2017-01-24 – Good neighbours.

We had an early night last night, but it took me ages to get off to sleep.  I had the same problem the night before – wide awake for ages, and then the restless legs kick in…  I meant to self medicate with a little cannabis before going to bed last night, but forgot to do so.  I’ll try to remember to do so tonight!

My wife is babysitting our granddaughter this morning, so she is up and out of the house by 6.30am.   I have a lie in and get up at 7.30.

I start working on my CBD oil review video (after walking the dog) and import the raw footage onto my MacBook.  I will need to film some pieces to camera to link it all together, so I bring my camera and tripod into the dining room and then set about writing a script.

When I planned a day of filming and editing for today, I had forgotten a minor detail – we are having a trailer-load of logs delivered this afternoon and I need to prepare for them!  I clean the log basket out, sweep the hearth and vacuum downstairs.  Then I go into the back garden and sort out the tarpaulin that we use to cover the logs.  Just enough time to take the dog for her afternoon exercise before the logs are delivered…

My balance (and walking) seem a little better today.  Left leg tremor is being a bloody nuisance – might have to have a think about increasing the voltage on the left side, but not today.  Dyskinesia is in my neck (to a degree), and increasing the voltage on the left has (previously) increased dyskinesia in my neck.  Rigidity is still proving a problem, and I really notice it when I am having to bend over to prepare the space in which to stack the logs.

The logs arrive and are unceremoniously dumped in the road by the gate that accesses our back garden.  My wife arrives home, bang on cue, to help me carry the logs into the back garden and stack them against the back wall.  One of our neighbours sees my wife and I struggling with the huge pile of logs, arrives with a wheelbarrow and proceeds to help us move the wood – isn’t it nice to have good neighbours?

Darkness falls as we are stacking the last of the logs, so my wife finishes the stacking while I carry the (full) log basket into the house and get the fire lit.
