Slept through

Short one tonight. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. CPAP off after a repeat study. He…
Nothing to report

My mother cooks
Oskarloved energy 1
Notes for 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 solved.…
Walking
Rillatired but good energy 5
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. Two sessions this week, both…
Walking
Lucastired but good energy 2
Right. 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…
A plain question
Annikasteady energy 5
A quiet 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…
Stopped
Beasad energy 3turning point
Short one tonight. Six months off. Some of it has come back and the trial data said it probably would, and knowing that in advance has made an enormous difference to…
Anchored to the shifts
Dotorganised energy 4
Right. 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. Tested three…

A new bin and a plan
Mossorganised energy 3
A gentle week, mostly. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That is the entire system and it has twice changed a clinical decision. New sharps bin,…
Stayed for the company
Tarnwarm energy 1
This 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 were…
Stayed for the company

Quiet
Birdieflat energy 1
Evening. 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 weeks. Steady. That…
Awake at four

Flat, whole night
Héloïsegrateful energy 5turning point
A brief account of the week. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Walked the Salève. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up.…

No news
Ozzysteady energy 5
Right. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday,…
What is your secret
Soniaawkward energy 1
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…
