  • A plain question

    Bea7 Jan 2026steady energy 2

    Short one tonight. 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 answer.…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Bex7 Jan 2026grateful energy 3

    Quickly, before bed. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care.…

  • Steady

    Linnet7 Jan 2026flat energy 2

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Petua7 Jan 2026steady energy 2

    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…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Zeb7 Jan 2026held energy 3

    Three things this week. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. She had a bad week and I had a fine one,…

  • No news

    Lucas6 Jan 2026steady energy 5

    Right. 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 was nothing in…

  • A1c down

    Cato6 Jan 2026relieved energy 4turning point

    This week: Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once heard applied to me. Good. Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have…

  • Back without making it up

    Espe6 Jan 2026tired but good energy 1

    Evening. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar…

  • Quiet

    Inês6 Jan 2026fine energy 4

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then…

  • Three years side by side

    Maple6 Jan 2026relieved energy 5turning point

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. Improved. Bloods back.…

  • A1c down

    Soraya6 Jan 2026pleased energy 5

    Short one tonight. Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once heard applied to me. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a…

  • Nothing to report

    Tilda6 Jan 2026steady energy 4

    Three things 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…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Yannick6 Jan 2026held energy 4

    Recording this for the record. 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…

  • Paired

    Matt5 Jan 2026held energy 2

    Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. My buddy noticed something in my journal…

  • Slept through

    Gwyneth5 Jan 2026rested energy 5

    This week: The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Juniper5 Jan 2026held energy 3

    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…

    Kai5 Jan 2026flat energy 3

    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. Steady. That is…

  • No news

    Marit5 Jan 2026steady 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.…

  • Slept through

    Winnie5 Jan 2026tired energy 3

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the morning trying to work out what was…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Aleks4 Jan 2026steady energy 4

    Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have…

  • Iron and B12

    Dilly4 Jan 2026relieved energy 2turning point

    Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a come-back-in-a-year before. Fine. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight…

  • A locum

    Huw4 Jan 2026brisk energy 1

    Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what…

    Recording this for the record. A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. Two years of stable bloods. Iron and…

    Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be…
