  • Awake at four

    Héloïse10 Jun 2025tired energy 4

    A brief account of the week. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Nix10 Jun 2025held energy 3

    Recording this for the record. 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…

  • Four minutes

    Solomon10 Jun 2025deflated energy 3

    Week in order: We are changing something and rechecking in twelve weeks. Not a catastrophe. A thing to watch. My lipids are worse while everything else is better. I…

  • Back

    Tam10 Jun 2025relieved energy 2turning point

    Three things this week. Back. Eight months away and I arrived braced for a judgement that has not come from a single person. Restarted afterwards with his surgeon's…

  • Nine minutes

    Noah9 Jun 2025brisk energy 2

    Well then. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Took the diary in. She read…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Aleks9 Jun 2025organised energy 4

    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 entire system and it…

  • Across the day

    Aria9 Jun 2025steady energy 1

    Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Was undereating without realising. The nurse…

  • Propped up on pillows

    Huw9 Jun 2025sore energy 3

    This week: 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. Sore at the injection…

  • I nearly did not write

    Lil9 Jun 2025fine energy 1

    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. That is the whole entry.…

  • Before nine

    Linnet9 Jun 2025steady energy 5

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the…

  • I nearly did not write

    Ravi9 Jun 2025steady energy 1

    Recording this for the record. Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No…

  • Dreams

    Sonia9 Jun 2025rested energy 4

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…

  • Off the floor

    Viv9 Jun 2025quietly delighted energy 5turning point

    Well then. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Slept flat. Wrote one line: "Flat. Whole night. Flat." Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Up the…

  • Where the pen lives

    Annika8 Jun 2025organised energy 5

    A quiet week. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Two lines a day in a paper…

  • Both bags, one go

    Ash8 Jun 2025pleased energy 2

    Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in…

  • Quiet

    Ashwin8 Jun 2025flat energy 5

    Week in order: 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. Steady.…

  • She read the diary

    Bay8 Jun 2025heard energy 2

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what I needed, and I have booked with my own GP for next month. She…

  • What is your secret

    Carl8 Jun 2025awkward energy 5

    Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Clemmie8 Jun 2025steady energy 3

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. I have…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Ray8 Jun 2025steady energy 2

    Right. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Harlan8 Jun 2025held energy 2

    Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing…

  • Grip

    Ives8 Jun 2025tired but good energy 1

    Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in March, and he is annoyingly…

  • Somebody new

    Kai8 Jun 2025warm energy 1turning point

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it…

  • Nothing to report

    Maeve8 Jun 2025steady energy 2

    Well then. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Tomorrow, honestly.
