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

I’m really anxious about my blood results. They need to be ok so that my team don’t worry while my mum is away. But in all honestly, I’ve been struggling still with a lot of things and it won’t surprise me if they aren’t ok.
Im still really disappointed with my case manager. My mum spoke with her over a week ago about her going away and wanting additional support for me. I haven’t heard a peep from my CM since. I’d like to know what the plan for my medication will be while my mum is away and she goes on Thursday and my CM doesn’t work tomorrow.
I know that I have my support worker and she will provide me with as much support as I want, but it would be nice if my CM acknowledged my existence. What’s the point of having her otherwise???
My ankle is still sore. I thought it was getting better yesterday but this morning it’s really sore again. And I am struggling mentally with it. I am trying to take care of myself, but I also need to be moving my body.

Re: My Mosaic

Hi @Bow
A lot is going on for you 💖

I'm sorry about your CM, this sounds like a time you need support and it sounds like things have not been followed up.

Hugs to you, how are you finding ways to take care of yourself while your ankle heals?

Re: My Mosaic

This lack of support from my CM has been going on for months @fluffylight.… since July. I don’t know how many times I’ve raised it with different people, I had wanted to try and work things out, but perhaps it’s beyond that and I need to go above and request a new one.

I’m just doing my usual other things to get through the day. It helps if I have an appointment or somewhere to go. Passes some time. Then I paint. Build Lego. Curl up in bed and watch tv. Do puzzles. I desperately want to get on the treadmill though.

Re: My Mosaic

I think you've shared a good suggestion to take on - requesting a new one @Bow You deserve better support 💛

I can hear your want to get back to moving your body! I hope it comes sooner to you rather than later. These activities sound nice 🙂

Any stand out paintings or lego you have done?

Re: My Mosaic

Yep, just need the courage to to take action @fluffylight thats where I will struggle.

I don’t know how long my Achilles tendon is gonna take to heal properly. I sure hope it ain’t too much longer.

I’ve been working on a butterfly paint by numbers. It’s been a bit of a slow process. But I am getting there. I’ve also been slowly building the new Lego Disney castle. It has 25 bags. 3 thick instruction books. She’s a beauty! And I’ve really been enjoying the process.

Would love to see the end result of that sounds like it will look so nice!! Oo and disney castle sounds like a treat to be building!

I am off for the night - there is some pasta waiting for me 🙂

Sending so much light your way,
