She stopped the room
Espewarm energy 2
Evening. 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. Somebody…
Starters as a main
Rayawkward energy 2
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. Starters as a main course,…
Walking
Nolantired but good energy 1
Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up…
No mask
Pruefoggy energy 3
Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I…
Six months off
Zoëcalm energy 1
Last dose was three weeks ago. Appetite is coming back in a shape I recognise and I am watching it with interest rather than fear, mostly. I could not afford it. That…
Nine minutes
Rohanbrisk energy 4
Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three…
She noticed first
Birdieheld energy 1
Evening. 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…
Nothing to report
Patrickflat energy 2
Short one tonight. 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…
Somebody new
Theawarm energy 4
A brief account of the week. 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. The…
Eight minutes and a chair
Tildatired but good energy 3
Week in order: Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up…
Quiet
Rowanflat energy 1
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…
Starters as a main
Carlawkward energy 1
This week: Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Starters as a main course, permanently. No…

A calculator and a cup of tea
Nadiapinched energy 3
Week in order: What this has displaced in the budget: the car being fixed, and a holiday. I have decided that is the right trade for now and I reserve the right to…
A printout I cannot read
Pamheard energy 1
A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what I needed, and I have booked with my own GP for next month. Asked the question I had been avoiding for…
Two flights of stairs
Saoirsequietly delighted energy 1
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Got down on the floor and back up again…
The question I had been avoiding
Ashfrustrated energy 3
Well then. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got…
No mask
Beltired energy 1
A quiet week. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the morning trying to work out what was different. The sleep has changed…
She stopped the room
Colwarm energy 5
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Somebody new tonight, terrified,…
Awake at four
Esmefoggy energy 2
Evening. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two…
Sunday night, four lines
Inêsheld energy 2
Short one tonight. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. My buddy noticed…
Off the floor
Jontyquietly delighted energy 2
A brief account of the 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. Tied…
Six labelled boxes
Nixorganised energy 2
Recording this for the record. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Small…
An unremarkable week
Odilesteady energy 4
A brief account of the week. Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Bonne soirée.
