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 @Decadian Never too much talk about vegetables! I'm impressed with your green thumb and also love my veges. My vege gardening efforts have been a bit hit and miss. Sometimes I've got totally into it for very little outcome, and other times nature just seems to do her thing. I forgot I'd poked an old potato in the garden bed once, then some months later got a brilliant harvest. Another time I opted to leave an odd looking 'weed', and now I have a pawpaw tree with about a dozen large green pawpaws ripening on it. 🙂

My day hasn't been too bad @Shaz51. My sons team lost their first final and he didn't have a good game today but all is ok. It is still good to do these things and I'm trying to soak it all up again. For the first couple of years I couldn't go and watch him after my breakdown due to triggers and anxiety. This year I haven't missed a game and it's easier but my ex no longer goes which has eased much of the anxiety. Have you much planned for tomorrow?

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member Nice to bump into you again. 🙂 I had quite a reasonable day today, I'm happy to report. Slept in late (bloody meds still not quite tweaked right), then my daughter "invited" me to drive her around looking for costume components for the school dance. It was actually quite nice spending time with her. So nice, in fact, that I didn't balk at following her around Spotlight or paying $9 for a cup of juice, or eating sushi off a conveyor belt. All good clean fun. Lol (Still no costume, of course!)

Re: Night Shift

Just wondering if you can take my dog for a walk when you go @TAB, he's giving me all the hints possible that it's time to go for one but I'm so tired right now. Mind you he's not good with cats, chases them if he gets a chance. Day by day, step by step @TAB. It will get better over time, just don't push it. You sound a bit like me. I kept being told (3 years now) that I only want to know how to run but I have to learn to walk again first, it's finally starting to sink in a little. Every time I jump ahead I fall down face first too, sometimes in :pile_of_poo: which is not cool. But man it's hard when you just want to run😝😜. Take care of you💜😊
