  • I nearly did not write

    Sara31 Aug 2025fine energy 4

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I…

  • My mother cooks

    Soraya31 Aug 2025loved energy 5

    A quiet week. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely.…

  • Nine minutes

    Tinuke31 Aug 2025brisk energy 4

    Evening. 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…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Abel30 Aug 2025frustrated energy 2

    A brief account of the week. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Nine…

  • Dreams

    Ash30 Aug 2025tired energy 3

    Right. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake,…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Bodhi30 Aug 2025pleased energy 4

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without…

  • Across the day

    Ives30 Aug 2025steady energy 5

    Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question…

  • A wedding

    Nolan30 Aug 2025awkward energy 5

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

  • Flat, whole night

    Petua30 Aug 2025quietly delighted energy 3

    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. First time since school. Two…

  • Where the pen lives

    Saoirse30 Aug 2025organised energy 4

    A gentle week, mostly. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. New sharps…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Tobias30 Aug 2025steady energy 5

    Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Was undereating without realising. The nurse…

  • Circle tonight

    Winnie30 Aug 2025warm energy 1

    Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Ammi29 Aug 2025brisk energy 2

    Short one tonight. 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…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Birdie29 Aug 2025organised energy 5

    Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. New sharps bin, and a plan for what…

  • Starters as a main

    Marit29 Aug 2025loved energy 3

    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. Starters as a main…

  • I nearly did not write

    Odile29 Aug 2025fine energy 3

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

  • Grip

    Oskar29 Aug 2025tired but good energy 5

    Recording this for the record. 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…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Tavia29 Aug 2025organised energy 2

    Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. New sharps bin, and a plan for what…

  • I nearly did not write

    Bel28 Aug 2025steady energy 4

    A quiet week. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Better tomorrow, probably.

  • Two lines a day

    Hannah28 Aug 2025organised energy 4

    Late, and writing anyway. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Batch cooked…

  • Quiet

    Moray28 Aug 2025fine energy 5

    Well then. 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. I…

  • Nothing to report

    Moss28 Aug 2025flat 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. An unremarkable week.…

  • Circle tonight

    Nadia28 Aug 2025warm energy 2

    Three things this week. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. The facilitator stopped the room…
