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!

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
