For the teenagers!

Hi Stef,
How are you going there? Are you all still feeling sick?

Hi Iain,
How are things going with you? Did all the work get finished?

Hi Cody,
Are you still going away this weekend? Or was it last weekend?

Hi Sasha,
Community college does sound like it could be fun. Did you do some interesting classes?

Hi to everyone else. I hope everyone is doing ok.

Hi Nicole,

Thanks for asking. Yeah we're going out of town tomorrow. The Littles are upset, Host is stressing, and I'm like WTF! This is too much! Host is working like the world's not CRAZY right now.

Hi Sasha. It's crazy-town around here with stress up to the eyeballs! Hope you got things sorted where you are. Did you just love ballet?

Cody

*waves* Hi everyone! It's real good ta meet you guys. I will try hard to keep your names right. For us names do mean a lot.

Community college was cool. We went there an I made several friends then they stopped texting me after we graduated. Was a little sad. We cant afford to take more classes right now. But maybe one day. All of us like school.

Never been clubbing. Wish I could've gone bak in the day. But mostly where we are from you could go ta the bar or whatever. Never liked that tho. Felt like old guys googly eyeing us. Not for me. I like ta flirt ya, but not with real old guys.

Sorry we didnt get bak here sooner but our Host had a bad monday. She fell down and bruised up our knees both of em this time. She trips sometimes an now the body isnt young like some of us an it just takes a lot out of her. Then yesterday she used the walker an went to get the covid shot. Scared the littles. So we had a picinic with them on the patio wit their tea cups and little crackers an stuff.

I can get time out but mostly i dont see a point any more. No one around really ta hurt us which is good but leaves me with too much time. an no friends ta talk with so i get lonely out. But when i do come out i play video games. World of warcraft (WoW) is my favorite.

Do you guys play games too? how about listening to the books on audio? We like those cuz then we can play our game an hear a story too.

oh we had a therapist for a long time but when the covid came we stopped. paused it or whatever. not sure when Host is going to unpause it. but she will. hope soon. i soemtimes dont want to go but i know over the years it does help some.

Rose i hear ya about the memories thing. we get triggered by stupid stuff that kinda makes us remember soemting but not all the way. Like smells do this and songs too. But our old therapist says to "sit with it an know its not happenign rite now just watch and see what it is trying to tell you." sometimes that works and helps the memory come out but sometimes not. Host told me one time that its cuz its not "my" memory. but belong s ta one of the others.

cody sounds like ur Host is a workaholic. ours used ta be. but is physically disabled now an it makes her very sad about thta but not me. im glad we dont have ta get up an run off ta work every day even weekends for nuthing. Hope your Host will rest some time and let all you guys out for R & R (rest and relaxation). Hope it calms down ta less than crazy on the crazy meter. Take care of your selves.


hi sasha. thank you for welcoming us. And hi rose and cody and nicole and stef and sabbie. <3 <3 <3 I do feel welcome with you all jus coming to wave and say hi to me. Feels good to meet you all.

you all are very nice. <3

Hi Cody,
Sorry about the stressing at the moment. I hope the trip is ok, despite the stress and upset.

Hi Jenn,
I totally understand that names are important. We had to answer to Jo and pretend we were her for soo long.
Sorry your Host fell and hurt themselves/the body. The body here has physical issues too, and it affects our mobility, as well as causing a lot of pain and fatigue. It totally sux. We walk like we are 80, not teenagers. I miss doing the things we used to do, or doing things other teens get to do. Like horse riding, ice skating, jogging. What do you miss about being in an older/physically limited body?
We don’t listen to audio books, but some of us read. We watch tv and play games on the iPad. I’ve never played WoW.

Hi to everyone else. I hope you are all doing ok.

Yeah Nicole but I think we about ready to go face it an get something done.


Hey Jenn, an welcome! Glad you here- that sucks about the hosty not wanting you to use your name I don't get it what's with that? You're right about sticks and mud though. We're all okay so like don't wanna admit anything but I mean okay so we go along with hosty a lot now and we sorta understand and it's hard to fight but we used to get in a lot of fights with hosty about stuff. Can't do this can't do that.

Oh an I'm Stef I'm 16 an sometimes Sabrina post here she's 12. We're a lot alike but not completely of course lol. You'll know if it's Sabbie she posts like she's manic or something she doesn't stop. But glad to meet you!

Hi Iain and Cody, I hope the trip isn’t too stressful and maybe you even get to have fun.

Hi Jenn, sorry you understand about the memories. That is what it is like for us I think - sometimes the memories we see aren’t our own, but sometimes they are. So even if something really bothers me, some of the others may see the same thing but they aren’t overly bothered by it. Is that how it works for you all?

Hi Stef, did you manage to look after yourselves? Are you feeling any better?

I hope everyone else is doing ok.

On Monday the T tried to drum it into our heads that we are not to blame for the stuff that happened, that we didn’t do anything wrong - and that has upset me more. I dunno why. I wasn't the one that was dealing with that issue, the thinking we were to blame. So why has him saying it isn’t our fault upset me?

Rose

Hi Rose,

We didn't get to go on the trip because we got sick instead. Now we're tired of being sick and want to do something fun.

I don't know why knowing it's not your fault makes you feel bad.

Iain

Hi Iain,
Sorry you are sick. Are you feeling any better now?

Hi Cody,
How are you going there? Are you still feeling sick too?

Hi Stef,
Sorry you are sick as well. I hope you went and saw someone and are now feeling better.

Hi Sasha,
That’s cool you do ballet. I can’t imagine being coordinated enough to do that!

Hi Jenn,
How are things with you? As Rose told you, the body here is classed as disabled, so we understand what that’s like. It does get frustrating when the body can’t keep up with what we want to do! And yes, we fall a fair bit too which is horrible.

I hope everyone is having a good day,

- Nicole

Hey, Nicole--thanks! Most of the ballet stuff is done holding onto a barre, and it's nearby if we let go to try to balance. We don't stay very long after they put the barres away. We're getting better at it but it's slow.

Hi Cody--are you guys better yet? That sucks that you had to miss your trip and staying in a hotel and stuff!


Our littles are all overwhelmed and upset because they liked seeing the bodywork therapist. But we had to stop because it wasn't good for them/us. We're trying to take it easy today and to take care of them.

Sasha <3 <3 <3

Hi Sasha,

We're STILL sick. The body is in the bathroom ALL THE TIME and I'm so freaking tired of it.

It's cool that you're in ballet with a barre and everything. I'm SUPER impressed!

What's the deal with the bodywork T? We can't do that AT ALL because we get SO triggered.

Cody
