A plain question
Ambrosesteady energy 2
A brief account of the week. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Was undereating without realising. The…
Not writing about this would be dishonest
Brodysore energy 3
Reflux again. I slept propped up on three pillows and woke at two anyway. I have an appointment on Thursday and I am going to actually mention it this time rather…
Into town and back
Bunnyquietly delighted energy 2
Evening. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Breakfast shift.
Six labelled boxes
Cassorganised energy 1
Notes for the week. 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…
Steady
Catosteady energy 3
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,…
What is your secret
Ephraimawkward energy 3
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 lunch at my…
She noticed first
Fenheld energy 2
This week: 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. Nobody has ever asked me how I was…
A wedding
Freyaawkward energy 4
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of…
Dreams
Gavintired energy 2
Short one tonight. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Repeat study came back and the…
Nine minutes
Gwendafrustrated energy 3
This week: Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven…
She stopped the room
Kezwarm energy 5turning point
Quickly, before bed. 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.…
Sore and slow
Oskarsore energy 1
Very tired. Not the kind of tired a nap fixes. I slept nine hours and woke feeling as though I had been awake all night. Cramp in both calves in the night, twice this…
An unremarkable week
Prueflat energy 5
A brief account of the 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. I…
Where the pen lives
Sorrelpleased energy 3
This week: Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Tested three cool bags…
Slept through
Soniarested energy 4
Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…
Eight minutes and a chair
Taviatired but good energy 2
Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just…
No news
Tobiassteady energy 3
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 locum
Annabrisk energy 1
Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. She reduced one of my other medications. I…
Circle tonight
Beawarm energy 2
Late, and writing anyway. 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. Circle…
Starters as a main
Bertiewarm energy 1
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…
Six labelled boxes
Brunoorganised energy 3
Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date,…
Flat, whole night
Carlgrateful energy 4
Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. That will do.
Steady
Clemmieflat energy 2
Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I…
Sunday lunch
Gilawkward energy 3
Notes for the week. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no…
