  • Flat, whole night

    Héloïse13 Dec 2024quietly delighted energy 2

  • Two sessions

    Lark13 Dec 2024tired but good energy 4

    A gentle week, mostly. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a…

  • It stopped appealing

    Moray13 Dec 2024thoughtful energy 4turning point

  • Six airports

    Ozzy13 Dec 2024knackered energy 5turning point

    Right. Hotel fridge froze everything on the first night. Second night: rolled towel, minibar off, thermometer in. Fine. Forty-one degrees and a cool bag that failed.…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Sara13 Dec 2024steady energy 1

  • An hour on the floor

    Tavia13 Dec 2024pleased energy 5

    Evening. 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. Sat on the floor and…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Ash12 Dec 2024organised energy 3

    Right. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four months. Tested three…

  • An unremarkable week

    Calla12 Dec 2024flat energy 2

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Lu12 Dec 2024quietly delighted energy 2

  • What is your secret

    Bel11 Dec 2024warm energy 3

    Short one tonight. 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…
