  • Anchored to the shifts

    Bodhi20 Jun 2025organised energy 3

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about…

  • Paired

    Espe20 Jun 2025held energy 5

    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 something in my journal…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Jonty20 Jun 2025pleased energy 2turning point

    A brief account of the week. 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. Cycled…

  • What was underneath

    Maeve20 Jun 2025quiet energy 3

    Well then. I miss looking forward to dinner. I did not expect to have to write that sentence and I do not know what to do with it. The hum is back, quieter. I…

  • She noticed first

    Mark20 Jun 2025held energy 2

    Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most…

  • Steady

    Nuala20 Jun 2025steady energy 3

    Well then. 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.…

  • Both bags, one go

    Ossian20 Jun 2025grateful energy 1turning point

    A quiet week. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Skied to Fløya in the light. Swam. First time since school.…

  • Six labelled boxes

    Rafe20 Jun 2025organised energy 1

    Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Small logistics win: worked out where…

  • She noticed first

    Solomon20 Jun 2025held energy 4

    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, four or five lines each, and…

  • Unpleasant, not dangerous

    Sorrel20 Jun 2025flat energy 3turning point

    This week: Very tired. Not the kind of tired a nap fixes. I slept nine hours and woke feeling as though I had been awake all night. Manageable. Headache for three…

  • She stopped the room

    Annika19 Jun 2025warm energy 4

    A quiet week. 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…

  • Quiet

    Ash19 Jun 2025fine energy 4

    Right. 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. No news.…

  • Nothing to report

    Florrie19 Jun 2025flat energy 3

    Evening. 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…

  • Paired

    Freya19 Jun 2025held energy 3

    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 one,…

  • Awake at four

    Gilly19 Jun 2025tired energy 2

    Well then. 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…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Gwen19 Jun 2025organised energy 4

    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.…

  • An unremarkable week

    Héloïse19 Jun 2025steady energy 5

    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. Quiet. Injection…

  • Quiet

    Nettie19 Jun 2025fine energy 3

    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…

  • Off the floor

    Sonia19 Jun 2025grateful energy 3

    A gentle week, mostly. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and…

  • Both bags, one go

    Tansy19 Jun 2025quietly delighted energy 1

    Right. 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 about four years.…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Tulla19 Jun 2025held energy 5

    This week: 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.…

  • I nearly did not write

    Viv19 Jun 2025fine energy 4

    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 dog is…

  • Quiet

    Cato18 Jun 2025flat energy 3

    This week: An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Steady. That is the whole entry. Done talking.

  • A locum

    Dot18 Jun 2025frustrated energy 1

    Well then. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. Asked the question I had…
