  • Back without making it up

    Gigi2 Jan 2025tired but good energy 4

    Evening. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped…

  • Nothing to report

    Gilly2 Jan 2025flat energy 2

    Right. Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the…

  • A plain question

    Hannah2 Jan 2025steady energy 5

    A quiet week. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Got something with protein in before nine this morning,…

  • Slept through

    Héloïse2 Jan 2025foggy energy 5

    Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask.…

  • My mother cooks

    Keeley2 Jan 2025warm energy 5

    Short one tonight. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still…

  • She stopped the room

    Ned2 Jan 2025warm energy 4

    Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring.…

  • Sunday lunch

    Nolan2 Jan 2025warm energy 2

    This week: Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out…

  • Fewer, heavier

    Ollie2 Jan 2025tired but good energy 4

    A gentle week, mostly. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a…

  • Walking

    Rin2 Jan 2025tired but good energy 5

    Quickly, before bed. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a…

  • An hour on the floor

    Rafe2 Jan 2025grateful energy 2

    Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do…

  • A different shape

    Romy2 Jan 2025tired energy 3

    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…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Ruthie2 Jan 2025pleased energy 3

    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. Carried both bags up in one go.…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Sara2 Jan 2025organised energy 1

    New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That is the entire system and it…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Anna1 Jan 2025organised energy 5

    A brief account of 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. Batch…

  • I nearly did not write

    Noah1 Jan 2025fine energy 5

    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…

  • Slept through

    Ambrose1 Jan 2025rested energy 4

    A brief account of the week. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved.…

  • The question I had been avoiding

    Annika1 Jan 2025brisk energy 2

    A quiet week. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. Left with a printout I…

  • Laces

    Ash1 Jan 2025pleased energy 1

    Well then. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Ashwin1 Jan 2025steady energy 1

    Three things this week. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at…

  • Nothing to report

    Bertie1 Jan 2025steady energy 3

    A brief account of the week. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been…

  • Steady

    Bridie1 Jan 2025flat energy 3

    This week: 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.…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Bruno1 Jan 2025heard 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…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Calla1 Jan 2025frustrated energy 2

    Late, and writing anyway. 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. Left with a…

  • Nothing to report

    Dot1 Jan 2025steady energy 1

    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. Steady. That is the…
