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

Plans, like options, are something I think are awesome @Phoenix_Rising and I'm really glad to hear you have a plan 🙂

You're very welcome and thank you for reading along with me and being a totally inspiring and amazing DBT study buddy and role model (and keeping me company while I mowed). My book voices are way better than the youtube narrators ones aren't they? 😉

Big yay for still having an intact success rate of 100%. It was scary and shaky for a bit, but you did it!

Re: Riding a wave

@Phoenix_Rising I am sorry I have been absent today since this morning - the day has not gone as I planned - but I can see how much wonderful support you have had by CB and F&H. Now that I have set up my camp on the beach that means that I am here even when I am not - so if you can't 'see' me I am most likely snuggled into the corner of my tent, with Toby, hiding from the world.

I am so pleased to see that you were able to speak to someone and you have a plan. I hope that cat 5 storm is now well out to sea and will not return.

i know this has been super, super hard for you little turtle but, as CB has said, you still have a 100% success rate of staying alive - and that is something to celebrate...

Re: Riding a wave

I'm not ok right now...but I will be. This was a massive massive massive storm and it isn't going to properly resolve for quite a while yet. But for the moment it is just about surviving. Mopping up the mess will come later.

I'm so sleepy but didn't want to fall asleep without one final post here today @Phoenix_Rising.

Goodnight Phoenix_Rising. I hope you sleep better tonight.
