Brampleased energy 5
Well then. 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. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat.…
Steady
Bridieflat energy 5
This 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. Nothing to…
Laces
Cassgrateful energy 1
Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. 0600 tomorrow.
Two flights of stairs
Héloïsegrateful energy 2
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. Got down on the floor and back up…
Anchored to the shifts
Ivesorganised 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. Tested three cool bags against a…
Steady
Moraysteady energy 1
Well then. 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…
What is your secret
Obiwarm energy 1
Recording this for the record. 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 a word.…
The question I had been avoiding
Ossianheard energy 5
Short one tonight. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. A locum who had…
I nearly did not write
Ozzyflat energy 4
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 have taken my…
Six labelled boxes
Rillaorganised energy 1
Quick one. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern…
Back without making it up
Solomontired but good energy 4
Week in order: Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed…
Paired
Stellanheld energy 3
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. She had a bad week and…
A wedding
Tarnwarm energy 4
This week: 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 a word. My mother cooks.…
No news
Annasteady energy 1
A brief account of the week. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild…
Across the day
Baysteady energy 3
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had actually eaten in the last two days and I…
Three years side by side
Gilrelieved energy 4turning point
Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at. Lipids and A1c both improved. Iron and B12…
I nearly did not write

An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken…
Protein first
Heddasteady energy 5
Recording this for the record. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Spread it…
Off the floor
Jontyquietly delighted energy 1
A brief account of the week. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do…

Evening. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I…
Stayed for the company
Mowarm energy 3turning point
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…
Stayed for the company
Nixwarm energy 2
Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were…
Propped up on pillows
Petuaflat energy 5
Late, and writing anyway. Headache for three days running. It turned out I had barely drunk anything since Tuesday. Water, then a slow improvement, then feeling…
Sunday night, four lines
Taviaheld energy 2
My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be…
