Another Sunday, well Monday in fact as the computer ate Sunday’s entry. I had half a page written when I tried to save it I couldn’t and lost all I had wrote so gave up and then forgot about it.

Sunday wasn’t the best of days, pain wise and shaking wise.

I tried to vacuum but it needs emptying, I asked Tim but I won’t hold my breath.

Monday and no school for two weeks, not sure how Leo feels about that as he does like school most of the time.

Just before 8am men turned up to do something to the roof. He was here for a few hours removed and replaced some tiles. He made a right mess he should clean it up.

The leak in the bathroom is also fixed and we now have a toilet roll holder and a towel rack.

Tim has a late start 5pm this is the latest he has ever started but he is only doing 5hrs.

Woke at 5.40 thought it was later due to how bright the bedroom was.

Graham came and checked out how the work that has been done so far. He and some other guy are talking about the new front ramp.

He also wasn’t completely happy with the bathroom.

Going to try giving myself a shower.

Woke at 5.25 to pee and decided to stay up.

The shower last night went fine, I was done and drying myself when Tash arrived to get me ready for bed.

Tim off work today due to medical appointments.

Kelli and Freya called in for a visit, it was so great to see them.

Had to get Tim out of bed to help me get clean undies on and my pants due to having a small accident while going to the loo, he wanted to know why I didn’t ring Tasha but it was only 5.30am and I still needed my morning wash.

Jess will be putting me to bed as Tasha is going out to catch up with a mate.

Woke at 5am to the sound of rain, went to pee and then to the kitchen for a sip of drink. I noticed the wet floor in the kitchen and got a container to catch it.

Thankfully we have not had much heavy rain.

Slept really well, waking to another wet morning. Had to wake Tim to help me get my pants on, at 7.30 I needed to pee so decide to take the pants off and toss them and put on another pair that I can get over my bum with ease, more or less.

I will have to sort through my clothes when it is warmer and toss all the pants with small holes in them, which is pretty much all of them.

Symptoms of Dystonic Tremor

The symptoms of dystonic tremor can differ from patient to patient. Sometimes sensory tricks can temporarily cause tremor to disappear, such as, if the patient has head tremor, then placing the head against a headrest or a light touch to the chin can resolve the dystonic tremor of the head. Dystonic tremor can also affect the patient’s quality of life and cause tiredness in the patient and feels of isolation in social gatherings. Anxiety or stress worsens all types of dystonia also symptoms of dystonic tremor. In some patients, a small quantity of alcohol can temporarily relieve the symptoms of dystonic tremor; however, patient can experience a rebound worsening of the dystonic tremor the next day.

Good morning on this coldish, wet morning here in Newie today’s extreme creature is the really cute Quokka.

They can be found in the south-western part of Western Australia in particular on Rottnest Island. There they win over the hearts of many visitors with their relaxed and friendly nature.

They are also known as the short-tailed scrub wallaby, is a small macropod about the size of a domestic cat.

While our quokkas are certainly friendly, touching and petting them is not permitted. Quokkas and birds on Rottnest Island have been known to deliver a nasty bite as well as carry diseases like Salmonella.

In 1943 American bakers were ordered to stop selling sliced bread for the duration of World War 11, only whole loaves were allowed. The reason for this was never explained, how it helped the war effort no one knows.

Karl Benz invented the car in 1885.

In the Stone Age people who didn’t feel well someone would cut a hole in the persons body with a sharp stone to allow the pain to escape…..Really how does anyone know that.

The ancient Romans had shows called Pantomimes hundreds of years ago, a man would read out a story while silent actors played the

A Flemish artist is responsible for the worlds smallest paintings in history, including a picture of a miller and his mill painted on a grain of corn.c

Had a good night, I woke Tim to help me this morning, he said he went to bed at 1.30am, I thought ok but I still need help.

Kathy came and showered my at Jess’s place.

Tim at last cleaned up out the back where I used to sit during the day as it was a right mess and I haven’t been able to sit out there since June due to the damage from the tree coming down.

Had a good night up at 5.40am and had Tim help me dress, as I had to unpack the dishwasher before she came down as she would only go off that her didn’t do it.

Tim up at 7.50am which is early for him.

Workmen turn up to work on the bathroom including the painter, at 2.30pm the plumber turned up to install toilet, sink and shower. It will be ready for use tomorrow.

Used the new toilet this morning there was water in front of the bowl so I placed a towel in front of it.

The guy in charge of the bathroom reno came and picked up all the rubbish and said someone should be here tomorrow to do the curtain rods.

Late this arvo the people came to remove the porta loo and shower.

Received part of my Kmart order a big box for two small packets of colouring pencils. Talk about a waste.

Another day to struggle through and it is suppose to rain today.

Sandy rang at 10ish to say she was coming to take me to the cemetery as Mum & Dad’s headstone as it now has two extra photos on it. One of Mum and one of Mum & Dad on their wedding day.

Tim sent me a messsge saying he was 3hrs early for work, he read the shift info wrong. He didn’t bother to come home though.

The bathroom guy came and installed the shower curtain.

Woke to the sound of rain at 4.30am, got up and went to the loo then to the kitchen to check the roof it was leaking so placed bowl to catch the water and turned the full dishwasher on.

A public holiday to mourn the Queen, also my 38^th wedding anniversary.

We had planned to go out for lunch but it was raining too much so cancelled. Had KFC instead.

Last day of term 3 for schools and still wet.

I am in a lot of pain in my knees and back. I let out a scream when I had a shot of pain in my knee. Tim came running out and was angry only because he was worried.

Jess came and got me changed for bed, I rang Tasha to come help me into bed and she was in a foul mood made me think I should have asked Leo.

Had a good night and I am in less pain this morning.

Tim picked up the shower chair from Sandy’s, so Kathy can give me a shower.

Kathy arrived at 1.30 and showered me and it was good.
