Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor

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.

Re: Night Shift

Hi Everyone,

@Mazarita......it's good to see you. You are often on my mind like everyone else here.

I've been ill because I've eaten a lot of sugar in the past week and jeepers, it's been a nightmore in my body.

I need to get better by tomorrow because I'm seeing Doctors and going to the Doctor.

On Friday, Im going to someone's home to give him support for the morning. Him and his parents......

If yu give support you get it. Has anyone else seen a change in their lives since joining Sane Forums ?

Hi @Shaz51

I am okay atm thanks - the weather is not quite as cold and we have had some sunny moments

About those foils - I am thinking about having some purple streaks - I don't like the pepper and salt in the back of my hair - when I have these great natural white steaks at the front

But I am still waiting and thinking etc

And I wish you the best with your foils

And I love your profile pic - beautiful bird -

I am hoping that things pick up for you - @Shaz51

Re: Night Shift

Gee @Shaz51

That is a handful - I know - my dd has 3 stepchildren - two are married and between them have 7 children

Which makes me a great grandmother 7 times over

I love all of them - they are wonderful people - wonderful children - and I see them at Christmas

There is a wonderful sense of privacy just being here alone - I wonder what it would be like having them here all the time though - it could be - would be - an entirely different scenario

All the best with the steps @Shaz51
