Where the pen lives
Ambroseorganised energy 5
A brief account of the week. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Two…
Eight minutes and a chair
Brodytired but good energy 4
Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Duncanheld energy 4
Three things this week. 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…
What is your secret
Esmewarm energy 3
Evening. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of…
Six labelled boxes
Gwenorganised energy 3
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…
The list on the fridge
Kezsteady energy 4
Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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…
Paired
Mapleheld energy 1
Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. She had a bad week and I had a fine one,…
A locum
Marthafrustrated energy 5
Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was…
The pattern of it
Nanflat energy 2
Cramp in both calves in the night, twice this week. Mentioned it and had bloods done rather than being told to eat a banana, which I appreciated. Very tired. Not the…
I nearly did not write
Norahsteady energy 2
Right. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday,…
Quiet
Rinflat energy 4
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept…
She stopped the room
Poppywarm energy 3
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 talking at…

Awake at four
Gavintired energy 2
Late, and writing anyway. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Repeat study came back and…
Stayed for the company
Gigiwarm energy 4
The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It changed the whole hour. Went for the…
Fewer, heavier
Marnietired but good energy 3
Late, and writing anyway. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost…
Where the pen lives
Nedorganised energy 4
Late, and writing anyway. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four…
Steady
Annikafine energy 1
A quiet week. Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Enough for now.
A different shape
Bertierested energy 3
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 awake, lying…
Before nine
Bexsteady energy 2
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. I have found five…
Standing in the kitchen
Bunnynervous energy 4turning point
Evening. 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…
A new bin and a plan
Fenorganised energy 1
This week: New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer…
Beginning, badly
Gwendahopeful energy 4
This week: The pharmacist talked me through it very fast and I nodded at all of it and retained about a third. I have written down the bits I remember and I will ask…
Stayed for the company
Dillywarm energy 4
Evening. 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 the…
