ME OR PD ??

When I was growing up  my nickname was Molasses.....moved slowly, always the last to line up
In junior high the requirement in PE was to "do" the mile in 13  minutes or less. My time was 12:59.
(Really !! If you didn't you had to do it over again, right then and there)
  PD or ME ?

I liked kickball, volleyball, softball and tennis. (skill, not speed, gave me a fighting chance.)
Gymnastics.....rope, balance beam, vaulting the horse, trampoline..........the activities that bring on nightmares ..........
No problem swimming, canoeing, typical summer camp activities  BUT lets not discuss hiking in the Blue Ridge Mts/hills
   PD or ME ?

So this brings me to the question of how much of my current abilities/disabilities are PD ?  Age ?
Personality? Anxiety ? or................

No answers, only questions

WHATEVER !!!!!!!!!!!

Promises

I made a promise that if we JUST didn't lose power.....electricity or cable , that I would NOT complain about the amount of snow, or how cold it is, or how long it took to clear our circle.
Promise kept. The white snow, blue sky, bright sun ....all stunningly beautiful.

The squirrels have been diligently digging out the bird feeder for themselves and bird friends. Our cats, White and Monkey, have been keeping watch over the front yard. They will hit the window with their paws if they see any unfair practices. A blue jay visited briefly.

I also made a promise to my family that I would NOT shovel any snow.....very hard for me not to shovel, I love shoveling..........THANKS to our kind neighbor Jeff and his snow blower.......(he came 3 times) our walkway and driveway are PERFECTLY clear . Now when it warms up a bit and melts I do plan to 'sweep and push' some snow. (not the same as shoveling)

Got lucky.

Found my Bra story so its also included.

Snow predicted for Friday/Saturday....should be pretty

Bras

The other day a friend asked me (and Arnie) to join him for dinner and I politely declined because, as

I explained, I had already taken off my bra. ( It was around 5 pm ). He told me I had given TMI.

I can remember getting my first bra. It was a 'ladies" shop in Friendship Hgts and OLD women helped you get fitted. Very embarrassing . Shaking and stuffing and jiggling.

I guess there will  always be a store that has a bra fitting department. Currently I go to Nordstrom at Montgomery Mall where now I am the old lady and kind young women help me stuff, shake and jiggle.

I think lots of women prefer NO BRA , not for radical or political reasons, but because it feels better and 'freer'........AAAHHHH.......... If there is ANY way to leave the house WAB *(without a bra ) I will do it. Like you could wear several layers , OR an undershirt, or WHO CARES?????
(my mother did)

This blog may be of little interest to A cups or some men. Double D's know. I recently saw in a catalog that had G cups.

I am thinking that maybe today will be day WAB ...............

Morning Musing

Good morning.
At about 4 am I wrote a funny story about BRAs.....when to take them off (4:30-5:00) for the day, (about the same time I have glass #1 of wine) when you can go without, alternatives you can wear. Anyway I saved the piece, because I thought that seeing I am writing at 4 am was a little 'off' BUT I have no idea where I saved it so from now on it will be publish or perish ( my work ).

PD info
When you have PD you take a lot of meds. Add meds for heel pain, vitamins , cholesterol , bone density, baby aspirin and that totals 6 pills in the am, one injection, and 2 patches. During the day there is 2 more PD pills, 1 pain and at night, 1PD, 1pain, 1 cholesterol . Thank goodness I don't need sleeping pills.....I would be to tired to take any.

PD Plus  positives) is that I have an excellent health care plan that includes very reasonable prescription costs. Another advantage is Handicapped Parking, and the kindness of strangers who open doors (especially if you carry a cane) and help carry packages. Perhaps if they knew that at home I can move furniture there would be less kindness. But the reality is (for me) is that for me moving furniture is easier that getting in and out of the car, stepping up curbs, crossing parking lots in a timely manner, AND it is f-ing freezing out !!!!!

TV remote

I think that the most important electronic convenience in the house is the TV REMOTE. When alone you can watch like 10 things at the same time, fast forward, record, stop a show to go to the bathroom, make the volume as loud or soft as you want, AND you never have to get off the couch.

Even if you are "sharing" the remote with another human, there are many opportunities  for practicing negotiation skills (you get 30 minutes, I get 30 minutes).  Creativity when no agreement or compromise can be reached is a great activity too. Hiding the remote is always amusing (to the hider)
Under a cushion or newspaper recycling pile or in your pants all work well.

Anger release is another benefit of a remote control such as
1. that show is stupid idiotic insulting
2. you've seen that episode a 1000 times ...try something new for a change
3. what else is on /whats coming on/ just pass it for a sec
(nothing personal, just about TV)

You could always leave the room and go to one of the TVs in the house, BUT sometimes......
ya know...........
