  • A wedding

    Tilda3 Sep 2025awkward energy 2

    Three things this week. 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.…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Lucas2 Sep 2025tired but good energy 5

    Well then. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just…

  • She noticed first

    Matt2 Sep 2025held energy 2

    This 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 nights,…

  • Steady

    Aria2 Sep 2025flat energy 4

    Three things this week. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept…

  • Into town and back

    Bea2 Sep 2025quietly delighted energy 4

    A quiet week. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds…

  • A different shape

    Juniper2 Sep 2025tired energy 1

    Well then. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there…

  • Stayed for the company

    Minnie2 Sep 2025warm energy 1

    This week: Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Rin2 Sep 2025organised energy 1

    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 bags against a…

  • I nearly did not write

    Pam2 Sep 2025fine energy 2

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Steady. That is the whole entry. No news. The dog is well, the…

  • Steady

    Wilf2 Sep 2025flat energy 1

    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…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Ashwin1 Sep 2025steady energy 3

    Week in order: I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written them on the fridge. That list is the most useful thing I own. Was…

  • An hour on the floor

    Carl1 Sep 2025pleased energy 1

    This week: 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. Got down on the floor…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Cato1 Sep 2025organised energy 4

    This week: Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Ephraim1 Sep 2025steady energy 4

    A brief account of the week. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written them on the fridge. That list is the most useful thing I…

  • Paired

    Martha1 Sep 2025held energy 4

    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 fine one,…

  • Somebody new

    Yannick1 Sep 2025warm energy 4

    Recording this for the record. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Went for the practical…

  • Slept through

    Bex31 Aug 2025tired energy 1

    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…

  • Sunday lunch

    Col31 Aug 2025loved energy 5

    Quickly, before bed. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. A wedding. Three courses I could not…

  • Flat, whole night

    Ray31 Aug 2025grateful energy 1

    Right. 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 into town and back,…

  • Quiet

    Gwyneth31 Aug 2025flat energy 2

    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 unremarkable…

  • Quiet

    Héloïse31 Aug 2025flat energy 3

    A brief account of the week. 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…

  • Back without making it up

    Nan31 Aug 2025tired but good energy 1

    This week: Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Eight minutes and a chair. That is…

  • Quiet

    Nix31 Aug 2025fine energy 2

    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 report. Writing it…

  • I nearly did not write

    Obi31 Aug 2025steady energy 1

    Recording this for the record. 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…
