This blog entry is being written Thursday afternoon late for publishing at 0800 Friday 26 April 2024. Wednesday evening I had a “good” PD experience – no alarms and woke up Thursday morning feeling good. I decided to make a run to town and go to Farm & Fleet to pick up a new battery for our JD ZTR lawn mower that refuses to start, go to Walmart for groceries, and to CVS to pick up a script for my wife. Three stops that even a patient on PD should be able to accomplish without difficulty.

I made it to Farm & Fleet and purchased the battery. I made it to Walmart but by the time I had finished purchasing $128.00 of groceries, I was wiped. Went on to CVS and picked up my wife’s script, and was even more wiped. Got home and my wife helped unload the groceries, I put the battery in the lawn mower and it started right up. I had it hooked to our trailer loaded with mulch and backed it out of the single garage (we have d double garage with a side anteroom and a complete single-car garage too in which we park our lawn mower, golf cart, and other assorted “stuff.”) I positioned the trailer/mulch where we want him to work this evening.

After this, I crashed on the couch. This morning my blood pressure was 97/62. I suspect during my shopping it dropped even more resulting in my being pooped. This is not like me and I don’t appreciate this happening one bit. While we will deal with it, we are seeking a more long-lasting solution.
