  • Into town and back

    Nettie29 Jan 2025quietly delighted 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. Tied my own laces…

  • Awake at four

    Ash28 Jan 2025tired energy 2

    Right. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake,…

  • Dreams

    Carl28 Jan 2025rested energy 5

    This week: 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…

  • Awake at four

    Cass28 Jan 2025rested energy 4

    Notes for the week. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Waking at four again. Not anxious,…

  • Steady

    Cato28 Jan 2025steady energy 1

    Steady. That is the whole entry. 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.…

  • Six labelled boxes

    Fen28 Jan 2025organised energy 3

    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 for what happens to it when I…

  • A locum

    Florrie28 Jan 2025brisk energy 1

    Evening. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not…

  • Steady

    Harlan28 Jan 2025fine energy 5

    Notes for the week. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. I nearly did not write this week because there…

  • Steady

    Harri28 Jan 2025steady energy 4

    Notes for 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. I nearly did…

  • She noticed first

    Héloïse28 Jan 2025held energy 3

    A brief account of the week. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. She had a bad…

  • No news

    Kai28 Jan 2025flat energy 1

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Nothing to report. Writing it…

  • A plain question

    Lu28 Jan 2025steady energy 3

    Quickly, before bed. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Protein first, everything else after. It is not…

  • Grip

    Moss28 Jan 2025tired but good energy 3

    A gentle week, mostly. 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…

  • What is your secret

    Odile28 Jan 2025awkward energy 2

    Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can,…

  • Both bags, one go

    Rafe28 Jan 2025pleased energy 4

    Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I…

  • An unremarkable week

    Rilla28 Jan 2025steady energy 1

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken…

  • A different shape

    Sam28 Jan 2025tired energy 1

    The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying…

  • She stopped the room

    Winnie28 Jan 2025warm energy 4

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Circle tonight. Eight of us,…

  • I nearly did not write

    Rohan27 Jan 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…

  • She reduced it

    Annika27 Jan 2025frustrated energy 1

    Late, and writing anyway. 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…

  • Quiet

    Clemmie27 Jan 2025fine energy 4

    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 plain question

    Esme27 Jan 2025steady energy 2

    Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had actually eaten in the last two days and I heard my own answer. Protein first,…

  • Quiet

    Flossie27 Jan 2025steady energy 4

    Evening. 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. An…

  • Six labelled boxes

    Gilly27 Jan 2025organised energy 3

    Well then. 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. Batch…
