An hour on the floor
Catopleased energy 2
This week: 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…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Clemmieheld energy 3
A gentle week, mostly. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. My buddy noticed…
What is your secret
Devawkward energy 2
Recording this for the record. 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…
Steady
Gillyfine energy 4
Well then. 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…
No news
Ivesflat energy 3
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…
What is your secret
Luloved energy 2
Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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…
Awake at four
Mossrested energy 4
A gentle week, mostly. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long…
Awake at four
Ollietired energy 5
Sitting down to this properly tonight. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Repeat study…
I nearly did not write
Ossianflat energy 2
A quiet 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 thing. No…
The list on the fridge
Rafesteady energy 1
Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question…
Steady
Rillasteady 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. Steady. That is the whole entry.…
A different shape
Soniatired energy 2
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.…
A wedding
Rohanloved energy 1
Notes for the week. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze…
The limits of yoghurt
Bertiesteady energy 4
A brief account of the week. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Spread it across…
Stayed for the company
Bexwarm energy 2
Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring.…
Dreams
Freyarested energy 2
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying…
Three cool bags and a thermometer
Gwenorganised energy 4
This week: 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. Small logistics win: worked…
Grip
Huwtired but good energy 3
This week: 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. Walked instead of the…
Two sessions
Keeleytired but good energy 4
Late, and writing anyway. 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,…
Eight minutes and a chair
Nadiatired but good energy 4
Three things this week. 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…
Paired
Patrickheld energy 4
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,…
Two sessions
Ruthietired but good energy 4
Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole…
Fewer, heavier
Salmatired but good energy 4
A gentle week, mostly. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed…
A1c down
Solomonrelieved energy 1
Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a come-back-in-a-year before. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight was not…
