I’m not having a great day! I want to get my vlog scripted, filmed and loaded onto my MacBook today. Our granddaughter is spending the day with us tomorrow, so filming is really out of the question. If I can get that done today, then I can spend some time tomorrow editing it, and get it uploaded to my YouTube channel by tomorrow evening.

I take a break and walk the dog, hoping that that might calm my tremor, which it does (to some extent).
I finish the script around lunchtime, and then get the camera and tripod set-up in the lounge.
