We were moderately successful in getting an early night last night. We were a whole half an hour earlier in getting to bed – my aim was to be in bed by 10pm; we managed 10.30pm. Another effort to hit my original target will be made tonight!
I was aiming to script and film my weekly vlog today, so that I wouldn’t be under so much pressure tomorrow, but I failed miserably. By the time I had had my morning cuppas and Nutriblast, walked the dog, listened to PopMaster, read The Metro online, checked my email and scanned my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts, the morning has simply disappeared.
I start writing the script for my vlog around lunchtime – the subject matter is the effect of Parkinson’s Disease and Deep Brain Stimulation upon speech, so I have spent a lot of time over the last day or two just thinking about my voice (or lack of). I take a bit of a break to walk the dog, and then drive to Lidl in North Walsham for some essential supplies (beer and vegetables). When I get back home, I prepare the evening meal – nothing too involved, but it just means that my wife won’t have to do it (for a change) when she gets through the door.
My tremor is breaking through (both sides) from time to time, but it’s bearable. I’m still aching from my gardening stint on Tuesday, and my balance and walking aren’t so good today. My mood is still somewhere between motivated and complete indifference, so better than it has been, but not as good as I would like. I have a number of things that I really need to do, and I’ve been putting them off – now I’m feeling under pressure (from myself) because I haven’t done them yet. I think I’ll write myself a “To Do” list and see if I can make some progress by the end of next week.
