Morning Check-In

@avant-garde i hear you sweet. Sending you hugs ❤️

@MissGremlin

I've gone round the entire open space left on the jigsaw to find and place the odd shaped pieces.

Now back to ordinary shaped pieces to fill in the small sections created by the odd

@avant-garde haha oh I do that too when I do puzzles.

@MissGremlin

You know I love my jigsaws

But this one is a pain!

So many cherry blossoms

Why are they pink!

Rarely am I frustrated

But this jigsaw is large

One thousand pieces

I must have been nuts

I actually have another

That I've started too

I hope that it's easier

The colour have improved

I usually have fun sorting

The corners and the edge

Then construct the border

I then have parameters

Next I sort the middle

Not by colours or by shades

Rather the type of piece

If you know what I mean

Then I further sort the pieces

Into their five groups

How many points out

And how many points in

To start to see the picture

This one is in Japan

With the pink cherry blossoms

No I'm not a fan

I am eighty percent through

Means I've done eight hundred pieces

Under two hundred left

Yes all cherry blossoms

But it is for a friend

To have it done by Monday

I like the castle in it

Himeji it is called

I really hope she likes it

And the work that's gone in

Hours, many hours

It'll be worth it in the end

@avant-garde i love that poem, i sort out my pieces the same way. I can hear the frustration with those cherry blossoms but it will be worth it in the end, I'm sure your friend will love it ☺️

Love being ignored @avant-garde no worries

@MissGremlin

@tyme made a good point... I'm meeting up with Charming today and I want to challenge him in how he treats me... but how can I challenge him when I ask why he and so many others treat me like I don't know what I'm doing... that they're forcing their opinion on how I should live without taking into account how I actually want to live.

@avant-garde yes tyme makes a good point. I'm not sure why he and others treat you like you don't know what you're doing when from what I see you are more than capable of knowing what you want/need and how you want things to be with your life.

I'm sorry i was so delayed in replying I fell asleep on my lounge, the heat here has taken everything out of me.

I hope meeting with him goes ok, I'd love to hear how it does go if you are up for sharing after.

@MissGremlin

Charming was actually his normal self, he didn't realise just how hard I had worked to reduce the amount of stuff I had.

That and I wasn't triggered just by being at church and him being a deacon.

He also didn't realise just how far away my storage unit is and was overreaching in his timing, it's a 20 minute drive for him and a 40 minute drive for me

@avant-garde you've definitely worked hard to reduce the amount of stuff you have and I know it can be hard for others to see that.

That's tough with it being so far away especially for you.

How are you feeling now sweetheart?
