  • Paired

    Hedda28 Dec 2024held energy 2

    Notes for 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. Nobody has ever asked…

  • Before nine

    Héloïse28 Dec 2024steady 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. I have found five…

  • Both bags, one go

    Inês28 Dec 2024pleased energy 4

    Short one tonight. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Got…

  • Quiet

    Kez28 Dec 2024steady energy 3

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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…

  • A different shape

    Marit28 Dec 2024tired energy 2

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

  • Nothing to report

    Norah28 Dec 2024fine energy 2

    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…

  • I nearly did not write

    Pippa28 Dec 2024steady energy 2

    A gentle week, mostly. 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…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Prue28 Dec 2024held energy 3

    A brief account of the week. 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. Nobody has ever…

  • Two lines a day

    Ruthie28 Dec 2024organised energy 4

    Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That is the entire system and it has twice changed a clinical decision. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad…

  • Nine minutes

    Tam28 Dec 2024frustrated energy 3

    Week in order: Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked…

  • Sore and slow

    Lena27 Dec 2024sore energy 1

    Reflux again. I slept propped up on three pillows and woke at two anyway. I have an appointment on Thursday and I am going to actually mention it this time rather…

  • Standing in the kitchen

    Aleks27 Dec 2024hopeful energy 3

    The leaflet is nine pages and about seven of them are worst cases. I have read it three times, which was three times too many, and I am now going to stop reading it.…

  • Steady

    Bo27 Dec 2024flat energy 2

    A quiet 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 plain question

    Brody27 Dec 2024steady energy 1

    Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Clover27 Dec 2024pleased energy 1

    Evening. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not…

  • She stopped the room

    Gavin27 Dec 2024warm energy 5

    Late, and writing anyway. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly…

  • Dreams

    Gigi27 Dec 2024tired energy 5

    Evening. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much…

  • Nine minutes

    Gwenda27 Dec 2024heard energy 2

    This week: Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. Took the diary in. She…

  • Where the pen lives

    Gwyneth27 Dec 2024organised energy 4

    This week: Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Two lines a day in a paper…

  • No news

    Jonty27 Dec 2024fine energy 3

    A brief account of the week. 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…

  • An hour on the floor

    Lil27 Dec 2024grateful energy 2

    Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I started, and I have now done it. Walked into town and back, which I stopped…

  • Told her

    Peggy27 Dec 2024prickly energy 2

    This week: My son asked why I was not eating my dinner. I gave him a bad answer, thought about it all evening, and gave him a better one on Saturday. Told my…

  • Day one

    Tinuke27 Dec 2024hopeful energy 4turning point

    Evening. Nothing has happened yet, which nobody had warned me about. I think I expected to feel something immediately, and instead I made a cup of tea and put a wash…
