I wake feeling much better (mentally) than I was yesterday. I don’t feel as irritable and angry with the world. My dystonia has also subsided a little, and it’s more comfortable to walk. Dyskinesia is still around, but it’s not too troublesome. Tremor is a bit more of a feature, however, especially in my right leg, which just won’t stay still. I’m determined to carry on making the shelves for the dining room fireplace today, no matter what. I think that I can do so, in spite of the tremor. I have a lot of lower back pain this morning, and am feeling quite stiff and creaky in general – probably due to the physical work that I did yesterday, rather than the changes I made to my device (I hope). We’ll see; if it gets no better in a day or two, perhaps I’ll have to reconsider.
I plan out my day…
- Walk the dog.
- Popmaster.
- Work on the fireplace until 2pm.
- Package my kefir orders (I sell kefir grains on eBay, since being advised to incorporate it into my daily diet) and take them to the post office by 3pm.
- Make a pot of tea, and sit out in the garden with my neighbour for half an hour.
- Take my car in to Autowerke to have the necessary work carried out for my MOT test.
All goes according to plan, apart from the fact that I would have liked to have finished the shelves. I’m a little bit late leaving to take my car to Autowerke, though – my neighbour enjoyed his tea so much that he asked for another cup (I must make great tea!) – but, even so, I got there before the owner closed up for the day.
My wife picked me up from the garage and took me home, and I still found the energy (and the motivation) to take our dog out for her afternoon walk.
Dinner, a cheeky beer, and an early night!
