Inside Parkinson's

COVID and wearing masks is on everyone’s minds.  Many of us are staying at home to avoid contracting COVID-19.  We are all trying new ways to adjust to the new normal because none of us have ever been through anything like this.  I keep remembering, when I was working, all I wanted to do was stay home.  Now that I’m staying home, I want to go out.  Isn’t that the way?  We always want something else.  I realize that I should only refer to myself.  I’m sure all the readers of this blog are not wanting to get out of the house.

What do we do to get through this? One of my goals is to get outside,  so I have been walking in the park regularly.   Distraction is the best way to deal with staying home.   Do you have projects around the house you can do?  Fun projects, not the maintenance or decluttering project: painting, coloring, crafting, sewing, knitting, crocheting?   Start working on the project again and see if you can finish it.  I’m going to do the same thing myself. 

I find that baking can be a nice diversion. Certainly, looking for delicious desserts is fun.  I found two links to different cheesecakes:

• The first recipe is from OMG Chocolate Desserts for  Hershey’s Chocolate Cheesecake and it looks simply scrumptious.
• The second is for gluten-free and vegan readers and is a Vegan Cheesecake from The Big Man’s World.

Now, I have never made these, but that’s the fun of it, right?  Cook or bake something you have not made before.   Take up a new hobby: drawing, coloring, painting, knitting, crocheting, or crafting?  Any hobby will work.  Hopefully, this time will pass quickly and we shall soon see our family and friends.  In the meantime, be safe.
