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 @Silenus

I feel a bit naughty taking much credit for these VFPIP (Virtual Finger Painting into an Imported Photo) "paintings". The app I drop them into allows me to "paint" my own choices of colour into the photo, using virtual paintbrushes, markers, pens, nibs, etc, but they stil resemble the original photos quite closely.

The tree, and red rose I posted earlier on this thread are a different story. They are my paintings, both done in acrylic on paper.

I'm glad you like them though. The kids and I are highly visual people, and colours and images are an aesthetic we enjoy very much. Happy to share them around 😊 Please let me know if I'm over-doing it tho. Might not be everyone's "cup of lemon tea" ...

Hugs are welcome anytime ! Thanx

Re: Night Shift

Much better tonight thanks @Shaz51

The headache that started on Wednesday evening and went on and off and back again finally left this morning

That's a lot better - We had torrents of rain here in Melbourne yesterday - a most unpleasant day - dark and gloomy

Today the weather was great

Re: Night Shift

That`s good @Decadian, having headaches all the time is not good

I have been having, I think it might be my gallbadder playing up

Re: Night Shift

This a bit of a Hi and G'night.
I've had a long day intense computer stuff of taking and working with images that have to be nigh on perfect. As a result I have to keep on picking my eyeballs up from my knees and putting them back in their sockets. It's amazingly rewarding work but very tiring. Ever the mystery woman I really can't give any more information about this type of work

Sorry to hear quite a number of you are dealing with tough times. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Stand tall and plod on with pig-headed determination.
Hoping the sandman visits you all with a night of relaxing and healing sleep xx
