Quiet
Mossflat energy 2
A gentle week, mostly. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. I nearly did not write this week because there…
Somebody new
Nanwarm energy 2
This week: 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…
Where the pen lives
Patrickorganised energy 4
A quiet week. 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. Batch…
Circle tonight
Peggywarm energy 3
This week: 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…
Dreams
Salmafoggy energy 5
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you…
I nearly did not write
Soniafine energy 4
A gentle week, mostly. 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…
The question I had been avoiding
Tullafrustrated energy 3
She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what I needed,…
Dreams
Noahrested energy 5
Right. 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. Vivid dreams, every night,…
Before nine
Bexsteady energy 3
Quickly, before bed. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Protein first, everything else after. It is not…
Unpleasant, not dangerous
Birdieflat energy 5turning point
Constipation, which I have avoided writing about for six weeks out of pure squeamishness. It is the thing making me most miserable and I have said nothing about it to…
An unremarkable week

An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a…
Quiet
Bunnyfine 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. Steady. That is the whole entry.…
She read the diary
Gigifrustrated energy 1
Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. She reduced one of my other…
No news
Gwensteady energy 3
An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Steady. That is the whole entry. Getting on with it.
Back without making it up
Hollytired but good energy 3
Short one tonight. 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…
Sunday night, four lines
Kezheld energy 5
My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before.…
I have started
Nolannervous energy 4turning 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.…
She stopped the room
Norahwarm energy 4
Well then. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in…

An unremarkable week
Odilefine energy 3
A brief account of the week. Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Bonne soirée.
Steady
Rillasteady 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. Steady. That is the whole entry.…
She noticed first
Samheld 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. Nobody has ever asked me how…
The first one
Wystanhopeful energy 5turning point
Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…
The list on the fridge
Nellsteady energy 2
A quiet 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…
