  • Nothing to report

    Rohan4 Aug 2025steady energy 3

    Recording this for the record. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of…

  • Slept through

    Bay4 Aug 2025tired energy 3

    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…

  • Quiet

    Col4 Aug 2025flat energy 4

    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. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Dilly4 Aug 2025grateful energy 4

    Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Slept…

  • She reduced it

    Dora4 Aug 2025brisk energy 2turning point

    Three things this week. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. A statin conversation she had been avoiding for…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Esme4 Aug 2025pleased energy 5

    Evening. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was…

  • Circle tonight

    Espe4 Aug 2025warm energy 4

    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…

  • Across the day

    Maeve4 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. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and…

  • Two sessions

    Nolan4 Aug 2025tired but good energy 2

    This 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. Eight minutes and a…

  • She reduced it

    Odile4 Aug 2025brisk energy 3

    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. Took the diary in. She read it properly,…

  • Paired

    Prue4 Aug 2025held energy 2

    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,…

  • No news

    Saoirse4 Aug 2025flat energy 3

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Nothing to report. Writing it…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Noah3 Aug 2025organised energy 5

    Right. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person.…

  • Slept through

    Ashwin3 Aug 2025tired energy 2

    Week in order: Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the morning trying to work out what was different. The sleep has changed…

  • Fewer, heavier

    Gwyneth3 Aug 2025tired but good energy 4

    This week: Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying…

  • Walking

    Nix3 Aug 2025tired but good energy 1

    Recording this for the record. 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.…

  • Fewer, heavier

    Nuala3 Aug 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…

  • Flat, whole night

    Ossian3 Aug 2025pleased energy 3

    Late, and writing anyway. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care.…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Soraya3 Aug 2025held energy 3

    My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Ammi2 Aug 2025pleased energy 2

    A quiet week. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Reading on.

  • Paired

    Bodhi2 Aug 2025held energy 5

    A gentle week, mostly. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. Nobody has ever…

  • Grip

    Bruno2 Aug 2025tired but good energy 4

    Evening. 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…

  • The list on the fridge

    Dot2 Aug 2025steady energy 3

    Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. I have found five things I can get down when…

  • Quiet

    Gil2 Aug 2025steady energy 5

    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 nearly did not…
