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

Yep - drive home when you are calm @Phoenix_Rising and snuggle safely until then.

I am snuggling down for the night now too.

Re: Riding a wave

I really hope you found your bed and blanket cosy last night @Phoenix_Rising.

I am going rainbow hunting this weekend but before I head off I wanted to drop you off these.

They're some of the ones I could find that haven't made their way into the car/under pillows/hiding in blankets etc. and they're some of what has been read what feels like 50 thousand times now.

The top one is called Teacup in a Storm. It is about a toy teacup who is in a bath. The teacup meets a rubber duck and they ride out the waves together. It's a little book but a lovely one. I couldn't find it online so I'll share some of the best bits here for you

Here but not and thinking of you
