That makes complete sense now @CheerBear and puts it all into context - thanks 
Now the 'winging it' message is very funny. I think I still have in the back of my mind that most things from overseas come by ship - must be the 'shipping information' message at the end of online transactions that subconsciously puts that in the back of my mind!!!! (maybe little turtle's literal brain is rubbing off on me lol)
If it is ok I would be interested in reading along with you guys?
Me too @CheerBear - and ditto for everything you just said Maybe Christmas in in July in September now - what ya think?
Good evening @CheerBear, @Zoe7 and anyone else who may be on the ocean this evening. I have actually managed to stay off the forum since this morning - well done me. I am superly duperly tired now and about to snuggle into my shell for the night.
@Zoe7 I am super excited that you want to join CheerBear and I on our DBT adventure. This is the book that we will be working through (but definitely don't feel that you need to have it to join in): https://www.bookdepository.com/DBT-Skills-Training-Manual-Marsh-M-Linehan/9781462516995?ref=grid-vie...
Ok, I'm almost asleep on my...er...flippers so this is me signing off for the night. 
That is cool little turtle - let the adventure begin 
@Phoenix_Rising
I check out the link - thanks.
Sleep well little turtle and well done on being forum free for most of the day
Only two more sleeps until I see my turtle whisperer and then HOPEFULLY she will be able to help me unmuddle the muddle of last Wednesday. Right now I feel like I don't want to ever leave my underwater cave. Right now I don't have any energy left to ride the wave. I feel SO awful. The adventure of last week came so totally out of the blue, and it has just smashed me - again. But that's ok, I can snuggle in my super snuggly cave for as long as I need to, and know that I'm not alone in my muddle.
Goodnight @CheerBear. I have been thinking about you and your LF today, and wondering how the day has been for you. I imagine it might have been a bit wonky. I'm glad I can be with you (but not) in your wonkiness.
Goodnight Forum Land.
@CheerBear I'm super glad you and your LF had a fun day yesterday despite internal wonkiness. I would super love to see the picture of me with one of my relatives.
I think I will be spending the day in my underwater cave today. Only one more sleep now until I see my turtle whisperer. I superly duperly hope she can help me unmuddle my muddle of last week.
