Goodmorning @Phoenix_Rising 🙂
I hope the waters are calm and you found the ocean themed distraction helpful, I lost my little green fish friend but I found us some strawberries for brekky, I saved one for you, it's the same size of you actually, I hope you are hungry?!
Awwwww wow, a strawberry as big as me - that's pretty cool. Thanks for saving me one @Former-Member. I am feeling much better this morning. Did you read the adventure I had with Cherrybomb and some others last night? We went for a ride in a whale!
I'm not supposed to be here right now...I had planned to stay off the forums all day. However, I have reached the half-way mark on a baby step I had set for myself today, so I'm having a ten-minute reward here before getting back to what I was doing. Of course, it may take me the entire day to eat that strawberry, but I'll see how I go. Do you think it's safe to eat something the same size as yourself??? 
I just read through your night in the whale with everyone, must have been good although I am suprised you were okay with being in that space with them all, good job 🙂
haha I loved all the whale puns, it sounded like a whaly fun time 
... (that was really bad it sounded much better in my head).
Oh and yes time out from the forums is a great idea, it's easy to spend way too much time on here, my desktop is currently full of screenshots of cute animals, mostly turtles !
I think it's completely fine to eat a strawberry as big as you, you could also use some of it for a smoothie or to put on cereal, with cheese 🙂
Glad you are feeling a bit better and hope I don't distract you from what you are trying to do ha
Hey @Phoenix_Rising - I know the adventure is over, and I am hoping you're still on the surface but I wanted to add this here because I think it's super cool (i've tried a few times today but have gotten caught up in things). Littlest little got into a muddle early, early this morning so we went outside and played while the sun came up. This "rainbow octopus" appeared. It reminded me that even on a boat, or as a boat (or as a turtle, or as a whale, or in a whale, or as a scuba diving dog...), at least the ocean can be interesting sometimes.
Hope this afternoon is better for you than yesterday 🙂

@Former-Member You are correct in saying that your attempt at a whale pun was amazingly bad...and yet I laughed. 
I'm glad to hear that your desktop is full of screenshots of cute animals - most of which are turtles. Is there really any other way for a desktop to be???
Thanks again for the strawberry - I made it last for breakfast, lunch AND dinner...which I guess is what happens when you eat something as big as yourself!
Thanks for riding the wave with me. There is a reasonable chance that we will get to do it again sometime. 
@Former-Member Oh I super love littlest little's creation. How old is littlest little? Did he/she identify this as an octopus or is that your interpretation? I was thinking it looks like a jellyfish...in which case I would call him squishy and he shall be my squishy. It's sad that littlest little got into a muddle, but so very nice that he/she has you to help him/her with the muddle. Muddles can be so very...well...muddling, and it is always nicer if there is someone to sit with us in our muddles. Littlest little is super lucky to have you.
