My Mosaic

Lotsa memories while being down here yeah @Jynx good…. And some bad too.

mum and I went to this amazing antique shop today. Gosh if only I had a bigger car, or like a trailer! You name it they had it there. Rooms full of vinyls, cds and DVDs, books, chinaware. I commented on the lack of Alice books when I paid for a vinyl and she said the owner collects old children’s books!

oh dear poor Razz…. Have they settled now?

I had such a bad night. Nightmare that felt so real and took me ages to settle again. It’s lingering this morning. It doesn’t feel safe inside my body

Hi @Bow

I’m really sorry you had such a difficult night. Nightmares that feel so real can be incredibly unsettling, and it makes sense that the feelings from it are still lingering this morning.

Does anything help, even a little, to calm your nervous system down?

I’m glad you reached out and shared how you’re feeling 💛

Hi @Nala2022 thanks for replying.

i spent some time on my spikey mat. It took the edge off things a little bit.

gotta somehow pull myself together cause need to go out.

I’m glad your spikey mat helped take the edge off a little bit @Bow

I hope getting out goes okay. Take care of yourself today 💛

Oh wow, it sounds like there's so much going on for your brother, but I am so glad he is able to get the support he needs right now. Are you still with him? @Bow 🫶

Op-shops and more books sound really fun! What did you get?!

Has D been enjoying time with the family too?

My days have been very busy, because I have been working a lot. I had my birthday on the weekend, so that was very full and fun too. I am working on a theatre project with a friend, which has been really wholesome and good for my body/mind. I don't know if I told you, but I paused study for now - just wanting to slow down and take care of my nervous system for a bit. Thank you for asking. ✨

What are your updates?

Hey @AuntGlow feels like forever in between visit from you and other psw.

yes we are still in tassie, we start the long journey home on Thursday. Looking forward to stopping off at the markets on the way. tomorrow is chemo day for my brother, pending his bloods today are ok. He has missed the last 2 weeks of chemo cause he has been sick.

I think my D is a bit over me stopping in at op shops and book stores. I have picked up 32 Alice books on this trip! I have bought some vacuum bags for our clothes to make room for all of my books! 😂

D has mostly been enjoying the time. She has played many games of uno with my brother- currently teaching him a new version that we picked up today called uno liar. Don’t think his keen though, doesn’t like to stray too far from his usual version.

happy birthday for the weekend- glad it was a good time! Did you have cake?

really good that your taking care of yourself at the moment- we all need that from time to time.

not too much else to update you on. I’ve unfortunately been struggling a fair bit while away. Body issues. My ED voice has been very loud and thinking of plans for when I get back home. I’m struggling a lot physically. Aches and pains and other stuff. I’m so use to eating not much and now been eating 3 meals a day and it’s feel very overwhelming. I very much get sick of eating. Oh and very much looking forward to looking myself in my room for a week when I get home! I’m peopled out and my D has been extra clingy and I’m all touched out! Just leave me alone!

@Snowie how are you today? How was your day?

Antiquing can be a blessing and a curse hey @Bow !! I'm in the process of trying to get rid of things still so I have to ban myself from visiting op shops these days ahaha.

Sounds like it's been quite the trip! Not long till home now, yeah?

I got an email @Jynx! I got an email! 😂

yep starting the long trip home tomorrow night. Just out for dinner and then we’ll be heading back to start packing all our stuff up.

how’s your day?
