Bramheld energy 3
Right. 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…
No mask
Carltired energy 3
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. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort…
A new bin and a plan
Florrieorganised energy 2
Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Anchored injection day to my shift…
Starters as a main
Harlanloved energy 4
Notes for the week. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation…
Laces
Huwquietly delighted energy 1
Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an…
A plain question
Lilsteady energy 5
Evening. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Spread it across the day instead of…
An unremarkable week
Markfine energy 4
Quickly, before bed. 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. Steady.…
A new bin and a plan
Sadieorganised energy 1
Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Two lines a day in a paper diary.…
Into town and back
Sorrelquietly delighted energy 1
Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Sheep out.
She reduced it
Soniaheard energy 1
Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She…
The list on the fridge
Lucassteady energy 4
Well then. 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. Greek…
An unremarkable week
Noahfine energy 3
Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I…
Iron and B12
Ambroserelieved energy 3turning point
A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. Bone density baseline, on his own request. Iron and B12 both low.…
Two lengths, badly
Ashquietly delighted energy 4
Well then. 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. Sat on the floor and…
Flat, whole night
Colgrateful energy 4
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly,…
A printout I cannot read
Hannahbrisk energy 5
Late, and writing anyway. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Left with a printout I could not read and no…
Nothing to report
Hollysteady energy 4
A quiet week. 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.…
I nearly did not write
Mosssteady energy 4
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…
Circle tonight
Nanwarm 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.…
Slept through
Nolanrested energy 4
This week: The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It…
A different shape
Ravirested energy 2
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.…
A locum
Solomonheard energy 4turning point
Week in order: Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. His GP explained it in four…
I nearly did not write
Taviafine energy 4
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. No news. The…
Two lines a day
Tobiasorganised energy 2
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. Batch…
