A job I love doing, that I can't currently risk doing (as I get a bit too enthusiastic while doing it!!) And Mr getting a bad and unecessary cut would really upset my family.

So glad for my wife and Boys. They truly are awesome.

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Check with The Instructions, S4, E22

After a small mishap, when a pair of woollen gloves tried to take on the heat of a tumble dryer, and lost, Andy B started thinking about a much older memory of a very expensive cardigan that suffered the same, inevitable, outcome.

And, much like what happened to those woollen gloves, mistakes happen.

But, with God, the Good News is that we can’t mistake ourselves away from God. Because the very nature of Gods to redeem our mistakes.

Those woollen gloves no longer fit an adult sized hand. But that mistake isn’t a complete failure, as they still fit smaller children.

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Do What You Can When You Can, S4, E24

https://youtu.be/-P3ZtdgjGow

As a Stay-At-Home-Dad for more than 15 years I’ve thoroughly loved everything with caring for my family and our home.

But since catching Covid a little over a month ago, discovering an issue with my heart, getting through a lung infection and adjusting to a whole host of medication to keep me healthy until the heart issue can be resolved, it has taken a lot out of me.

The most challenging part is being on blood thinners. Because there is so much I can’t do, or need to seriously question whether I should do that, or not...

Be grateful, even for the small things you can accomplish

Today I'm making our bed.

Last time I tried to tidy it up, I had my first cut to deal with while on blood thinners - from a bolt that holds the frame together.

But I'm learning to get on with what I can do, when I can do it, and be peaceful when - like this morning - I felt a little in need of a bit more rest.

But this afternoon that extra resting (not my favourite activity.....at all....like ever!!!!!!) has paid off as I'm able to, slowly but surely, put fresh bedding on our bed.

For me that is an achievement, and one that I'm feeling very blessed to be able to do today.

I've even organised the table dryer loaded, loaded the washing machine myself.

Small things, but important. And each one I feel blessed to be able to do, as I start to get back with the idea of living.

So, put really simply count your blessings!!

Bit slower and more sluggish this morning.

But God is still good, and the good moments are increasing, while moments like now are fading!

How's my DingDash family doing today?

Andy B

MOT day today (annual check on the car to see if it is good, mechanically)...and my very brief stay in hospital has certainly changed something. Cos when Jo wakes up and gets out of bed, I can no longer sleep, cos i miss her too much.

Anyway, morning DingDashers

Here's to life, and breathing, and peaceful hearts

Something to lighten the day

So I feel like an old man...but an old man with some colour :-) 🤣

At least I can get a little more independence, as the silver foil blister packs my pills come in, are a reliable source of me cutting myself...on blood thinners, that would be really rather unpleasant as it often takes me a good 10 minutes to stop the bleeding when my bleed is not being chemically thinned!!! Once my family load this bad boy up, I'll be able to safely take them myself!

Meanwhile the scary photo is me not shaving at the end of week 1

Hopefully, we'll get hair cuts this evening (once Jo finishes for the day) which may help with my appearance.....

...I said maybe!!

There's always hope 😂
