My Mosaic

Yeah trying to get her into bed so I can go to bed @Snowie and yes….. it’s like I want sleep relief from what I deal with in the day time, but then I get the nightmares at night.

It can be so hard to deal with @Bow

Sleep can give us so much relief but at the same time just the thought of nightmares can makes us so scared to go to sleep. Just laying in bed trying to fight it all.

How did D's braids go?

That’s the thing eh @Snowie laying in bed fighting the sleepiness. I’ve spent a lot of time recently doing that.
ive just crawled into bed. I have the ac on and my fan! It’s warm here. Will cool the room down and then turn the ac off.

D’s braids look great! She picked an ombré extension with green, blue, purple and pink. The lady that did it is so clever! I’ve never learnt to braid. And she had long nails! Was sitting there thinking…. I’d love to get mine done. Wonder if they like have natural colours too, I don’t really fancy bright colours.

do you have a busy week?

It's hard fighting the sleep @Bow especially when you know what can happen next.

I totally understand that.

I really hope that you can get some sleep tonight hon. That it's free from nightmares.

D's hair sounds great. How long are they meant to last?

The lady said about a week, which I was a bit surprised by @Snowie but I asked how best to look after them so we will see

think I’m going to try and sleep

bit of a busy day tomorrow. D is getting an award in the school assembly in the morning. Then need to pick all my meds up, return something to office works and then I have my last schema group

Ohh @Bow Say well done to D, you must be so proud of her. It says something about you too hon, bringing her up the way you are.

I hope you get everything done and your schema group goes ok.

Wishing you a really good sleep hon. Hoping things go smoothly for you tonight 💗💗

Hey @Bow @Snowie ,

How are you?

Hey @tyme

Today's been a crappy day but it is what it is. Am heading to bed in the hope that tomorrow's better.

I hope you have a good night tonight.

Sorry to hear it was a crappy day @Snowie

I also hope tomorrow is better for you.

I'll see you later this week. Thank you for being you.

Argh today has been busy and full on. Just curled up on my bed in front of the AC and fan having some down time.

This morning I went to my D’s end of year school assembly. I was told a couple of weeks ago that she was getting an award, but it was a surprise for her. I had assumed that it was one of the class awards, they have like class citizenship, most improved etc etc. But her class came and went and her name didn’t get called out. She must of been getting an extra special award! She was awarded a CAPA award- creative and practical arts! So proud of her!!

Then I went and picked up my meds for the trip. So thankful that the Webster pack lady was able to reduce my meds down from 2 packs a week to just the one. Won’t take up as much room.

Had to do a couple of other things and then I headed to my last schema group.

It was a pretty light session. They didn’t wanna do anything really heavy. But we got our photo back of our younger self. We did a few little exercises with that including saying out loud to our younger self ‘I got you’. I’ve struggled the whole 7mths to look at that photo of myself. It’s still a struggle, but it’s been getting easier. I sat there today and thought… I want to care for you. I want you to feel safe. I want you to feel heard. That you matter in this world.
We were then each given a card- it’s got a cat on the front with a pink feather scarf. Everyone else then wrote some healthy adult words in the card for us. That was really nice. Kinda like warm fuzzies.
Then we were all given a gift- a weighted sloth. It is so soft and squishy and its weightedness is really cool.
Im sad it’s over. But so thankful I had the opportunity to attend and participate.
@tyme @Jynx @Snowie

2 sleeps now! Tomorrow I’m getting my nails done. And grabbing a few last minute things from the shops.
