  • Steady

    Kai27 Nov 2025flat energy 4

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Steady. That is the whole entry. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I thought about how…

  • Starters as a main

    Mark27 Nov 2025warm 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…

  • She read the diary

    Nuala27 Nov 2025heard energy 5

    Well then. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She…

  • Nothing to report

    Dot26 Nov 2025fine energy 3

    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. Steady. That is the…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Huw26 Nov 2025held energy 3

    This week: 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 quietly become the…

  • I nearly did not write

    Minnie26 Nov 2025flat energy 1

    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. Quiet. Injection…

  • Quiet

    Soraya26 Nov 2025steady energy 1

    A quiet 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 thing. No…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Tinuke26 Nov 2025held 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,…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Winnie26 Nov 2025pleased energy 5

    Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and…

  • Come back in a year

    Cass25 Nov 2025relieved energy 5turning point

    Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once heard applied to me. Improved. A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my…

  • No news

    Dilly25 Nov 2025flat energy 4

    Evening. 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 write…

  • No mask

    Juniper25 Nov 2025tired energy 5

    Right. 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…

  • Laces

    Nolan25 Nov 2025pleased energy 3

    This week: 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. Up the stairs at work…

  • Nothing to report

    Viv25 Nov 2025flat energy 4turning point

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

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made…

  • Slept through

    Espe24 Nov 2025foggy energy 3

    Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other people in circle have the same and none of us can find anything written about it.…

  • Two lines a day

    Gwen24 Nov 2025organised 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…

  • Somebody new

    Maple24 Nov 2025warm energy 1

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it…

  • She noticed first

    Ossian24 Nov 2025held energy 2

    Late, and writing anyway. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights,…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Patrick24 Nov 2025held energy 3

    Late, and writing anyway. 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 asked…

    Carl23 Nov 2025brisk energy 4
