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

Hi @Faith-and-Hope....

Thank you for thinking of me - I struggled yesterday & couldn't push myself to go to yoga - I got to yoga easily today & enjoyed the practice.... I did manage to go out for coffee with my partner & watered the garden yesterday. It is raining today, so I don't have to water the garden today! I will try to weed the garden after it stops raining - I did half of it after it rained last time. It is much easier when the ground is moist!

@Jacques - I'm glad the virtual hugs help you & I do care about you! I don't have the emotional energy to participate in the forums much at the moment, but I do care people - especially @Shaz51, @Mazarita, @Faith-and-Hope, @Kurra, @Appleblossom, @PeppiPatty, @Jacques, @NikNik, @CherryBomb - sorry if I forgot someone!

My partner has made coleslaw - yum, yum...

Be well,

Namaste,

Anna

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Shaz51

Just a quick hello before doing housekeeping stuff all day. I didn't get up for church again........if I go I'm completely wasted for the whole day.....

I've got a week of full on cleaning week this week......going to different places almost every day. My client tomorrow is a young 33 year old and she and I speak about her staying safe and not meeting people and telling them that she sees a Psychiatrist.

We discuss that Perth is a very small place and her refreshing openess might bite her on the bum one day.

For instance: in the future, she might tell someone she sees a Psychiatrist and a year later she might go for a job and the person she told might be interviewing her.

We discuss wha she wants to do when her 21/2 year old boy gets older and she pays me with meals. She has a themomix and she makes me and my husband YUMMY meals !

Did you say @Billamba is here? Hi @Billamba how is Tasmania going ? How are you ?

I wonder where my darling friend @Loopy is these days too ?

Re: Night Shift

That's really nice you can support your client this way @Peppi Patty.
Unfortunately the world isn't kind in this respect.
