Is it just me or is it all of us with HD?

Time seems to go differently. It's as if when I do something that takes 3 hours it feels more like 6 ...very s-l-o-w------------------so I will now say I live on HD time :)

I had to do a few different things today, dentist etc but pushing a walker does slow me down or is the HD o r is it the lack of sleep from my body constantly moving.
Or maybe it's a combination of it all.

Also today when I was crossing at a red light I was so slow the light changed before I got to the other side so a man in a van honked his  horn at me. I  really was shocked here I am doing the best I can a big smile on my face so when I turned to see him telling me hurry up I said with a smile 'kiss my ass'.
I will not put an Irish curse on him I will not put on Irish curse on him---Jenny warned me but I was mad.
Also I'm wondering what the luck of the Irish is- it seems to me not so good...
Really glad Carmen taught me how to knit it is keeping me sane.

I got a Christmas card from my friend Jan in OS today - she suggested not buying any glass - my brother also suggested getting elbow pads and have paper dishes. Thanks  I will take that under consideration.

Today when I was getting groceries though I was reaching on to the shelf on the freezer, sent a few things flying so I reached for them and smucked my face so hard on the glass door my glasses pushed into my eye ball so I couldn't see out them on the one side..
Good thing I can laugh at myself ..
Looking forward to having Jenny here next week
She'll protect me from the man in  the van and the glass door in Thrifty;'s
that's all for now

candy canes, crappy days and magic

Ok I was feeling sorry for myself today - had muscle and joint pain and the normal HD stuff like not being allowed to drive .....
My cousin called I said ok I'm  having a rough day she said well everyone has days like that (really?!)
I said but I have 3 things today going on with my health and I have to go do some errands in 2 degree weather and not being able to drive........

So I dropped off cat food Bonnie the brat cat can't eat to Bosleys for them to give to the needy animals.
Then I picked up a parcel ---thank you Maureen----
Then I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things and while I was in there somehow with this HD things go flying out of my hands like the little basket-not even sure how I do things like that.
I walked down the aisles somehow with the walker the little yellow basket from Thriftys on the seat of the walker.
After I emptied the groceries onto the counter I went to put the  basket down but it went flying out of my hand and landed on the man  in line behind me. I said 'sorry' but I don't think he heard.
Oh well maybe there should be special HD shopping hours where it's acceptable to knock things over and drop things.
Last week I saw the  as the  woman at the assisted living place put it 'I'd be lucky(!) to get assisted living room. It was like a cell - but maybe worse than a cell just a narrow cot, counter, microwave, bathroom that's it no room for anything else.

Anyhow today as I was walking back from the store feeling very sorry for myself a  bus slowed down beside me . I was cold, wet , achy, tired I was thinking strange the bus is slowing down there;s no stop for half a block. I turned to look at it and there were lights flashing all over it - instead of 601 it said 'merry Christmas' the bus driver was dressed like a reindeer and as the door opened Mr and Mrs Santa reached out to  me and passed me a candy and said 'Merry Christmas'..
I just about cried - I was touched(well even more touched than I was before ) ok now I do believe in Santa and hope and magic.
As always my journey is made so much easier surrounded with love and support of my friends and family
