Eight minutes and a chair
Saoirsetired but good energy 3
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Walked instead of the bus all…
Nine minutes
Wystanfrustrated energy 4
Sitting down to this properly tonight. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Nine minutes. I took three written…
Come back in a year
Huwrelieved energy 3
Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once heard applied to me. Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is…
Paired
Belheld energy 1
A quiet week. 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…
Where the pen lives
Nellorganised energy 4
Late, and writing anyway. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in…
My mother cooks
Callaloved energy 3
A quiet week. 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…
Awake at four
Coltired energy 5
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 I lay there in the…
A wedding
Jontyawkward energy 4
Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who noticed, and a very…
Nothing to report
Linnetsteady energy 4
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 taken my…
An unremarkable week
Ronansteady energy 3
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. An unremarkable week. Ate,…
Sunday night, four lines
Tildaheld energy 1
Week in order: 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 on a…
She stopped the room
Vivwarm energy 1
Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the…
The limits of yoghurt
Tarnsteady energy 4
This week: Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Protein first, everything else after.…
Nothing to report
Taviafine energy 4
Evening. 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.…
Fewer, heavier
Lucastired but good energy 2
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…
Where the pen lives
Rohanorganised energy 2
Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four months. Two lines a day in a…
An unremarkable week
Beaflat energy 3
A quiet week. Steady. That is the whole entry. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my medication on the correct day for the eleventh…
Paired
Bramheld energy 1
Well then. 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…
She read the diary
Bridiebrisk energy 2
This week: Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Left with a printout I…
Where the pen lives
Ephraimorganised energy 5
A brief account of the week. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. New sharps bin, and a plan…
Slept through
Maevetired energy 5
Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the…
An unremarkable week
Ossianfine energy 4
Short one tonight. 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. Nothing to…
Sunday lunch
Stellanloved energy 5
Recording this for the record. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who noticed, and a very kind waiter who boxed it up without saying a word.…
Back without making it up
Tansytired but good energy 4
Right. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in March, and he is…
