I was only fooling myself, thinking that I could finish transcribing the audio from my interview with Karl Sterling yesterday. There’s still 5 minutes or so that I haven’t yet done.
I get the routine tasks out of the way (tea, Nutriblast, dog walk, PopMaster) and then sit down and finish the transcription. Next task is to film my side of the interview, so I set up the camera and tripod and load the script into the teleprompter app on my iPad. I manage to get most of it in a single take, just requiring another take for a couple of questions that I managed to louse up.
I take a break around 3pm to dash out to get some logs for the fire (we have run out of logs at home until the next delivery, next week), and then take the dog for a ball chasing excursion.
My tremor is breaking through on my right arm and left leg today, but not too seriously. Dystonia in my right foot is also playing up. The thing that is troubling me most at the moment, though, is muscular weakness (in my legs, making it extremely difficult to get up off the sofa without causing a scene) and muscular stiffness in my right arm, which is affecting pretty much everything that involves using my right arm, from switching the table lamp on or off, to picking up my mug of tea.
I transfer the video to my MacBook and then send it to Karl in New York via Google Drive. I intended to do some work on the script for this week’s vlog today, but I’m tired and not feeling up to it, so that’s a job for tomorrow morning. I’m getting an early night tonight!
