  • Anchored to the shifts

    Nettie20 Sep 2025organised energy 3

    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 logistics win:…

  • Steady

    Ronan20 Sep 2025fine energy 5

    Steady. That is the whole entry. 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.…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Ted20 Sep 2025tired but good energy 3

    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 annoyingly…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Yannick20 Sep 2025quietly delighted energy 5

    Recording this for the record. 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.…

  • Not properly consulted

    Zoë20 Sep 2025resolved energy 3turning point

    Quickly, before bed. 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. Paused…

  • Back without making it up

    Annika19 Sep 2025steady energy 3turning point

    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…

  • Grip

    Ashwin19 Sep 2025tired but good energy 5

    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 annoyingly…

  • She stopped the room

    Birdie19 Sep 2025warm energy 1

    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 eleven minutes of…

  • Off the floor

    Calla19 Sep 2025pleased energy 3turning point

    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 counted. Walked the Southern Walkway. Slept…

  • Nothing to report

    Ives19 Sep 2025flat energy 5

    This week: Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Out at four.

  • Starters as a main

    Kai19 Sep 2025warm energy 1

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…

  • Steady

    Tobias19 Sep 2025steady energy 5

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken…

  • An unremarkable week

    Aleks18 Sep 2025steady energy 3

    Short one tonight. 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…

  • Somebody new

    Bex18 Sep 2025warm energy 1

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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…

  • Two lines a day

    Nadia18 Sep 2025organised energy 4

    Three things this week. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. New sharps bin,…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Nan18 Sep 2025frustrated energy 2

    This week: Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Nine minutes. I took three written…

  • Both bags, one go

    Nuala18 Sep 2025grateful energy 2turning point

    Right. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Walked the Navan Fort loop daily for a month. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly,…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Pippa18 Sep 2025pleased energy 5turning point

    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. Walked the coast path from…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Tarn18 Sep 2025warm energy 1turning point

    My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Paired with tarn_and_tor. They walk on Sundays. Nobody has ever…

  • Dreams

    Abel17 Sep 2025rested energy 4

    The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced.…

  • Before nine

    Aria17 Sep 2025steady energy 4

    Week in order: Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had actually eaten in the last two days and I heard my own answer.…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Bo17 Sep 2025frustrated energy 1turning point

    Short one tonight. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Blood pressure medication…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Esme17 Sep 2025held energy 2

    Evening. 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…

  • Steady

    Espe17 Sep 2025flat energy 5

    Evening. Steady. That is the whole entry. 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…
