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

Being on a ventilator is not pleasant @Bow and will leave you with a very sore throat for days afterwards.

I’m glad the comm MH came to visit and I hope you enjoy your chocolate making session with d. You’re a great mum creating happy memories. I bought our chocolates at the Lindt shop yesterday.

I didn’t go to church either this morning but will make an effort on Sunday.

Re: My Mosaic

Dropped D at her fathers this morning and then went to the shops with my mum for a bit. We had breakfast and did a bit of Easter shopping. The shops were mad. So many people. Glad I got eggs weeks ago… mum left it til the last minute though.

I am absolutely exhausted now though. Curled up in bed with my kitty watching some tv waiting for community mh to visit (hoping they didn’t come by in that hour we were out).

what is everyone else up to today?

sending warm squishy hugs and love for the day ahead @creative_writer @Eve7 @Emelia8 @Anastasia @Snowie @NatureLover and anyone else following along.

Re: My Mosaic

Sounds like a reasonably productive morning for you @Bow 💝

Not much happening here. Not many in hospital the long weekend, and no groups. I did go to rehab physio this morning though. And awfully sore as a result, with shooting nerve pain. Have taken an opiate pain killer. About to call my dad now before I become tongue tied as a result. Then plan on lying down to rest for a couple of hours and let the little pill work its magic. Most unproductive of me! Sigh. 😔

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow shopping can be very exhausting at times but can be a good outing with family and friends. I hope the MH team contacts you soon too, hon. Sending you big hugs ❤️. Haven’t been up to much today. I do have to film soon with my partner for an uni assignment. Just hoping my head holds up, my low grade migraine doesn’t become full blown and my anxious thoughts don’t take over my mind again.

@Emelia8 I hope the pain gets better soon. I can’t imagine how much pain you’re in, it sounds awful. Sending you love and hugs ❤️.

Re: My Mosaic

@Emelia8 So sorry that your still in so much pain. I forget- what is the next step your dr is looking at doing? I’d imagine a lot of people go home for Easter? Are you allowed any leave? I know many years ago when I was in and out of psych wards I was allowed leave if I was doing ok. But have noticed it’s not allowed at the moment due to covid I would assume. Hard with no visitors too the majority of the time. Please be gentle with yourself. Be kind. You are allowed to rest, this is the place for it.

Re: My Mosaic

It’s hard when I’m usually able to do 7+kms a day on the treadmill and then some ridiculous amount on the bike. I’m trying really hard to just listen to my body and rest. Fuel it, which terrifies me.
hope your migraine goes away @creative_writer they can be horrible, and that you can get your uni work done. What are you studying?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow yes sometimes we need to take it a bit easy as a means of looking after yourself. We are human at the end of the day, we often place so many expectations on ourselves it can be overwhelming. Sending you positive healing vibes.

My migraine has just escalated itself. Not what I need in the midst of assignments. I’m studying Master of social work.

Re: My Mosaic

the weather has been really nice here the last couple of days, so after being woken super early by D to hunt for eggs, i decided to go for a walk. Just a short one. didnt want to burn all my energy before the day had even started. it was nice out walking. ive been spending alot of time on the treadmill, but think i might go back to going for a walk. freshair, some Vit D and take the dog for a walk too..... and get back into some podcasts.

ive been pottering around in the garden today. ive had heaps of plants in water propogating and they were beyond ready to be put in soil, so i did that and then went around and gave some plants and trim so that i could propogate more plants. its an ongoing cycle. i enjoy gardening. i have some beautiful begonias, but am struggling with how to best look after them.

Community mh came around this morning too. not much to report to them really. they have been checking in on my phyical health as well cause of how much everything has knocked me around. i havent spoken to them much about my mental health, i just tell them that i am ok. Which is the truth. im ok, im not at risk. but ive been doing alot of thinking. it doesnt sound right to say im looking forward to seeing my psychologist on tuesday... i dont know what words to use, but i really need to talk. process.

anyhow, i shall go do some more pottering around.

Sounds like a really nice day @Bow . I'm glad.

Nice enough day here too. Did some art. I painted a large parrot in water colour.
