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.

Hi @Former-Member 🌷🌹🌸🌻🌼🌺

How has your week been? I read somewhere that you started voluntary work at an animal park. How is that going? 💕

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member

How are you this evening? I hope you and all the other people are well

I am feeling better than I have for over a week - it's a bit on the late side but I have decided to get in touch with people

It turns out of have had a nasty ulcer in my left nostril - and sinusitis -

And the antibiotics seem to have started working already - great stuff - and some special ointment for the horrible sore in my nose - worth registering that one

And it is warm this evening

Hi @Former-Member I was trying to get to say hi before but got caught up with all the serious stuff as I tend to do. I saw you had an unsuccessful day shopping 😱 I can't believe you came home with nothing either.....not even a scarf. 😝 💜😊

Hi @Former-Member hope you are feeling a bit better than the other night💜😊

hey @Decadian good to see you too. I'm really sorry you've had such a horrid time being sick. Glad you are on the mend💜😊

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @Former-Member

I have been feeling really terrible and not really sure what it was because although I wrote that I had a cold it did not feel like a cold - I mean - this affliction only seemed to be in one nostril - weird - but I am feeling quite different this evening

Everyone had great ideas - I had my home remedies - one of my favourites is honey and lemon - we have a great lemon tree here in these units and I got some honey and boiled a little water and it was wondeful drinking that from time to time - in fact the home remedies kept me busy -

So tomorrow is a new day - and AND - my computer finally opened a PDF document - I have won that one

And also - my dd and sil came up and did my garden - and my niece sent up a couple of small sentimentally precious items - a little sailing ship in a box that I gave Dad for Father's Day 2005 some little ceramic houses I had bought my mother many years ago - and I never thought I would see these again - I nearly cried when I got these things back after all these years - the little houses would date back to when I was working in the city - mid 1960s

This was special - I have wondered what happened to many things in my mother's house - for the best part I will probably always wonder -

But the week did have some good parts

Re: Night Shift

Well done for Pilate stretches @Former-Member. I'm ok now thanks. Just having a chatty night on the forum covering pretty much everything. I hope you have a lovely weekend 💜😊. Maybe next time with the shopping 😊

Re: Night Shift

Oh wow @Decadian. You have had an up and down week. Thinks it's definately worth a Wohoo for opening up the pdf 🎉👏🎊🎈🎺💐. I know that's caused you so much frustration for a while. And that's lovely to hear you had some sentimental items returned. dd sounds like a blessing. It's wonderful to hear you have this support. I hope the rest of the infection clears up quickly now you're on to it. Rest and take care @Decadian 💜😊💐

Re: Night Shift

Hi again,

I'm a bit anxious this evening but still doing well @Decadian.

Glad to hear you are feeling better today then over the past week- hopefully the antibiotics will help make you feel better too. Its a nice warm evening here too.

How is your new computer going? Did u get a laptop?

I'm trying to push through my anxiety and just focus on one activity at a time or problem it seems to work for me. I have a tendency to over do things.

Hope you are having a nice evening..

Re: Night Shift

Thanks for your message @Former-Member

My week as been a bit up and down because of my poor sleep but I slept much better last nite, which I think helped with my mood & anxiety.

My volunteer work went really well on Wednesday and they said they are very happy with me. I am enjoying this role and looking forward to meeting new people and making some new friends along the way.

I just have to keep moving forward and doing what I have been doing. How as your week been?

In response to: Re: Night Shift

Re: Night Shift

Hi again @Former-Member Yes I have had a reduction in my anxiety levels which is always good

Did I mention my car got towed Wednesday night?

I'm picking my car up 2morrow morning I can't wait to get it back.

How was your day?
