Night Shift

That is spot on @PeppiPatty, i could not have said it better myself, i like the term horizontal identification, it is so true, i all aspects of life, we are attracted to people like ourselves and people who want to be like us.

Go Anne, it is all about being respectful and positive, one thing i have learned through years of arguing with a neighbour, is it always ends in a no-win situation with both parties, the key is to avoid toxic people and surround yourself with healthy people.

if we can get positive outcomes from our friends we are happier and more responsive to others needs. i suppose it is a give and take thing?

It's already gone 2016 in the southern states so now seemed a good time to wish everyone at Night Shift a wonderful new year. Thanks to everyone who joined in this discussion in 2015. Your company, sharing and wisdom is inspiring in an ongoing way.

There was um....fireworks down the street..me an Arlo was snuggly asleep in bed.........oops.....

Dear @Jacques

You too...thank you so much for thinking of me.......

Im listening to Smooth FM...a Sydney based radio...like this station very much.....

Second of January and it's also the second day that partner and I have (as agreed) had no green stuff in the flat. I've napped a few times today and done virtually nothing. For some odd reason, I've noticed that I get more tired, bored and unmotivated without it. I thought it was supposed to be the other way around? It's probably a symptom of withdrawal, I guess.

In any case, the absence of green is also making a difference to the amount of tobacco I smoke generally through the day. Paradoxically, it's a lot less! Came in at 7 yesterday (that's 5 under the psychologist's current target for me), and it's shaping up way under target again today.

So... feeling really tired, bored and unmotivated, but celebrating anyway because of a sudden improvement in my attempts to give up smoking.

Wondering what everyone else is up to on this quiet second day of the new year.
