  • I nearly did not write

    Héloïse11 Feb 2025steady energy 4

    A brief account of the week. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I thought about how much I have got out of other people's boring…

  • A different shape

    Ives11 Feb 2025foggy energy 3

    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.…

  • Stayed for the company

    Keeley11 Feb 2025warm energy 1

    A quiet week. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Lark11 Feb 2025organised energy 3

    A gentle week, mostly. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Batch cooked on a…

  • A rough few days

    Maeve11 Feb 2025sore energy 1turning point

    Well then. Cramp in both calves in the night, twice this week. Mentioned it and had bloods done rather than being told to eat a banana, which I appreciated.…

  • Off the floor

    Ollie11 Feb 2025pleased energy 1

    A gentle week, mostly. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since 2021 and I did it twice more just to check. Carried both…

  • Circle tonight

    Ossian11 Feb 2025warm energy 5

    Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were…

  • Flat, whole night

    Ottoline11 Feb 2025pleased energy 2

    Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the…

  • I nearly did not write

    Pippa11 Feb 2025flat energy 1

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I thought about how much I have got out of other…

  • No mask

    Rilla11 Feb 2025rested energy 1

    Quick one. 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…

  • A locum

    Ruthie11 Feb 2025heard energy 5

    Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Nine minutes. I took three written questions…

  • Three years side by side

    Solomon11 Feb 2025relieved energy 5

    Week in order: 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…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Sorrel11 Feb 2025heard energy 5

    This week: A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what I needed, and I have booked with my own GP for next month. Asked the question I had been…

  • Nothing to report

    Tarn11 Feb 2025flat energy 5

    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…

  • A locum

    Toby11 Feb 2025frustrated energy 1

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Asked the…

  • Steady

    Anna10 Feb 2025flat energy 5

    A brief account of the week. Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks…

  • Into town and back

    Ambrose10 Feb 2025pleased energy 3turning point

    A brief account of the week. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since 2021 and I did it twice more just to check.…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Bertie10 Feb 2025held energy 3

    My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before.…

  • Both bags, one go

    Bo10 Feb 2025quietly delighted energy 4turning point

    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. Swam through February. Wrote fifteen words.…

  • Two lines a day

    Nell10 Feb 2025organised energy 5

    A quiet week. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge…

  • No news

    Brody10 Feb 2025fine energy 2

    Steady. That is the whole entry. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I thought about how much I have got out of other people's…

  • Steady

    Calla10 Feb 2025fine energy 1

    Late, and writing anyway. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I thought about how much I have got out of other people's boring…

  • A different shape

    Carl10 Feb 2025tired energy 3

    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, the sort…

  • Quiet

    Cato10 Feb 2025steady energy 3

    This week: An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Steady. That is the whole entry. Done talking.
