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 🙂

It’s been a super long day. With lots of delays. But we are home in Sydney now, just catching a shuttle to our car. Then need to drive home- I’m tired!

Hi @Bow

Glad to hear you are back home. I hope the drive home went ok and you got some sleep. Nothing better than sleeping in our own bed.

Sending lots of love hon 💕💕

Re: My Mosaic

Yesterday was a full and long day. Saying goodbye to my brother was hard, not sure when… or even if I’ll see him again. That’s tough.

We then went on to explore Launceston. We stopped off at the Christmas hills raspberry’s farm. Every talks about it, I finally stopped in. Had delicious scones hot out of the oven with fresh jam and cream.

Then in Launceston we went to the gorge, D was desperate to see peacocks. And she seen some, manages to touch one of their tails too. Beautiful birds, very noisy birds. Then onto Penny royal world, but was disappointing that it most most in-operational during the week. But we wandered around and D had an ice cream. We then went on to see if the monkeys at city park were still there, to our surprise they were! Stood there for ages just watching them play, groom each other, there was even a one week old baby clung to its mumma- super cute! We found a cute artisan souvenir shop and popped into toy world to see if they have the new Lego flower pots- but no luck.
D had had enough so we headed to the airport, dropped the car off and went ti check into our flight. So very thankful that we ended up going with the flight via Melbourne, as the direct flight to Sydney was cancelled! But our flight was delayed a couple of times, which stressed me out cause we had a tight connection in Melbourne, but soon worked out that that was also delayed and then in the end our flight from Launceston was the same

one going onto Sydney. Eventually got to Sydney, and of course our bags took ages to come out, then a shuttle to our car and then the 1hr drive home. And you can never just go straight to sleep!!

Up at 6am for market this morning. I was beyond tired. I had 2 Vs. I wandered the market. Then went to the local shops and wandered the shops. Then back to the market and wandered some more. I couldn’t sit down. I would of fallen asleep.

I am so exhausted. So so exhausted. I’ve told mum and D that unless it’s an emergency I am in bed. Eat drink do what you want. I don’t particularly care.
And I have to do church in the morning faaaarrrrkkkk.

One of my ED behaviours is out of control at the moment. Was at the airport yesterday, about to start a what would be a 8hr journey…. And I was really unwell. Scared. Was really unsure what to do. Bit unsure who to mention it to this week.

Re: My Mosaic

Wow! It's been go go go go for you @Bow .

I think I'd just drop into bed if I were in your shoes.

Hope the market went okay. I didn't know you still go to church. I hope you can find people who are supportive and genuinely care.

As for your ED behaviours, I'm sorry to hear that it is so loud right now. I hope you find the strength to do what's right. Sorry, I don't know much about ED behaviours, so I'm not going to pretend to know. But please know we are here for you if you need a chat.

Re: My Mosaic

I managed a bit of a nap @tyme but still staying put in bed!

market was really slow. It’s a really busy country market, but usually does really well. But this was her first time there in a year, cause she’d been off caring for my step dad. May take a bit of time to get her regularly back again.

we still go to church every now and again. Happen to go some time ago when the kids started their Christmas production and my D picked her role. No words thankfully so no biggie that we haven’t been there but it’s their final full dress rehearsal tomorrow. My friend/old pastors have already offered to take her if I can’t get there myself, which is nice.

im already looking at the week ahead…. Pdoc first thing Monday morning and groceries. Tuesday bloods and arts and craft. Wednesday psychologist. I’m thinking of starting to go to a guided journaling group ran by the same folks that do my arts and craft and my SW is from of a Wednesday afternoon. Thursday dietitian. My SW is back this week too! Yippee! I’ll probably see my CM Monday at my pdoc appointment. Oh mum and I have to sew 3 snowmen costumes for the kids for Sunday. And I need to take one of my cats to the vet. He has blood in his pee.
Urgh all that is overwhelming me!!!

nah won’t talk about my ED stuff. Too confused about what I can and can’t say. Just know that I am really struggling with it

how are you tyme????

Re: My Mosaic

Thanks @Snowie i had a bit of a sleep in… until daughter came in and woke me up! 😠

we skipped church. D didn’t want to go and feels confident that she doesn’t have to do much as a snowman.
I unpacked. Cleaned and tidied my room. Bit of a reset. Did some washing. Now doing our nails.

how are you doing today @Snowie ?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Least you got a bit of a sleep in @Bow

I think my kids are at the stage where I wake them up!!

Glad you can have a bit of a quiet day. Holidays are good, but sometimes you can come back exhausted from them.

I am ok thanks just tired. Had a wedding yesterday so was a late night. I'm too old for late nights!!

In response to: Re: My Mosaic
