She stopped the room
Juniperwarm energy 5
Well then. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in…
Just Wednesdays
Bridiecontent energy 1
This week: Nothing happened again. I am aware that is now the fourth month running I have written that, and I have decided it is the best sentence in this journal.…
Across the day
Gilsteady energy 2
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 nothing appeals and I have…
Sunday lunch
Nettiewarm energy 1
This week: 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…
Somebody new
Tobiaswarm energy 3
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. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an…
Anchored to the shifts
Yannickorganised energy 5
Notes for the week. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That is the…
Fewer, heavier
Bramtired but good energy 5
Well then. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps…
Starters as a main
Jontyloved energy 3
Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who noticed, and a very…
No project
Mocontent energy 3turning point
Week in order: Two years. My only news is that there is no news, and I have come back specifically to say so, because nobody wrote this part down for me. Steady,…
A plain question
Tinukesteady energy 4
Evening. 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. Greek…
Back
Beanervous energy 2turning point
Back. Eight months away and I arrived braced for a judgement that has not come from a single person. Restarted after a decision she describes in one long careful…
She read the diary
Bexfrustrated energy 3
Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what…
An unremarkable week
Zebfine energy 4
Three things 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. Nothing…
Somebody new
Nellwarm energy 4
A quiet week. 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…
Nothing to report
Cloverfine energy 4
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. An unremarkable…
Nothing happened again
Kezsettled energy 4turning point
Reduced to a maintenance dose. Same day, same fridge, less of it. Steady, one job, more sleep. Wednesdays are just Wednesdays now. The strange part is not having a…
Into town and back
Nolanpleased energy 2
Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Walked into town and back, which I stopped…

Nothing happened again. I am aware that is now the fourth month running I have written that, and I have decided it is the best sentence in this journal. Steady, still…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Espeheld energy 1
Evening. 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. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights,…
Where the pen lives
Kaiorganised energy 5
A gentle week, mostly. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Tested three cool bags against a…

Grip
Callatired but good energy 4
Late, and writing anyway. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that used to end it for me every time. Two…
