Walking
Rohantired but good energy 4
Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps…
No news
Callafine energy 4
Short one tonight. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately.…
Fewer, heavier
Coltired but good energy 5
Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Eight…
A rough few days
Devrough energy 4turning point
Recording this for the record. Very tired. Not the kind of tired a nap fixes. I slept nine hours and woke feeling as though I had been awake all night. Wrote up his…
She reduced it
Fenheard energy 5
Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Took the diary in. She read it…
Back without making it up
Florrietired but good energy 2
Evening. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Kept the two sessions that matter and…
I have started
Gillyhopeful 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…
Quiet
Harrifine energy 4
Notes for the week. 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…
Nothing to report
Ikefine energy 2
This week: 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…
Day one
Junohopeful energy 4turning point
What I keep coming back to is how long it took me to get here. Not the medication — the asking. Years of that. First entry is a list of reasons this is probably a…
Sunday lunch
Keeleyawkward energy 4
Late, and writing anyway. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely.…
What is your secret
Maryamawkward energy 1
Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can,…
A new bin and a plan
Mossorganised energy 4
A gentle week, mostly. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Batch cooked…
Flat, whole night
Peggygrateful energy 1
This week: Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since 2021 and I did it twice more just to…
No news
Ronansteady energy 4
An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Steady. That is the whole entry. No news. The dog is well, the…
Starters as a main
Ruthieawkward energy 3
A brief account of the week. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Starters as a main course, permanently. No…
Stayed for the company
Salmasteadied energy 3
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Somebody new…
Nine minutes
Tedheard energy 3
This week: Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. Took the diary in. She…
Day one
Tullawired energy 2turning 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. Eleven months on a list. Day one. I am…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Ambroseheld energy 3
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…
She reduced it
Annikabrisk energy 5
Late, and writing anyway. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Nine minutes. I took…
Steady
Belflat energy 4
Short one tonight. Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Better tomorrow, probably.
Quiet
Birdieflat energy 5
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. Steady. That…
Somebody new
Brodywarm energy 2
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. Went for the practical…
