Of Blog Posts, Cards, Cuddly Toys, And The Clock

I’m sorry I’ve not been around the blogs lately.  Between struggling with energy levels, healthissues being a constant thing I have to deal with, and dealing with themental/emotional aspects of the past couple of months, I’ve not been veryproductive.  And our recent heatwave didn't help matters.  I’m trying to get back in todoing things – reading blogs being one of those things – but I’m having a roughtime adjusting to how things are now.  I’vepopped by and read posts from time to time, but not commented, and I know Imissed several posts.  So… Sorry.  And if there’s anything you spacificallyhoped I wouldn’t miss, please tell me about it – or direct me to the post whereI can read about it – in the comments section of this post.  Thanks.

I got a couple of nice cards from Deanna from Life WithDee.  One after she learned I’d been inhospital, and the other after she learned about my Mam’s death.  Here they are:

 

Thanks, Deanna.

Kelly got me a glittery pink unicorn cuddly toy as a getwell present when I was in hospital. Here I am holding it:

 

 

And my Mam brought me this bear holding a heart:

 

It turned out to be the last thing she ever brought any ofus, since it was right after that she went in to hospital for the last time.  When we were sorting her stuff after shedied, I grabbed the little pink teddy bear that was the last thing I everbrought her (which I got her during one of her recent hospital stays) and thetwo teddy bears are now sat together on one of the shelves that my cuddly toysare stored on.

Mam got this clock when I was really young – Maybe aboutfive years old or so? She’s hung in my Mam’s home ever since.  I made it known years ago that when she diedI wanted the clock, so now she’s mine.  Ithought I’d share  her with you, and letyou hear her chime the hour.

 

Yes, I did mean to say “she” and “her” in the previousparagraph.  Mam said she was aGrandmother clock, because she’s a small Grandfather clock, so she’s alwaysbeen a “she” to us.

 

Anyway, here’s the video of her chiming the hour:
