  • A printout I cannot read

    Bunny28 Oct 2024frustrated 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. She reduced one of my other medications. I…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Flossie28 Oct 2024pleased energy 2

    Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at…

  • Walking

    Gus28 Oct 2024tired but good energy 2

    A gentle week, mostly. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a…

  • Quiet

    Gwenda28 Oct 2024fine energy 1

    This week: 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. I…

  • Walking

    Lu28 Oct 2024tired but good energy 2

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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 nearly did not write

    Moray28 Oct 2024steady energy 3

    Well then. 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. Quiet.…

  • Grip

    Pam28 Oct 2024tired but good energy 4

    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…

  • I nearly did not write

    Pippa28 Oct 2024steady energy 1

    A gentle week, mostly. 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…

  • First dose, done

    Rilla28 Oct 2024wired energy 2

    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 there. Then eight…

  • I nearly did not write

    Saoirse28 Oct 2024flat energy 1

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked,…

  • A plain question

    Sara28 Oct 2024steady energy 3

    Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits…

  • Nothing to report

    Ted28 Oct 2024fine 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…

  • An unremarkable week

    Mina27 Oct 2024fine energy 4

    Short one tonight. Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Until Monday.

  • Flat, again

    Annika27 Oct 2024stubborn energy 3

    Nothing. Eleven weeks of nothing. I know intellectually that nothing is not a failure, and I am finding that intellectual knowledge worth approximately nothing this…

  • The list on the fridge

    Hedda27 Oct 2024steady energy 3

    Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had…

  • Before nine

    Ives27 Oct 2024steady energy 3

    Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Ollie27 Oct 2024quietly delighted energy 4

    A gentle week, mostly. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Got…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Rin27 Oct 2024tired but good energy 4

    Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two…

  • Two sessions

    Ottoline27 Oct 2024tired but good energy 3

    A brief account of the week. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were…

  • She stopped the room

    Tarn27 Oct 2024warm energy 1

    This week: Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were…

  • Six labelled boxes

    Ambrose26 Oct 2024organised energy 1

    Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That is the entire system and it has twice changed a clinical decision. Small logistics win: worked out where…

    Ash26 Oct 2024nervous energy 1turning point

    Right. 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 there. Then…

  • Steady

    Birdie26 Oct 2024fine energy 5

    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. I nearly did not write this week…
