  • Six labelled boxes

    Mark29 Mar 2025organised energy 4

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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. Anchored…

  • My mother cooks

    Marnie29 Mar 2025awkward energy 1

    A quiet week. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama,…

  • Quiet

    Nix29 Mar 2025steady energy 1

    Notes for the week. 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…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Rin29 Mar 2025steady energy 2

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a…

  • Stayed for the company

    Ravi29 Mar 2025warm energy 4

    Recording this for the record. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour,…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Salma29 Mar 2025held energy 2

    A gentle week, mostly. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very…

  • Awake at four

    Sorrel29 Mar 2025foggy energy 4

    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 anything written about it.…

  • Protein first

    Sonia29 Mar 2025steady energy 1

    A gentle week, mostly. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Greek yoghurt, eggs,…

  • She stopped the room

    Bly28 Mar 2025warm energy 4

    Late, and writing anyway. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and…

  • An unremarkable week

    Bo28 Mar 2025flat energy 2

    A quiet week. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This…

  • Laces

    Bruno28 Mar 2025quietly delighted energy 3

    Evening. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since 2021 and I…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Bunny28 Mar 2025quietly delighted energy 3

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

  • Sunday lunch

    Gilly28 Mar 2025warm energy 2

    Right. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can,…

  • Steady

    Harlan28 Mar 2025fine energy 1

    Notes for the week. 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…

  • A plain question

    Ike28 Mar 2025steady energy 5

    Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and…

  • Where the pen lives

    Ned28 Mar 2025organised energy 3

    Late, and writing anyway. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four…

  • A different shape

    Nettie28 Mar 2025foggy energy 1

    This 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 anything written…

  • Steady

    Nolan28 Mar 2025flat energy 1

    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…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Norah28 Mar 2025organised energy 3

    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 diary.…

  • An unremarkable week

    Rafe28 Mar 2025fine energy 5

    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. Steady. That is…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Tarn28 Mar 2025tired but good energy 3

    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,…

  • Grip

    Ambrose27 Mar 2025tired but good energy 2

    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…
