Parkinson's is like a hole in your grocery bag. Some of the groceries have fallen out and been lost. What do you do ?

Check for holes first☺️
@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member spoon theory as I understand it is something like you start the day with a number of spoons, and each task costs you one spoon. No spoons left, no tasks completed. You can borrow spoons from tomorrow...but then you get less spoons tomorrow.
The reason I prefer the D&D model is that in spoons theory you always know how many spoons you have and how many spoons each task will take...in the bad D&D model, you can end up going into a task "blind", not knowing if you can complete it or not.
Parkinson’s is just another form of illness. Beyond our control as far as if we get it and how it manifests itself in us. Believe it or not, there are worse things that could happen to you. So I’d say carry an extra bag to carry part of your groceries in. That way you should make it home with at least part of your load. Oh, and maybe stop along the way to see if you can help someone else ( like the lady sitting in the rain!). It just might help both of you if you do.
