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

@Snowie, I am making fish, just chilling and resting before the week starts up again. How are you?

Re: My Mosaic

I almost always end up cleaning D’s clutter and mess @creative_writer i got into trouble with tears a little while ago cause I threw out stuff that I wasn’t meant to! How do I know what’s rubbish and what’s treasured art when it’s all over the floor and she won’t clean it up?!?!! 😠 She has a craft area right near the entry to my room, so every time I go into my room I have to walk past…. Step over stuff. And when I have people come visit and they come through to my room they see the mess too.

it’s other people’s mess and clutter too. My mum! Mums preparing for a big market next weekend. Stuff everywhere. She has a whole spare room to sew and store stuff, but she ventures out into the kitchen to cut up fabric, papers everywhere. Crates everywhere.
It truly sends my anxiety sky high

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow, clutter can make rooms feel crowded too, it’s fair enough to feel annoyed.

@Snowie, thank you. It’s going to be a full on week but time will fly by and it’ll be the 21st of Dec soon (that’s when I’m scheduled to finish) assuming I have no sick days. Hopefully I won’t get sick again. I hope the week goes well for you too. Do you have much planned?

Re: My Mosaic

I hope the time flies for you @creative_writer It's scary to think that christmas will be here soon.

Haven't got much planned this week. Got my psych on Tuesday which hubby is coming to. Nervous about that and how it will go. Then gp later in the week.

Re: My Mosaic

@Snowie, completing this placement would be an achievement. The last placement dropped me out after a few days. My coordinator wasn’t very happy about how things were handled with me on the other placement. It was a very shit experience, i hate when organisations don’t take policies and procedures seriously either. I was going home crying, I am better off with my current one. I didn’t know if I could do it after the shit experience, but here I am, already done a significant portion of it and my supervisors are lovely.

I hope the appointment with psych and GP helps and you find them healing💖. I have one with psych nurse after uni on Tuesday too

Re: My Mosaic

Sometimes we have to go through the shit storm to come out the other side @creative_writer

I am glad you have such supportive supervisors now and it is working out for you. It is so much easier to front up every day when we have that support and a nice environment to be in.

I hope your appt. on Tuesday goes well.

Re: My Mosaic

@Snowie, I think I was better off leaving, not feeling supported and respected in a work environment wouldn’t have gone down well. This is why I want to discuss with the placement coordinator my options for second placement. I can’t remember when I last had an appointment, I do have plenty of things to talk about. I don’t think I’ll go heavy this time around, I just don’t know the nurse well. Maybe I will go deeper when I have my psych appointment
