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

I have a cold, i'm sick and wish i could just cry! 😞 instead i will keep my grown up pants on and keep it together to get the kids to settle! hopeing they go to sleep soon! (just gone to bed).

I have made a cuppa and focussing on the warmth of that in my hands. It's been a long day but nothing major happened.. still alot of work to do. books to mark and lessons to prep.

How is everyone else?

Re: Night Shift

I sure will @Shaz51
There's been a bit of unpleasantness at work so I'll be glad to het away from that for a bit.
Supervisor wanted to talk to me today. That went pretty well and I'm certainly not in the poo.
There's just some inappropriate and disrespectful behaviour from someone towards me and other employees.
I took Friday off because I stupidly got distressed by it all. I'm fine now but I suspect the next few days will be rather icy as in attitude.

Hi @Former-Member

I'm feeling really sorry you have a cold because I seem to have one too

It's a really crappy way to feel - we can commiserate - we can feel sorry for each other

Maybe others can chip in with their colds or whatever - and the amount of caring can shoot upwards and onwards exponentially

May we all feel better soon

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @Decadian

I really hope that you're feeling better soon too. Yes i guess we can just comiserate together, but just helps being 'with' others.

@Shaz51 and @Former-Member

Thanks - it feels so isolating to be the only person suffering - ah yes - my doctor was kind and told me to go back and see him if I feel worse - this is going around - why do I feel better - or collectively why do we feel better - when we find out that other people have the dreaded lurgie as well?

I guess that's a rhetorical question?

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @Former-Member

I am sorry you had the dreaded lurgie last week -

The back of winter has broken - I am sure - that's because I went and bought 3 pairs of fleecy trousers about 10 days ago - and now the weather is mild it is a pity to be sick and waste good warm-weather-time

Hi @Former-Member, @Decadian, @Former-Member, @Shaz51, @Kurra and @Former-Member. And hi to anyone floating around I haven't spotted yet. 💜😊

Sorry to hear of your winter bugs @Former-Member, @Decadian🤒😪. Wishing you both a speedy recovery. It kind of seems cruel now the sun is out to come down with it but maybe it's good the sun is out to help you get over it too (glass half empty/full)

i hope you enjoy your time off @Kurra, really pleased there are no ramifications for you re work scenario.

@Former-Member. I hope your day was good. I read you went for a walk so I hope the rest of the day treated you well.

im really tired and feeling a little confused from my therapy today but nothing major, just my brain trying to make sense of things. About to make history and head off to bed early I think. Didn't cope so well today being overtired so need to try to rectify it. This week seems to be flying by already.

take care everyone, sending healing vibes to those not well 💜😊
