  • Paired

  • Fewer, heavier

    Rafe15 Feb 2025tired but good energy 3

    A brief account of the 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. Two…

  • I nearly did not write

    Thea15 Feb 2025flat energy 3

  • Two flights of stairs

    Tilda15 Feb 2025quietly delighted energy 1

    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. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing.…

  • The question I had been avoiding

    Lucas14 Feb 2025heard energy 1

  • Unpleasant, not dangerous

    Bex14 Feb 2025flat energy 5turning point

  • No mask

    Birdie14 Feb 2025rested energy 2

    Evening. 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,…

  • Off the floor

    Bo14 Feb 2025quietly delighted energy 2

    A quiet week. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Clemmie14 Feb 2025organised energy 5

    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. Two lines a day in a…

  • Sunday lunch

  • From the inside

    Jonah said something to me in circle that I did not want to hear. He said it once, kindly, in front of everybody, and then he did not say it again. Jonah named…

  • What is your secret

    Ash13 Feb 2025warm energy 1

    Well then. 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. Somebody asked…
