The weather here in Norfolk ain’t great today. It’s raining, grey and windy. I wonder if the weather has an effect on my mood, because I’m feeling spectacularly unmotivated (again), and really struggle to do anything at all. I know that apathy/lack of motivation/depression are all a part of the Parkinson’s Disease package, but perhaps I’m additionally suffering with seasonal affective disorder (SAD), so perhaps I need to put a light box on my Christmas present list (that I haven’t been able to motivate myself to write, as yet).
The dog drags me out for a quick walk around the field this morning – I’m very glad to get back inside the house in time for PopMaster, and I spend much of the remainder of the day just sitting on the sofa in the lounge, reading The Metro, and trying to do a little Christmas shopping online.
The dog persuades me to take her for another brief excursion late this afternoon, and then I split a basket load of logs and carry them into the house for this evening’s fire. I tidy the kitchen and light the fire before my wife arrives home.
