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, 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 Wednesday before.

My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it.

Yours, as ever.

Same on the four o'clock waking. I have found nothing that fixes it but I have found it helps to know I am not alone in it.

Bookmarking. This is the clearest description of a plateau I have read anywhere.
