We all awake to an uncertain new world this morning, although I don’t realise it until I’m switched on, dressed and downstairs with the first cup of tea of the day. So we have voted to leave the EU, and you would think that the world is about to end. I really can’t get too stressed about it right now – it’ll all settle down again soon… We are still in the EU until such time as we actually part company with it, and that’s 2 or 3 years away yet!
I have no energy, and no inclination to do anything today – and that’s nothing to do with the state of the world, it’s just the state of me. Thankfully my dyskinesia isn’t quite as bad as it was yesterday. Balance, tremor, dystonia, energy and motivation are all pretty much the same. I haven’t spilt anything today, and I can write and sign my name, so I’m really not that bad.
I manage to get out of the house for 10 minutes, courtesy of our dog. If it wasn’t for her, I’d just sit here on the sofa the whole day long. I do manage to do a couple of minor things – I got the washing in from the line, and I emptied the dishwasher. I intended to iron the washing and then pop to the allotment and do a little more weeding (because it’s a beautiful warm and sunny day), but don’t manage to do either of those things. I started looking online for an adjustable spanner to fit the Calor gas bottle regulators (there’s no mains gas here), but didn’t complete that task either. It’s pathetic, isn’t it? I have so many things that need doing, and so many things that I want to do, but I can’t get off my fat backside to do them…
Before I know it, my wife is home from work. We take the dog for her afternoon walk together, which is nice. We are going out to The Vernon Arms for dinner tonight (with the £30 voucher that we won in the Open Studios draw), so we are both looking forward to that.
Dinner is good – well up to the usual standard! We finish off with a really good mocha cheesecake, and then stagger up the road to let the dog out and get to bed.
