I’m definitely having a little more trouble in getting off to sleep just lately – even when I have self-medicated with cannabis. I do hope this isn’t the beginning of disrupted sleep patterns. I woke at 3am and 4am but got straight back to sleep. My alarm went off at 7am, but I didn’t get up until 8am.
I take the dog for an early walk – I have to drop my wife off at work this morning (her car has been in for repair) and have decided to pop into Asda in Norwich to stock up on beer (my son and his girlfriend are coming down for a couple of days). I need to get back at a reasonable time to finish scripting my weekly vlog, then film, edit and publish the video!
It starts to snow as we are on our way to my wife’s workshop in Hevingham, and it continues to chuck it down all the way into Norwich. When I come out of Asda, my car is completely covered in snow, and I get very cold and wet just putting my purchases in the boot. The entire car park is a skating rink, and it’s chaos! Everybody is just slipping and sliding, and it takes me nearly half an hour just to get out of the car park. I return to Southrepps doing a stately 20mph most of the way. The temperature in Southrepps is about 1 degree Celcius above the temperature in Norwich, and the snow has melted, which I’m most grateful for. I get the shopping in, and then get started on my vlog.
I break for 15 minutes to take the dog for her afternoon walk and get some logs in, then I light the fire and finish editing my video. By the time my wife gets home I have published my vlog, popped a top on a bottle of beer, and am relaxing on the sofa. Tremor has been better (again) today, as has dystonia. Balance is worse, and my wife gets quite alarmed at one of my near misses this evening – luckily there’s a chair in the way to break my fall. My voice seems weaker as well, but perhaps that’s just because it is getting more use than normal because I’m filming my vlog…
Time to watch a movie on Netflix, and then we can try to get an early (ish) night.
