A different shape
Rohanrested energy 3
Recording this for the record. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been…
Eight hours of difference
Ariaknackered energy 2turning point
Time difference of eight hours and a weekly dose. Moved it forward by two hours a day rather than all at once, on my GP's suggestion. Auckland to London with a cool…
The bad fortnight
Brodysore energy 1
This week: Headache for three days running. It turned out I had barely drunk anything since Tuesday. Water, then a slow improvement, then feeling faintly stupid. Very…
An unremarkable week
Bunnyflat energy 3
Evening. Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Breakfast shift.
Across the day
Cloversteady energy 1turning point
Evening. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Solved it and wrote up every meal. Spread…
A wedding
Heddaloved energy 3
Recording this for the record. 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.…
Back
Izzyrelieved energy 4turning point
Back. Eight months away and I arrived braced for a judgement that has not come from a single person. Restarted when a job started. The shame about the gap was worse…
Propped up on pillows
Jontyrough energy 2turning point
A brief account of the week. Bad week and I am writing it down anyway, because a journal that only contains the good weeks would be a lie and no use to anybody…
Steady
Junofine energy 3
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 week running.…
My mother cooks
Larkawkward energy 1
A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who noticed, and a very kind waiter who boxed it up without saying a word. Somebody asked what my secret…
Three cool bags and a thermometer
Maeveorganised energy 4
Well then. 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…
Stayed for the company
Moraywarm energy 2
Well then. 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. Somebody…
Off the floor
Rillapleased energy 4
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. Chopper Tuesday.
Anchored to the shifts
Romyorganised energy 1
Late, and writing anyway. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend…

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…
A new bin and a plan
Sorrelpleased energy 5turning point
This week: New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Cold storage off-grid, solved and documented. Two lines a day in a paper diary.…
Six labelled boxes
Winnieorganised energy 3
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Small logistics…
No news
Yannickflat energy 2
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…
The list on the fridge
Noahsteady energy 1
Right. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written them on the fridge. That list is the most useful thing I own. Greek yoghurt,…
An unremarkable week
Aleksflat energy 1
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. I nearly did not…
Flat, whole night
Annikaquietly delighted energy 4
Late, and writing anyway. 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…
Paired
Bayheld energy 2
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,…

What is your secret
Blywarm energy 2
Short one tonight. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who noticed, and a very kind waiter who boxed it up without saying a word. Starters as…
