  • I have started

    Tilda13 Nov 2024hopeful energy 5

    Three things this week. 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…

  • An unremarkable week

    Toby13 Nov 2024flat energy 1

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild…

  • Sunday lunch

    Tulla13 Nov 2024awkward energy 3

    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. Starters as a main…

  • She noticed first

    Zeb13 Nov 2024held energy 5

    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…

  • I nearly did not write

    Noah12 Nov 2024fine energy 2

    Well then. 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.…

  • Nothing to report

    Florrie12 Nov 2024steady energy 2

    Evening. 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. Nothing to…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Harlan12 Nov 2024held energy 1

    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 has quietly become the most…

  • Two lines a day

    Hedda12 Nov 2024organised energy 3

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

  • A different shape

    Keeley12 Nov 2024rested energy 3

    The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so…

  • Grip

    Lu12 Nov 2024tired but good energy 1

    Quickly, before bed. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Two sessions this week,…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Martha12 Nov 2024held energy 1

    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 it.…

  • Unpleasant, not dangerous

    Pippa12 Nov 2024flat energy 5turning point

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. The nausea has a shape to it now. Thursday teatime it starts, Friday it peaks, Saturday afternoon it lifts. Once I could see…

  • Nothing to report

    Sam12 Nov 2024fine energy 3

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I…

  • Unpleasant, not dangerous

    Ted12 Nov 2024rough energy 1turning point

    Cramp in both calves in the night, twice this week. Mentioned it and had bloods done rather than being told to eat a banana, which I appreciated. A bad month he…

  • Standing in the kitchen

    Anna11 Nov 2024wired energy 4

    A brief account of the week. 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…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Bel11 Nov 2024organised energy 3

    Late, and writing anyway. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four…

  • No news

    Bex11 Nov 2024steady energy 4

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. I nearly did not write this week…

  • Not writing about this would be dishonest

    Bo11 Nov 2024rough energy 4turning point

    A quiet week. 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 mention it this…

  • Laces

    Brody11 Nov 2024quietly delighted energy 1

    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. Got down on the floor and back up again…

  • No news

    Bunny11 Nov 2024fine energy 4

    Evening. 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…

  • No news

    Ike11 Nov 2024fine energy 2

    Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of…

  • Into town and back

    Mark11 Nov 2024quietly delighted energy 3turning point

    Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an idiot. Nobody saw. It counted. Carried his daughter upstairs…

  • Where the pen lives

    Moss11 Nov 2024organised energy 1

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle.…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Ollie11 Nov 2024organised energy 4

    A gentle week, mostly. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the…
