Today I feel well rested and have energy!! I got up and went outside and did some gardening! First, I trimmed the bushes with my battery operated trimmer. I am afraid to use the electric trimmer now that I have PD. The battery operated trimmer is lighter and slower. Then of course, I had to sweep up all of the trimmings. Then I had to take a 20 minute break. The heat really bothers me. Then I weeded. It is so difficult to weed with PD. But I am determined to get rid of as many weeds as possible!! I HATE WEEDS. I am trying my best to come to terms with my weeds. I can’t use Round up weed killer now that I have PD. I use to use that stuff everyday. I use to have beautiful flower gardens in front of my house. Now I am trying to make myself content with planting perennials, especially the ones that grow and spread and cover the weeds. I love pinks and reds and lavenders. But now I am planting yellows and oranges and purples because the deer don’t eat them. I only have to cover my rose bushes with deer guard in the front of my house. They don’t like marigolds!! I don’t know what the purple bushes are called but the deer don’t bother them at all and they are the best weed hiders ever!
I decided to order a cheap IPAD from Walmart, I just need one to download ebooks from the library Hoopla account. For some reason, Kindle doesn't work with HOOPLA.
This week has two more family birthdays and the following weekend is Father's Day I think! I am wondering if there will be any July 4th parades this year!! I am sick and tired of the pandemic but that doesn't really mean anything! I miss my sister and my friends. I miss my bereaved mom groups and my book clubs! Thank goodness for Zoom meetings!
So many people gave me wonderful suggestions for my Big "C" problem and I can say that things are moving along very slowly! THANK YOU!! I definitely think that PD people learn best from other PD people!!Image may contain: house, plant, tree, sky, grass, outdoor and nature

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...
