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.

Re: Night Shift

Good job @Mazarita ❣

That's so impressive 😏 Do keep at it !!

I am eating fruit salad and thinking of you, in fact all who are in the tropics ... This is called "Sunshine Fruit Salad" and it's based on tropical fruit, which costs a ton where I am, but maybe not for you. See if you like it -

Half a small Paw-paw

1 cup Pineapple (can be tinned but better fresh)

Half a rockmelon

3 Kiwi Fruit

1 Mango (can be tinned but better fresh)

Passionfruit to taste (I use it from a jar)

I cut some banana into the serving bowl ahead of eating it, but the rest will last a good week in the fridge, on hand anytime. Just dice it all into chunks and toss lightly.

❤️

Re: Night Shift

Sounds delish, @Faith-and-Hope. It's even getting chilly at night where I am in the sub-tropics.

@plasmo, hi, yep, awake here. Maybe not for much longer. How are you tonight?

Re: Night Shift

@Mazarita i'm ok, obsessing though.

Re: Night Shift

@plasmo, what gets you obsessed (if it helps to talk about it). Anything to distract you from it? I guess being here might help.
