I am going to work on my weekly vlog today. It’s a task that I generally reserve for Fridays, but this Friday I am going to be filming an interview with my local member of parliament, Norman Lamb, for the documentary “The God Plant“, so there’s a change of schedule.
I decide upon a subject (Repurposed Drugs For Parkinson’s Disease), and set about researching and writing a script. My tremor seems fairly controlled, and my voice, although occasionally strangling my sentences, is a little stronger than it has been of late. I still struggle with filming myself, though, and have many retakes. Eventually I’m ready to load the footage onto my MacBook and get a move on with the editing. Tremor is giving me a break this week, and that means that I have fewer problems when editing my video.
I take the dog for her afternoon walk, and then remember to send a list of questions to Norman Lamb’s office, so that he can be prepared – we only have 30 minutes of his time tomorrow, and it’s important that we get the most out of it.
I manage to finish editing my video before my wife gets home from work, which is always a good thing!
