The limits of yoghurt
Ottolinesteady energy 3
A brief account of the week. 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…
Into town and back
Pippapleased energy 1
Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…
Dreams
Raferested energy 5
A brief account of the week. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other people in circle have the same and none of us can find…
An unremarkable week
Saoirsesteady energy 3
Steady. That is the whole entry. 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…
Two lines a day
Solomonorganised energy 2
Week in order: Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Batch cooked on a good…
She reduced it
Tobiasbrisk energy 1
Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Left with a printout I could not read…
Two sessions
Tullatired but good energy 5
Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats…
Circle tonight
Annasteadied energy 3
A brief account of the 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…
Anchored to the shifts
Abelorganised energy 4
New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a…
Back without making it up
Bridietired but good energy 3
Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and…
An unremarkable week
Cloverflat energy 1
Evening. 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…
Walking
Fentired but good energy 1
This week: Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Two sessions this week, both short, both done.…
She stopped the room
Flossiewarm energy 3
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. Circle tonight.…
Paired
Gwendaheld energy 1
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 noticed something in my journal before I…
Sunday night, four lines
Gwynethheld energy 5
This week: 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…

Juniperheld energy 3
Right. 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 noticed something in my journal…
Steady
Larkflat energy 2
Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…
Three cool bags and a thermometer
Posyorganised energy 4
Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Anchored injection day to my shift…
Where the pen lives
Ashwinorganised energy 2
New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great…
She read the diary
Gigifrustrated energy 2
Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. She reduced one of my other…
A plain question
Gussteady energy 5
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Spread it…
Where the pen lives
Hattieorganised energy 3
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…
Dreams
Héloïserested energy 1
A brief account of the week. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much…
Starters as a main
Huwawkward energy 2
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. A wedding. Three courses…
