A gentle week, mostly. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Two sessions this week, both short, both done.…
Grip
Marittired but good energy 1
This week: Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that used to end it for me every time. Grip strength has gone…
I nearly did not write
Mosteady energy 1
Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most…
Two flights of stairs

Right. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever…
Protein first

An hour on the floor
Tarngrateful energy 4
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 played for an…
Off the floor
Ambrosequietly delighted energy 1
A brief account of the week. 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. Got down on the…
A plain question
Nellpractical energy 1turning point
A quiet week. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Undereating badly without noticing, caught by her practice nurse. I have…
Fewer, heavier
Hattietired but good energy 1
Late, and writing anyway. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Two sessions this week, both…
I nearly did not write
Huwfine energy 4
This week: 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. No news. The…
Propped up on pillows
Keeleyflat energy 4

Circle tonight
Nualawarm energy 5
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…

Sitting down to this properly tonight. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's…
Sunday night, four lines

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…
She read the diary

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…

Paired
Annaheld energy 2
Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. She had a bad week and I had a fine one,…
First dose, done

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.…
Before nine
Bunnypractical energy 2turning point
Evening. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Started eating properly at work,…
Dreams
Dorarested energy 3
Three things this week. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved.…
