2017-01-29 – Not much help, really.

I need to plan my days and weeks a little better.  I have so much to do, and yet never seem to achieve very much.  If I can plan to do just a couple of hours per week working on the various projects around the house that I have started and not finished, then perhaps I’ll feel a little better about myself.  As it is, my wife seems to do the lion’s share, and I’m not much help, really.

I need to make a frame and door for the cupboard in the dining room (which is just a set of open shelves at the moment).  I need to make cupboard doors for the base units in the kitchen.  I need to make doors for the lounge/hallway, bathroom and cupboard in our bedroom.  I need to replace the bath and finish tiling the bathroom walls so that we can use the shower (we are both fed up of having to have baths every day).  Most of all. I need to locate all of the tools and materials required to accomplish the aforementioned tasks – a major task in itself!

My wife walks the dog, and then goes off to do some more work on the allotment.  I go along to help, and manage about 10 minutes of digging before I’m knackered and heading back home for a sit down.  I do manage to split a few logs and fill the log basket.

My tremor doesn’t seem so bad today – it’s still very close to the surface, but only breaking through occasionally.  Dyskinesia is still there, but not a problem.  Dystonia, ditto.  Rigidity was very noticeable when I was trying to pull up weeds at the allotment, but in reality is much the same as it has been recently.

We go to see my wife’s parents this afternoon.  At least that stops my wife from doing chores for a couple of hours.
