It was a better night last night. I was awake at 1.15am, 4.45am and 6am, but I went straight back to sleep again, so not too much of a concern. My wife’s alarm goes off at 7.15am, and we survive 2 hits of the snooze button before getting out of bed. Power on. Get dressed. Downstairs.
My wife delivers tea, Nutriblast and her smile to me. Don’t know what I’d do without her. She disappears off to work, and I sit and try to make some plans for the rest of the day.
It’s a grey day here in North Norfolk. It’s not exactly raining, but it’s in the air when I take the dog for her first walk of the day. She doesn’t mind it though… I get back indoors as soon as possible, and scan my “To Do” list for indoor tasks. I need to make a couple of internet purchases, so spend some time finding the best prices and placing the orders. That’s 2 more items crossed off the list! Around lunchtime I mildly self-medicate (cannabis) because my tremor is getting to me a little, and I still don’t dare to increase brain stimulation because of the dyskinesia in my right arm and leg. The cannabis helps a little and I’m not making quite such a hash of typing my blog!
Motivation is still a bit of a problem. About the only thing that gets me off my backside and out of the house is the dog. She knows it’s time for her afternoon walk and nags me until I get up and find her lead. I get back from dog walking and, while I’m still on my feet, I empty the dishwasher and tidy the kitchen so my wife doesn’t have to do it when she gets home from work.
