Circle tonight
Tildawarm energy 5
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 talking at…
A rough few days
Tinukesore energy 3turning point
Evening. Sore at the injection site for about ten days, a small firm lump under the skin. The pharmacist looked at it, was unbothered, and told me to move further…
A wedding
Nualaawkward energy 4
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…
Two sessions
Pamtired but good energy 5
Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in March, and he is annoyingly…
Quiet
Sorayafine energy 2
Short one tonight. 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…
The list on the fridge
Stefansteady energy 4
Notes for the week. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice…
She read the diary
Wilfheard energy 1
Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was…
The list on the fridge
Alekssteady energy 5
Late, and writing anyway. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. I have found five things I can get down when…
Two flights of stairs
Blyquietly delighted energy 2
Short one tonight. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Swam. First time…
Across the day
Nellsteady energy 5
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. Protein first,…
Starters as a main
Bridieloved energy 1
This 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. Sunday lunch…
Somebody new
Catowarm energy 1
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 hour. Circle tonight.…
Nothing
Junofrayed energy 1turning point
Right. Nothing. Eleven weeks of nothing. I know intellectually that nothing is not a failure, and I am finding that intellectual knowledge worth approximately nothing…
Six labelled boxes
Nadiaorganised energy 4
Week in order: 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. Anchored injection day…
I nearly did not write
Nixflat energy 5
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. Nothing to report. Writing it…
I nearly did not write
Pippasteady energy 3
A gentle week, mostly. 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.…
I nearly did not write
Posysteady energy 4
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 made…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Prueheld energy 1
A brief account of the week. 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,…
No news
Romyfine energy 2
An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then…
Quiet
Saoirsesteady energy 3
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. Steady. That is…
Starters as a main
Wystanawkward 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…
Three cool bags and a thermometer
Yannickorganised energy 5
Recording this for the record. 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. Anchored…
Two flights of stairs
Zebquietly delighted energy 1
Three things this week. 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…
Protein first
Annikasteady energy 3
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.…
