Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor

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 @Shaz51

How am I tonight ?

I'm gonna re-post the image you sent us last week on this thread ...

It's pure gold ❣

Everything is as in-place as its gonna be for the moment, so I am going to "down tools" a bit for the weekend and just coast as much as possible.

Take care of you too ❤️❤️

Nooooooooooo@Shaz

You do not need trouble with your gall bladder - you do not

Have you been having headaches in you tummy or headaches?

Any pain is giving us a message but on-going pain can drag us down

Thinking of you

Re: Night Shift

@Appleblossom, take good care in any absence you may need from the forum. We've had a long time exchanging messages here and I will be thinking of you during this challenging time.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Mazarita how was your day?

@Decadian I've been thinking about you ever since your post about the Royal Commission you were involved in. No wonder you are such a font of wisdom and strength.

Re: Night Shift

Hey @eth, everyone. I have lazy tagging fingers tonight, hope you'll forgive the 'everyone'.

Just woke up from a couple of hours sleep. After much matchsticking of eyes for a couple of hours, I fell asleep in the chair while dinner was being cooked and didn't make it to the eating part. Day was pretty good aside from my naughty nap. Dentist this morning for a proper teeth clean. Not my favorite treatment as I have sensitive teeth and gums so there was a lot of jerking around going on in the chair. But afterwards I couldn't stop smiling in the mirror, hehe. Support worker came today. We are down to visits every two weeks now, which indicates that I've made progress in my time with her. We went for a beach walk together and I unpacked things since we last met, the appointments I've missed, the ones I've made, with some talk about Buddhism and what's going on with her along the way. Partner had his ultrasound for his 'men's trouble' today but they gave him no indication of anything they might or might not have seen, so the wait continues for any news there until his GP visit on Monday (postponing the worries as much as possible, the pair of us). That's about it so far.

Hope you have been finding bright moments throughout this day.

Re: Night Shift

@Mazarita That was a big day. And you had a broken night before it too. No wonder you crashed out early tonight. I like your philosophy of postponing the worries. Hoping your partner gets good news on Monday.

Oh no not the gallbladder, mine turned out to be heart! I get my work clearance to go back on Monday.

Re: Night Shift

@eth, yes, we are both hoping for good news. I love @Faith-and-Hope's lemon and honey offering to you, whether it's art that is 'found' or not. Please keep posting the art! Glad to hear you are getting that some lemon and honey in real life too, @eth. Hope health picks up for you really quickly and that the upped med dose levels out fast too.
