Last month my daughters were in a magazine. My husband was in a local magazine a few days ago!  Years ago, we were in the township July 4th parade.  We and a group of church friends were on a float and later we were a marching group!  Dan and his friends were called the Marvelous Marchers and they usually won first place and were crowd favorites!  In the photo they all are hot dogs with the slogan 12 guys named Frank and the Great American Barbecue!   Those were the days, the parade was five miles long, I could never walk that now that I have PD!

        I think I have found a new use for Miralax. I have been taking it because so many people suggested it for the Big “C” issue I was having.  Things are moving along slowly but I have been sleeping about 6-7 hours straight!! That has not happened in over a year, maybe even longer.  Maybe there are some sleep ingredients in it or something that I react to that makes me sleepy! I go out and water my flowers and pull a few weeds, but that is about it on really hot days!  We have an outdoor pool but our cleaner is broken, I took it to get repaired yesterday. I haven’t heard back from them yet. The company that opens our pool and checks it bi weekly is going to come over and vacuum the pool!

        Right now we are having a heat wave!  I don’t know about others who have PD, but I do not do well in the heat!  I get lightheaded and need to take it easy. I could not survive without air conditioning now that I have PD. 

        I’ve lost five pounds!  I think it is because I am afraid to eat anything that is chocolate or I think could contribute to the big “C” issue I have. Today I ate like a food fiend!  I couldn’t shovel it in fast enough! Tomorrow is my son-in-law’s birthday. I don’t think Renee has anything planned for him but I have a great gift for him. But I can’t give it to him until Fri!

        Next month is Olivia’s birthday and I was going to have a nighttime drive-by parade for her but she doesn’t want one!  I hope this isn’t like the “I don’t want you to come” on her last day of Cosmetology school. I asked her if there was a ceremony or anything like that and she said, “no, it’s just a “normal day” because everyone finishes at different times in Beauty School based on hours.” The she got mad that we didn’t show up!! Sometimes you just can’t win!!

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
