Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Hi Everybody 😊

Thanks for the shout-out @Former-Member

Everything going as well as can be expected over here ....

21st party in three weeks, then starts the BFGW (Big Fat Greek Wedding) countdown ....

Piecing together all the to-do stuff by degrees, and trying to not drop any balls ....

So pleased your respite has come through for you ..... hope it breaks the cycle as it has before, and you feel you equilibrium reconnect .... be thinking of you ...

❤️🌷💕

@Former-Member Brain drain is frustrating. I think it just took me 20 min to unload the dryer and reload it and about 1km of walking in circles and backwards and forwards trying to remember what I was doing lol😂 I can't imagine doing this with your littlies. Keep strong and never forget how well you are doing to juggle everything on your plate.💜😊

@Former-Member it sounds like a great adventure where you are now and that you're connected to spirit and land. Enjoy💜😊

@Pinkeye. Good to hear things are on the up for you too 💜😊

Hi @Former-Member

The idea to get the best out of the forum is to come in and read as much as you feel okay with - and then leave any reply you feel is helpful - you might do two one day - miss a day - catch up doing three - and you are giving the best of yourself

I am glad you are getting some respite - that is a good idea - I could use some myself - but I think I will weather the weather - I have lasted this long and I had a few days in respite place a few years ago when I had a blood clot in my lung and it was clearing up and they didn't want me to go home but I wasn't ill enough to be in hospital -

And the Respite place was clean and new and pretty large with rooms a person could live in I guess - but I wanted to go home even though the hospital was paying for it - i was unhappy - but I think the fault was in the facility - so it seems to me to get along with all my toys and books and cat at home - and fly off in a plane when I want a holiday

But I wish the best for you - make the best of it - I will be interested in how you go

So I still haven't got my new computer - I will see what the weather is like tomorrow - we had a bad wind and rain storm here on Saturday night - and then a lovely day yesterday and I woke with a severe back ache and my dd had a headache so we missed coffee - and I did not feel it was a good day to go out and walk around a shopping mall - and my computer must have responded to my checking out and updating last night - and behaved itself today

You have been struglling for the last little while - and so - make the best of your time in Respite - and give yourself time to recover

Good luck with it all Teej and Decadian. Getting a new computer is a pain in the A.

Re: Night Shift

Hmm was replying to somone mentioning a presciption drug and an as good as legal one and this got slammed .. oh ok here's the rest. this is all a bit institutionalised.. Dr saw yest said was on script just realised wasn't there
I'm like Big Ears and Noddy when they went to town on the Golliwogs after accidentally swapping groceries. Big stoush. Food everywhere.. They decided they'd been robbed by them.. Can still picture the book, can't find it on Net, cos Net knows best, just like fave Uncle Scrooge comics I searched for. Like they never existed...

Hi @Former-Member

I knew they would accept you for your respite admission, that is great news. Btw thank for thinking of me for tomorrow and my marathon appointments.

How did you go today?

I'm a feeling a bit better today, it was nice sunny day here. I took my dog for a long walk, I had some fun out in the sunshine.
