  • Stayed for the company

    Bridie16 Nov 2025warm energy 5

    This week: 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…

  • An unremarkable week

    Huw16 Nov 2025flat energy 5

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a…

  • No news

    Lil16 Nov 2025steady energy 3

    Evening. Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Off to ring Lu.

  • Three years side by side

    Tulla16 Nov 2025pleased energy 4turning point

    Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a come-back-in-a-year before. A1c down. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a…

  • Quiet

    Nell15 Nov 2025steady energy 4

    A quiet 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. Quiet.…

  • Steady

    Gil15 Nov 2025flat energy 3

    Recording this for the record. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of…

  • Walking

    Linnet15 Nov 2025tired but good energy 3

    A gentle week, mostly. 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 ground,…

  • Come back in a year

    Marit15 Nov 2025relieved energy 5

    Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight was not subtle. Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently…

  • Three years side by side

    Nettie15 Nov 2025pleased energy 5turning point

    Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight was not subtle. A1c down. A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother,…

  • Protein first

    Nuala15 Nov 2025steady energy 4

    Right. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is…

  • Unremarkable

    Anna14 Nov 2025pleased energy 3turning point

    A brief account of the week. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight was not subtle. Improved. She wrote about confidence intervals. Three years…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Rohan14 Nov 2025organised energy 5

    Notes for the 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. New sharps bin, and…

  • Laces

    Bea14 Nov 2025quietly delighted energy 2

    Short one tonight. 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…

  • Fewer, heavier

    Dot14 Nov 2025tired but good energy 2

    Well then. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done…

  • Iron and B12

    Mark14 Nov 2025pleased energy 4turning point

    Quickly, before bed. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight was not subtle. Bloods good. His mother cried on the phone. Three years of results…

  • I nearly did not write

    Ossian14 Nov 2025flat energy 3

    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 news. The dog…

  • Paired

    Tarn14 Nov 2025held energy 1

    Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the…

  • Six labelled boxes

    Zeb14 Nov 2025organised energy 4

    Week in order: 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:…

  • She noticed first

    Kai13 Nov 2025held energy 5

    Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Nettie13 Nov 2025steady energy 3

    Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Romy13 Nov 2025quietly delighted energy 1

    Late, and writing anyway. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing.…

  • Nothing to report

    Tansy13 Nov 2025fine energy 1

    Well then. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it.…

  • I nearly did not write

    Thea13 Nov 2025fine energy 1

    A brief account of the 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…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Yannick13 Nov 2025held energy 3

    Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing…
