  • Sunday night, four lines

    Lark19 Dec 2024held energy 1

    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 each, and…

  • Steady

    Marnie19 Dec 2024fine 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. Quiet. Injection…

  • She read the diary

    Peggy19 Dec 2024heard energy 3

    Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was…

  • What is your secret

    Sadie19 Dec 2024loved energy 4

    Quickly, before bed. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Solomon19 Dec 2024held energy 1

    Week in order: Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle…

  • Nothing to report

    Stefan19 Dec 2024fine energy 2

    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 printout I cannot read

    Toby19 Dec 2024frustrated energy 1

    Quickly, before bed. 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. Nine minutes. I took…

  • A plain question

    Anna18 Dec 2024steady energy 1

    A brief account of the week. 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…

  • Nine minutes

    Lena18 Dec 2024frustrated energy 2

    Notes for the week. 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. Asked the question I had…

  • No news

    Ambrose18 Dec 2024steady energy 2

    A brief account of the week. Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No…

  • Across the day

    Bo18 Dec 2024steady energy 2

    Late, and writing anyway. 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…

  • Nothing to report

    Bruno18 Dec 2024fine energy 3

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken…

    Dilly18 Dec 2024fine energy 5

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Dot18 Dec 2024tired but good energy 4

    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 programme. Just walking. Eight…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Gigi18 Dec 2024organised energy 2

    Evening. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Anchored injection day to my…

  • A plain question

    Gilly18 Dec 2024steady energy 4

    Right. 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…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Hattie18 Dec 2024organised energy 3

    Late, and writing anyway. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four…

  • Pausing

    Izzy18 Dec 2024clear-eyed energy 3turning point

    Did the arithmetic out loud, on the page, no rounding. It is a lot. Seeing it written down was steadying rather than frightening, which I had not expected. Paused for…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Maeve18 Dec 2024held energy 1

    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, and next month it will be…

  • Off the floor

    Nan18 Dec 2024grateful energy 3

    This week: Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and…

  • Dreams

    Pippa18 Dec 2024foggy energy 4

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the morning trying to work out what was…

  • Steady

    Ravi18 Dec 2024steady energy 3

    Notes for the week. 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. Steady. That…

  • She read the diary

    Wilf18 Dec 2024brisk energy 4turning point

    This week: She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Blood pressure medication reduced. Left with a printout I could…
