Welcome!

Welcome to Life with Tia. Don't know how well I'll do posting but figured I'd give it a shot. What I post may only be of interest to me, but if there are people who want to know what's up with me or how my brain works, or simply have nothing better to do, then read on. Please post comments. I need the encouragement and the opposing point of view (not that there will be any). Thanks for reading & posting. Hugs, Tia

5 Days til Christmas - YIKES!

I may be the only person on the planet who has done no (zero, nuttin', ain't been there) Christmas shopping. Who has had time or money much less the inclination? I've been caring for Papi (more on him later), working, traveling, volunteering at church and did I mention caring for Papi? - who has time?

Papi is doing ok. Still has some walking issues but has had a good attitude and is working hard. The man however, cannot understand that if he tries to walk by himself, he will fall. Lord,Help Me! He has no dexterity in his movements, so what does he do - he moves as if he's in a hurry to get some place. He's in a hurry for everything. Eating, moving, asking for stuff. I may lose what little mind I have left.

Poor dear. You gotta love him though. When he knows I'm nearing the end of my rope, he'll call me in the middle of the day to tell me he's had a good day in physical therapy, cause he knows that makes me happy.

So, I guess I'll have to shop this weekend. Hope no one is expecting something awesome.

Santa, can you help a sister out?
