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, @Former-Member, @Shaz51 @Former-Member, @utopia, @Former-Member @Former-Member @Appleblossom, @Kurra @TAB, @kdoll @Decadian and anyone else around.

Ive been laying a bit low this week, having a really off week. I think my hormones are out of whack again. I've been really negative and self loathing so stayed away to help keep everyone else sane and not take you on my roller coaster again.

We are experiencing another severe weather event here, it looks like the next few hours will tell where the storm goes. So far so good but am kind of expecting to loose power again. It was kind of ok last night with all the candles. I'm not so worried where I live but unable to contact my son at the moment to see how they're going. I don't think they've had power yet since yesterday so his phone won't be charged. Thinking of you @Former-Member. I'm not sure which part you are in but hope everything is ok where you are.

I'm finding I can do a couple of posts and I'm kind of out of steam just lately but I'm hoping that will change. Kind of keeping up where people are at, emphasis on kind of. I hope you are all travelling ok. Stay safe and warm everyone who is experiencing the bad weather 💜😊💐🤗

Re: Night Shift

Totally understand @Former-Member 💕
I have days like that, find it hard to be positive and prefer not to whinge on here. Although today I've done a good job of whinging.
Feel free to chat even when you feel down @Former-Member. If it helps, that is. 💜
Some days I can't join in on here, so I understand.
Rain here today. Supposed to be a storm tonight. ☔☁🌈

Wedding fittings - nice @Faith-and-Hope 😊

Nice to relax and watch a midday movie @Shaz51 Not often anything good on. 😊

Confession time. I watch, Home and Away. Haha! 😂 I'm going off this time to watch it. 😀💗
Does anyone else watch it? I know it's silly, but it started as, my time to sit. I never sit through it though. I'll try to tonight. I'll get my cuppa now. 😀

Hi @Former-Member

And every one else in SA - I hope you can weather the second storm approaching - I have seen the weather system on TV and on the National Radar System - wow - I am glad I don't live in Adelaide right now

I guess I can safely say we are all thinking of you in such a bad physical place and hormones - as well - is this the dreaded "change" approaching - or upon you

Personally I chose HRT - it's not for everyone - but I do remember melting and itching - my mother was scary - she would run around the house opening all the doors and windows and letting the screaming icy winds of winter tear through the house blaming it on us -

Yes - hormones - they do hit us in an unfair way - I hope your body and your weather settle - at least having two thing not good at the same time gets it all over quicker

Not good enough - I know

I will be watching the weather though sometimes we get Adelaide's weather here - not always

Hi again @Former-Member

Good to hear from you. And glad to hear you are feeling better and relaxed too. I'm a bit better too.

I just went and send my niece a present for her two little girls (Amelia and Olivia). My niece is having a baby next Thursday.

And I just went out for coffee this afternoon and I also did a bit of a grocery shop.

No, I don't autoimmune problems.
