Insomnia is a vicious cycle with me and PD. When I don’t sleep well, all of my PD issues are front and center. And when I am tired, my balance is off. For the last few days I barely slept. I took all of my meds but I felt like they didn’t work at all. Then I sit around and get bored! Olivia and Olya went camping for the weekend so our house was quiet! We had two more bats in the fireplace but they couldn’t get into the house. That fireplace surround has two giant rolls of packaging tape around it!!
Olya ordered a few new key chains from Amazon. She let me pick one and i chose the sunflower one. Olya and Olivia are good at sharing. My friend recently told me that she has no relationship with her adopted daughters. She is a wonderful and sweet person and i know she was an excellent mom to them. So many adopted kids have attachment issues. She is the fourth person I know with kids adopted from Ukraine whose kids completely separated form them. That is so sad. Sometimes the kids are so damaged from being institutionalized or from living with alcoholic parents before being removed from their birth homes that they just don't know what love is. They seem to expect to get everything they want but eventually the money train ends.
Last night I slept for 6 consecutive hours!! I can’t remember the last time that happened! So today when I got up, I felt great. I was supposed to have a dentist appointment to get a new veneer but they called and cancelled. Olya and I went to Kohls because she wanted to get another birthday gift for her boyfriend Matt. She also got a few things for herself!! I didn’t buy anything, but it felt good to be out of the house!
Then we went to Michaels Craft Store. I bought a rock tumbler and a few craft kits. WE stopped at a creek near where we live and we collected some rocks. I felt like i was going to fall into the creek because my balance is still off. As soon as we got home, Olya set up and started the rock tumbler. The rock tumbler is LOUD!!! I bought a stepping stone kit for my garden! I will work on that tomorrow! I have a bereaved parent meeting tomorrow night but I don’t think I can go. I don’t like to drive far when my PD acts up so I will have to see how I feel tomorrow.

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...
