  • No mask

    Mina1 Nov 2024foggy energy 4

    Late, and writing anyway. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Slept through. Whole night,…

  • Stayed for the company

    Bea1 Nov 2024warm energy 4

    Short one tonight. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Somebody new tonight, terrified,…

  • A wedding

    Bertie1 Nov 2024warm energy 4

    A brief account of the week. 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,…

  • Nothing to report

    Carl1 Nov 2024fine energy 2

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Dot1 Nov 2024steady energy 4

    Right. 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. Greek yoghurt,…

  • Back without making it up

    Gilly1 Nov 2024tired but good energy 4

    Right. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Gwyneth1 Nov 2024quietly delighted energy 4

    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. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of…

  • Protein first

    Inês1 Nov 2024steady energy 3

    Short one tonight. 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…

  • Grip

    Lil1 Nov 2024tired but good energy 2

    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. Two sessions this week, both…

  • The list on the fridge

    Moss1 Nov 2024steady energy 1

    A gentle week, mostly. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Got something with…

  • What is your secret

    Ned1 Nov 2024loved energy 3

    A quiet week. 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…

  • The list on the fridge

    Posy1 Nov 2024steady energy 1

    This 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…

  • She reduced it

    Ronan1 Nov 2024frustrated energy 1

    This week: Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Asked the question I had been…

  • The list on the fridge

    Tilda1 Nov 2024steady energy 2

    Three things this 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.…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Ambrose31 Oct 2024organised energy 2

    A brief account of the week. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Two…

  • First dose, done

    Bly31 Oct 2024hopeful energy 2

    Short one tonight. I want to write this down before I forget how frightened I was, because I suspect in three months I will not believe it. Twenty minutes of standing…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Bo31 Oct 2024held energy 5

    Short one tonight. 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…

  • Back without making it up

    Brody31 Oct 2024tired but good energy 1

    This week: 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 bus all week.…

  • Quiet

    Fen31 Oct 2024flat energy 5

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

  • What is your secret

    Gigi31 Oct 2024awkward energy 2

    Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working…

  • First dose, done

    Juno31 Oct 2024hopeful energy 2

    Right. I told one person. Not my mother, not work. One person, and only because she asked me a direct question at the right moment. Nothing has happened yet, which…

  • Before nine

    Norah31 Oct 2024steady energy 3

    Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written them…

  • The first one

    Ravi31 Oct 2024wired energy 2

    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…

  • Two sessions

    Tam31 Oct 2024tired but good energy 5

    Three things this week. 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,…
