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.

Re: Night Shift

hehe! @Former-Member My handbag is messy too. Trouble is I hate mess. I love organization and cleanliness, which doesn't help. I'm forever trying to tidy up, hehe! But end up with a mess.

I loved my earlier life, in primary school. Having the H was great, school was for fun and life was for living. I'd often disappear and worry my mother. Poor lady, now being a mother, I can imagine how worried she must have been. I would get distracted and go off with someone I just met at the corner shop. Gosh! You couldn't do that now. Life was much safer back then. Well, not totally.

High school I lost the "H", unfortunately. Depression, anxiety, PTSD etc. Not so fun anymore.

Have to try to be positive and not go down in a hole though.

@TAB Been filling the dishwasher and usual bedtime routine. Nice dinner you had, coffee and painkillers, hehe! Glad you found the sugar. 😀

Goodnight to you and everyone. I can't believe I'm in bed before 11pm.
Feels like winter tonight, very windy outside.

I'll tidy my bag tomorrow @Former-Member 😂

Sleep well all. 😴😊❤

Re: Night Shift

By the way. My school reports often said, would do well, if she sat still long enough, or if she didn't stare out the window. Haha!😂

College was different though. Time to concentrate and do well. I surprised myself and got my diploma 😊 Not many did, only a few in the college did. Most walked out of one of the exams, too hard. What a waste of going to college. Missed out on a diploma, because of one exam. 😯

Anyway. I must try and sleep. I do like to rave on a bit. 😂

Re: Night Shift

Ahhhhhhhhhhh @Former-Member - I get it - I nearly threw mine away too

And they say not to have a look before the due date - and I can't open PDF docs on this computer - nightmare again

I still haven't got that new computer - I have been feeling okay this week but really tired - dunno why

I guess I will have to go out and get one - I slept late today

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Decadian don't need pdf's. just go to site and do it if you want to get it out of the way. Well, imagining what you would be doing on that date, not that that really matters lol.

just go to their site if you have the logon and do it. That's it.

I did mine tonight

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @TAB

That's good - I am sick of these damn PDFs - but I do need a new computer and I have enough put aside to get one

But yes - they give me the same questions and get the same answers every year - things don't change much - no one here has died - no babies have been born - income has to be about the same - my national inclination is the same - British - I have the same marital status - or rather - lack of it - the only thing that's different is that my age is 5 years older

I suppose - seeing as I live in a set of units and there is a lot of changes in some of the units that people do move around a lot - but I feel they could just ring me up and I could say I still have the same education - don't have a car and there are the same amount of rooms

Can't they just have a short form where I can say nothing much is different? Is that at all interesting?

Maybe it is important that nothing here has changed - I even have the same cat - not that they ask

Pardon my satire - I think that's my limit for today

But thanks for the info
