Sunday night, four lines
Lenaheld energy 4
Notes for the 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. My buddy noticed something in…
No mask
Poppyrested energy 1
Quickly, before bed. 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. The sleep has…
A wedding
Gigiawkward energy 4turning point
Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Sunday lunch, negotiated with love and without lying. Somebody asked what…
Two lines a day
Gwendaorganised energy 1
Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four months. New sharps bin, and a…
The first one
Harlanhopeful energy 3
Recording this for the record. 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…
The question I had been avoiding
Hollybrisk energy 5turning point
Late, and writing anyway. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. A menopause…
Steady
Lusteady energy 2
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been…
Steady
Maplesteady energy 3
Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…
A new bin and a plan
Nedorganised energy 4
New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That is the entire system and it…
Awake at four
Nettierested energy 5
This week: Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other people in circle have the same and none of us can find anything written…
Unpleasant, not dangerous
Nixflat energy 4turning point
Notes for the week. The nausea has a shape to it now. Thursday teatime it starts, Friday it peaks, Saturday afternoon it lifts. Once I could see the pattern it…
No news
Ravifine energy 1
Notes for the week. 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…
No news
Rillaflat energy 3
Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Chopper Tuesday.
Fewer, heavier
Samtired but good energy 4
Recording this for the record. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in…
I have started
Sorrelnervous energy 1turning point
Nothing has happened yet, which nobody had warned me about. I think I expected to feel something immediately, and instead I made a cup of tea and put a wash on. A…
Dreams
Tansytired energy 3
Right. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there…
Quiet
Tobyfine energy 1
Quickly, before bed. 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…
What was underneath
Minathoughtful energy 5turning point
Late, and writing anyway. Something has gone quiet and it took me weeks to be able to name it. There was a running commentary in my head about food — what was in the…
I have started
Cloverwired energy 1turning point
I told one person. Not my mother, not work. One person, and only because she asked me a direct question at the right moment. A first entry worried about protein.…
She noticed first
Devheld 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…
Two lengths, badly
Gavinquietly delighted energy 3
A quiet 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. Up the stairs at work twice…
Stayed for the company
Larkwarm energy 1
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…
No mask
Maritrested energy 1
This week: Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the…
Standing in the kitchen
Solomonhopeful energy 3
Week in order: So. First one done. I had been carrying the box around the house for four days like it was something I had borrowed and needed to give back, and in the…
