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.

Your welcome @Former-Member. It was a great day :).

Sunshine equals happiness!

I don't think you ever stop worrying about your kids but glad he won today.

I will just try to keep busy before my appointment and just spoke to a friend and she is keen to hang out Tuesday and come to my appointment with me.

I just had a easy dinner tonight crumb chicken and salad. I hope, I sleep well too tonight.

I feel for you @Former-Member and @Shaz51. Don't forget to meet your own needs too as you support them.

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @Former-Member

I am sure I shall recover - I think we all get sick of winter at times - it has been very gloomy here today with heavy rain in the afternoon

I recovered from the allergies - but yes - I am really tired - I just can't seem to get my act together

Dinner was fine but I didn't have any appetite - I don't think there is anything seriously wrong but being tired

But thanks -

Decadian

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Shaz51 Sorry to hear about your cousin. Life "sucks" sometimes, especially when things like that happen to nice people.

Have you had a nice day? Is it still raining up your way? It's been a mixture of weather here today, raining then sunny. Managed to get the clothes washed and hung. We have a place to hang clothes that is covered. I always hang the washing there, as the weather is always unpredictable. They say Melbourne has 4 seasons in one day, I think here does too.

Re: Night Shift

Does your cousin live nearby @Shaz51?

In response to: Re: Night Shift

Re: Night Shift

. I'm in Queensland as well -- I didn`t know that @Former-Member

and my cousin lives 2 hours away

I had to put the washing in the dryer, I don`t like doing that all the time , but sometimes it can`t be helped

Re: Night Shift

I read that you didn't sleep well last night @Decadian I hope you do tonight.

You must live in a cold area. It gets very hot and humid here and summer seems never ending, so I really love our winters. They don't get very cold. Our house gets very cold though. It's gets colder inside, but we have a fireplace, which is really lovely to have on. Makes the house very cosy.

Re: Night Shift

Thanks again @eth. I'm not being a good support at all at the moment. I live too far away from both of my friends, unfortunately.

How's your day been?
