  • Fewer, heavier

    Sonia28 Nov 2024tired but good energy 2

    A gentle week, mostly. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Walked instead of the…

  • Quiet

    Tulla28 Nov 2024flat energy 5

    This week: Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well,…

  • The list on the fridge

    Bel27 Nov 2024steady energy 4

    A quiet week. 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. Protein…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Bex27 Nov 2024organised energy 3

    Quickly, before bed. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I…

  • Nothing to report

    Bly27 Nov 2024flat energy 4

    A quiet 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. Steady.…

  • Nothing to report

    Fen27 Nov 2024flat energy 1

    This week: Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Flat again. Good.

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Gilly27 Nov 2024organised energy 3

    Right. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen…

  • Sunday lunch

    Gwyneth27 Nov 2024awkward energy 2

    Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was…

  • My mother cooks

    Juniper27 Nov 2024loved energy 2

    Well then. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Starters as a main course, permanently. No…

  • Back without making it up

    Lark27 Nov 2024tired but good energy 5

    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 is annoyingly…

  • No mask

    Marnie27 Nov 2024rested energy 2

    A quiet week. 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. Vivid dreams, every…

  • No news

    Ted27 Nov 2024flat energy 4

    This week: An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by…

  • A locum

    Tobias27 Nov 2024heard energy 5

    Notes for the week. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Took the diary in. She…

  • An unremarkable week

    Ambrose26 Nov 2024flat energy 1

    A brief account of the week. 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.…

  • The question I had been avoiding

    Ash26 Nov 2024frustrated energy 1

    Well then. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got…

  • The pattern of it

    Bay26 Nov 2024flat energy 4

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Constipation, which I have avoided writing about for six weeks out of pure squeamishness. It is the thing making me most…

  • I nearly did not write

    Bunny26 Nov 2024steady energy 2

    Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Breakfast shift.

  • Starters as a main

    Duncan26 Nov 2024awkward energy 3

    Week in order: Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate,…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Freya26 Nov 2024pleased energy 2

    Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Up the stairs at work…

  • She noticed first

    Gavin26 Nov 2024held energy 4

    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. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I…

  • Off the floor

    Hannah26 Nov 2024pleased energy 2

    Short one tonight. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Up the…

    Huw26 Nov 2024fine energy 1

    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. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild…

  • The first one

    Maeve26 Nov 2024hopeful energy 4turning point

    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.…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Moray26 Nov 2024held energy 4

    Right. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about…
