played for an…

  • Across the day

    Ossian9 Apr 2025steady energy 5

    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.…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Ozzy9 Apr 2025organised energy 5

    Well then. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared…

  • No news

    Solomon9 Apr 2025flat energy 2

    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. An unremarkable week. Ate,…

  • Off the floor

    Tarn9 Apr 2025quietly delighted energy 4turning point

    Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Led a group up Catbells without flagging. Carried both bags up in one…

  • Quiet

    Rohan8 Apr 2025flat energy 2

    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. No news. The dog…

  • No news

    Aleks8 Apr 2025fine energy 4

    Short one tonight. 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.…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Ammi8 Apr 2025steady energy 3

    Short one tonight. 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. Greek…

  • Paired

    Annika8 Apr 2025held energy 4

    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 and I had a fine one,…

  • Quiet

    Bertie8 Apr 2025flat 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 different shape

    Bunny8 Apr 2025foggy energy 2

    Evening. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have…

  • Into town and back

    Ephraim8 Apr 2025grateful energy 2

    Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Slept…

  • Not a number

    Hannah8 Apr 2025delighted energy 4turning point

    Wrote it in the milestones page as well, which I would have found embarrassing a year ago. Cycle returned after six years. Complicated feelings, mostly about her…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Harlan8 Apr 2025organised energy 1

    Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That is the entire system and it has twice changed a clinical decision. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad…

  • Circle tonight

    Ives8 Apr 2025warm energy 5

    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…
