  • Walking

    Birdie3 Apr 2025tired but good energy 2

    Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Bly3 Apr 2025held energy 3

    Late, and writing anyway. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other…

  • Where the pen lives

    Bram3 Apr 2025organised energy 5

    Right. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Tested three cool bags against…

  • An hour on the floor

    Bunny3 Apr 2025grateful energy 5

    Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Breakfast shift.

  • Walking

    Carl3 Apr 2025tired but good energy 4

    This week: Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier,…

  • Off the floor

    Dilly3 Apr 2025pleased energy 4

    Evening. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Busy Saturday.

  • Two lengths, badly

    Gilly3 Apr 2025pleased energy 1

    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. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not…

  • Quiet

    Harlan3 Apr 2025flat energy 2

    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. An unremarkable week.…

  • Before nine

    Ike3 Apr 2025steady energy 4

    This week: Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and…

  • Quiet

    Keeley3 Apr 2025fine energy 2

    Late, and writing anyway. 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…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Lil3 Apr 2025pleased energy 5

    Evening. 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. Walked into town and back, which I…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Maeve3 Apr 2025brisk 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,…

  • Slept through

    Moss3 Apr 2025rested energy 1

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Pam3 Apr 2025pleased energy 3

    A brief account of the week. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and…

  • I nearly did not write

    Ruthie3 Apr 2025steady energy 5

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Next paper Sunday.

  • Where the pen lives

    Winnie3 Apr 2025organised 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. Batch cooked on a good…

    Ammi2 Apr 2025fine energy 3

    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…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Bruno2 Apr 2025organised energy 2

    Evening. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer…

  • Nothing to report

    Florrie2 Apr 2025steady energy 5

    Evening. 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.…

  • She reduced it

    Freya2 Apr 2025brisk energy 2

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Left with a printout I could not read and no…

  • Quiet

    Gavin2 Apr 2025flat energy 4

    A quiet week. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Cheers.

  • I nearly did not write

    Holly2 Apr 2025steady energy 2

    A quiet 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 weeks. Nothing…

  • Somebody new

    Nan2 Apr 2025warm energy 4

    This week: 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 facilitator stopped…

  • An hour on the floor

    Obi2 Apr 2025grateful energy 5

    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. Swam. First time since school. Two…
