  • Back without making it up

    Ravi9 Mar 2025tired but good energy 5

    Recording this for the record. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that used to end it for me every time.…

  • Both bags, one go

    Sara9 Mar 2025grateful energy 2

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without…

  • What is your secret

    Tilda9 Mar 2025loved energy 2

    Week in order: 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. Sunday…

  • Paired

    Wilf9 Mar 2025held energy 1

    This week: Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. Nobody has ever asked me how I…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Lucas8 Mar 2025organised energy 4

    Well then. 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. Small…

  • A wedding

    Ambrose8 Mar 2025awkward energy 1

    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…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Ashwin8 Mar 2025organised energy 1

    Week in order: Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. New sharps bin, and a plan for what…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Bly8 Mar 2025organised energy 1

    Late, and writing anyway. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Batch…

  • Quiet

    Cato8 Mar 2025fine energy 1

    This week: 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 the eleventh…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Clemmie8 Mar 2025organised energy 5

    A gentle week, mostly. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Anchored injection day to my shift…

  • Six labelled boxes

    Col8 Mar 2025organised energy 2

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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…

  • Fewer, heavier

    Ephraim8 Mar 2025tired 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…

  • No news

    Juno8 Mar 2025steady energy 5

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Steady. That is the whole entry. No news. The dog is well, the…

  • No news

    Lark8 Mar 2025fine energy 5

    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 impression of…

  • An unremarkable week

    Ronan8 Mar 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,…

  • Walking

    Soraya8 Mar 2025tired but good energy 3

    Late, and writing anyway. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Two sessions this week, both short, both done.…

  • A wedding

    Yannick8 Mar 2025warm energy 4

    Notes for the week. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still…

  • Two sessions

    Bay7 Mar 2025tired but good energy 2

    A gentle week, mostly. 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…

  • Quiet

    Bel7 Mar 2025steady energy 4

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

  • Six labelled boxes

    Bunny7 Mar 2025organised energy 2

    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…

  • A wedding

    Carl7 Mar 2025awkward energy 2

    Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation…

  • Grip

    Lil7 Mar 2025tired but good energy 1

    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…
