My Mosaic

Thanks @rav3n …. I don’t call very often, I was desperate.

yeah I ended up having a casual SW for my pdoc appointment. I hardly knew her so it was hard. But I also requested someone from comm mh in place of my CM who was away just in case the SW couldn’t make it and it ended up being my old CM. So that was kinda handy. But yeah, it wasn’t an overly helpful appointment.

no I haven’t done a nook before, think I’ve seen them though. This new book sculpture is a black and white one.

i hope you know its okay to give them a call/reach out at any point, even before the 'desperate' point @Bow i know sometimes i tell myself that i'm not at my limit yet so i should be fine... but then i hit my limit and find it harder to articulate what's wrong. you're ALWAYS deserving of support.

sorry to hear the appointment didn't go too well, but i am glad you weren't alone. oh your old CM being the backup is such a nice surprise!! hoping the next visit feels more helpful.

ohh yep, i used to get videos of nooks - can't find the exact one that i saw but here's a similar one:

some places sell DIY ones, seems like something i could see you making. ooo black and white one sounds interesting, look forward to seeing how it turns out! how long did your last book sculpture take to make?

Yeah I keep telling myself that too @rav3n @there are a lot of barriers to making calls. The first big obvious one is… nah I’m ok. I don’t need to call…. Yet. I’m also terrified of who I’ll get. Most males are not ok. Some can be extremely triggering for me. There is one male at comm mh that I will talk to. He knows me, he knows my history, he seems to know the exact questions to ask and his got this real gentle approach. Others just don’t seem to care much. It’s a huge issue for me to have to rehash my whole story. I just can’t do it. And I’ve just had so many bad experiences reaching out that it’s easier to just not.

yea that’s a book nook. I’ve seen some real cute kits online. Heaps of cool stuff online. I did a non Alice, non Lego build during the week. It’s heaps cute!

Got all my pictures printed out ready to work on it tomorrow. We just finished packing the car- left it until late cause it’s so hot here. We were outside looking for all the planets that your suppose to be able to see tonight.
my last book sculpture took a few weeks. Lots of cutting out. Gluing things. I’m thinking I could maybe do like a Winnie the Pooh one. Maybe a Peter rabbit one?

I went to groups today- they did an op shop crawl. I don’t usually do Friday groups, but I was keen for the op shops. It was kinda nice going with others. But I always headed straight to the books!

Hey @Bow ,

What's happening? Sounds rough. Did you go to group today?

Doesn’t matter @tyme

😩

Awww @Bow , if you don't feel you are able to say it, that's okay. Can I just sit with you even if we don't talk?

@Bow i hear you about the barriers, it does take a lot of courage to make those calls hoping the right person picks up the phone. i can imagine how difficult it is to tell your history to new people, but i'm glad you have that one person who gets you.

ooo that sounds pretty cool! definitely some interesting stuff online, sometimes i just love browsing through and taking screenshots of ones i'd want to buy later (but i end up forgetting about the screenshot).

both ideas sounds so good, Winnie the Pooh's my fav one!! op shop crawl sounds exciting, and also really great to see you put yourself out there with that!! i can't blame ya, books are one of my fav sections to run to first too. any new alice books to add to your collection?

Hi dear @Bow

After such a busy day yesterday, I hope today is a little more slow paced for you.

Sending some love 💕💕

Hey @Snowie

i had to freshen up the kittens playpen and I gave my room a quick vacuum and then parked myself on my bed in front of the tv. Been doing some Lego.

how’s your day going?

Day is ok @Bow

Took S to work this morning.

Been in bed too today. Lego sounds like a good idea.
