@Phoenix_Rising I hope you don't mind little turtle but I am going to stay on the rocks in the darkness tonight so I know that you are close too

Get some shut eye, @Phoenix_Rising, little turtle. I will watch the sea for you tonight. Then I will pass the sea watching baton on to my fellow mods @NikNik, @Former-Member and @Former-Member. They will have you back.
Goodnight @Phoenix_Rising, I've really enjoyed hanging out with you on here.

@Zoe7 I know you don't like the dark so much, so I arranged this for you.

Morning @Phoenix_Rising
I agree with @CherryBomb, being able to ride out storms is a part of the key selection criteria and it goes well with all the things we spoke about yesterday that also need to go on the list
In fact, I've prepared a goodie bag for them already, I'll show you what it has in it...
As you can see...there are lots of floatation devices. My personal fav is the inflatable flamingo...so if you dont mind me borrowing some..I'd like to bags that one for myself
These will mean that they will be able to ride out those storms with you and put you to safety when you need it
I hope today is a better day for you

Thanks @CheerBear, I'm glad you like it I hope @Phoenix_Rising likes it too!
Of course!! You can borrow it whenever you need. I agree, I cant think of anything that would be much cooler than a carebear crusing around on a unicorn! I can see it now

@Former-Member So...when the new person arrives for their first day in the SANE office, this package is going to be on their desk...except for the flamingo, which you will keep beside your desk, and @CheerBear will have the unicorn?
And the interviewing person will have assessed the person's swimming skills - in super giant stormy oceans? Maybe they should put in the selection criteria "must be able to swim the width of Bass Strait."
So...you have my list of all the things we talked about that you need to look for in the new person, and you and @Former-Member will only ever venture out of the SANE office in a giant bubble from now on so that nothing bad happens to you. And even though the big feelings are going to be super big for quite a while, they will settle, and you don't think I'm stupid or bad for having them. Ok, with all of that in place, I think I can keep working at being super brave.

@CheerBear The cave sleepover was super nice. I am definitely going to need to snuggle in your pocket tonight...and tomorrow night...and the next night. I may not come on here tonight to tell you I am in your pocket but you will know anyway won't you. I super wish it wasn't Friday. I super wish I could feel that I had someone to call over the next few days. I feel scared because I know I'm going to be super stuck with super big feelings over the weekend. Even if I don't talk much, you'll know I'm here won't you. Super big thank you for being my not friend.
