  • Starters as a main

    Bay15 Jul 2025awkward energy 1

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…

  • Both bags, one go

    Harlan15 Jul 2025pleased energy 2turning point

    Notes for the week. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Hiked a fourteener. Tied my own laces standing up. I am…

  • Awake at four

    Inês15 Jul 2025tired energy 1

    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.…

  • My mother cooks

    Jonty15 Jul 2025warm energy 4

    A brief account of the week. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of…

  • An hour on the floor

    Lark15 Jul 2025pleased energy 5turning point

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Cycled the Prom before work. Got down on the floor and back up…

  • Nothing

    Lu15 Jul 2025low energy 5turning point

    Flat again. I have stopped looking, which is either healthy or avoidance and I genuinely cannot tell. Flat while Lil was not, which was hard. The plateau has been…

  • Before nine

    Petua15 Jul 2025steady energy 1

    Short one tonight. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had actually eaten in the last two days and I heard my own answer.…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Thea15 Jul 2025organised energy 1

    A brief account of the week. 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. Small…

  • She noticed first

    Viv15 Jul 2025held energy 2

    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. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I…

  • The list on the fridge

    Rohan14 Jul 2025steady energy 1

    Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Was undereating without realising. The nurse…

  • A wedding

    Ash14 Jul 2025loved energy 3

    Well then. 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. Somebody asked…

  • Nothing to report

    Bly14 Jul 2025steady energy 4

    A quiet week. 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.…

  • The question I had been avoiding

    Cato14 Jul 2025brisk energy 5

    Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice…

  • Quiet

    Clemmie14 Jul 2025fine energy 3

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…

  • Iron and B12

    Gil14 Jul 2025pleased energy 4

    Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference…

  • I nearly did not write

    Hattie14 Jul 2025flat energy 1

    Short one tonight. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I…

  • Starters as a main

    Maeve14 Jul 2025loved energy 3

    Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was…

  • Nothing to report

    Moray14 Jul 2025steady energy 2

    Right. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal…

  • The list on the fridge

    Rin14 Jul 2025steady energy 4

    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. Got something with…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Ravi14 Jul 2025held energy 1

    Notes for the week. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. My buddy noticed…

  • No news

    Ted14 Jul 2025fine energy 1

    This week: 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. I nearly did not…

  • I wanted to stop

    Anna13 Jul 2025stubborn energy 2turning point

    A brief account of the week. I wanted to stop this week. Said so out loud in circle, which I had not planned to. Six people said they had been there. Nobody tried to…

  • Grip

    Abel13 Jul 2025tired but good energy 3

    A brief account of the week. 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…

  • Laces

    Bea13 Jul 2025grateful energy 2

    A quiet week. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since 2021 and I did it twice more just to check. Swam. First time…
