ALL ABOUT THE FOOD!!!!!!!!!

        I had a great sleep last night! I went to bed early and slept until about 6 a m.  I got up, showered, and dressed.  Then I caught up on CNN to see the numbers of covid 19 patients.  I cleaned my bedroom and made the bed and then went downstairs.  When I got up, I was really off balance because I didn't want to take my meds so early.   I was afraid to take them so early because I didn't want to be wobbly and off balance in the evening.  I can take 1.5 carbidopa-levodopa tablets three times daily.  I try to take them at 9 a m, 3 p m, and 8 p m.  I wish that I could take one extra dose a day because then I wouldn't have so many off periods. 
        Today our $500 food order from Giant was delivered. Olya came bounding down the steps to let us know that the delivery truck was in the driveway!  I think it was more exciting than Christmas morning!! Olivia had planned to make shish -ka- bobs for dinner!  Unfortunately,  after we put the food away, we realized that they didn't deliver the filets.  Dan ran to Acme to get the meat!  It took the delivery guy about 30 minutes to unload the truck!  And it took us close to half an  hour to put the food away! I called about our order and it took me a 65 minute wait on the phone to get through.  They charged me for 6 items that weren't delivered.  The guy asked me why I didn't call right away and I said I called as soon as we emptied the bags but that I had over an hour wait time to get through!
         Our refrigerator and our freezer are stuffed!!  I let them buy crap food that I normally would never allow but it is one of the few things they can do while under quarantine! I allowed them to buy sugary cereal!  They mostly ordered fruits and vegetables.  This time we ordered two dozen eggs because Olivia and Olya LOVE eggs. Every time I plan to make eggs, the carton has one left!





The shish ka bobs looked so pretty and smelled so good while they were cooking on the grill!! Olivia said as she was making the shish ka bobs, she remembered her grandmother in Ukraine soaking the wooden sticks in water because then they didn't burn!




They were so delicious!! Later in the day, I planted some of the flower seeds that my friend Debbie sent me for Easter!  I hope they grow!
         Olivia has gotten me hooked on a netflix series called TIGER king! It stars Joe Exotic, he is a crazy guy!! It has quite a cast of crazy characters!  
I hope everyone is staying in and being safe!

NEW BLOG

Image
        I started a new blog because I was having so many issues with my old blog!  But  I will continue on with posting about my life and experiences with PD! My new Blog is titled the Story of My Life with PD.  Yesterday we had a quiet Easter! Usually my sister's family and my niece Erica come for dinner!    Olivia and Olya did the scavenger hunt for Easter in the morning.  They foudn most of their items on the list. However, Olivia was missing a few pencils that I hid so she went inside and just added a few pencils to her bag!!  We gave them their prizes of $60 each in an envelope!  They said they thought we would give them a real gift! When isn't cash a real  gift??  I though they would be thrilled because they love ot go on Amazon and buy things.  They both ordered new sneakers form NIKE which cost $80 plus shipping so Dan gave the his credit card and they have to give us the cash back!I also ordered two sma...

A Once in a Lifetime View of my Daughter's Room! And Happy Birthday Kat

Image
         Olivia cleaned her room! I took photos to make sure I can always look back at it!! Last night I heard the vacuum cleaner running and I went upstairs. Olivia was actually running the vacuum cleaner! I said to Olivia, are you trying to give me a heart attack or what???  She showed me her bedroom! I rarely see the rug in her room because it is usually covered with clothes or other things!!  I am still in shock!!                         Olivia has her own bedroom, has a Glam room in the basement(with all of her make up , hair products, make up mirror/table etc) and a closet in our guest room with her extra clothes!!          Today I had lots of energy when I got up. my brain felt energized but my PD body did NOT!!  I took a long shower, made my bed, and went downstairs!  By then, my meds kicked in!  I read my emails and then I ...

Another Day, Another Take-out Order!!

Image
        Today I  had plenty of energy. I got up, showered, dressed, and cleaned my bathroom.  When I went downstairs, I felt wobbly.  I don't know why! I guess my PD is progressing.  If wishing could stop it from progressing, I would be normal brained again!  I just have to stop wishing and deal with my life as it is.  I do not think there will be a cure for PD in my lifetime.         I went for a walk with Dan when he came home at lunchtime. I try to make myself walk a little further each day! He brought McDonald's food home for lunch. The girls were thrilled  but I just wasn't feeling it!  I had a peanut butter sandwich instead!  Yesterday Olivia and Olya ordered take-out food from a local expensive restaurant. Their two meals cost them $45.  It did last them for two meals so I guess it was worth it!   He brought home 8 hamburgers/cheeseburgers, lots of fries and chicken tenders...
