I slept a little better last night, only waking once (at 5.30am) but going straight back to sleep until my wife’s alarm went off at 8am. She is feeling a lot better this morning, and has decided she is well enough to go to work today. Not really sure what I am going to do today – I have a few things written down on my list of tasks, so I’ll probably spend some time just catching up with stuff.
It is forecast to snow today, so I take the dog for a walk while it’s still dry out there. It’s chilly but not freezing cold – doesn’t feel cold enough to snow.
- I have still got a load of video files to send to the Cleveland Cannabis College, so I copy some more into my DropBox folder, and then send an email to my contact there. Only another 2.5Gb of video files to go – it’d be nice to get them out of the way before the weekend.
- I order 2 bottles of Calor gas, and get the empties out of the gas bottle enclosure, ready for collection.
- I photograph my proof of No Claims Discount, and email it to my car insurance company.
- I bring logs in from the back garden and fill the log basket by the woodburner. I lay the fire and consider lighting it, but resist the temptation – it’s really not that cold. Still no snow, but it is now raining steadily and the sky is leaden with cloud. Hopefully it’ll stop for a while – I hate dog walking in the rain, and the dog isn’t too keen on it either!
My cold has pretty much gone now – I’m still sniffling and coughing, but feeling a lot better. Tremor control and dystonia have improved as well. My balance and walking are reasonably okay at the moment – not perfect, but okay. My voice seems to be a little stronger, too – I’m not strangling the end of my sentences at the moment.
I get lucky with the weather – it stops raining just before 4pm, so the dog and I dash out for a leg stretch and manage to return home just as the heavens are opening again. Time to light the fire!
