She stopped the room
Poppywarm energy 4
Quickly, before bed. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. The facilitator stopped the room when four of…
Fewer, heavier
Bertietired but good energy 1
Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps…
My mother cooks
Dillyloved energy 1
Evening. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long…
A1c down
Hannahpleased energy 1
Late, and writing anyway. A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said,…
Steady
Huwflat 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…
Sunday night, four lines
Morayheld energy 1
Well then. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines…
Nine minutes
Olliefrustrated energy 1turning point
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an…
Off the floor
Ronanquietly delighted energy 2
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. Tied my own laces standing up. I am…
I nearly did not write
Salmasteady energy 1
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…
Stayed for the company
Zebwarm energy 4
Week in order: The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It changed the whole hour.…
An unremarkable week
Noahsteady energy 3
Right. 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. Quiet.…
Circle tonight
Callawarm energy 2
Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the…

Sunday lunch
Fenawkward energy 1
This week: Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly, and…
Under the ribs and round the back
Harlanfrightened energy 1turning point
Recording this for the record. Dizzy standing up, twice, badly enough that I sat down on the pavement. It was dehydration. I had not understood that you can get to…
Nothing carried over
Ikecareful energy 3turning point
This week: Different device, different numbers, same medicine. Nothing about the old routine carried over and I had assumed all of it would. Switched to a licensed…
Grip
Keeleytired but good energy 3
Short one tonight. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Grip strength has gone off and I…
Grip
Nantired but good energy 1
This week: 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…
Paired
Rillaheld energy 4
Quick one. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. My buddy noticed something in…
Two flights of stairs
Soniaquietly delighted energy 1
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…
Two lines a day
Tobyorganised energy 2
Quickly, before bed. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in…
Fewer, heavier
Lenatired but good energy 2
Recording this for the record. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost…
Where the pen lives
Lucasorganised energy 1
Right. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. New sharps bin, and a plan for…
Steady
Ambrosesteady energy 5
A brief account of the week. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather…
