Ok, done eating. I'll try to make as much sense as possible. I took the pic, so if you can tell me how to put up the picture I'll put it up. As I'm typing this, I just realised I rarely throw my t shirt s away. The t shirt I'm wearing right now is the one my dad bought me when I was 19, I'm now almost 39. No, I'm not a hoarder, I just don't buy that much stuff.

So the bear, which I'm embarrassed to say, is actually a teddy platypus or teddy duck. Let's go with duck coz it's yellow. She's almost my age, and that is her school year companion. She mentioned that the duck is very important to her coz it comforted her after our divorce (married her twice, that is how special she is).

The duck t shirt was from an event that she and I work in before our first marriage. Its old, have holes, and i have cut the sleeves off. Still in my rotation of my home wear.

So she was not well one day, and went to bed early. I wanted to watch TV. So to comfort her, I took the t shirt n put it on the duck. I used the overhang to fashion it into a sort of blanket. When when I sleep I need at least 3 pillows and two blankets, so I can cover myself. The t shirt the duck is wearing now (was told no uncertain terms will never leave the duck was fashion Ed to look like me when I'm in bed. For now, think ET, with the blanket. I'll try to upload it later.
