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

Taking an after-the-rain walk with my late afternoon cheat ... 😊 .... but it's still overcast so will lose light faster tonight ...

So peaceful , hardly a ripple on the river .... a few birds starting to settle ....

Threw a dinner into the oven to cook itself ....

Piano music in my ears ....

Just finding a moment .....

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member

Families! - it's true - I read something about being the first child in the family - a whole book dedicated actually - and the brand new parents with their first child are determined to overcome their own parents "mistakes" and do it right this time - and even Queen Victoria found that children will do what they will - and it can be very distressing

My Dad was the first born too - and he made a point of treating me differently to the other kids - I had priviledges and responsibilites above theirs - and I learned to be responsible young - but for all the good parts of this - I was undermined by my mother - and for years I felt - I was - ostracised

The weather was beautiful here today - but I got cold without my heater on - my unit tends to get cold - but maybe tomorrow I will get my new computer - we can hope so

I am proud to have a person who has been so courageous with their little collection of goodies as you have been - you might feel a bit nervy having done that - I think I would - but it's a good thing

Re: Night Shift

@Decadian I hope that my messages last night didn't make you feel upset. And I hope they didn't cause anyone else to feel upset.

I just had some devastating news approx 1 hour ago, but I won't depress anyone on here with it.

Just saying "hi".
