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

Oh me oh my ' the curse of Sunday night! As a precursor to Monday and another week of work it's far from my favourite time n the week. OK I've stopped whinging now.

Hope you all have a relaxed and productive one. ✅💡✔🎶

Re: Night Shift

Ahh @Kurra I'm afraid you haven't even come close to perfecting the art of whinging. It's something you don't put 100% into😝😂 Its probably something I can teach you though😜😊 I hope you week goes well, it's looking a lot better than last week💜😊

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member
I can whinge big time but it's not worth the effort. No one listens!
I'm planning on a good week although it will probably be a case of what will be, will be. I should hear about where I'll be working next this week. As long as I have a job I don't care too much. 💕💜💕

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Faith-and-Hope,

how are you? How's your day been?

Im holding my own today, even feel half human. Managed to even do a few things at home that could have resembled housework and just walked away after seeing my parents feeling ok and almost in control. Have no idea right now why I go up and down and round and round. Let's just record this now for prosperity's sake shall we😳🤔

Re: Night Shift

Make sure you let us know at the end of the week when you know @Kurra. In the meantime it's probably good to do some feel good things ( that's probably some cliched advice sorry as I haven't mastered any feel good things yet but we can only try) 💜😊

think im in a rambling mood😳😛

Re: Night Shift

☺ @Kurra I've felt much the same!
I had to walk alone this afternoon with dog, and try really hard to get back to independent, aloof, fierce strength place I know...I've been loosing it. Again.
Don't like that feeling, racing thought connected with.
P.s. love your music notes..:ok_hand:

Re: Night Shift

Sounds good @Former-Member ... 😊👍🏼

My day has been good. S1 came over for lunch and it was good to see him.

We needed an early lunch, and WH suggested buying something in .... 😳 .... and he ate with us .... 😳😯 ... cos D1 had to leave quickly after lunch ....

We still had to make WH's salad ... but he ate take-away roasted beef from IGA instead of having to have his everyday pork prepared .... mind you, that's what he eats, or a steak, or equivalent when we go out to eat somewhere .... but this was bringing in .... as in flexibility !!!

Had coffee this morning before church with the twins, who came with me to church ...

Vegging a bit now .... resting up ahead of a big week. The kids are too .... all in their rooms .... D3 working on a Maths assignment without complaining .... 😳😯 .... she might even be enjoying it !! She seems to have realised how much she achieved this last week and is believing that she can get through it.

The tide had to start turning sometime soon ....

🌷💕
