  • I nearly did not write

    Bly30 Jan 2025flat energy 4

    Short one tonight. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I…

  • Quiet

    Bridie30 Jan 2025steady energy 5

    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. Nothing to report.…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Dev30 Jan 2025organised energy 5

    Recording this for the record. 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…

  • No news

    Ephraim30 Jan 2025fine energy 5

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then…

  • Laces

    Gwenda30 Jan 2025grateful energy 4

    This week: Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an idiot. Nobody saw. It counted. Got down on the floor…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Huw30 Jan 2025held energy 2

    This week: 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 become the…

  • A different shape

    Ike30 Jan 2025tired energy 1

    Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other…

  • An hour on the floor

    Juniper30 Jan 2025grateful energy 5

    Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Up the…

  • Back without making it up

    Lark30 Jan 2025tired but good energy 2

    Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost…

  • Sunday lunch

    Ned30 Jan 2025warm energy 4

    Short one tonight. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Starters as a main course, permanently. No…

  • She noticed first

    Salma30 Jan 2025held energy 3

    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. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a…

  • Two sessions

    Solomon30 Jan 2025tired but good energy 4

  • An hour on the floor

    Ray29 Jan 2025grateful energy 5

    Well then. 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. Up the stairs at work twice without…

  • A1c down

    Gus29 Jan 2025relieved energy 4

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. Bloods back. Unremarkable,…

  • A locum

    Izzy29 Jan 2025frustrated energy 5

    Well then. 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. Nine minutes. I took three…

  • The list on the fridge

    Marnie29 Jan 2025steady energy 4
