  • A wedding

    Thea28 Aug 2025loved energy 2

    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.…

  • Quiet

    Viv28 Aug 2025steady energy 4

    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.…

  • Two lines a day

    Ashwin27 Aug 2025organised energy 1

    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 it when I…

  • Grip

    Dot27 Aug 2025tired but good energy 4

    Right. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the…

  • Walking

    Esme27 Aug 2025tired but good energy 1

    Evening. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that used to end it for me every time. Eight minutes and a…

  • A wedding

    Gwen27 Aug 2025loved energy 4

    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. A wedding. Three courses…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Inês27 Aug 2025tired but good energy 4

    Late, and writing anyway. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Grip strength has gone off and…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Mo27 Aug 2025brisk energy 1

    Three things 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…

  • She stopped the room

    Pippa27 Aug 2025warm energy 3

    Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring.…

  • Quiet

    Rohan26 Aug 2025flat energy 5

    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…

  • From the bottom

    Aleks26 Aug 2025relieved energy 5

    Late, and writing anyway. The shame about the gap was worse than any side effect I have had. Six people in circle said "yes, me, twice", and it went. Starting from…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Kai26 Aug 2025organised energy 4

    Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date,…

  • Nothing to report

    Maeve26 Aug 2025steady energy 4

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

  • A different shape

    Maple26 Aug 2025foggy energy 2

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake,…

  • Sunday lunch

    Nettie26 Aug 2025warm energy 2

    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 face, a table of people…

  • Starters as a main

    Ozzy26 Aug 2025loved energy 1

    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. Sunday lunch at my…

  • Off the floor

    Bram25 Aug 2025quietly delighted energy 5

    Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Calla25 Aug 2025pleased energy 3

    Short one tonight. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I…

  • I nearly did not write

    Clover25 Aug 2025fine energy 3

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my…

  • Weather, not a verdict

    Patrick25 Aug 2025frayed energy 2

    A quiet week. Flat again. I have stopped looking, which is either healthy or avoidance and I genuinely cannot tell. The plateau has been going on longer than the part…

  • Back without making it up

    Romy25 Aug 2025tired but good energy 2

    A quiet week. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that used to end it for me every time. Walked instead of…

  • Dreams

    Tilda25 Aug 2025tired energy 4

    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 other people…

    Ammi24 Aug 2025flat 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…
