I intended to get up early today, and post links to my latest vlog on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram before my wife gets up. I’m awake at 6am, but that seems a little too early for a Saturday. I’m awake again at 7.20am, and that seems a reasonable time to get up. I fall back to sleep until gone 8am. So much for an early start!
I get up, feed the dog and put the kettle on. My wife appears, so I make the tea and coffee – the weekend has begun.
Some friends of mine are coming to visit tomorrow lunchtime. We intend to entertain them on our boat, but the house needs to be spick and span just in case the weather turns out to be grotty and we have to entertain them at home. So I am on dusting and vacuuming duties (and dog walking) while my wife does everything else.
This afternoon we both do a little work down on our allotment – well, actually, my wife does quite a lot of work and I do a little work. I spend about half an hour digging up weeds, and then I’m knackered and in need of a sit-down at home.
Tremor seems a little better today, although it was giving me trouble first thing this morning. Voice is weak, but better than it was yesterday. Muscular stiffness and weakness are present but not giving me too many problems. Balance and walking aren’t great, but at least I’m not falling over. Mood and motivation are fairly low, but I am managing to get things done, so nothing too serious.
Beer, a pinch of cannabis, Dexter on Netflix followed by a reasonably early night.
