Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor

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 @Former-Member

Party went really well on Saturday .... I think we got the balance right for S2 who is really quite shy .... but came out of his shell when he found we had done the garage up in his taste of props, and hired in a juke box with his type of music available ....

I ended up going as a 50's movie star ... will keep some anonymity over which one .... 😏

Tired now, but another ✅ achieved in a bit year ....

Its good to hear you chatting with everyone here and keeping up with your news.

Hi @eth ... if you're about ....

We have had a lot going on, but are making our way through the hurdles by degrees ....

Good to see you here again as your energy permits.

Hi @Mazarita

Missing your franjapanis ....

Be well ....

💜

Re: Night Shift

Yes, it's better to think about other things. No point worrying about things we can't change. @TAB 😀

Great to hear the party went well, @Faith-and-Hope. Sounds great, jukebox etc, would have loved to have been there. 😀
I hope you take it easy this week. 💜

Re: Night Shift

Hard having to work when exhausted. @Shaz51 I don't know how I worked fulltime when I was even more unwell than now. Amazing how we can push ourselves when we have to. Looking back I should have only worked part time. Must look forward though to good things. I guess your hubby will have early night. Do you do all the cooking? I'm the cook here, hehe!

Re: Night Shift

Interesting @TAB..I think army suits people who like being told what to do, click on,clock off..i did reserves for a while, back when I liked being challenged!! Ha,ha...I think my dad liked the sound of it better as opposed to being a cop. Omg can't believe I wanted to do that too. The industry would have swallowed me alive, I was young! Milk thistle must be what your body needs, I'll look it up. Shed some herby light on it!
@Former-Member, I'm feeling ok. 😊..yes I think I'm better at one on one's...depends on my mood, but some groups I just don't belong to! I've always been that way in retrospect. How have you been traveling today?
@Faith-and-Hope, I'm really glad to hear the party went well. Such a big job isn't it?! Your amazing. I was thinking of you, hoping your hubby was ok with it all...I think it's one of those situations you just keep powering on, and on, waiting. It will be a great memory for your son. ❤
@Shaz51, washing days are endless...god it's my middle name..zadie the washing lady!! So glamorous lol

Re: Night Shift

Sounds sensible @Shaz51 No good to push too hard. I need another cuppa. Might head out for walk, just up and down the hill near us, with a torch. Went for walk 10pm the other night, hehe! I don't like to miss too many days without some sort of exercise.
I think/hope it's too cold for snakes to be out at night.
During summer, my girl and I went for a walk at night, because it's too hot in the day. I saw a huge snake in the middle of the road. Oh my gosh! I turned and ran so fast. I didn't know that I could run that fast, haha! We must have looked funny. We laughed when we got home, but I was terrified. 😮😂
I said I'd never walk at night again, but I'm hoping it's still too cold for snakes.
They've been warning us on TV that snakes are around.

Re: Night Shift

er.. @Former-Member ..as people told me afterwards it was probably more about structure, having decisions made for you and having somewhere to 'hang'
