  • Nothing to report

    Zeb25 Jul 2025fine energy 3

    Week in order: 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.…

  • No mask

    Abel24 Jul 2025foggy energy 2

    A brief account of the week. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Repeat study came back and…

  • Where the pen lives

    Bram24 Jul 2025organised energy 3

    Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four months. Batch cooked on a good…

  • An hour on the floor

    Hedda24 Jul 2025pleased energy 4

    Recording this for the record. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths,…

  • Flat, whole night

    Lil24 Jul 2025pleased energy 3

    Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an idiot. Nobody saw. It counted. Sat on the floor and played for an…

  • Fewer, heavier

    Minnie24 Jul 2025tired but good energy 3

    Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped…

  • No mask

    Mo24 Jul 2025foggy energy 2

    Three things this week. 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…

  • No news

    Nan24 Jul 2025fine 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. An unremarkable week. Ate,…

  • What is your secret

    Ossian24 Jul 2025loved energy 2

    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.…

  • Protein first

    Petua24 Jul 2025steady energy 2

    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 question…

  • Slept through

    Sadie24 Jul 2025foggy energy 3

    The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced.…

  • Before nine

    Sorrel24 Jul 2025steady energy 5

    Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and…

  • She stopped the room

    Tilda24 Jul 2025warm energy 3

    Three things this week. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It changed the whole…

  • Where the pen lives

    Bodhi23 Jul 2025organised energy 1

    A gentle week, mostly. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That is the…

  • Laces

    Dilly23 Jul 2025grateful energy 4turning point

    Evening. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Full Saturday of clients without aching. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Full shift on my feet…

  • A different shape

    Hannah23 Jul 2025rested energy 4

    Late, and writing anyway. 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. Repeat…

  • I nearly did not write

    Maeve23 Jul 2025steady energy 2

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

  • My mother cooks

    Rin23 Jul 2025warm energy 5

    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…

  • Where the pen lives

    Ravi23 Jul 2025organised energy 2

    Recording this for the record. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Two lines…

  • Back without making it up

    Tinuke23 Jul 2025tired but good energy 4

    Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole…

  • Paired

    Tobias23 Jul 2025held energy 4

    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,…

  • Laces

    Esme22 Jul 2025grateful energy 3

    Evening. 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. Up the stairs at work twice without…

  • A plain question

    Flossie22 Jul 2025practical energy 1turning point

    Evening. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Started eating properly between…

  • Awake at four

    Nuala22 Jul 2025rested energy 4

    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 it. The…
