HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

        Happy Mother's Day to all of my blog readers! 
Yesterday I just dragged all day long!  I slept for less than 2 hours on Friday night!  I have no idea why I couldn't sleep other than Parkinson's insomnia. I had even taken a 30 minute walk on Friday afternoon so I thought I would sleep well! With Parkinson's, I rarely can make sense of much!

SUNDAY
         I am so proud of Olya!  She got two of her grades from her Spring semester and so far, she has 2 As!!  I am so happy for her because she works so hard!  I hope the college goes back in September to in person classes but I don't
 think a decision has been made yet! Part of me wants her to go back to finish  and enjoy her Senior year but the other part of me is scared.
        Today was such a wonderful Mother's Day!! Dan and I went to the cemetery to visit Amy and then we went to Home Depot. He had filled out an online order the day before.  For Mother's Day, Dan and the girls got me five flats of annual flowers and we needed topsoil and a new shovel.  I just LOVE flowers!  Olivia and Olya planted most of the flowers. A BIG surprise was that Adam and Renee and Sandy stopped by!!  Adam went to his country club to golf and stopped by to say hello!  Renee stayed for  a while and kept social distance!

We filled ten flower pots! They look so pretty! My PD was in my way while I was trying to plant the flowers. It is so annoying to have a movement disorder when you want and need to move!!  Olivia made a sign for me and decorated my bedroom door with crepe paper!     

It was a huge sign she hung on the wall across from my bedroom door! I was so excited!   After we finished planting, Olivia and Olya and I painted rocks. We had washed the rocks yesterday so they were ready to be painted today!! We had a lot of fun painting!!



 Olya made a cake for me, 6 different color layers and it tasted so delicious!!         
       

Olivia made filet mignon steaks on the grill, the food(always about the food) was so delicious!!   My gift was a new garden stone and a $30 lottery ticket(no wins)
. It was such a wonderful day, just wish my PD could  have gone out of town for the day!! I tried to plant a few flowers in the ground out front of my house but my PD just would not let me move the way I needed to so I will try again to plant tomorrow!

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 called my DIL Kat for her birthday.  I forgot that she is taking online classes so I left her a message and said we would call later!  Then

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 small gifts for them and hopefully they will arrive in the mail soon!

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.  Olivia thought it was a lot of food but it is all gone now!!          Yesterday I w
