  • Laces

    Viv20 Nov 2025grateful energy 2

    Right. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an idiot. Nobody saw. It…

  • Both bags, one go

    Lucas19 Nov 2025pleased energy 4

    Well then. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has…

  • Protein first

    Aleks19 Nov 2025steady energy 3

    A quiet week. 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 own. Spread it…

  • Unremarkable

    Ashwin19 Nov 2025pleased energy 3turning point

    Three things this week. Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a come-back-in-a-year before. Out of the prediabetes range. Three years of…

  • The list on the fridge

    Bram19 Nov 2025steady energy 2

    Well then. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the…

  • Circle tonight

    Clover19 Nov 2025warm energy 2

    Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in…

  • Back without making it up

    Nadia19 Nov 2025tired but good energy 1

    Week in order: Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that used to end it for me every time. Kept the two…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Oskar19 Nov 2025steady energy 2

    Recording this for the record. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Protein first, everything else after. It is not…

  • An unremarkable week

    Ozzy19 Nov 2025flat energy 1

    Well then. Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false…

  • No news

    Soraya19 Nov 2025steady energy 2

    A quiet 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. Nothing to report.…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Tavia19 Nov 2025quietly delighted energy 2turning point

    Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Walked to the Cattedrale and back daily for a month. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the…

  • The question I had been avoiding

    Abel18 Nov 2025frustrated energy 3

    Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She…

  • What is your secret

    Bodhi18 Nov 2025warm energy 3

    A gentle week, mostly. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly, and I say thank you, and we manage. It is not a problem to be solved. A…

    Izzy18 Nov 2025quietly delighted energy 5

    Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an…

  • March

    Keeley18 Nov 2025hollow energy 5turning point

    Short one tonight. Anniversaries do something to my whole week and I have stopped being surprised by it. Her mother went into a home. A very hard autumn. Six weeks of…

  • She stopped the room

    Obi18 Nov 2025warm energy 2

    Notes for 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, and about…

  • The question I had been avoiding

    Ted18 Nov 2025heard energy 1

    This week: Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven…

  • Walking

    Calla17 Nov 2025tired but good energy 1

    A quiet week. 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…

  • Sunday lunch

    Cass17 Nov 2025warm energy 1

    Notes for the week. 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. My mother…

  • Quiet

    Ray17 Nov 2025fine energy 2

    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. I nearly did not…

  • Two lines a day

    Jonty17 Nov 2025organised 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. Two lines a day in a paper…

  • Circle tonight

    Stellan17 Nov 2025warm energy 2

    Recording this for the record. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it land.…

  • A locum

    Ted17 Nov 2025brisk energy 5turning point

    This week: Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Podiatry review clear. Nine…

    Bea16 Nov 2025flat energy 3turning point

    A quiet 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. Off it, appetite…
