  • Off the floor

    Ives7 Aug 2025quietly delighted energy 2

    Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Out at four.

  • Paired

    Moss7 Aug 2025held energy 2

    A gentle week, mostly. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. She had a bad week and I had a fine one,…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Oskar7 Aug 2025tired but good energy 3

    Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for…

  • A different shape

    Ozzy7 Aug 2025rested energy 3

    Right. 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…

  • A wedding

    Patrick7 Aug 2025warm energy 3

    Short one tonight. 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

    Pam7 Aug 2025awkward energy 5

    A brief account of the 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…

  • Steady

    Rafe7 Aug 2025fine energy 1

    A brief account of the week. Steady. That is the whole entry. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I thought about how much I have…

  • What is your secret

    Ronan7 Aug 2025warm energy 2

    Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly, and…

  • Back without making it up

    Winnie7 Aug 2025tired but good energy 1

    Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a…

  • Quiet

    Abel6 Aug 2025steady energy 4

    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 impression of…

  • Steady

    Bridie6 Aug 2025fine energy 5

    This 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 whole thing.…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Clover6 Aug 2025organised energy 5

    Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to…

  • Hiding the box

    Lil6 Aug 2025close energy 4turning point

    A relative said something at the table that I have been carrying around for a fortnight. A hard month when their mother commented on both of them. My son asked why I…

  • Quiet

    Rin6 Aug 2025flat energy 5

    Quickly, before bed. 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…

  • The list on the fridge

    Sonia6 Aug 2025steady energy 2

    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. Protein first,…

  • Into town and back

    Tavia6 Aug 2025grateful energy 2

    Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Up the…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Tilda6 Aug 2025steady energy 2

    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. Spread it across the day…

  • Paired

    Tinuke6 Aug 2025held energy 2

    Evening. 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. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing…

  • What is your secret

    Aria5 Aug 2025loved energy 5

    Week in order: 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. Sunday lunch at…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Bram5 Aug 2025quietly delighted energy 3turning point

    Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Rode the Peak District loop. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the…

  • She noticed first

    Carl5 Aug 2025held energy 1

    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. Nobody has ever asked me how I was…

  • Across the day

    Cato5 Aug 2025steady energy 5

    This week: 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…

  • Quiet

    Hedda5 Aug 2025fine energy 3

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

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Moray5 Aug 2025organised energy 2

    Right. 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…
