  • The list on the fridge

    Esme15 Oct 2024steady energy 2

    Evening. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Was undereating without realising.…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Gavin15 Oct 2024steady energy 1

    Late, and writing anyway. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had actually eaten in the last two days and I heard my own…

  • Quiet

    Gigi15 Oct 2024flat energy 1

    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 report.…

  • Nothing to report

    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. Injection…

  • She reduced it

    Lark15 Oct 2024brisk energy 5

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what I needed, and I have booked with my own GP for next month. Took…

  • Six labelled boxes

    Marit15 Oct 2024organised energy 5

    This week: 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…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Odile15 Oct 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.…

  • Quiet

  • A different shape

    Toby15 Oct 2024tired energy 1

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved.…

  • Six labelled boxes

    Tulla15 Oct 2024organised energy 1

    This week: 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. New sharps bin, and a plan…

  • Nothing to report

    Winnie15 Oct 2024steady energy 5

    A gentle week, mostly. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept…

  • Walking

    Noah14 Oct 2024tired but good energy 2

    Right. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday…

  • Flat, whole night

    Bo14 Oct 2024grateful energy 5

    Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I started, and I have…

  • Starters as a main

    Dora14 Oct 2024warm energy 1

    Three things this week. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's.…

  • Awake at four

    Holly14 Oct 2024rested energy 2

    Short one tonight. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that…

  • A plain question

    Linnet14 Oct 2024steady energy 2

    A gentle week, mostly. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had actually eaten in the last two days and I heard my own…

  • Walking

    Norah14 Oct 2024tired but good energy 3

    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…

  • A rough few days

    Pam14 Oct 2024flat energy 2

    The nausea has a shape to it now. Thursday teatime it starts, Friday it peaks, Saturday afternoon it lifts. Once I could see the pattern it stopped feeling like…

  • I have started

    Ronan14 Oct 2024hopeful energy 5turning point

    So. First one done. I had been carrying the box around the house for four days like it was something I had borrowed and needed to give back, and in the end I did it…

  • She noticed first

    Sonia14 Oct 2024held energy 2

    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…

  • No news

    Yannick14 Oct 2024fine energy 1

    Recording this for the record. 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…

  • The first one

    Rohan13 Oct 2024hopeful energy 1turning point

    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 only fair to leave one behind. Started…

  • First dose, done

    Short one 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 only fair to leave…

    Week in order: Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round.…
