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

Today has been a hard day. I’ve never been a fan of Father’s Day. I don’t have a good relationship with my real dad. My step dads health is progressively getting worse and we don’t think he has much time left. And now I’m a single mum playing both roles….. and all over social media is happy families. I’m real flats. I have SI.

Re: My Mosaic

Sounds like an exciting day in Paris @Bow

I think it is normal to feel a little flat coming back from holiday. I hope today gets a little better for you. Please remember you are doing an amazing job of being a parent.

Hi @Bow .. hoping things are better for you today.

How’s the jet lag going for you and your daughter?

Re: My Mosaic

Thanks for popping by @Captain24 Not really any better unfortunately

I’ve had an appointment with my psychologist this morning, and then my case manager and psychiatrist. They went ok. My meds have been increased again though.

jetlag is mostly gone I think. Just need to stretch myself out a bit more and stay up a bit later, cause I’m ready for bed by 6:30 and then up super early. Daughter is ok too, but didn’t wanna go to school today, took a lot of encouragement to get her out the door.

Hi @Bow

I must have missed your return. How was your trip? Sorry to hear your meds have been increased. Are you not doing too well?

Jetlag is AWFUL. Hope you get over it soon x

Re: My Mosaic

Got back last Thursday @hanami we had a lovely time away. So much exploring, having fun. Neither of us wanted to come home.

I’ve felt myself sinking the last few days since being home. I didn’t think it would happen so quickly to be honest.

Re: My Mosaic

Sorry to here things are still rough @Bow . Hope the increase in meds helps settle things down a little for you.

Im sure your daughter will have a good day when she can start telling stories of all her adventures
