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

oh @Bow So so so so good to have you back!!

I've missed you so much hon.

It sounds like a very tiring 24 hours. Nothing like your own shower and bed!!

I won't bombard you with questions yet 😁 We will have plenty of time for that.

Re: My Mosaic

Welcome back @Bow!

Can't wait to hear about your trip once you've had a chance to settle in and rest!

Re: My Mosaic

hey @Ru-bee 👋

Missed you heaps too @Snowie so many times I really needed to come here and talk but couldn’t.

I had an amazing time and can’t wait to share some of it, but had some tough times too.

we left Paris Tuesday morning catching the Eurostar fast train back to london. Wasted a few hours in london before heading out to the airport to catch our first flight to Singapore (12hrs). Had about 2hr layover in Singapore and then boarded our second flight to Sydney but got stuck sitting on the plane for 2hrs while they found and removed 2 no show passengers bags. Apparently they were deep in the hill so they had to pull nearly everyone else’s out too. Then they realised there was an issue with the AC so we had to taxi to a maintenance area so they could fix it and then cause we had been sitting for so long they had to top the fuel up. Long time

to sit when your already so tired. Oh and I messed up the day that we got back! Forgot the day that we lose on the way back! Then a train and a taxi home. Phew!

we cleared passport control 4 times. Security/bag scans 4 times and Australian border security once. So stressful!

must stay awake!

Re: My Mosaic

Oh dear @Bow That is certainly a long time in getting home, especially with that long delay. You must be exhausted. How did D cope with it all? Is she asleep now?

You can talk as much as you want/need to now hon. We are only a tag away.

Re: My Mosaic

I’m so exhausted @Snowie i dont sleep well on planes, just can’t get comfy! And I was sick on our flight from london- Singapore, and just haven’t felt great for the rest of the time.
I was actually sick a fair bit while away- which was frustrating.

D copes ok with flying. She watches tv/movies and plays on the iPad. She’s been down to my room so many times asking ‘where is such and such’ so all the suitcases are opened on my bedroom floor and stuff pulled out. We bought 2 carry on suitcases while away too…. Too much shopping 😂

how have you been @Snowie @hon?

Re: My Mosaic

You must be exhausted. I can understand not wanting to sleep now and wait for tonight. No doubt it will probably take a few days to get back to the norm. It's hard to sleep on planes @Bow I struggle too. Kids seem to cope so much better than adults when flying!

Thats not good about being sick hon. I hope it hasn't followed you home.

Ahh the suitcases can stay there for awhile!! No rush. I can imagine you coming home with extra suitcases. You are meant to do lots of shopping when you go away!

I've been ok thanks. Hard with supports away but it is what it is. Just have to get on with it.

Re: My Mosaic

Glad you hear you are back @Bow . Must be exhausting! We'll catch up when you've had a rest 🙂

Re: My Mosaic

Welcome home @Bow I look forward to reading about your travels in the coming days.

I hope you are better soon and didn't bring the lurgy home with you.

Re: My Mosaic

Thanks @Eve7 @tyme hopefully with some rest and some time to get my body back into a proper routine and regular food my stomach and digestive system will become right.

@Snowie I have a suitcase of Disney merch and another suitcase of books! Oh and some Lego!

when are your supports back @Snowie ? I had a message from my SW this morning she will call me on Sunday

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Perhaps some home cooked meals might help too @Bow

It's nice eating out but gets a bit too much after awhile.

Ohh books and lego. They probably have lego sets over there that aren't even available here.

Disney merch sounds good. I'm sure D loved buying some!

My pdoc is back next week but psych isn't back until first week of Feb.

Thats good that you have heard from your SW hon. Hopefully you can see them soon. There must be a lot to tell them too.
