  WOYWW - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday! 

Visit here to find a friendship ring that goes on  . . .and on . . .and on . . 

What a bright sunny morning we have here . . .  the outside temperature is just about freezing and the only way it is moving is downwards to -5C so I'm staying indoors.

Oscar and I are learning to live together, under protest some times as cylinders are not all the same type, and my hands cannot grip very well to turn the dials . . .  but we're getting there . . .

The desk:

Not the sort of card one enjoys making but there seems that a lot of goodbyes to parents have been said lately so I need to up my stock.

Then it will be thank you cards for the hospital ward staff.  

It has taken me some time to get into the craft room as I have slowly been taking down the Christmas tree and village . . . so slowly I was tempted to just leave it all up ready for the next one!!  lol

But I'm here so here's to the future at last . . . roll on 2024 . . . I'm ready for you now!

 Good Morning my friends from my desk here on home turf!!

I came home on January 6th after arrangements had been put in place and my wonderful daughter took care of it all and waited for me to arrive.

My life has significantly altered now . . . I have a companion to accompany me everywhere I walk, namely an oxygen tank called Oscar.  Sometimes it travels in a back pack, sometimes it is in a trolley, but always within reach.  Yes, it is heavy (3Kg) and, I find, complicated to strap into either packs but it helps to stop a lot of my breathing problems.

I wont go into the details of why or how or when I ended up in hospital but tell you that I didn't realise how ill I was and it was thanks to a Locum Doctor who saved my life . . . . there's no two ways about that . . . 

On the plus side . . . I had a marvellous Christmas and New Year, the best for a long time.  I feel as though I have been away and stayed for two weeks in one of the best hotels  . . . honestly, it was so good.  The staff  . . . Oh! I don't need to tell you, you know  . . .  

So today being WOYWW I wander into my studio and what do I find . . . .

The desk:

December swaps waiting to be posted!!!

Just as I left it all.  

This craft space will HAVE to be sorted now as there needs to be room for Oscar in this crowded room . . . . 

It's good to be home, I miss all that I had over Christmas/New Year things like the heat!!, being waited on, food cooked for me. BUT

I am back and looking forward to this new life.

On a purely Christian note  . .  I have prayed for healing for a fair few months but I was like the man on the roof until The Locum Doctor came on the scene with the ultimate life boat.  I received a Scripture while in hospital telling me my prayers were answered and then another to tell me that my future would be different but it was assured.  

Without Jesus I could not have come through this, without His love and care to support me there would be nothing. I give Him all the praise, thanks and glory.

Well, I'm still here with no sign of a going home date!

I don't mind though, the staff are wonderful, the food is good and I am warm without the worry of big bills.  I will probably be sent home just before the snow hits town!!  lol   

I look forward to crafting madly when I do get home and being able to share some photos.... until then remember this is a New Year, all nice and clean....don't  get it dirty too soon!!

UPDATE

Sorry my friends for the  cryptic clue last week.  I only posted the Menu I was greeted with on arrival cos I didn't  people thinking "oh! No! How awful!"  when the choices were....Christmas on my own, suffering or in hospital, making friends.  I have had a wonderful Christmas and New Year just like being on holiday!!! So that's  how I'm  thinking of it.  Always wanted to go away for Christmas   lol

Please be happy for me not sorry or sad.. .
