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.

Hi @Former-Member

You are right about birth order - it can be the luck of the draw -

I have a self-worked idea I call "The Chalk and Cheese Result" - the second child is often the opposite of the first - and this happened in my family of origin and my own kids - I think the second child can be challenged by what the first child is obtaining through taking up all the good roles - or makes sure they avoid the pitfalls of the first - - and also

If there is a gap of years between the older children and the last child there is sometimes favouritism toward the family "baby" and place I am glad I was never in - but that's one of the roundabout and swings thing

I shall have to have another look at birth order again

My mother - I had a long cry on Life Line tonight - I know I will never get over it - actually it's more about my toxic sister and how I believe she failed in her duty of care toward our mother - my mother's suffering causes me more pain than my own - I can take on my own scars - somehow I have to allow others to take the consequences of favouritism - and that's my task atm - I am tired of other people's burdens

And I seem to be talking around the edges - maybe I will sort it out better in time -

You are sounding great atm - that is a good thing

Re: Night Shift

I love that drawing @Faith-and-Hope

It seems to have my whole friendly family in it - let's see

I was born under the moon

I have a cat who thinks she's human and is a choc tortie but has two ginger stripes at the end of her tail

My dd had a pair of striped socks like that - although they were three different shades of blue and white she called them her tiger socks - she was three of four at the time

And the sureal cubism of odd things that seem to be together really works for me - ah - that is my mind - so many things happening at once that might seem unrelated but definitely make up a whole

I love it - thanks for posting that

G'night @Decadian

Wishing you sweet dreams of marvellous cats ... 😊

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope

I am off too - before I leave let's see if I can post up something cute

Ah yes - you can see the two stripes at the end of her tail - there is definitely a copyright on her tail

And she has a tat too - in her ear - tells everyone she's a nice kitty who keeps to herself and there are no kittens likely to happen
