MIA

Sorry to have been missing in action

BUT

I had an enormous shock when a senior member of staff from my workplace suddenly appeared at my back window — approx 630pm — and i was in my Peppa Pig PJs ready for bed, eating a rusk with a glass of milk and messaging with Miss S

After the dust settled, I mentally overplayed the consequences. I didn’t sleep well for several days. I had a couple of purges. And was convinced i was lost etc

However, up stepped Miss S. She has been brilliant (Isn’t she always) — guiding me through the steps and processes and life. Not pushing or forcing me down a path but doing things i said i needed and making sure i did them well.

I am now in a better place and happy to continue with my preferred lifestyle — it is me and better for me.

Miss, you’ve been a star, a shining star. I adore and worship you!

Miss S has also reintroduced Corner Time. It dropped out of use while my mum was ill and never made it back. Miss has reintroduced it because i think she believes (and she is right) it gives me focus and meditation time, plus she loves it. A simple showing of power and control.

15 minutes minimum, plus 5 mins for each spot on the rolled die. yesterday was a 4 — hence 4x5=20 — meaning a 35 minute Corner Time later today. And I feel lucky that Miss S looks after me like that.

I believe I am still a few weeks away from total stability but this bump (huge bump!) in the road has been navigated and the journey continues.
