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

Well done on the shower @Bow I know how big a step that was for you.

Glad you feel better after it too. It's amazing how fresh we feel after a shower, yet struggle so much to have one.

I often have a shower in the afternoon. Find it too hard at night and too tired to do so.

Good work too on having something to eat hon. Maybe if D is going Wed night then you can buy a ready made meal for yourself.

I've got a list too but struggling to cross things off. I keep the house clean enough that if someone comes it doesn't look too bad, but not clean enough for myself.

Re: My Mosaic

Do you worry about all the stuff around the pending petrol crisis @Snowie ?

normally I’d be sweet I can just stay home. But what about my supports? I know there is always Telehealth but we all know that’s just not the same.

I have moments where I second guess going to this book fair on Friday. It’s a 45min drive and we got a big big mountain to drive back up on the way home which eats away at fuel. But this is something we look forward to.

like if I gotta pay stupid $ for fuel then be it, but what about when they start limit and only giving to essential services.

sigh

Hi @Bow

I do worry about the pending fuel crisis. The prices just seem to continue going up and up with no end in sight. The problem is that what Aus pays for fuel hasn't gone up that much. It's just the greedy owners that think they can make more money out of us.

I'm more worried about what is would do to food prices. Will they go up too.

Sorry rant over

I hope today goes ok for you.

Still in pj's here.

Re: My Mosaic

Hi @Snowie

yeah prices keep going up for fuel. I remember going and filling up at my local independent just around the corner for $1.49 the day after this all started. It was busy. Line up along the road. I remember going to pay and said to the cashier busy today, and she replied, yeah don’t know why. I thought have you not seen the news….. that place is now $2.29

and yes, there will be no doubt food prices will go up soon. Hopefully all the things that the government is putting in place will help stop all the price gouging.

i woke up not feeling great this morning. Did my groceries, went to Kmart to get some frames but they only had 4. Went to target they didn’t have any. So think I’ll do a click and collect for some more.

came home and put the food away and then went back to bed. Safest place

how r u?

Re: My Mosaic

Our fuel are high here too @Bow Both of our cars are diesel so it's even more expensive.

I have an app on my phone called fuel spy. It tells you the petrol prices in your local area so you can see which petrol station is the lowest.

Kmart order might be needed. Just did a temu order for things I don't need!!


Good work on getting your groceries done hon, especially if you are not feeling great. Another thing you can tick of your list. Bed sounds good too. Have you heard from your SW today or are expecting a visit?

I haven't gotten out of my pj's today, but made it to the couch. Least I put clean underwear on!!

Re: My Mosaic

We have a similar petroleum app I should download it @Snowie

im waiting on a SHEIN order to arrive and I’ve got some things in my temu cart too. I got temu order last week!

my SW came by this afternoon. She was proud of my achievements over the last day… a shower, dinner last night and getting the groceries done. She showed me an arts and craft schedule for April that my old SW has put together now that she is back. Sadly I will miss all but one of them cause I’ll be hospital most likely. But I just realise that arts and craft is scheduled for Thursday and ect is usually mon/wed/fri, so maybe someone could pick me up.

hey we sometimes need a day in our pjs and on the couch!

Re: My Mosaic

I have things in my shein cart @Bow!!

Really need to stay away from those websites 😏

Glad your SW came by. Would be good if you could go to them. Is it far from the hospital to where the group is on. I remember you going to them last time they were on. You should be proud of yourself hon, you have done a lot the last few days.

Had no energy nor motivation to do anything today. Feeling lazy.

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Yeah I spend too much time on them too @Snowie buying stuff I don’t need.

Everything is within 10mins drive. Hospital, home and SW’s office. So it’s very handy.

I’ve been lazy today too… and it’s ok yeah? Sometimes we need some rest yeah?

I’ve had a headache brewing most of the afternoon. I’d like to go crawl into bed now. D is also complaining that she is sick… sore stomach, nausea, sore throat and cold…. And she was like… what happens if I’m like this tomorrow?

Anything on tomorrow?
