Something’s not right

Riding a wave

Riding a wave

Hi all,

@CherryBomb, @Former-Member or any other @Former-Member floating around Forum Land, will you ride a wave with me? I thought I would be fine doing something...but it turns out that the something has made my big feelings BIG and now I'm in a pickle...and there's nothing worse than a pickled turtle! I'm going to go and snuggle in my bed so I probably won't actually respond to you, but it will still super help me to know that I am not utterly alone on the wave. I don't want to tag anyone else because I don't want anyone to feel they need to respond. Thank you in advance for riding with me.

Re: Riding a wave

Good morning @Phoenix_Rising. I hope the giant pile of softness was comfy last night.

We were going to head out on our fun Saturday adventure thing today and I was looking forward to spending time with the LF and the pocket crew, but that plan has changed. Instead of that, we'll be spending the day at home. If we can get everything done that we need, we might go out for a while this afternoon and do something nice with the LF to break up the day. If that doesn't happen, that's ok because tricky weekends are part of life and learning that lesson is not the worst thing for them. There will be tomorrow to do that too.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know what we are up to and say hi here. I hope your shell and my pocket and the cave feel ok enough today.

Here even when I am not, and when you are not too.

Hi @Phoenix_Rising Dropping off some presents to add to your Comfy Cave...

A new blankie for you...

A sign you can show to anyone who 'does not' speak turtle...

Something to help distract you...

This one is more for me 'cos it is super cute - and this little flutterby is not the best of swimmers (as I have said soooooo many times lol) so this is perfect for me to be in the water whilst not really being in the water....

Hey @Phoenix_Rising and @CheerBear - opened my book today - well dropped it while picking it up to open it - then left it on the floor and put Little Phoenix next to it. I am hoping that somehow/miraculously/telepathicly the words will be transported into my brain from LP.

My intention was to try and start reading (and actually touched the book this time) so I am going to count that as a win (small things hey!)

Hi @Phoenix_Rising

It's been a bit of a long day here. Lucky we don't live on Venus hey? I thought I'd show you what we've been up to today, seeing as we've spent the day together but not (again).
Today it was really sunny which was perfect because we spent most of the day outside. You and the pocket crew were in my handbag/pocket all day (except for the sneaky photos below).
Puffer fish + 2 was a recipe for disaster today so right from early on they were a "buddy" (a shadow of mine away from the others for almost all day). We assembled the mower together, with puffer fish "helping" (and me doing giant breathing). It's so pretty and so shiny! And it works (kind of important). We had to go to Bunnings to pick up something annoying that I am sure we have heaps of but just couldn't find. The LF picked a couple of little pots of pretties and then played "who can find exactly the right sized box". As you can see, no-one won that game 😉
We then spent heaps of time clearing out the vege garden. We found some tiny carrots hiding away that we planted ages ago (do you remember doing that?) that looked so cute together hugging each other. We also found some cornflowers I planted that were standing quietly at the back.
While we were in the garden, puffer fish rode around the yard and then splashed under the sprinkler. Clown fish joined and they played "don't let the lava rain touch you" which I think the whole neighbourhood heard. It was so good to see and hear. Big eventually also joined in too, and despite their best effort not to, actually had fun.
Because you got to know puffer fish so well today, you spent a quiet moment together. I think you really liked each other and I liked seeing you together 🙂
I hope you're doing ok enough tonight Phoenix_Rising.

Hey @Zoe7 - meant to say earlier that I love your win today! Did you catch that the plan is to kick off the doing bit next week? I think that it might be fun (not sure fun is the right word). If the words didn't quite make their way from LP (almost wrote LF) to your brain, you won't need to worry about them to do the doing bit if you'd like/can etc 🙂

Re: Riding a wave

@CheerBear I am SUPER glad we don't live on Venus. Today has been HARD...but better for being with you and Puffer fish. I can't wait to see the picture.

I went and collected (P)'s ashes this morning. The small family-run pet cemetary & crematorium I go to is AMAZING. They are SO good. I told the guy that I definitely was not expecting to see him again only 11 months since I was last there. I sure as heck don't want to see him again for a looooooong time now.

@CheerBear and @Zoe7 can I whisper something here? Things went terribly horribly wrong with a BM when I "reached out" via phone both on Thursday night and Friday night. I'm pretty sure RP had to make an emergency dash back from Mexico to deal with the fallout. I'm not sure who was more distressed, me or the BM. My understanding is that RP is going to be giving some intensive lessons in how to speak turtle. I super super hope so. Do you understand?
