  • Nothing to report

    Marit17 Sep 2025flat energy 1

    This 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. Steady. That is the…

  • What it displaced

    Nadia17 Sep 2025clear-eyed energy 3turning point

    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 change my mind. A…

  • I nearly did not write

    Odile17 Sep 2025steady energy 4

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Bonne soirée.

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Oskar17 Sep 2025organised energy 2

    New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four…

  • Paired

    Sadie17 Sep 2025held energy 4

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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…

  • Dreams

    Soraya17 Sep 2025rested energy 3

    A quiet week. 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…

  • I nearly did not write

    Rohan16 Sep 2025flat energy 4

    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…

  • My mother cooks

    Ash16 Sep 2025awkward energy 3

    Right. 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. Somebody asked…

  • I nearly did not write

    Ray16 Sep 2025fine energy 3

    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. Injection…

  • Laces

    Nuala16 Sep 2025quietly delighted energy 3

    Well then. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing.…

  • Quiet

    Ozzy16 Sep 2025fine energy 5

    Right. 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. An…

  • Where the pen lives

    Prue16 Sep 2025organised energy 4

    A brief account of the week. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled…

  • Both bags, one go

    Saoirse16 Sep 2025grateful energy 4turning point

    A gentle week, mostly. 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. Swam at…

  • Laces

    Tarn16 Sep 2025quietly delighted energy 3

    This week: Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second…

  • Cut it short

    Kate15 Sep 2025tender energy 1turning point

    GP checked ferritin and thyroid rather than telling me to take a supplement, which I appreciated more than I can say. Some shedding at month eighteen which frightened…

  • Paired

    Carl15 Sep 2025held energy 4

    Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it.…

  • Steady

    Cato15 Sep 2025flat energy 4

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Steady. That is the whole entry. Done talking.

  • An unremarkable week

    Hannah15 Sep 2025steady energy 4

    Short one tonight. 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…

  • No mask

    Pippa15 Sep 2025tired energy 5

    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…

  • Sunday lunch

    Tinuke15 Sep 2025warm energy 2

    Evening. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out…
