Been a rainy, quiet day. My tremor is also quiet today. Perhaps the quietest day in a long while. I got up later than normal (slept in--I was really tired last night--good tired from yoga class), did Qigong, ate and went for a walk in a light rain.

Walk was good. Gait smooth for the most part and not much dragging with the right leg. I've noticed that if I bounce along instead of trudging my gait is better, more relaxed, and smoother. Came back and rested before heading out around noon to do some errands. Came back and ate (salmon burger) and rested once again. The tremor seems to like me getting a lot of rest.

Rebecca suggested that I make sure and watch at least one or more funny movies each week. I was going to walk down to the video store and pick up a few. Will do that either tonight or tomorrow. Need to pick up a set of ear phones so I can turn up the sound and not disturb my neighbors.

I stockpiled some soups and such today. Wanted to have some light meals on hand for those times when I've eaten enough during the day and just want a snack meal. My cupboards are getting filled. Trader Joe's is getting rich.

Been reading a collection of stories by a new writer, Christopher Coake, called "We're in Trouble." Good writing and good reading. Stories are edgy and slightly dark. Characters are well done and stories well plotted.

So been a lazy, hazy couple of days, but ones that were on the plus side vis-a-vis tremors and associated symptoms. May there be only more such days and nights.
