An hour on the floor
Inêsgrateful energy 1
A quiet week. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to…
Steady
Marniesteady energy 1

Sunday lunch

Quickly, before bed. 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…
Sunday lunch

Well then. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been…
Sunday night, four lines
Kaiheld 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…
Slept through

This week: 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…
Nothing to report
Tedflat energy 3

An unremarkable week
Theasteady energy 4

Fewer, heavier

Two sessions

How are you doing on a Wednesday

Quickly, before bed. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been…

She read the diary

Across the day

Recording this for the record. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Protein first, everything else after. It…
A locum

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