A brief account of the week.

I wanted to stop this week. Said so out loud in circle, which I had not planned to. Six people said they had been there. Nobody tried to fix it.

Flat, described in the register of a book review.

Three months of no change and my blood pressure has come down anyway. Two things can be true at once and I keep having to relearn that.

Ada said something in circle that has stayed with me: that a plateau is weather, not a verdict. I have written it on a card.

The plateau has been going on longer than the part before the plateau. That is an odd thing to sit with.

Enough for one evening.

Do you want to come to the Thursday circle? You would not have to say anything.

This is why I read the boring weeks. Thank you for the boring weeks.

Have you got someone to go with you? If not, several of us will be on the call on Sunday.
