  • Nothing to report

    Fen6 Feb 2025fine energy 1

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Flat again. Good.

  • Somebody new

    Freya6 Feb 2025warm energy 3

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Somebody new tonight,…

  • No news

    Héloïse6 Feb 2025fine energy 5

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made…

  • Come back in a year

    Inês6 Feb 2025pleased energy 2

    Late, and writing anyway. Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at. Bloods back.…

  • Two lines a day

    Martha6 Feb 2025organised energy 3

    Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. New sharps bin, and a plan for what…

  • Quiet

    Nuala6 Feb 2025fine energy 3

    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 news. The dog…

  • Two sessions

    Sorrel6 Feb 2025tired but good energy 3

    This week: Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Kept the two sessions that matter…

  • My mother cooks

    Sonia6 Feb 2025loved energy 5

    Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people…

  • Frightened

    Tam6 Feb 2025frightened energy 5turning point

    The thing I want to say, to anybody reading this later: I nearly did not go. I had already talked myself into it being nothing. Please go. A week of upper abdominal…

  • Flat, whole night

    Zeb6 Feb 2025quietly delighted energy 3

    Week in order: Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Swam. First time since…

  • She noticed first

    Rohan5 Feb 2025held energy 4

    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. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five…

  • Slept through

    Rowan5 Feb 2025rested energy 3

    This week: Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two…

  • An unremarkable week

    Ambrose5 Feb 2025flat energy 1

    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.…

  • Nine minutes

    Bertie5 Feb 2025heard energy 5

    Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Left with a printout I could not read…

  • An hour on the floor

    Flossie5 Feb 2025grateful energy 3turning point

    Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Full ten-hour day, Valentine's week, no leg pain. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Gwyneth5 Feb 2025organised energy 3

    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 out where…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Maeve5 Feb 2025organised energy 3

    Right. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Two lines a day in a paper…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Ned5 Feb 2025organised energy 5

    Late, and writing anyway. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Tested…

  • Laces

    Ronan5 Feb 2025quietly delighted energy 2

    This week: 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 since 2021 and…

  • The overdue conversation

    Sadie5 Feb 2025pinched energy 3turning point

    What this has displaced in the budget: the car being fixed, and a holiday. I have decided that is the right trade for now and I reserve the right to change my mind. A…

  • A different shape

    Sara5 Feb 2025rested energy 2

    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 that I lay there in the…

  • Sunday lunch

    Solomon5 Feb 2025warm energy 4

    Week in order: 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. Starters…

  • A different shape

    Tilda5 Feb 2025tired energy 2

    Three things this week. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and…

  • Steady

    Tulla5 Feb 2025steady energy 2

    Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the…
