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

You've had a busy day @Bow

I hope your mum gets home ok.

I've had my suitcase lost before. I think 4 days later I got it! Hopefully she doesn't have to wait too long.

Ohh I love PA. Glad you got some new PJ's for hospital. Should look on their website to see what is on sale.

Glad your old SW visited. I know you connect with her really easily.

Mums home now @Snowie she had lots of delays. Delayed leaving Devonport cause of bad weather in Melbourne affecting planes coming into devonport. Then she had to run to her flight in Melbourne only for it to be delayed due to mechanical issues. No suitcase. Then issues with trains. And then I didn’t hear her text message and left her waiting for 20mins! 😂

And now she is yaking to my brother and I can’t hear the news!

anything on tomorrow for you?

Re: My Mosaic

oh dear @Bow sounds like quite a trip home for you mum.

Glad she is home safe no for both of you.

Have to go see mum in the morning. Will have a cuppa with her, keep her happy.

Other than that I'm hoping just a day at home.

Have you got anything on?

Won't be long out of bed here @Bow

Think I'd probably fall asleep on the couch if I put a movie on!

I hope your trip to Bunnings goes well.

Re: My Mosaic

Hello lovely @Bow 🥰

How are you?

I am responding to your message from the 19th -

It sounds like things with your new psychologist are going quite well! I am so glad he was able to offer some reflections and encouragement, especiallly around writing things down - I can see that really resonated.

Your message sounded really optimistic and hopeful! I would love to know how things are going this week.

Also, have you been making any art/preparing for any markets? ✨

@Jynx Ya got no idea how much it means that you remember that cottage garden. It really warms my heart.

bed was so nice and toasty last night. It was rather chilly and I didn’t even need my fan on.


@Bow and now my heart is warmed by reading this response!! Honestly I think it's what got me into 'cottage-core' 😂😍

Or some might call it 'hobbit-core' hahaha

Winter is my fav. Snuggles and soup weather! No sweaty-sticky. No dry eyes from blasting air-con. No sunburn. I can use my weighted blanket, have hot porridge for brekky, and keep my tealight candles burning to help make my space feel extra cosy!

How have your Sundays been?

Did you get the afternoon to yourself @Snowie?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Oh that hobbit winter picture is so cosy and warm @Jynx i love it

and yes winter is my fav too! For all the reasons you listed and more.

my Sunday has mostly been pretty chilled. Did some washing. Was going to go to bunnings but that just didn’t happen. Watched some tv with mum- she got back yesterday. Been sitting with a rollercoaster of emotions and thoughts for the majority of the day though.

how’s your day been?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

I'm glad your mum made it back okay @Bow I saw she had a bit of a debacle!! Is the rollercoaster to do with her return or...?

Yes more cosy is always the best!! Hmm I wonder what sort of soup I should make first... 🤔

Chill day for me today, dishes and laundry, hmph.

Re: My Mosaic

I think so @Jynx like feeling like I need to put my mask back on all the time now, but no she kinda knows I’ve been struggling- at least before she left she did, but does she remember? 2 weeks to get through until I can do an admission, is that a good or bad thing? I know I need it. How do I tell daughter? Had that all too familiar moment of being totally overstimulated… tv on, I’m trying to do something, mum is talking, D is talking, lounge is a total mess and inside I am screaming to shut up.

urgh

mmmm pumpkin soup? Have you tried cauliflower and bacon soup? Heaps creamy and very tasty
