  • Fewer, heavier

    Mo3 Dec 2024tired but good energy 5

    Three things this week. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Kept the two sessions…

  • What is your secret

    Nolan3 Dec 2024warm energy 5

    Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I…

  • I nearly did not write

    Patrick3 Dec 2024fine energy 1

    Short one tonight. 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…

  • Fewer, heavier

    Sara3 Dec 2024tired but good energy 4

    Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Viv3 Dec 2024organised energy 5

    Right. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Small logistics win: worked out…

  • Quiet

    Rohan2 Dec 2024steady energy 4

    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. Nothing to report. Writing it…

  • Nothing to report

    Rowan2 Dec 2024steady energy 5

    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. An unremarkable…

  • A different shape

    Annika2 Dec 2024foggy energy 3

    Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I…

  • Starters as a main

    Dot2 Dec 2024warm energy 1

    Right. 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 at my…

  • Circle tonight

    Gilly2 Dec 2024warm energy 4

    Well then. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Went for the practical answers and stayed for…

  • Dreams

    Gus2 Dec 2024foggy energy 3

    Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the morning trying to work out what was different. Repeat study came back and the…

  • Two lines a day

    Ike2 Dec 2024organised energy 5

    This week: Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Small logistics win: worked…

  • Two lines a day

    Kai2 Dec 2024organised energy 2

    A gentle week, mostly. 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 against a…

  • The list on the fridge

    Minnie2 Dec 2024steady energy 4

    I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written them on the fridge. That list is the most useful thing I own. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and…

  • A wedding

    Ozzy2 Dec 2024awkward 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…

  • Stayed for the company

    Prue2 Dec 2024warm energy 3

    A brief account of the week. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It changed the…

  • Both bags, one go

    Dev1 Dec 2024grateful energy 1

    Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Tied my own…

  • She read the diary

    Flossie1 Dec 2024brisk energy 4

    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 read it…

  • An unremarkable week

    Odile1 Dec 2024fine energy 4

    A brief account of the week. Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Bonne soirée.

  • Stayed for the company

    Ollie1 Dec 2024warm energy 1

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It…

  • Where the pen lives

    Oskar1 Dec 2024organised energy 1

    Recording this for the record. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four…

  • Protein first

    Peggy1 Dec 2024steady energy 1

    This week: 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. Got…

  • Sunday lunch

    Rilla1 Dec 2024loved energy 5

    A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who noticed, and a very kind waiter who boxed it up without saying a word. Somebody asked what my secret…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Sam1 Dec 2024tired but good energy 3

    Notes for the week. 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 week…
