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

@Bow, I’m sorry that you have to hear him say that 🫂. What are you watching on Netflix? I hope you have a lovely time with your D too.

Been having a rough day today.

Re: My Mosaic

@creative_writer I finished watching the series night agent. Then I watched a short series called nurse. And now I am watching a movie called brain on fire.

just finished dinner and have crawled into bed. I spent the majority of the day painting and now I think I over did it cause my neck is sore and I feel headachy.

I briefly called my mum to make sure my D was home from her fathers. I was anxious about that. But she is home and safe eating her ice cream. Can’t wait to see her tomorrow

sorry things have been so rough for you @creative_writer what have you been up to today?

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow, I haven’t seen those. Painting sounds nice and relaxing. So we were thinking of going out for lunch tom, but changed last min and went for dinner today instead. Otherwise, I haven’t been up to much, I wasted another day. I just hope I can do my two uni assignments tom, they are due Monday week 😬

Re: My Mosaic

Hope dinner was nice then @creative_writer what did you have? I had some kind of chicken casserole, rice beans and carrots. And then panacotta for dessert. The food ain’t terrible in here, but I do like to be able to choose what I have, they usually give us a menu to fill in each morning but they didn’t this morning, so I got what ever. I’m eating every meal, but my ED is very loud… and I get very anxious when I can’t make my own menu choices.

I know what it’s like to feel like we waste our days. I feel that way most days. Good luck with your uni assignments, what are they on?

Re: My Mosaic

Anxiously awaiting the message from the ex wanting to know why I am in hospital….. my daughter would have told him today… and it’s always his business to know. Sigh

Re: My Mosaic

No doubt you are anxious @Bow I would be too.

Saw this picture and thought of you straight away.

Have a good day with your daughter tomorrow 💜

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow Well done for eating every meal! And I'm glad you have the 7 hours leave today...hope it goes really well 🙂

@Bow and @Snowie I've read 'Spare' by Harry and it was really good. He's very honest I think. I respect him as he is man enough to admit to his mistakes, apologise and try to make amends. Not many men can/ are willing to do that I reckon.

@creative_writer I hope you feel better soon... 🤞

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow, I had grilled chicken, salad and rice. Was too full and sick to have dessert, even though I didn't eat a lot. Sorry, to hear your ED is very loud. I haven't been diagnosed with an ED, but I like planning my meals as a means of control, I would get anxious if I couldn't choose what to eat too, but I would imagine it would be harder with an ED.

I have a presentation assignment where I present a summary of a family's issues and possible interventions. The other is a written assignment on a traumatic grief case study.

Re: My Mosaic

@NatureLover thank you. I feel like my biggest triggers are changes in daylight and trauma. I really need to find a way to heal from trauma. I hope you are doing well ❤️

@Snowie, I hope today has been kind to you ❤️

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow no doubt you are with your gorgeous D by now and having a great day with her.

No doubt the goodbye will be hard for both of you so wishing it all goes ok.

Will be around afterwards if you need someone to talk to or just sit 💕💕
