My Mosaic

Oh I hate summer @Jynx really hate it. It’s not good for my fibromyalgia and I’m pretty sure it impacts my mh too. Give me a year of autumn over a season of summer.

Yeah that’s probably a good idea to make a list. She always has a check in list with me…. And maybe that as far as we get tomorrow

I'm right there with you @Bow - I really hate being hot and especially hate being sweaty! Not looking forward to Jan/Feb 😑

List sounds good, and hopefully it turns out to be a helpful session 😊

I’m the odd one out @Jynx @Bow as I just love summer. January is my favourite month.

Yeah funny how different people respond to different temperatures @Eve7! You'd think, as someone who grew up on the mid-north coast and spent most weekends at the beach, that I'd love summer! But I think it's a sensory thing. I greatly dislike being sticky and sweaty and feeling like there's no reprieve, short of jumping in the ocean. And that neccesitates putting on sunscreen, which is also a sensory nightmare. I don't like being hot!!

I don't to be cold either, I just want to be cold and made warm by blankets and snuggly things 😋

I don’t ever use sunscreen @Jynx I just can’t do it but I do like being in the ocean and sleeping under the fan.

I love being on the sand with the sun on me…I do cover up if it’s really hot.

It's just so gross haha @Eve7

I mean, lying on warm sand is okay when it's like...25-30 degrees. Anything above 30 and I start to get VERY cranky 😅

I’m with ya @Jynx sticky and sweaty and not being able to breathe properly. That instant wall of heat as soon as you open the door. My friend around the corner have a pool and we pretty much have an open invite…. But that requires so much effort. Sunscreen… yuck. Going out in the heat in the first place to get there. Swimmers on. Swimmers off. Showers. Washing hair. Prefer to just stay inside in front of the AC.

@Eve7 I think qld heat is a little different. I remember when I lived up there for a year, it was heaps different.

Yeah that northern heat is nasty @Bow - it's the humidity. I keep moving further and further south, and the summers are much drier and more tolerable down here.

Oh I'm with you @Jynx @Eve7 and @Bow - I can't stand sunscreen!

@Eve7 January is my favourite month too, partly as it's like a fresh start and partly due to the sunshine. Not that I like it too hot, but it's my strongest month for mental health and I usually schedule some work on my hoarded boxes for then.

@Bow I didn't know you had fibromyalgia 😢 So sorry to hear 😢
Good luck with your psych appt today. I hope you can bring up about the meds delivery schedule changing 🤞

@Jynx I’d move back to tassie in a heartbeat…. But can’t. D even spoke about moving there when we were there, but I didn’t reminder her if her father. Sigh
