Something’s not right

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

I like mosaic art, I’ve never actually done any, but it intrigued me. Made up of hundreds of tiny pieces of stone, glass and ceramic. If you look at it close up it doesn’t really look like anything special, if anything it looks like a mess. But if you take a step back and view the whole picture- it’s a master piece. I guess it’s kind of like life. So many tiny parts, some messy if we look just at the one part. Some day i guess I’d hope that the mess of my life will at some point look half decent.

So here is part of my mosaic, bits and pieces kept tidy together 🙂

tagging you @Emelia8 cause you asked 🙂

Re: My Mosaic

@Captain24 Mum is away for another 2 weeks. Doing the bare minimum to keep myself out of hospital to be honest.

I was hoping daughter would want to go do something today but she just wants to stay home. So we have made a list of things we can do together. Tomorrow we will go do the groceries so at least we are getting out then.
This morning we had a bit of a sleep in. I’ve done 2 loads of washing. Been on the treadmill. I’ve packed away washing that was already on the line. And packed away all of D’s crash night gear. Had to squeeze all the air out of the mattress we borrowed. And I just finished building a Lego set- the architecture set of Singapore.! I’ve collected all the one that I have been to. It’s a cheap knock off one and some of the pieces were a bit part to push together, but all in all, it was fine. I need to keep feeding my Lego addiction but on the cheap!! 😂😂

I’ve found a heap of sets on alie express and put them in my cart.

I read about your work event earlier, good on you! Proud of you for what you did after such a difficult few days!

Afternoon @Bow

It's hard being home alone with no one to answer too.

I like time for myself but at the same time having someone around makes me safe.

I hope this afternoon is going ok

Around if you need to chat or just some company

Re: My Mosaic

Hey @Bow ,

Another two weeks sounds like a LONG time. Would you say that your mum is kind of a protective factor for you at home?

As @Snowie mentioned, I'm here if you need a chat.

Also, I've just read your post in the other thread. It makes so much sense that it'd be nice for more people to reach out to you. I totally hear that. I'm also grateful that you have been able to share about your schema-therapy, and I definitely look forward to being tagged each week when you've been able to share.

Thank you for being open and honest.

Re: My Mosaic

Yeah I guess so, something like that @tyme she doesn’t let me get away with much at home. Dinner kinda feels like a non negotiable.

Thanks @Snowie 💕

Re: My Mosaic

Makes sense @Bow .

I can't remember. Did she go with you on your overseas trip? Or was it just D?

Re: My Mosaic

Sorry @Bow. I had a sleep and didn’t log on. Unusually rely solely on emails.

2 weeks is ages. I think the goal of keeping yourself out of hospital is the important one right now.

Sounds like you have been busy

so far today. I hope you and D can do something fun tomorrow.

Lego is good for all moods! It is really expensive. I love how you are getting the skylines of the places you’ve been. I haven’t really been anywhere. I did go to the Madrid soccer stadium, they use to have that set. But the hour I spent at the stadium was an hour I’ll never get back. I knew I didn’t like soccer but watching an exhibition match of two premier league teams confirmed it.

Thanks, I was proud of me too. It makes

me realise that maybe I can recover but I can turn it on when I need too.

Re: My Mosaic

It was just D and I @tyme nearly 4 weeks. I worked hard in the lead up. We had plans in place for everything.

mums been interstate 3 times now, the first time we planned it with my supports. Now it’s just ‘you’ve done it before you can do it again’. 😩

Re: My Mosaic

Wow. That's tough @Bow . I hear how stressful it can be. It's like a lot of pressure is placed on you to be well...

I have to go now, but will catch up next time.

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

It is a lot of pressure…. And people assume that I will be fine.

gotta stay well and out of hospital for my daughter. But I’m doing the bare minimum. And I know to what point physically I can go
