Anchored to the shifts
Nualaorganised energy 5
Right. 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 am that person.…
An unremarkable week
Sorrelfine energy 2
Steady. That is the whole entry. 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…
Stayed for the company
Tildawarm energy 1
Week in order: 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 whole hour. Went…
Back without making it up
Winnietired but good energy 5
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…
Stayed for the company
Wystanwarm energy 3
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…
Beginning, badly
Lucashopeful energy 1turning point
Right. Day one. I am writing this partly because somebody else's day-one entry is the reason I felt able to do it at all, and it seems only fair to leave one behind.…
Past the shop
Minathoughtful energy 2
I did not know other people did not have this. That is the part I keep turning over. I assumed everybody was doing the same negotiation all day and simply not…
Circle tonight
Bowarm energy 5
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 the…
Circle tonight
Harriwarm energy 3
Notes for the week. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Somebody new tonight, terrified,…
A printout I cannot read
Hollyheard energy 1
She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it…
Stayed for the company
Iveswarm energy 4
Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it land. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an…
Unpleasant, not dangerous
Keeleysore energy 2turning point
Late, and writing anyway. Reflux again. I slept propped up on three pillows and woke at two anyway. I have an appointment on Thursday and I am going to actually…
What was underneath
Maryamunsettled energy 5turning point
Went past the shop I always go into and simply did not go in. Not resisted. Did not occur to me. I stood outside for a moment afterwards trying to work out what had…
A rough few days
Rinsore energy 4
Ten minutes then I am asleep. The burping. Nobody mentions the burping. It is not in any leaflet and it is genuinely one of the odder experiences of my adult life.…
Paired
Pamheld 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. My buddy noticed something in my journal…
Sore and slow
Pippasore energy 5
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Bad week and I am writing it down anyway, because a journal that only contains the good weeks would be a lie and no use to…
A locum
Ruthiebrisk energy 3
Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Nine minutes. I took three written questions…
What is your secret
Saoirseawkward energy 4
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. A wedding. Three…
I nearly did not write
Theaflat energy 4
A brief account of the week. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. I nearly did not write this week because there was…
Both bags, one go
Zebquietly delighted energy 5
Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened…
Quiet
Annafine energy 3
Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my…
Somebody new
Annikasteadied energy 1
A quiet week. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly…
We used to eat together
Beltender energy 1turning point
Late, and writing anyway. He does the injection. I look at the wall. It is one of the more tender things in our life and I would not have predicted that. Told him. It…
No mask
Bertierested energy 1
The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying…
