Night Shift

Hi @plasmo, I'm still here for a little while if you want to talk more about what's on your mind.

Hi hi. Anyone else awake?

Hi @eth 😏

If you found me on the other thread, I reckon you'll find me here too 💜

Hi @Faith-and-Hope Morning sunshine 🙂

Where I saw your comment that I referred to was on "My beautiful boy" which I am still thinking of my answer to. It was a very moving conversation. Sometimes when a thread really brings a lot up for me I sit with it for hours or overnight before making a comment.

Hoping you day is beginning happily and smoothly. When I had my kid still at home I used to take great solace in the times when they were sleeping - that was my 'me time'.

Hiya 😊

Yeah, I used to settle into housework once I had put the kids to bed, cos all the pressure was off to get things done. Hubby was / is a workaholic, so he wasn't home, and I could just potter about, cleaning up and putting things back in order on autopilot. My mind could unpack the day and put my thoughts and emotions in order along the way.

I got that from my mum. She used to pick up the broom after dinner, and sweep the floors. She hated doing dishes tho. She used to just stack them in the sink, squirt in the dishwashing liquid, run in the hot water, and just "leave them to soak". Trouble with that was they would still be soaking in the same water up to 24 hours later 😆 We used to have to fish them out of the then-murky dishwater and wash them up to use them.

Look at that !! All these years later, I have just realised she was actually getting us to wash the dishes for her, and none of us ever realised 😂😂😂 Smart woman, she was !!! ❤️

Hi @Kurra

@So glad you like it 😊

I think I have altered it enough that it doesn't cause any sort of copyright issue, and it is very small if you use it as your avatar. I would feel honoured 💗

I inverted the colours. It was on a white background, so changing it to a negative image took all the coloutprs to their opposite sin the process. Then I. Worked into the edges with a deep blue to create a halo effect.

i don't know if you can read it in the tiny image, but the words down the side read - "live, laugh and love".
