  • The list on the fridge

    Saoirse18 Mar 2025steady energy 2

    Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written them…

  • Nothing to report

    Sara18 Mar 2025fine energy 5

    A gentle week, mostly. 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…

  • Sore and slow

    Zeb18 Mar 2025flat energy 5turning point

    The burping. Nobody mentions the burping. It is not in any leaflet and it is genuinely one of the odder experiences of my adult life. Tracked meticulously. Reflux…

  • No mask

    Noah17 Mar 2025foggy energy 1

    Right. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the morning trying to work out what was different. Vivid dreams, every night,…

  • Nine minutes

    Ashwin17 Mar 2025heard energy 1

    Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. Asked the question I had been…

  • An unremarkable week

    Bex17 Mar 2025fine energy 4

    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.…

  • Steady

    Freya17 Mar 2025fine energy 4

    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…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Gigi17 Mar 2025tired but good energy 3

    Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for…

  • Before nine

    Lark17 Mar 2025steady energy 4

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Got something with protein in…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Lil17 Mar 2025grateful energy 1turning point

    Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Walked to Avenham Park and back. Up the stairs at work twice without…

  • Flat, whole night

    Martha17 Mar 2025grateful energy 4

    Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I…

  • Unremarkable

    Minnie17 Mar 2025relieved energy 5

    Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once heard applied to me. A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother,…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Moss17 Mar 2025tired but good energy 1

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Two sessions this week, both…

  • Awake at four

    Oskar17 Mar 2025rested energy 3

    Recording this for the record. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so…

  • Across the day

    Solomon17 Mar 2025steady energy 4

    Week in order: Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Protein first, everything else…

  • I nearly did not write

    Tulla17 Mar 2025flat energy 1

    This 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. Steady. That is the…

  • Nothing to report

    Abel16 Mar 2025flat energy 5

    A brief account of 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…

  • She reduced it

    Aria16 Mar 2025brisk energy 5

    Week in order: She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not…

  • A rough few days

    Bram16 Mar 2025sore energy 1turning point

    Right. Cramp in both calves in the night, twice this week. Mentioned it and had bloods done rather than being told to eat a banana, which I appreciated. Manageable.…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Bridie16 Mar 2025pleased energy 5

    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, badly, grinning. Milking at six.

  • I nearly did not write

    Dot16 Mar 2025fine energy 1

    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. I nearly did not write this week…

  • Paired

    Hannah16 Mar 2025held energy 3

    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,…

  • Come back in a year

    Minnie16 Mar 2025pleased energy 2turning point

    Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once heard applied to me. Learned to read a thyroid panel properly. A1c down. I looked at the number…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Mo16 Mar 2025pleased energy 2

    Week in order: Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got…
