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

Hi @Bow

Firstly I am in awe of what you have gone through today. To get to your group in the first place this morning and then to work on your inner critic, I say that that takes a lot of strength and courage. No doubt it was confronting hon, the whole process would have been. I hope that they supported you whilst you went through it all.

Then the hardest part was yet to come. I'm so glad you were able to hold him in your arms in his final moments, that he drifted off with you right there with him.

No doubt there would be so many emotions running through you right now. Please know we are here for you hon, that you are not alone. You have been in my thoughts all day and continue into the night.

Such a difficult time for you. I hope your D is ok.

RIP Jaffa 💗💗

Such a lovely photo

Re: My Mosaic

Thanks @Snowie @rav3n

i got in my pjs as soon as we got home. We picked up a woolies chicken and some nice ice cream on the way home too, so an easy dinner. Just on the couch watching tv now. I’ll probably go to bed early. I’m tired. We will bury him in the backyard tomorrow.

im sad. He was a beautiful cat. So much energy. Loved a feather on a piece of string and was so darn quick to escape outside.

Re: My Mosaic

PJ's, an easy dinner and some ice cream sounds good @Bow

So does an early night.

No doubt you are sad hon. In coming days I'm sure there will be many more emotions.

He sounds like he was such a big part of your family, and still will be. There must be lots of wonderful memories with him. They certainly do become a huge part of our families.

What did you get up to today @Snowie

@Jynx not around tonight?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

I cleaned the kitchen, washed/ironed and did some cooking @Bow It actually was satisfying when I was finished. Felt like I at least accomplished something.

There weren't many meals left in the freezer so I restocked some of it.

Have you got something nice planned for yourself for tomorrow? I know how hard the day will be with laying Jaffa to rest.

Re: My Mosaic

easy dinner is the way to go tonight! hope you get some good rest and sleep too.

aw sounds like Jaffa was a lil cheeky too, what a beautiful boy. he's very lucky to have had you give him so much love 💗

also @Jynx has headed off already, just me tonight 😊

Re: My Mosaic

Sounds like you achieved lots today @Snowie what kind of meals did you cook?

tomorrow I have a dietitian appointment in the morning. Need to go get groceries after that and then not much else. Probably some more painting.

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

I cooked some fried rice, steak and some pad thai @Bow

Over the next few days I will cook some more things too. I like cooking, it helps me calm down, relaxes me and a good distraction.

After such a full on day today it might be nice for tomorrow to be a bit easier for you. No doubt you deserve a quieter day. What sort of painting do you think you will do?

Re: My Mosaic

He was heaps cheeky @rav3n was just looking at some photos of him, they are nearly all of him laying on my bed in the sun, sprawled out on his back. My bed gets amazing morning sunshine and he loved it. Always made himself comfy right before I come in to make my bed! He loved a belly rub…. Until he had had enough and then he would latch on with all 4 paws and bite!

you get your clothes away @rav3n ? (Read somewhere else that was your task tonight? I have a chair in my room, throw all my clothes I have warn but perhaps aren’t dirty enough to wash- I wear jeans out and then change into trackies and oversized tshirts for home. But come the end of the week and they nearly always end up in the wash anyways. I have waaaaayyyyy too many clothes. Need to have a clean out
