Good evening to everyone out here on the ocean. @Vanessa5 it is super nice to see you out here again. I gather you are into art??? I don't have an artistic bone in my body and I super admire people who are that way inclined. 
Hi @Zoe7 I am super excited that you are going to buy the DBT book. I definitely don't think we will get too far ahead of you - I know I for one am the slowest reader on Earth! I love that you reframed my sleeping issues as a positive for you.
I'm actually wondering if I have caught these issues from you in the first place - I've never really had sleep problems before. The pattern lately is that I can fall asleep fine, but then I'm up and ready to go around 2am. This morning I got up at 4am and had a few productive hours, which made it feel less bad that I crashed after seeing my turtle whisperer. However, I super want to get back into a good sleep pattern - even though I would super love to be your entertainment 24/7!
I am going to be super busy over the next couple of weeks as I try to get through my second marking adventure (the assignments arrived this evening), but after that I would love for you to teach me how you do all the amazing pictures.
@CheerBear Your post about my cousin Myrtle made me laugh such a lot. 
I CAN see where her face is...but to me it looks like I'm looking at her bum. I think perhaps it's because the "me" that I'm seeing might actually be a reflection of me??? To me it looks like I'm behind her. Can you perhaps re-post it (cos I'm too lazy to go back a few pages to look
).
I never knew you did most of your posting via your phone @CheerBear. I hate typing on my phone. I only use my phone if I'm hiding in my bed or if I'm out and about. Most of the time I post from my laptop, sitting at my desk.
Ok, well I'm going to snuggle in my underwater cave tonight, but I think I'll be ready to surface tomorrow. I really am so very grateful for my turtle whisperer (do you get the feeling that M has been re-christened the turtle whisperer!!!), I just wish I wasn't so terrified of losing her again.
