We have Natashia... She's a Respite Care Worker from the Carers Assoc. who comes for three hours on Thursdays to look after Mum and let me get out to do shopping, go to the doctor, collect prescriptions, etc...

Well last Thursday, not only did she wash and style Mum's hair, do her D, arrange a weeks supply of D supplies in the order I need to access them, and get Mum a sandwich and a cup of tea... But I came home from the doctor's to find the Christmas Wreath on the front door, the Window Ornaments in situ., and lighting, AND the Christmas Tree up and decorated in the Living Room!!!... She just said 'I thought while I was here, I'd save you the trouble of doing it!'... How's that for service!.... Bliss!....

Thanks Tash... You're one in a million!....

Darth....

She is a keeper , for sure!

I am waaaaay behind in all my preparations. I haven't done any of my shopping (except SS for IHD)! Sigh.

Willow, and Cebu...

You're both right.... She's one in a million!...

Aleta, knowing what's been going on in your life recently, I doubt anyone is expecting you to be 'on time'.... Go with the flow... Something doesn't get done???... The world won't end!....

Love to all...

I went last week and got myself a little fake white Christmas tree and decked it all out in pink! Yes including the lights!!! Cuz that is just how I roll. So now my pressie sits and waits for 15 more days under it.  :santahat;


I mailed off my Secret Santa gift and I do hope that she got it. The post office said it would be there by last Saturday.
