Month: March 2023

NOT the Clip but…

I was talking to Sean a couple days ago and I told him that I am reminded of the movie, Love and Other Drugs. I know that I’ve written about that movie extensively because I really like it!

I want to watch it again but my Mom is living here with me now and I’m sure she’s not going to enjoy that at all! The reason I was referencing that to Sean is because there is a scene where she needs pain medication and she is trying to open her pill bottle. She is having a very difficult time!!!

I told him that I feel exactly like that every single morning as I am trying to open and close my nutrition shake. It’s about halfway through the shake that my hands become a little more normalized. And then I begin to squeeze my therapy putty.

I didn’t sleep last night and I am trying to find that clip but I can’t. I think this clip is just after the scene that I am talking about and that I was referencing to Sean but this is how it feels. I don’t have Parkinson’s so it’s different but the sentiment is the same 22 years in… This is not the clip and it’s a little crass but:

March 2023 Faves

I am a day late posting my faves for March. It’s my birthday month and I don’t know what’s going on?! Actually, I know exactly what’s going on!!!

I think what is happening is the culmination of 22 years with this mother b*tch is proving to be a little too much!!!

I have been listening to Carrie underwood. “Some hearts” Carrie underwood because that reminds me of our second apartment (Aug ‘06 – Aug. ‘09) when I would still leave my crutches at the front door I don’t walk around freely in my apartment. By the time I bought my house, I was using my manual chair all of the time.

This disease progression is really getting to me but I listen to these songs as I am absentmindedly playing solitaire or the match game and I am transported back there and that’s comforting for me because this hurts awhile lot!!!

I play the album on loop and these are some of my faves:


I am standing at the sink doing dishes and Sean is asleep. Maybe I am brownies baking… it’s all pretty bitter sweet.

Gypped

Well, today officially starts “Birthday Month” and I will be 41 this year but I have to tell you all that I will be gypped this year!

My actual birthday falls on daylight savings time day. That means I will be gypped out of one full hour of birthday festivities!!! That stinks! But it really doesn’t matter!

I watched The Quiet Man today because it is close to St. Patrick’s Day and I love that movie! I grew up with that movie and I named my son Sean!
