Dreams
Catofoggy energy 4
This week: Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not…
Flat, whole night
Gilquietly delighted energy 4
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. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat.…
Paired
Huwheld energy 2
This week: Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the…
At the table
Lilprickly energy 1
Evening. A relative said something at the table that I have been carrying around for a fortnight. My son asked why I was not eating my dinner. I gave him a bad…
Protein first
Tedsteady energy 5
Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got…
No news
Wystanflat energy 4
A gentle week, mostly. 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…
Off the floor
Bayquietly delighted energy 1
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been…
She stopped the room
Casswarm energy 3
Notes for the 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…
An unremarkable week
Dillyflat energy 4
Evening. Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false…
Three years side by side
Florrierelieved energy 2turning point
Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at. A1c down. Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said,…
Two flights of stairs
Hattiegrateful energy 3turning point
Late, and writing anyway. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I started, and I have now done it. Walked to the Quay…
Circle tonight
Héloïsewarm energy 2
A brief account of the week. 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…
No mask
Nualafoggy energy 5
Right. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other people in circle have the same and none of us can find anything written about…
I nearly did not write
Ronanfine energy 4
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. An unremarkable week.…
Eight minutes and a chair
Tansytired but good energy 3
Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two…
I nearly did not write
Abelsteady energy 1
A brief account of the week. 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…
My mother cooks
Ashwinawkward energy 4
Three things this week. 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…
Grip
Bodhitired but good energy 1
A gentle week, mostly. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Two sessions this week, both…
Protein first
Nellsteady energy 2
A quiet week. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have…
Flat, whole night
Ephraimquietly delighted energy 2
A brief account of the week. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not…
Dreams
Jontyfoggy energy 3
A brief account of the week. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there…
Steady
Rinsteady energy 2
Quickly, before bed. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Ossianheld energy 1
Late, and writing anyway. 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…
Nothing
Patricklow energy 2turning point
Ada said something in circle that has stayed with me: that a plateau is weather, not a verdict. I have written it on a card. Flat, and calm about it. Three months of…
