My Parkinson's OC behavior

My Parkinson's doctor warned me that one of the meds I take could lead to obsessive compulsive behavior especially involving money or gambling. Well, folks, I think I am heading down that road. And it's so easy with t he internet!

But I only shop sales, mind you, even on the internet I don't pay full price. I don't want to tell you what my internet credit card b ill was last month. A good deal of it is the fact that I have to have clothes that fit and that is much easier than losing weight!!

But I knew I was in trouble when I found myself at the Lexus site yesterday. Now, my Avalon is only a little over a year old, had 11,000 miles on it and is a lovely car. Not only was I betraying my Avalon, I was looking at the RX 350 which is a sport utility vehicle. My sons would disown me! Fortunately I don't think you can actually buy it on line so I pulled myself back to reality with no harm done.

Can't you just see UPS dropping that one off?

Oh boy. I think if you want a different car you should go for it! I love my SUV (of course I have two kids and stroller, etc.) but not having to bend to get the car seat in and out and load and unload grocceries has been a lifesaver for my back. My car gets about the same gas miliage as most non-SUV sedan types of cars so that's really not an issue.

As for the OCD - I'm right there with you but I'm not on any meds! There are worse things to have.
