Ruthieorganised energy 5
A brief account of the week. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Tested three cool bags…
I nearly did not write
Soniafine energy 5
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. Quiet. Injection…
Sunday lunch
Tansyloved energy 5
Well then. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly, and I say thank you, and we manage. It is not a problem to be solved. Sunday lunch…
Two flights of stairs
Vivpleased energy 5
Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Walked into town and…
Quiet
Ambrosefine energy 2
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…
Protein first
Annikasteady energy 5
Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question…
An unremarkable week

Sore and slow
Kaiflat energy 1turning point
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Bad week and I am writing it down anyway, because a journal that only contains the good weeks would be a lie and no use to…
Stayed for the company
Kezwarm energy 2
Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were…
Nine minutes
Morayfrustrated energy 1
Well then. 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…
Laces
Nanpleased energy 4turning point
Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since 2021 and I did it twice more just to check. Walked to chapel and back. Swam.…
Dreams
Norahtired energy 3
Well then. 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 written…
Not writing about this would be dishonest
Odilerough energy 4turning point
A brief account of the week. Sore at the injection site for about ten days, a small firm lump under the skin. The pharmacist looked at it, was unbothered, and told me…
Six labelled boxes
Ottolineorganised energy 2
A brief account of the week. 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. New sharps…
Why are you not eating
Peggyclose energy 3
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 daughter. She asked…

Both bags, one go
Birdiegrateful energy 1
Evening. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I started,…
Two sessions
Doratired but good energy 3
Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back…
Nothing to report
Ephraimsteady energy 5
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…
