Riding a wave

Thank you for being you, @Phoenix_Rising. I'm super glad to have such an awesome acquaintance. 🐢

I see potential in the squiggles @Phoenix_Rising .....

The top one made me think of wjndows too @Former-Member, with its little squares .... but then maybe it’s a town of litttle square houses with triangle roofs .....

And the bottom one .... the C shape could be the start of a platypus’ bill, and the pouty squiggles it’s claws .... like @Catcakes said .....

Feeling for you too @Former-Member ....

Hi @Phoenix_Rising 🙂

Hurray for the golden ticket in the Wonka Bar! That's mind blowing stuff for Charlie and his Grandpa Joe 🙂

Hi @Former-Member it is super nice to see you out on the ocean this evening.

We aren't up to Charlie finding a golden ticket yet. Yesterday TTT read the bit about the first two tickets being found and now it is the night before Charlie's birthday. It will be a while yet before we get up to where Charlie finds his ticket.

By the way, I listened to Tabby McTat. When you read it to your kids, do you sing the singing bits?

I listened to Room on the Broom last night, but I fell asleep during it so I don't know the end yet.

@Phoenix_Rising of course, I went straight to the good bit 🙂

I surely do sing those singing parts not sure the kids appreciat emy amazing singing voice but I do it anyway!

Sounds like Room on the Broom could be happening again tonight

Giggle. I figured you'd sing the singing bits @Former-Member.

Yep, I will listen to Room on the Broom again and report in when I find out the ending.

I am super glad you are here on the ocean. It's HARD not being allowed to call the HC. I'm super glad you are here.

Hi there @Phoenix_Rising @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @ Ocean people Just popped by to say hi to you all here.

Been a most distressing day, lost the ability to talk for a few hours with the surprise thing that happened, but back able to talk again now, mostly. It's a long, long time since that has happened to me, not sure what the trigger was for it to be soooo very bad today.

Words for anything were not good when I woke this morning, I hope it's not a relapse of the illness (viral infection - shouldn't be) and it went from thinking words to talking words in a heartbeat. Still not good though so won't be doing much visiting tonight.

Stay well, swim strongly, and breathe .....

Hi @Former-Member,

I'm sorry to hear that it has been such a horribly distressing day in your world today.

I can very much relate to the ickyness of losing your words. Were you with other people at the time or home alone?

I super hope tomorrow is a brighter day for you.

Thank you @Phoenix_Rising for your kindness and understanding.

At home, in my safe place = doubly, tripley, hundredly bazingaly awful.

Thanks, I'll get over it, work out what happened eventually, or not. sigh !@$%#^$#@!&&^^ vent over - for now.

I think I'm going to head out of Forum Land early tonight. I am very much feeling the strain right now of not being able to call the HC. My Monday appointment with TTT seems a horribly long way away. It's so so SO hard. All my attempts to build a network of support have failed. I've ended up losing supports as fast as I find them such that now it's just me and TTT - just like it was just me and Fred for all those years. Of course, TTT is actually a safe therapist so in that way it's totally different...but it is still kind-of the same in the sense that I am fully reliant on this one person for support rather than having a network who can share the load. I've tried SO HARD to build a network. I started trying this all the way back in 2010, when I first realised something was very awry in my relationship with Fred. I have had so many people in my world since then...but they have all walked in and then walked out again. I won't be trying again. First the wrongness of the wrong, and then being banned from calling the HC. Yep, I think it's safe to assume that this little turtle is well and truly done with seeking out additional sources of support. TTT and I are just going to have to deal with my muddle by ourselves. In my session on Tuesday when I was super chaotic, I was telling TTT that I didn't want to ever do this again, and I can hear her now in my head saying in her super nice calm voice "it's ok, you don't have to." No one will ever hurt me again. I just need to survive the current overwhelming hurt and grief and loss!

@CheerBear do you want to listen to Room on the Broom tonight? I was telling @Former-Member that I started listening to it last night, but fell asleep - yay for falling asleep listening to stories!

Night Forum Land.
