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.

Dear @Decadian

Community Guide just means a few people who 'guide' people around the forums when they first come online. And remind people to read the community rules.

How are you?

I am just about to hop off onto work for the day and not see my darlinghusband. My youngest son is ill and it's a little stressful for me, he asked us to pick him up from work. It was really hard to drop him off home where there was about 5-6 lovely young men lounging around in a very messy home. Lots of mess.....

Nice friends but it's hard to say, remember men that son needs regular asproclear and call me if he needs to go to hospital.

Walk away....

See you when I get back.

Can you please and @Faith-and-Hope please comment on a rose I'm drawing for a client who is ill ??

I havent finished it yet.......

Thanks :0)

PP.

Thanks @PeppiPatty

That makes sense - we could use Community Guides - there are people who are not used to using various aspects of the internet and websites yet - we all need a bit of a leg-up at times

It must be really hard to leave your son with these nice young men who don't really "get it" yet - it seems simple enough to make sure his as his asprin or be aware that he needs to go to hospital. It is so hard leaving our kids to care for themselves -

I am recovered from the really severe sinusitis now - it took a week to recover my appetite - and I was sleeping a lot - really worn out from constant hard nose breathing and constant nose blowing - really fighting the complaint - it was nothing like a cold

And of course I was rattling from the extra pills I was taking

My gd had a 12yo molar out yesterday - blessed like the rest of us with big teeth from Dad's family and a jaw not nearly big enough

And my cat has to see the vet next week to have her teeth looked at - she is losing weight and she is too small to lose it - she might have to have her teeth scaled under a GA - this is not something I want to happen - poor little cat - she is looking half-starved but she is one spoilt little girl

After 3 weeks of things being really quiet - everything is starting to happen again - Great!! - except fgor the cat's teeth
