  • Where the pen lives

    Bel8 Feb 2026organised energy 3

    Late, and writing anyway. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the…

  • Back without making it up

    Viv8 Feb 2026tired but good energy 3

    Right. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in March, and he is…

  • Protein first

    Bridie7 Feb 2026steady energy 5

    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. Protein first,…

  • Quiet

    Cass7 Feb 2026flat energy 1

    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 weeks. No news. The dog is…

  • Two sessions

    Wilf7 Feb 2026tired but good energy 4

    This week: Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in March, and he is…

  • Off the floor

    Dilly6 Feb 2026grateful energy 4

    Evening. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Busy Saturday.

  • A plain question

    Petua6 Feb 2026steady energy 1

    A quiet week. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain…

  • No project

    Winnie6 Feb 2026content energy 2turning point

    A gentle week, mostly. Two years. My only news is that there is no news, and I have come back specifically to say so, because nobody wrote this part down for me.…

  • Three years side by side

    Aleks5 Feb 2026pleased energy 3

    Short one tonight. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight was not subtle. Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a…

  • Before nine

    Nell5 Feb 2026steady energy 1

    Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Gwen5 Feb 2026organised energy 5

    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 diary.…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Mark5 Feb 2026held energy 5

    Quickly, before bed. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly…

  • Two lines a day

    Nan5 Feb 2026organised energy 2

    This week: 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…

  • Iron and B12

    Toby5 Feb 2026relieved energy 5turning point

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight was not subtle. Fine. Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Ephraim4 Feb 2026organised energy 1

    A brief account of 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…

  • Steady

    Nolan4 Feb 2026flat energy 3

    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…

  • She noticed first

    Tarn4 Feb 2026held energy 4

    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. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights,…

  • Paired

    A brief account of the 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. My buddy noticed…

  • The list on the fridge

    Rowan3 Feb 2026steady energy 3

    Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Spread it across the day instead of trying to…

  • Dreams

    Bodhi3 Feb 2026rested energy 2

    The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Dot3 Feb 2026steady 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,…

  • Two sessions

    Espe3 Feb 2026tired but good energy 2

    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. Kept the two sessions that matter…

  • Nothing to report

    Inês3 Feb 2026steady energy 4

    Short one tonight. 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…
