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

This morning was complete 🌵 @Shaz51 ..... D3's graduation status was "borderline" last week .... then she spent all day on Friday saying she was going to school, then not getting ready till the school day was over .... same again on Monday ..... school counsellor says she's giving HER grey hair !! .... so D3 swears she is going to put in a complete school day today .... leaves me sitting in the car waiting for her till 12:00 !!

I really don't know how this is going to turn out .... waiting for them to tell her they just can't accommodate her graduation .... with bl**dy three weeks to go !!

She has been working on assignments at home, but I don't know whether it's enough to get her over the bar .... 😁😖😓

So .... I left D2 home with S2 .... and stayed out for the resr of the day .... having a coffee before school pick up .... thinking about not picking D3 up .... then she would still be there for the school start tomorrow .... right ??

Re: Night Shift

Pretty much just had a huge dummy spit today @Faith-and-Hope. Pretty sure you experience them regularly. I will get over it. I'm only just beginning to realise that although it's not fantastic it's not the end of the world. Been a bit wobbly in places with wanting to fall back into old ways but should make it through without too much damage. Thinking its morning coffee time. I'm really sorry you've had such a frustrating day as well. Fingers crossed it gets better for both of us tomorrow, and everyone else, thinking @Kurra too 💜😊

Re: Night Shift

Thanks for your thoughts @Former-Member <br>I did manage to get through the day. I was rather wobbly on the way home and felt like collapsing in a heap but decided against it. <br><br>I've now worked out the base cause of the problem apart from the unreasonable behaviour of a team member. I've allowed my own expectations of how someone should behave to control my reactions. Tomorrow I shall endeavour to cast those expectations aside ans simply mind my own business and accept what is. <br>Take care 💕
