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.

Ah huh! Here we go.......

I found some. Look at all that amazing colour 🙂 Muliple floaties for multiple members, take your pick 🙂

Given it's Friday I'm liking the look of the pizza one. How about you @Phoenix_Rising @Faith-and-Hope @Catcakes @CheerBear @Former-Member? 🙂

*sits bobbing up and down on the dinosaur floatie that I pinched before the photo could be taken*
I think I might chill here for a little while if that's okay @Phoenix_Rising, until the Feast that is.
The waves seem to have settled down now?
What are your plans for the rest of the afternoon @Phoenix_Rising, @Faith-and-Hope and @Catcakes?

Re: Riding a wave

I saw that you are seeing a pdoc for your son??? Why did he ask to see you, if you don't mind me asking?

Re: Riding a wave

How have I not realised that it's a pizza floatie until now?! I had triple look to see what you were talking about @Former-Member!

That unicorn for me thanks (what a surprise)! It's so hot today, floating around the water on a unicorn sounds like a great way to spend the afternoon ☺

Wishing you the best for this afternoon @Faith-and-Hope.

Hoping the giant wave stays settled down for a while @Phoenix_Rising.

Waving to all ☺

@Former-Member Super super big thank you for finding the key to the cupboard! Make sure you put it back on that hook just to the left of you, you know, the one that has "key to the cupboard" written above it.

I got super super super smashed by another email and sank back into utter crisis.

@Former-Member It is nice to see you out on the ocean today. Right now it is looking extremely improbable that I will make it to FF tonight. This storm is SO BIG and based on the last email I got, I can't see it abating any time soon. Don't worry, it took me a while to figure out how to spell Phoenix too. Let me guess, you can never remember which way the o and the e go? You are definitely not alone in that!

You know what's really uncool? When you get really really really badly hurt by an organisation and then they try and tell you how much they went above and beyond for you. I cannot begin to tell you how unhelpful that is. I never asked for any of this!!!!!!!

On a brighter note, @CheerBear I am definitely keen on our public transport adventure. Waiting a few weeks until the LF are back at school works for me. That gives us lots of time to advertise this adventure in Forum Land and nag encourage lots of Forumites to join us.

Re: Riding a wave

@Former-Member you forgot to tag @Faith-and-Hope.

@CheerBear you've probably never noticed the pizza because you always go straight for the unicorn.

I feel horrendous. Seriously, it is really hard sometimes to remember that the organisation involved is fundamentally decent and just has some unbelievably super sized melted snowflakey banana headed moments. I know this is the case, but boy oh boy, the melted snowflakey banana headed moments really couldn't be any bigger (or more poorly timed!!!!!!) if they tried!!!!!

Re: Riding a wave

@Former-Member can I jump on the pizza floatie with you. I normally don't use one because, well, I'm a sea turtle. However, I feel utterly exhausted and utterly broken right now so I can hitch a ride with you? I think I need to lie super still and sleep. This day has been the most challenging in terms of trying to stay alive, that I have had in quite a while. Today is really really really hard!!!!!!

Re: Riding a wave

Ugh continual smashings are so hard @Phoenix_Rising 😞 The people who ran the place of (apparent) safety said a similar thing to the "above and beyond" call. I don't have any idea how a comment like that could ever be helpful for anyone except the person saying it :S

I'm really looking forward to the public transport adventure too. And you're probably right about the pizza floatie not being noticed by me because of the unicorn.

Sorry today is really really hard. It's understandable it is, though that doesn't make it better.
