I am afraid that the only things you will find on my desk today are leftovers from last week. I did manage to make some cards for the Tickled Pink challenge, but that is about as far as I got. My wonderful DH had a massive heart attack last Thursday as some of you know and since then I have been concentrating on him and trying to keep myself from falling apart. He is fine, the blocked arteries have been opened and stents put in. He stopped smoking immediately and is finding it very hard, but he is perservering and I am very proud of him.
This morning he was in the bath and I was sitting on the toilet (lid closed!) talking to him when he came up with this gem: "Dear, you do know that if I had died last Thursday, today would propably be my funeral." That is when it hit me, I think, and I have been crying since then.
Thought I would show you my die cutting and embossing area. Thats a mess too, I know, some containers of flowers were just dumped there. Think I need to remember what it says on the wall, just keep calm and carry on. Hopefully things will be back to normal soon in my household. Untill then I am so looking forward to the paying it forward part of this week, I can do with something beautiful just about now.
Have a great week everybody, see you next week.
Gosh, sorry to hear about your husband, but pleased to hear he is doing ok! Lucky old me follows you on the PIF! its all so exciting!

sorry blogger wont let me comment using my google sign in.
I am so glad that your hubby is on the mend ...and has a sense of humour about it all. I smoked for 46 years and gave up 3 years ago when DS said he wouldn't let me near the grandsons that were due, and longed for, if I smoked.I found that the nicatine capsules in a mock ciggy helped but I used far less than they sugested ...just to take the edge off when stressed. I wish him luck and good health.
ReplyDeleteOMG! Sorry to hear about your husband having a heart attack but the stents now days are as good as the open heart surgeries of yesteryears! I think I would have smacked his naked bottom for that comment about the funeral though!!! Happy #104-2nd Anniversary of WOYWW Thanks for sharing. Vickie #55
ReplyDeleteAlmost lost for words...wishing you strength, comfort and improved good health - both of you. Thankfully hubby is still here - embrace each moment. Thinking of you - hope you might find time to craft to help your thoughts settle.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW...Thanks for sharing and have a great week,

Happy WOYWW 2nd anniversary xxx
Gracious me - am shocked and touched that you've made time to blog for WOYWW. YOu are stronger than you think Tertia, dealing with it, helping him without smothering him and looking forward. No wonder you feel the need for a weep. I rejoice that you have more time together, and may the smoke free zone get easier as each day passes!
ReplyDeleteOH my Goodness!!!
ReplyDeleteTake some time for you and your dear husband.
Good for him for letting the fire sticks go right away.
Hugs for you both
I wish you both the best. Family medical issues and hospitals give so much stress. Take time for yourself to regroup. Hope things keep progressing for the better.
ReplyDeleteYou have had a tough week and deserve a good cry to release all that stress. Take Care! Your desk looks pretty darned organized to me!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your husband, and I am glad that he is so much better now. This must have been scary and stressful for you both. All my best wishes go out to you.
ReplyDeleteHe is one lucky guy to have been given a second chance in life. You both need to make the best of it. As it says on your wall, Keep calm and carry on! :) Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteHey there, glad your story has a happy ending. Happy 104!
ReplyDeleteDear Tertia, Said a prayer for your husband. God is surrounding you both with His faithful love! Patsy from

Hi there Tertia, well you have had one exciting week and the kind of excitement you can do without that is for sure!!! praise God he is on the mend now - what a blessing to live now and not a hundred years ago with all the modern medicine I would be dead now if I lived back then and it makes one more appreciative doesn't it?? thanks for popping over and lovely words. So sorry blogger has been such a pain so many have had fun with it it the very worst sense!! Happy 2nd Anniversary and all God's blessings for healthy times ahead for all! love Shaz in Oz.x
ReplyDeletehiya not sure if you got my emails, but I posted the PIF prize package out to you on Friday. No idea how long it will take to get to you, but maybe start to watch out for it in about a week.xxx
ReplyDeleteHi there! Sorry to hear about your OH! I hope he is still on the road to recovery.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely bright craft room!
I came to see you now because I just saw your comment on someone else's blog about making comments. I too was having the same problem until I saw the solution. When you log in untick the "keep me signed in" box. Don't know why but it works!!
Keep your chin up!!
Hope hubby is feeling better and is on the bend, what a shock, and here you are blogging and sharing your craftiness with us.
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy birthday WOYWW and sorry I'm sooo late

ReplyDeleteOh Tertia! How awful! But you still have your DH and you have life ahead - well done him for quitting smoking. I quit and went cold turkey 16 months ago, and haven't looked back.
