ahh so this won't be new for you! @avant-garde is it hard getting that shape? are some of the puzzle pieces curved or is just my eyes playing tricks?

@rav3n @Ru-bee it took 3 goes to get them uploaded
It's spherical but not a complete sphere so there's enough space to get a finger or 2 in to replace the battery
We're not talking about how my birthday is going yet because I'm not ready for the bad thoughts to hit like they're prone to

It's my grandmother's birthday today and I'm trying so hard to keep moving but every time I stop I grieve for her.
She was my best friend and I love her so much

i'm sorry to hear how hard it is right now @avant-garde would it be helpful to pause and maybe set aside some time to grieve her/express your emotions? i can see that she means so much to you, you deserve the time and space to express your feelings freely.
let us know how we can support you today as well 💗
