It’s Friday, so it’s vlog day, which means more scripting, more filming, more editing. My son suggested that I vlog about my first 12 months since I had my deep brain stimulation operation, so that’s what I am going to do. I made a start on the script last night, but there’s still an hour or two’s work before it’s finished.
Tea, Nutriblast, dog walk, PopMaster. Then I am ready to get on with writing my script.
2 hours later my script is written, loaded into the teleprompter app on my iPad and rehearsed – it comes in at a shade over 5 and a half minutes, which is just about right. I manage to film myself with only a couple of retakes – my voice isn’t giving me as many problems as usual today.
I seem to be getting quicker at editing, as well – or maybe it’s just that I am getting more sloppy, less particular. Possibly… Anyway, I edit the vlog in under 2 hours, upload it to my YouTube channel and publish it.
Time for the dog’s afternoon walk. We meet up with some of her doggie chums, and she expends plenty of energy chasing someone else’s ball. My walking isn’t too bad, and my balance is also pretty good (I haven’t had to catch myself at all today). Tremor is under control and dystonia is only mildly uncomfortable. I’m having a good day!
We finished watching Homeland last night – very sad ending, and also very sad because it’s over and we need to find something else (equally as good) to fill our evenings.
