I’m up bright and early (for a Sunday) because I want to make some progress with the bathroom tiling today – I have committed to finishing it by my birthday, which is on the 15th, so I’m starting to panic.
I have quite a lot of tiles that have to be cut to size (and shape), so I setup the electric tile cutter in the back garden and cut a few tiles. I then spend rather a lot of time mucking about with some plastic tile trim (that I wish I had never bought) trying (in vain) to make a professional looking job around the window and the door frame. By the end of the afternoon I have actually only stuck two tiles to the wall and now it’s getting a bit late to mix up another load of adhesive. Looks like I’ll be doing a lot of tiling this week!
My tremor is still pretty much under control, although it feels very close to the surface. I decide to try taking some Real Scientific Hemp Oil that I was sent (some months ago) to review – see how it makes me feel. It tastes pretty rank (and bitter) but the big surprise comes when I swallow it – it starts by warming my throat slightly (as other CBD oils have done), but then it feels like I have swallowed ground pepper and my throat feels on fire! I try taking a little coconut oil to soothe my throat, and follow it up with a mug of hot water to wash it all down. It quickly subsides, thank goodness, and I wait for it to take effect, hoping that the effects won’t be equally surprising. It takes 30 minutes or so to kick in, and the effects are nicely relaxing. I’ll have to take some more either tomorrow or Tuesday and film it for a video review. It doesn’t do anything for my voice, unfortunately, which is very weak and strangulated today, and disappears at times.
