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

Hmm - long day. Boy oh boy! Big cities are noisy and sooo many people. Nevertheless it's been a very productive day with a lot of good networking.
The hotel isn't exactly flash but it is student accommodation. A bit of a downer though when the bloke in the shop insisted on giving me a senior concession for the Myki card. I don't feel that old! Guess I am chronologically but........ hey I'm just a spring chicken.
Love to all 💕💕

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Kurra. It was good to read this morning things have come back to a better normal for you and that you are travelling both literally and metaphorically well. Glad you've got something out of your trip. By the way I feel the same still in my mind re age. I forget the years are passing until I move or do my back or neck then come back to reality with a thump. Take care. 💜😊

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member I remember my mum telling me that she felt 17. She was the ripe old age of 92 at the time. Age is more about our own attitude. I know a 39 year old that is more like someone in their 80s.

The eyes are closinģ. Sleep well tonight everyone 💕

Re: Night Shift

hi @Kurra lovely to see you.

I had the opposite problem re age .. where I always had too much responsibility on shoulders ... so by the time I was 40 I felt and looked 80 ... but it wasnt attitude .. not everything is attitude .. it was physical exhaustion and overwork ... even dressed that way ... now I feel ... and dress more my age ... one of the nicer ladies at church encouraged me to dress better ... in a nice way ... not patronising ... I think I freaked them out with my opshop fashion ...

Tonight my son chose "Orange the New Black" ... the norty boy blaaardy finished House of Cards on his own ... in his room Whaaaaaa ... I said I felt left out ... WHaaaaaa ... poor me.

I loved O the N B" ... first episode made me feel right at home ... I started off new in 3 dorms in the homes ... know those newbie scenes well ... used to a lot of tough talk ... not sure how much rubbed off.

Tho never reeeally broke the lore ..that much ... just flirted with it ... too much a softie or goody 2 shoes ...so lucky no gaol
