The limits of yoghurt
Obisteady energy 2
Recording this for the record. 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…
Somebody new
Pamwarm energy 1
A brief account of the week. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour,…
Circle tonight
Ariawarm energy 2
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. Circle tonight.…
Somebody new
Bodhiwarm energy 1
A gentle week, mostly. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. The facilitator stopped the room…
Quiet
Carlfine energy 5
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. No news. The dog is…
Two lengths, badly
Cloverquietly delighted energy 5
Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Tied my own…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Kaiheld energy 3
A gentle week, mostly. 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…
I nearly did not write
Nualaflat energy 2
Well then. 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. No…
An hour on the floor
Oskarpleased energy 3
Recording this for the record. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I started, and I have now done it. Slept flat.…
Nothing to report
Sadiefine energy 3
Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most…
Awake at four
Abeltired energy 2
A brief account of the week. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Repeat study came back and…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Dotheld energy 3
Right. 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…
A wedding
Espewarm energy 4
Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly, and…
An unremarkable week
Nolanflat energy 3
This week: 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. No news. The…
Steady
Gwynethfine energy 5
This week: 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. I nearly did not…
A locum
Izzybrisk energy 2
She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and…
Not writing about this would be dishonest
Ossiansore energy 2turning point
Bad week and I am writing it down anyway, because a journal that only contains the good weeks would be a lie and no use to anybody reading it later. Second polar…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Prueheld energy 5
A brief account of 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…
Both bags, one go
Sorayaquietly delighted energy 1
Late, and writing anyway. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever…
What it displaced
Rowanpinched energy 2turning point
This week: Price went up mid-year and I had a very unglamorous evening with a calculator and a cup of tea. Fuel to appointments turned out to cost more than the…
Weather, not a verdict
Gilfrayed energy 4
Recording this for the record. The plateau has been going on longer than the part before the plateau. That is an odd thing to sit with. Three months of no change and…
Where the pen lives
Inêsorganised energy 3
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…
Into town and back
Junopleased energy 3
Right. 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 check. Swam. First time since…
She stopped the room
Nixwarm energy 2
Recording this for the record. 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…
