Sunday night, four lines
Huwheld energy 2
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…
Stayed for the company
Izzywarm energy 1
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. Circle tonight.…
A different shape
Linnettired energy 3
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the morning trying to work out what was…
No mask
Tobiasfoggy energy 1turning point
Notes for the week. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Apnoea improved. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake,…
Sore and slow
Tobysore energy 2turning point
Bad week and I am writing it down anyway, because a journal that only contains the good weeks would be a lie and no use to anybody reading it later. A bad fortnight…
The list on the fridge
Beasteady energy 5
Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do…
An unremarkable week
Ossianfine energy 5
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…
Three cool bags and a thermometer
Taviaorganised energy 3
Evening. 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. Small…
Eight minutes and a chair
Winnietired but good energy 5
A gentle week, mostly. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed…
No mask
Bayrested energy 4
The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up…
Quiet
Bridiefine energy 5
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. Nothing to report.…
Somebody new
Lilwarm energy 5
Evening. 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. Circle tonight. Eight of…
Nothing
Maryamfrayed energy 5turning point
The plateau has been going on longer than the part before the plateau. That is an odd thing to sit with. A long flat autumn during Ramadan planning, handled calmly. I…
The list on the fridge
Obisteady energy 2
Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have…
Six labelled boxes
Petuaorganised energy 1
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. Tested three cool bags…
An unremarkable week
Priyasteady energy 1turning point
An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. A very ordinary autumn. She wrote about a bus stop for four hundred…
Anchored to the shifts
Stellanorganised energy 1
Notes for the week. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Tested three cool…
She noticed first
Wilfheld energy 5
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 most…
Two lengths, badly
Bodhipleased energy 2
A gentle week, mostly. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how…
Sunday night, four lines
Cassheld energy 1
Notes for the week. 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. Paired up. We text on Sunday…
Nine minutes
Ephraimbrisk energy 3
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 could not read…
Three years side by side
Hollyrelieved energy 4turning point
Late, and writing anyway. Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at. Bone density…
No news
Markfine energy 1
Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the…
What is your secret
Marthaloved energy 5
A brief account of 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.…
