SO Much Fun From Surprising My Friends!!
The other day I asked Dan to bring home $100 worth of lottery tickets because I wanted to mail them to my friends as a surprise! I also had him get two twenty dollar tickets for me. I don't play much and I rarely win!! Every once in a while I get on a binge and buy ten or twenty dollars worth! I mailed out the tickets to my friends and then I scratched my tickets. I won $100 on one of the lottery $20 cards! So that actually paid for the tickets I mailed to my friends as a surprise! I have NEVER won that much on any card, ever!! I got my own surprise that day!! My friends Jackie and Carol serenaded me on the phone with "Thank You For Being A Friend!" They also serenaded me for my birthday! They should go on the road as a traveling show! I am so happy that I brought a little bit of joy to my friends! And I hope someone wins BIG!! I also mailed a few cards to Olivia and Olya! They love to get mail! It is true that the more you give, the more you get! I got the nicest emails, text messages, phone calls and Facebook messages thanking me for the lottery tickets! And they brightened my day!!
I slept fairly well last night but I am still so tired today!! The Facebook page I started last year for People With Parkinson's is now a year old and I have over 800 members. That is bittersweet because I am happy that we all connected but sad that there are so many of us!
I see that the President wants the country to open but I am still afraid to go out in public. As soon as a vaccine is available, I will gladly get it and resume the life I once knew, but for now, I am a chicken! There are too many crazy people out there, I saw that a woman spit on a store employee and another woman went around licking foods in the supermarket! I am OK if I have to die right away but I am so afraid to have to go on a ventilator. My friend with PD told me that she would refuse a ventilator because so many people don't come off of it. I think that PD makes me feel less secure in what an outcome would be. I have so much trouble just moving from place to place in my house that I can't imagine being in a hospital bed and not being able to move around. I see the high number of deaths and I think of the sad families who have lost loved ones. What price for a life?? When it is your own loved one's life, no price is too high to pay!
