Day after – chat time

K slept well, waking this morning she still felt tired and napped throughout the day.

She realised that she had bitten her tongue and now was talking with a slight lisp, this will heal.

She still does not remember the majority of what happened, but she did recognise changes as a result of her new medication (that she started last Monday). Last night when she was wanting to go home, she felt more relaxed and was able to handle the situation more calmly…taking it in her stride.

I’m tired tonight as I write, so forgive me for not answering everyone’s kind comments individually from the post last night.

I have read them all and I am so grateful for all of your support and caring, for not only K but for me also.

Thank you everyone – you are all appreciated.

Boom wham before you know it

In a blink of an eye..or perhaps a smidge longer. You start a blog, you get a reader, then another and then BOOM, you get notified that you have 1008 followers.

I THANK YOU

I APPRECIATE YOU

I AM TOTALLY ‘GOB SMACKED’ THAT YOU FIND WHAT I WRITE INTERESTING ENOUGH TO FOLLOW ME

I AM GLAD THAT I HAVE MET SO MANY WONDERFUL PEOPLE, YOU HAVE MADE ME LAUGH, MADE ME CRY, GIVEN ME HOPE

SO … THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING ME.

A whimsical look at the Stat Bar

oh my dear

stress stress and finger nail biting
what ever shall I do?

my stats have fallen…….

plummeted in fact

should I be sad and feeling blue?

one day the graph had peaked so high

the last few days

it’s hit the floor

what shall I do, what can I do

views and visitors

do I want more?

so I haven’t blogged a lot of late

I haven’t been………. prolific
BUT 247 to now 13

well it’s enough to make me vomit

get angry but don’t shy away

or have me say tut-tut

never mind if I have naught to say
come back  – you there  – come back?!

I plead to raise that big blue bar
you know you want to see me smile

or would you rather

hear me whinge …..roll my eyes and sigh?

has it really got this bad I ask?
or must I write 10 posts a day or more?

Is that what you require of me

to see those blue sticks soar?

So give me to the weekend

I promise I shall write

but for now I’ve been at work all day

and it’s time to say good night

Time to say thank you

Again overwhelmed
with the response
and the followers
to my small humble site.

Each one whose
encouraged me just to write
been so supportive and
helped me along, with all of you with me
I shall write and stay strong

I dribble and rave sometimes as we know
I get deep and meaningful
my heart I do show
but that’s Jen or Mumsy
as I’m otherwise known

I now have 200 that follow
I’m amazed that I do
and 10,000 visits oh can this
be true?
I’ve written 300
now 301 there’s plenty
more writing
in this little one

So thank you to the ladies
the gentlemen too
for reading my writing
liking and following
all the words that I spew
forth from my head onto
a page you’re really too kind
or otherwise brave!

Merry Christmas to you all…and to all a goodnight :-) xx

Best singing voices everyone – to be sung to Away in A Manger

Christmas in Australia

is just round the bend

I have prepped and stressed out

and now hope this will end

~~~~

We shall have our nibbilies

when they first walk in the door

then we’ll offer them a drink

one or two or maybe more

~~~

We shall sit at the table and crack

our bon-bons plastic toys and

paper hats silly jokes and

lot’s of noise

~~~

I’ll stress ’bout the turkey and also the pork

is it cooked through

is it done right

please test with your fork

~~~

I’ll consume too much alcohol

I know this to be true

and I’ll get all melancholy

just looking at you

~~~

the entree will come first

do not know what they’ll bring

I’m sure it’ll be delightful

and we’ll gladly tuck in

~~~

the potatoes will be crunchy

the pumpkin cooked just right

the mushy peas and salads

tasty morsels every bite

~~~

Then we have our pudding

lashings of custard if you please

then there’s trifle laced with alcohol

oh our belts will surely squeeze

~~~

The wine will flow freely

the laughs will get loud

there’ll be memories of

past years and how we imbibed

~~~

The presents will we open we

will goo and we will will gaa

we shall say oh you shouldn’t have

you really went too far

~~~

BUT secretly we are happy

for the presents that they gave

we’re delighted and thankful

and each one is our fave

~~~

The Carols will be playing

in the background soft and sweet

we shall eat drink and be merry

and later fall asleep

~~~

Yes this day is for families

and ones that you love

if I start to get teary

I will blame the egg-nog

~~~

The festivities will be finished

the kitchen is a mess

the dishes piled up high

but at least no more stress

~~~

Then Christmas day is over and

our tummies will be full and we

daren’t go and weigh ourselves

no that would be cruel

~~~

So enjoy your celebrations

whatever you may do have

and cry or laugh hysterically

for you’re entitled too

I wish a very MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of my Followers and readers.

Some of you have been with me since I began this journey, others who are new to my ramblings.

To all that have pressed LIKE, to all of you that have VISITED and SUPPORTED me on this wild ride of prolific writing (I don’t….do I?) when I first began in July. I had no idea when a friend of mine said  “You like writing so much why don’t you start your own blog site”.  I also had no idea that I would have an audience ..in fact any audience (I know it’s tiny compared to some, but more than I ever thought I would have). So to those that have made that possible  – I thank you.

For those that may check their Stats (hands up I know you do).

July 21 visits and 7 posts.

August 117 visits and 14 posts.

September 830 visits and 33 posts.

October 1,206 visits and 34 posts.

November 1,032 visits and 24 posts.

December 1,851 visits and 69 posts…. I did mention I was a prolific writer (went on a bit) did I not?

Good grief that means I have passed the 5000th visitor  –  Sings – “Celebrate Good Times…Come On”!

Seriously-

I have made friends on here, (sorry if that sounds cliche), but it is the truth….virtual though they are (for most of you).

I have read some amazing stories and equally some outstanding poetry.

I have giggled, cursed, empathised, rolled my eyes, blushed and shed a tear through laughter or sorrow. I have seen amazing photography,  I have witnessed people’s lives through their words and discovered truly talented and heart warming people.

So diverse the writers on here with so many stories yet told.

To those that I follow – I hope that I have been supportive and shown that I do care about what you write and grant me the sanity to continue 🙂

Tomorrow will be a hectic one… but when the family has left and the rooms are quiet, I shall be back on here helping RoS for C4C along with many others who have volunteered some time to help those that are alone and want to reach out to someone to hopefully bring them a little cheer… now that’s what Christmas is ALL ABOUT. 🙂

Take Care everyone, stay safe and may your Christmas Day be filled with wonderment, joy and mostly love.

Let’s see how long I will stay away for..knowing me..not long at all 🙂

Thank you

Ramblings
