2016-09-12 – Continuing DIY

I wake feeling much better (mentally) than I was yesterday.  I don’t feel as irritable and angry with the world.  My dystonia has also subsided a little, and it’s more comfortable to walk.  Dyskinesia is still around, but it’s not too troublesome.  Tremor  is a bit more of a feature, however, especially in my right leg, which just won’t stay still.  I’m determined to carry on making the shelves for the dining room fireplace today, no matter what.  I think that I can do so, in spite of the tremor.  I have a lot of lower back pain this morning, and am feeling quite stiff and creaky in general – probably due to the physical work that I did yesterday, rather than the changes I made to my device (I hope).  We’ll see;  if it gets no better in a day or two, perhaps I’ll have to reconsider.

I plan out my day…

  • Walk the dog.
  • Popmaster.
  • Work on the fireplace until 2pm.
  • Package my kefir orders (I sell kefir grains on eBay, since being advised to incorporate it into my daily diet) and take them to the post office by 3pm.
  • Make a pot of tea, and sit out in the garden with my neighbour for half an hour.
  • Take my car in to Autowerke to have the necessary work carried out for my MOT test.

All goes according to plan, apart from the fact that I would have liked to have finished the shelves.  I’m a little bit late leaving to take my car to Autowerke, though – my neighbour enjoyed his tea so much that he asked for another cup (I must make great tea!) – but, even so, I got there before the owner closed up for the day.

My wife picked me up from the garage and took me home, and I still found  the energy (and the motivation) to take our dog out for her afternoon walk.

Dinner, a cheeky beer, and an early night!
