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

Thanks @Jynx got some broken sleep. Woke at one point to my D standing beside my bed in the dark softly telling me that it’s storming! Frightened me!

I don’t know if it’s that @Jynx oh well maybe it could be. Who knows. Guess we will find out come next weekend when mum returns?

sorry struggling with the rest of your words tonight. My head hurts and I just can’t focus everything feels all mixed up and a fog.

I honestly don’t feel like they’d care. Comm mh that is. My SW will. She will listen and hear me. But the others. No.

I feel so broken

@Bow don't sweat it, I know I can get very wordsy haha so totally legit to look at a wall of text and just be like 'errr nope, no thanks, nuh uh, cannot, shant!' 😋

OMG creepy D ahaha.

When are you able to next touch base with your SW?

Sweeping all the bit of ya up into a hug!

Re: My Mosaic

Not tonight anyways @Jynx will try and remember to come back to it later when my brain is working a better.

Yep creepy D. I think some times she just needs a bit of a hug and some reassurance.

my SW was away today, but back tomorrow. Think she is busy most of the day though cause they got a harmony day event on. Maybe I can text or call though.

fffff so tired just chatted to mum and couldn’t stop yarning

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow no drama llamas! We can just talk about lighter stuff if you like. No overwhelm the Bow brain!!

Aww yeah I reckon so - having to do same with my nephew a bit, he gets so sad whenever I'm about to leave for Naarm again. I get it, too, poor boy has lost both his significant father figures and he's only just turned 8!

Definitely do both!! Text first then call. Even if you know she's busy all day - it's not up to you to manage her time after all!

Hope it was an ok chat otherwise? Your mum having a nice trip?

Re: My Mosaic

That’s rough for your nephew @Jynx boys really do need men in their lives. My little bro was heaps young when his dad died and there were many years where he had no real father figure. You could tell too.

D and I are actually heading out early in the morning. Giving her the day off school to go to a local book fair. She is excited. We both have our book lists ready.

Yeah she is having a good time. My bro has his oncologist appointment tomorrow and will find out if he can come up here for a visit. Fingers crossed 🤞

how was your day? Get some sun?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow Yeah for sure, and with my dad's illness, he's not really able to provide much of a dad figure to him either. Hopefully he can find some solid male role models, maybe at school!

Oooh it's been like.... no joke, about 20 years since I've been to a book fair! That sounds amazing! You'll have to share your haul!!

Haha yeah, since it's my last day up here, N, P and I all had a nerf gun fight!! It was actually so much fun, nothing quite like hanging out with kids to bring out the inner child 😋

Just had some curry for dinner and then probs gonna tuck in early - if I don't end up wandering over to the beach! I do feel more comfortable to walk around at night up here, country-town vibes and all! Like my mum apparently just leaves the garage door open and her car unlocked all the time but no one has ever taken a thing! 😳😅

Re: My Mosaic

I shall indeed show you my book haul! @Jynx

Funny thing… while eating dinner tonight D said we should have a nerf war! We got nerf guns probably the first time mum went away and we played heaps… but haven’t pulled them out for ages. Hmmmmm might have to find them and ambush her. I did see a cool idea once. Leaving them outside the door for them when they get home and you’re ready waiting inside.

oh the beach at night. I do love that. It’s so calm and extra peaceful

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow hooray!

Omg that is a funny coincidence!! And what a fab idea omg do it do it!! You could even set up a mini obstacle course or something!!

Yeah it's exactly that! Soft rolling waves, no one about, just me and the waves under the stars 😌

Do you get to any beaches much?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Oh the sound of waves crashing at night @Jynx yes yes

we have beaches 40mins away but nah, don’t get there much. I think it’s the effort and mess. But tomorrow. The book fair is near the beach. There is a beach down there that has heaps of sea glass that I have been wanting to go to for ages. So will probably try and find that beach.
D loves the beach. Should make more effort.

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow bugger, missed my notification from you!!

I am off but yes yes do go find some sea glass! I LOVE sea glass - OH AND YOU COULD CRAFT SO MANY PRETTY THINGS!! Fingers crossed you can get down there after the fair!!

aww I gotta run now... nighty night lovely one, catch you on the weekend 💜
