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

So happy for your son @Faith-and-Hope It's great that he's settled in uni.

Must be hard for you watching your daughter go through such tough times. As a mum it hurts watching our kids suffer. I hope things start to improve for her, so she can graduate.

You certainly have alot going on in your life.

I hope you get to go on your trip tomorrow @Shaz51.

Had left over lamb roast tonight @TAB

Hi to anyone else on here tonigt.

I was naughty and stopped off at the shop tonight (after dropping my daughter and friend off at youth). I needed a treat, so I'vd been eating chips, a lovely carrot cake and Earl Grey Tea. Sort of watching TV with the cat, lol. Well, she's not watching, the poor old thing is losing her eyesight.

Re: Night Shift

That's good news @Former-Member, going out for coffee with a friend. I need to get my act together and make some new friends. Hopefully I'll feel up to it soon. How was your outing?

Not naughty at all @Former-Member

Sounds wonderful - a Friday night treat and why not??

After living on vegetable soup for several days I have bought a lot of vegies to steam this week - and I might make more soup

So - I feel the need for a treat and after I ate the streamed vegies - I have already eaten a whole punnet of raspberries

Re: Night Shift

Hehe! @Decadian Naughty for me. I've been trying to eat healthy, so that I will feel better, but we all need a treat sometimes. Plus, I've not been feeling so great anyway, so why not.

I usually try and bake something healthy, with wholemeal flour, but arrived home too late to bake anything. Gets a bit boring eating your own cooking/baking anyway. I might make beef and vegie soup tomorrow. Just remembered I have rump steak to use up.

Are you feeling any better @Decadian? Now I need to refresh my memory. Did you used to be a teacher and you play instruments? Trying to remember who did what and who does what?

It was leg lamb roast @TAB. I much preferred the chips and carrot cake. Due for another cuppa now. Sitting on my own here. House feels so empty with my girl on camp for the weekend.

Re: Night Shift

Hmm! Friends made out of play dough, but they won't talk back @TAB, lol. I don't like talking to myself. I used to make playdough often, when working in child care. Some of the kids would try to eat it, lol, but they discovered that it had too much salt in it.
