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

Thanks @Former-Member. No problem, I find it tricky keeping up with latest comments posted too. I had a nightmare last night 😞. I wake & my heart hurts all over again. I'm just going to go quiet today. I know saying no to a few plans will upset my partner..I guess they trigger me off. I really hope my MIL had written me off for a while. I'm not up for superficial, and the monarchy family deal. You rest.Absolutely..I feel bad sending you too much...gosh I know how 'too much' feels..love & kind thoughts ❤🌹

Re: Night Shift

Good morning @Former-Member 😊

Three degrees is cold ....

Can you rug up in front of the heater, then take a hot drink (coffee ?) out to the car with you, and drink it there while the car heater warms you up a bit more ? Have a warm-up-the-car-picnic in the car, with the kids ?

Just a thought ....

I hope the day is kind to you 💕

Hi again @Former-Member

Great to hear from you.

Not good weather here today so my walk as been postponed until the weekend. I'm glad to say I am quite a bit better then I was this time last week. Hopefully by the end of next month all my results should be available. I hope you are starting on your upward climb too and also resting up in there too.

I'm not sure what I will be up to tomorrow but planning on going to the movies on Saturday and most likely will be walking on Sunday. I've just came from the post office, as I have just posted up a present for my niece, she turned two today and plus its my mum's b'day too.

Hope you have a great evening. Take Care

Re: Night Shift

Hello everyone. How has everyone's day been?

Thanks for your message @Decadian Yes, I should make an appointment. I have been putting it off for a long time now. Years ago I had to have biopsies and I am avoiding that. They didn't numb me enough and kept poking around in there and it was an awful experience. But I know I have to go back.

I have been to the doctors alot for other things and the lump gets forgotten about. I have 6 monthly skin checks, plus often have BCCs cut out. I always seem to be at the doctor for something. So that's my excuse for putting it off, but putting it off doesn't help anxiety either.

How have you been feeling lately? Bit chilly today, but I like it for a change as it gets so hot and humid here. Had my hair cut and foiled this afternoon and I better see what's for dinner soon. Hopefully I can talk myself into going for a walk before dark.

I noticed your "good morning" message @TAB I'm late, so I'll say good afternoon instead. How was your day? What did you study at university?

How are you feeling today @Faith-and-Hope I noticed you didn't get much sleep last night, did you have a sleep today? Was your dinner outing nice?

Hi @Former-Member How have you been? and How are you @Former-Member and anyone else on here.

Re: Night Shift

Roast sounds nice @TAB We've been having alot of lamb roast lately. I didn't answer on the other post, because I find it hard typing on too many posts.

@Former-Member Thinking of you, how was your day?

@Former-Member Did you get enough sleep last night? You mentioned that you had to go to work this morning. Where do you work? If you don't mind me asking. xo

Heading off for a walk now, might get back on later.
