  • Where the pen lives

    Gwen29 Nov 2024organised energy 4

    Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Two lines a day in a paper diary.…

  • Two lines a day

    Harlan29 Nov 2024organised energy 3

    Recording this for the record. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Two lines…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Harri29 Nov 2024held energy 1

    Recording this for the record. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it…

  • Starters as a main

    Inês29 Nov 2024warm energy 2

    Short one tonight. 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. Starters as…

  • The pattern of it

    Lil29 Nov 2024flat energy 4

    Evening. Very tired. Not the kind of tired a nap fixes. I slept nine hours and woke feeling as though I had been awake all night. Bad week and I am writing it down…

  • Nine minutes

    Martha29 Nov 2024brisk energy 2

    A brief account of the week. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Left with a printout I could not read and no…

  • My mother cooks

    Moss29 Nov 2024warm energy 5

    Sitting down to this properly 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…

  • I nearly did not write

    Ottoline29 Nov 2024steady energy 3

    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…

  • Two lines a day

    Rafe29 Nov 2024organised energy 2

    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 bin, and a plan for what…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Solomon29 Nov 2024held energy 3

    Three things this week. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the whole mechanism. Nobody has ever asked me…

  • Sunday lunch

    Stefan29 Nov 2024warm energy 4

    Notes for the week. 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. Starters…

  • I have started

    Stellan29 Nov 2024nervous energy 4turning point

    Recording this for the record. Nothing has happened yet, which nobody had warned me about. I think I expected to feel something immediately, and instead I made a cup…

  • A locum

    Tam29 Nov 2024brisk energy 5

    Three things this week. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and…

  • Two sessions

    Toby29 Nov 2024tired but good energy 3

    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 that matter and dropped…

  • Two sessions

    Lena28 Nov 2024tired but good energy 3

    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. Kept the two sessions that matter…

  • A wedding

    Brody28 Nov 2024warm energy 1

    This week: 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. A wedding.…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Col28 Nov 2024organised energy 5

    Quickly, before bed. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. New sharps bin,…

  • A different shape

    Gwenda28 Nov 2024tired energy 2

    Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the…

  • Back without making it up

    Hattie28 Nov 2024tired but good energy 3

    Short one tonight. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in March, and he…

  • Slept through

    Kez28 Nov 2024foggy energy 2

    Quickly, before bed. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten…

  • The list on the fridge

    Lu28 Nov 2024steady energy 1

    Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Got something with protein in before nine this…

  • Steady

    Mark28 Nov 2024flat energy 1

    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…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Mo28 Nov 2024tired but good energy 4

    Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost…

  • Across the day

    Ronan28 Nov 2024steady energy 5

    Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I…
