Was a cool day and I almost couldn't stop shaking. Finally, went back to bed, wrapped up and managed to get quiet. Still on the edge with it all for today.

Last night I couldn't get quiet like I've been doing in the evening. It was chilly, but I thought I was wrapped up enough to offset things. Didn't happen.

Got up early this morning, did my exercises (was chilly), made some oatmeal (hot) and took my walk (cool). Came back and couldn't stop shaking. Went downtown to pick up mail. Saw man that has PD who now lives in the downtown area. He was in his jogging suit doing a slow-motion jog down the street. He's lost a lot of weight--looks awful! But he's still moving, though somewhat slowly and with a lot of effort. I thank goodness for my still less severe symptoms, but can't help but worry--especially as I was shaking when I saw him.

But, been chanting a lot today and things have quietened. I slept the entire afternoon. Had lunch at DeeDee's (warm and spicy), but came back and went out--which seemed to help bridge the shaking. Here's to a peaceful evening!
