Riding a wave

Thank you for dropping by the ocean today @Sans911 and @Maggie. I love that picture, Maggie!!!!! I will post my playlist of stories in Forum Land sometime over the next few days for you @Maggie.

@CheerBear I'm sorry to hear that today was a tough day in your world. I'm super glad you were able to practice opposite action and make it to FF. I will wander over there --> now to see if you have shared about your tricky day.

Most of my day was good, but it went awry this evening and I have been practicing opposite action too. I am to have my first contact with TTT on Monday. I am looking forward to this. However, the issue is that they are insisting that this initial phone call happens from my GP's office. Both my GP and my turtle whisperer have explained that the safest place for me is at home, but TTT (and I think more importantly her supervisor) is saying I have to be with the GP "to help keep me safe." Even just typing that phrase makes my stomach turn. I am the expert on my life and I know that the safest place for me is at home. I feel super angry and disempowered that an "expert" who hasn't even spoken to me thinks she knows what's best for me, better than I do. Big grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Still, I am trying to tell myself that they also think they know better than my GP and my turtle whisperer, so it isn't just me that they are putting down here.

Only THREE more sleeps until NikNik gets home!!!!!!!! Less than 60 hours now if she arrives at 8am. Sixty hours, we can do sixty more hours can't we @CheerBear.

Hey @Former-Member, when NikNik appears, am I allowed to jump off my pause button, swim into the beach, wrap my flippers around NikNik's leg and never ever let her go? That's my plan. I hope she made lots of nice memories on her holiday because clearly they are going to have to last her the rest of her life since she will never ever be allowed to leave Forum Land ever again.

Are you watching over the ocean tonight @Former-Member? Can you maybe give @Former-Member a lesson in ocean watching because she didn't appear last week.

Night Forum Land. Just three more sleeps and then NikNik will be home.

Good morning @CheerBear,

I look forward to hearing about your stuckness if and when you choose to share.

Thank you for validating the icky feelings around the "keep you safe" thing. It feels super super super yuck because I've had so very many bad experiences due to people wanting to keep me "safe." Being told "to help keep you safe" makes me feel super super super unsafe!!! I'm super glad that you get that.

I still super want to do the rest of the mindfulness module. Have you made any progress on the next one? I really thought we were finding our rythem the other week...and then the tsunami hit. Oh well, we are getting lots of practice at waiting!!!!

Just over 48 hours now CheerBear!!!!!! How super awesome is it going to be when NikNik appears!!!!

Well this was just a quick flyby. As always, I will be here even when I'm not - as I know you will be too.

@CheerBear and @Former-Member less than 36 hours now!!!!! Two more sleeps!!!! Just two more sleeps on my pause button. I super super super super can't wait for NikNik to come home to Forum Land.

I have had a calm day (I super like calm days). I hope you have had some good in your day too.

@CheerBear I would super like to see a little fish in a jar.

In about 3 hours time you will be able to say that tomorrow is the day NikNik is back @Phoenix_Rising 🙂

One LF in a jar 😉

Calm days are fab! Happy to hear today was one for you 🙂

@CheerBear I am eagerly awaiting the picture!

And yes, in less than three hours it will be NikNik-coming-home eve. Did you figure that out all by yourself CheerBear or did puffer fish have to help?

BTW, have you listened to "Giraffes can't dance." If I could, I would buy that book for puffer fish for Christmas. Sometimes when you are different you just need a different song. I SUPER love that line!
