I have to get back to my blueprint. I was rereading my notes from the 5 week course and got triggered. What started as remembering the event that I was told about (as a baby my 2yr old brother tried to cut my throat-perhaps because I was getting all the attention now- and Mom caught him in time to stop it), evolved into a full blown reliving of a heated conversation with my mother after my brother's funeral. She alluded to a recent spat with my brother (who called and started ripping me and my husband over some nonsense) with an uncle and aunt from out of state . It was a very emotional time and I LOST IT. Triggered: I started reliving the conversation LOUDLY in my head... And then I took a breath. "This is over. They have passed. Continue the work." (Calm thru teardrops) Thank you @Jim Ebbelaar

I am trying to do 2 things at once and I really can’t. Watching “Who do you think you are” whilst writing this and I cannot concentrate on the tv, so having to keep rewinding it again and again! Even when I try to read a book I find I can get distracted and read the same paragraph over and over again and it still doesn’t sink in. I have given up reading books as I find it so difficult to take it in. Even if I do persevere, I put the book down and go to sleep and the next day I have no idea what is going on in the book. I also get this with the tv. My husband will say let’s we watch the next episode of something that we have been watching and I don’t have a clue. My brain is somewhere else most of the time. Do you think it could be called “the goldfish effect?”

It would be interesting to learn what hobbies and interests you have? I am a keen genealogist and have been researching my family tree for the last 30 years. I have a passion to recycle and reuse things like old tires and make them into something useful, although the tires are still in the production stage. I take old plastic bottles and make them into flowers. I have made portraits using tiny Hama beads (fuse beads (aka Perler, Nabbi, or Hama). And it can take over 25,000 beads to make one portrait. I have just got into making miniatures. My husband has ME and he is in a support group, where the members create art and once a year they display their work for 2 weeks. We make things as a family and some of our creations have been displayed in St. Albans Cathedral which has just finished. Unfortunately I haven’t sold anything but would love to get a commission to make a Hama bead portrait and work out how to frame them and ship them. I have many other crafts that I want to try but haven’t got around to yet, but there is time! Here are a few portraits I have made, do you recognise any of these people?

How is everyone doing with there big rocks? I missed at least a week and a half.... I was in bed. Trying to get better and better... But noticed my 🪨 weren't going anywhere without me moving them. 🤣 I'm so glad Sage was there to help me, keep my sanity🤣🤣 So for now I'd love to make a comeback! And I could use some inspiration... what rocks did u choose and what little steps did you make over the last 2 weeks?! 💖 🍒 🌸
