  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Bea24 Jun 2025organised energy 5

    Late, and writing anyway. 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 cooked…

  • Steady

    Birdie24 Jun 2025steady energy 1

    Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of…

  • Not writing about this would be dishonest

    Bruno24 Jun 2025rough energy 4turning point

    Bad week and I am writing it down anyway, because a journal that only contains the good weeks would be a lie and no use to anybody reading it later. Manageable.…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Freya24 Jun 2025held energy 5

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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. Nobody has ever…

  • Two lines a day

    Harlan24 Jun 2025organised energy 4

    Recording this for the record. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Two lines…

  • Grip

    Juno24 Jun 2025tired but good energy 2

    Right. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren…

  • Unpleasant, not dangerous

    Nadia24 Jun 2025flat energy 5turning point

    Bad week and I am writing it down anyway, because a journal that only contains the good weeks would be a lie and no use to anybody reading it later. Heat,…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Odile24 Jun 2025organised energy 3

    A brief account of the week. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Batch…

  • Dreams

    Prue24 Jun 2025foggy energy 2

    A brief account of the week. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved.…

  • Propped up on pillows

    Sorrel24 Jun 2025sore energy 4

    Cramp in both calves in the night, twice this week. Mentioned it and had bloods done rather than being told to eat a banana, which I appreciated. Reflux again. I…

  • Dreams

    Tulla24 Jun 2025tired energy 4

    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. Repeat study came back and the…

  • Stayed for the company

    Wilf24 Jun 2025warm energy 4

    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. Somebody new…

  • Stayed for the company

    Poppy23 Jun 2025warm energy 3turning point

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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…

  • The bad fortnight

    Aria23 Jun 2025flat energy 3

    Week in order: The burping. Nobody mentions the burping. It is not in any leaflet and it is genuinely one of the odder experiences of my adult life. Very tired. Not…

  • Paired

    Ashwin23 Jun 2025held energy 3

    Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the…

  • Starters as a main

    Bruno23 Jun 2025awkward energy 4

    Evening. 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. Starters as a…

  • Steady

    Cato23 Jun 2025steady energy 3

    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. An unremarkable week. Ate,…

  • Quiet

    Izzy23 Jun 2025flat energy 1

    Right. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Marnie23 Jun 2025organised energy 5

    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. Two lines a day in a…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Mo23 Jun 2025held energy 3

    Three things this 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…

  • She stopped the room

    Rin23 Jun 2025warm energy 4

    Quickly, before bed. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. The facilitator stopped the room…

  • Nothing to report

    Ravi23 Jun 2025fine energy 1

    Notes for the week. 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…

  • Somebody new

    Sadie23 Jun 2025warm energy 1

    Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it land. Went for the practical answers and…

  • She noticed first

    Soraya23 Jun 2025held energy 1

    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. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a…
