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 something in my journal before I…
Quiet
Harlanflat energy 3
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…
A plain question
Ikesteady energy 2
This week: 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. Was…

How are you doing on a Wednesday
Saoirseheld energy 2
A gentle week, mostly. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. She had a bad week and I had a fine one,…
Sunday lunch
Tavialoved energy 3turning point
Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. A long, warm, argumentative entry about food as love. Starters…

My mother cooks
Tobiaswarm energy 4
Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who noticed, and a very…
Circle tonight
Bexwarm energy 4
Quickly, before bed. 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…
I nearly did not write
Fenfine energy 4
Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Flat again. Good.
She stopped the room
Freyawarm energy 3
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. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an…

Nothing to report
Kezfine energy 3
Quickly, before bed. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on…
Where the pen lives
Nixpleased energy 3
Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Batch cooked on a good day for the…

A locum

Two flights of stairs
Tansypleased energy 3
Well then. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Swam. First time since…
The limits of yoghurt
Theasteady energy 4
Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits…
She reduced it
Tobyheard energy 2
Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. A locum who had clearly read nothing.…
Sunday night, four lines
Tullaheld energy 5

The pattern of it
Lenasore energy 2
Headache for three days running. It turned out I had barely drunk anything since Tuesday. Water, then a slow improvement, then feeling faintly stupid. Sore at the…
Propped up on pillows
Poppysore energy 2
Ten minutes then I am asleep. The nausea has a shape to it now. Thursday teatime it starts, Friday it peaks, Saturday afternoon it lifts. Once I could see the pattern…
