@CheerBear your blanket looks awesome! I love the idea of you and @Former-Member crocheting together but not.
I was super struggling this morning but I talked it through with the wonderful Pebbles and I feel more ok about it now. I do still superly duperly miss CherryBomb though. It takes a looooooong time for my missing-someone feelings to settle.

Thank you so much @Phoenix_Rising, @CheerBear. I'm not sure what to say. I guess I wanted you to know that today I have been riding a very big wave for the very first time without defaulting to my usual way of coping with them. I think I've learned a lot from you both riding the very big ginormous waves you've had and it gave me confidence to try. I've had support to get through and I think I'll make it just now. Thanks for being such great role models here and giving me the confidence to try.
I seriously have wanted to sneak into the nest all day.
And @CheerBear i 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 the crochet. I'm in awe of those colours together. It looks fabulous.......I love the design too.
💜🤗 & 🐢💐
@Former-Member I've been reading your stuff and thinking of you too. I know you are having a very hard time too and so glad you've found the best too 💜🤗💐

@Former-Member Best = nest which happens to be the best too
thank you so much @Zoe7 for the flowers. I just saw them. Thinking of you too. I still check in with you every morning but by stealth these days......working up to being more visible again.

@Teej I am on my way to bed but I needed to stop by and tell you how superly duperly excited I am to hear you had a go at riding the wave today without defaulting to your usual way of dealing with big feelings. It is SO HARD...but it does get a tinsy tiny bit easier with practice. Forum Land SUPER helps me to be able to ride the waves. It helps so much to not feel alone in the muddle.
@CheerBear I am super sorry to hear that your version of K will soon be leaving your world. It super super super sucks. I think my turtle whisperer and I will be talking about maybe finding a back-up turtle whisperer or something for if she gets squished by a bus. I don't quite know what that will look like right now, but I think I need something in place because the terror of losing my turtle whisperer is a big issue.
Anyway, now I REALLY have to go to bed. Night nest dwellers.

Thanks @CheerBear.
Just wanted to share something with you because I know you experience something similar. It was 6 years ago today that I also had my last day at uni. I came home from uni very excited about my day when my Big Bang happened. I was studying web design (bachelor of media arts).
Today when I saw you crochet (as I was already kind of back at Uni for a few reasons in my head) I thought what an awesome colour palette those colours would make for a web page. I guess it bought a fond memory of uni back too, something I used to be able to do. I'm not angry that I can't anymore but it was not maybe as easy for me to see how I could create a career out of.
I'm sorry that you will be losing a big support person. It's definitely something I struggle with.....changing support people. I hope you get a new support person who is awesome.
Thanks for your kind words above. 💜🤗💐
