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.

My darling @ENKELI

I think I'm like this too. I haven't gotten back into my craft for about a year now.

So tired.

Unmotivated.

The only joy is taking Peanut for walks.

I got second hand some dollshouse table and chairs

 

 

Some sheets I got for 50.00

Re: Night Shift

Im glad you still enjoying taking Peanuts (i assume your dog?) out for a walk @PeppyPatti 😊.

Low motivation days are a drag. 😒

I like your miniature/dollhouse furniture! I see them for sale or on display sometimes and I just love looking at them. So small and detailed 😍.

@AlwaysMyself thanks lovely, I'm watching TV for now before I get ready to settle in for the night.

My GP says it's to do with adjusting to new diabetes meds but I don't know.

How are you going tonight? 🫂

Re: Night Shift

@PeppyPatti I love miniature stuff. I have a bunch of stuff that I collected but it's all in a box for now. I love how you've displayed your little dining suite. Good deal on the sheets too xo

Hi @AlwaysMyself I only need 1/4. very strong.

Re: Night Shift

@TAB rich? Bwa ha ha not by any stretch of imagination! I bought my house nearly 30 years ago, and refinanced 3 years in as the bank I was with was awful. So next July is the official end of mortgage but I will be paying it out shortly as I have been given some $$ from my brother.I only have about 9 grand left to pay.

I am getting plenty of sleep, I am normally asleep by 11pm and may not get out of bed before 11am. My anti-psychotics have the wonderful side effect of causing sleepiness so it's definitely not lack of sleep.

I should be cleaning up the house in preparation for some repairs to be done but I look at the clutter and just sigh because I lack energy.

I really, really really hope it is caused by the diabetes and once I've been on the medication for a while I'll be better.

Fortunately I have a med certificate for C'link, the job coach I had was pretty full on and kept making me apply for jobs I knew weren't suitable. Praying that by the time the certificate expires I'll either be in a job or feeling better about applying for one.

Cookies? I take it we're not talking shortbread or chocolate right?! 😆

I hope your week has been good to you, how's your job situation going these days?

How's your moggie? Mine is curled up.at my feet. I'm too scared to move lest he protest!!
