Come back in a year
Hannahpleased energy 3turning point
Short one tonight. A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. First set of bloods that her GP described as…
Before nine
Ikesteady energy 3
Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. I have found five things I can get down when…
Circle tonight
Olliewarm energy 1
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…
A new bin and a plan
Oskarorganised energy 3
Notes for the week. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Anchored…
An unremarkable week
Peggyfine energy 3
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 not write this week…
Off the floor
Priyapleased energy 2turning point
Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Swam a full length underwater, aged forty-four, having not swum since…
Two lengths, badly
Rillagrateful energy 4
Quick one. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning.…
No news
Ruthiefine energy 3
A brief account of the week. Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Next paper Sunday.
Awake at four
Soniatired energy 5
A gentle week, mostly. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other people in circle have the same and none of us can find anything…
Two lengths, badly
Wilfpleased energy 2
Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I started, and I have…
Walking
Zoëtired but good energy 3
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…
The bad fortnight
Lenasore energy 3
Notes for the week. Headache for three days running. It turned out I had barely drunk anything since Tuesday. Water, then a slow improvement, then feeling faintly…
Flat, whole night
Noahgrateful energy 3
Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about…
Before nine
Poppysteady energy 2
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, eggs, and…
An hour on the floor
Bramgrateful energy 1
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. Third Bram,…
Dreams
Brodyfoggy energy 2
This week: Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and…
Propped up on pillows
Clemmieflat energy 1
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Sore at the injection site for about ten days, a small firm lump under the skin. The pharmacist looked at it, was unbothered,…
Fewer, heavier
Gavinsteady energy 5turning point
A quiet week. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Started with a chair and a resistance band…
Quiet
Gilfine energy 1
Recording this for the record. 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…
Grip
Gillytired but good energy 1
Well then. 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. Eight minutes and a…
Somebody new
Izzywarm energy 4
Well then. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it land. The facilitator stopped…
A printout I cannot read
Jontyheard energy 2
She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which…
Awake at four
Junofoggy energy 3
Right. 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…
An hour on the floor
Maevegrateful energy 2
Well then. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Tomorrow, honestly.
