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

Nite @Shaz51

Hi @Queenie I am still up .. havent sorted out my sleep hygeine ... just counting my blessings that I am here and my son had a good day helping a mate with a film. One of the things that keeps me going .. is that I am genuinely interseted in the "life force" what is it that makes us who we are ... I am hopeless socially .. I dont have an instinct for norms ... but still am interested in the world and other people ..

Re: Night Shift

What an amazing game. Both teams played superbly. It's a bummer the Raiders didn't win though. 😭

Hi @Shaz51 💕 and everyone. 😀🌻🌼🌷
Sorry I missed you, @Shaz51. How was your day? You're probably in bed already. I haven't been home long. We drove to the city to shop and there was a festival on, fireworks etc, so decided to stay there for a bit this evening.

Re: Night Shift

Today Kurra has been bad!

Did I only walk for essential reasons?
No I couldn't hack it being so inactive. If anything the longer I remained in bed the more pain I experienced. Instead I took a disabled (mobility and vision) friend to the other side of town so she could do a couple of things and then we had a bite to eat.
When I took her home we stopped at the shops and I bought a pair of lightweight lace up shoes that I can wear at work although I'll still need boot protection for some things. I didn't need that expense. Seriously though my leg is a bit morecomfortable than it was this morning.

Am I going to test tomorrow?
Well sort of. An elderly friend and I are driving out to the central west NSW to see a pseudo castle built at the beginning of the 20th century. It will be approx 5 hr round trip. For me it will almost be as good as going home which was about 3hrs from where we'll be although the tiny town we're going to is where I did a huge amount of my ag. science prac work so home territory in a way.

Ah well. I didn't rest my leg as I was advised but it seems to have improved a bit anyway.

Ever still the larrikin. Do slap me down if I need to be told off.

Heading off to bed to read. Sleep well peeps and tomorrow is going to be a better one for all of us. Kurra has decreed that this will be so. 😉😄😆

Re: Night Shift

You're a dag @Kurra 😊💜 and you would you listen to any of us if we told you off. I don't think so. Thanks for being around, you help cheer me up. As for responding to yours and Appleblossom response in the new thread I started I've chickened out for now but I will respond later. Have a good night
