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

Goodnight @eth and @Shaz51, chat again soon.

@Decadian Yes, I can imagine it's very cold down your way. I actually looked into moving down on the Peninsula this year, as I am finding our summers too hot. Then I saw how cold it gets down there and I'm not sure I would cope with such cold weather. I heard that wind wind blows right through you. I hope it warms up for you soon. Goodnight

Looking forward to hearing how your party went @Faith-and-Hope, what costume you ended up wearing etc. I bet you are feeling very tired, so will hear tomorrow, if you feel up to it.

Good on you for going for a walk @TAB. Did it help you feel better? I often feel better after a walk, when I go in winter, but I don't go out walking in summer, lol. I hide from the sun, lol, tooooooo hot. Winter sun is nice though.

@Former-Member yes, made body feel better, well it's a process lol I used to walk a lot and a lot more often. Trick in summer is get it out of the way early re walks ,,says me who's only just starting again

Re: Night Shift

Really hot and humid early mornings too @TAB, plus I'm not a morning person at all, lol. In summer it doesn't get cool to walk at all, to be honest, even late afternoons are humid. I spend alot of time at home with the airconditioner on, or go somewhere where there is air conditioning. I will find a different type of exercise when summer arrives, where there is airconditioning, lol.

A step at a time, at least you made the effort and went for a walk.

Re: Night Shift

Re: Night Shift

Hi @eth Good to see you.

I just had a cleaning spree and am putting feet up.

@Mazarita Do what you have to do.

After knitting I got into tapestries and cross stitch ... I found it soothing to work with colours in a simple repetitive way but not to have to think too hard. Looking at fish tanks too ... lol ... boring can be tranquil ...

Re: Night Shift

Hi to you too @Appleblossom. Good on you for the cleaning spree. I was meant to have an inspection here 2 weeks ago which was postponed with 10 minutes notice so shouldn't have to do much to be ready for it next Monday. I'm a champion at 'spot cleaning' and awful about the bigger jobs.
