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.

Re: Night Shift

Morning @Former-Member 😊

The plan is for for a calm one ... but that's usually the plan, with very hit and miss success in the "calm" department. Often, I just have a day ... as it, enough boxes got ticked to call it a day .... but it's still moving forward. Legs still under us all.

All good 💜

Re: Night Shift

Morning @eth. I have taken some of the positivity from being on this forum and used it to change the way I was thinking about this house. I was so scared and full of fear and anxiety before I moved in but I am feeling calmer now and trying to focus on the good things. How are you today?

Re: Night Shift

I love that attitude @Faith-and-Hope. I hope you have a day that glides through. I don't know how you juggle everything but from what I've read I think you are doing an amazing job. I don't think I would cope with all four of mine back home. One is enough for now. It will be two again early next year when my intrepid traveller returns from overseas.

Re: Night Shift

I've got a spit-fire D3 (as in spitting fire !) here with me at the moment. She has had another screwed up menstrual cycle that has seen her have two "Day 2's" in the one week !!!! Good grief 😳:face_with_rolling_eyes:😞. More time off school at a critical point 😳:face_with_rolling_eyes:😞 but we shall survive it !!! 😜😝😏

I haven't come this far to quit now ❣

Had enough of D3's crap for the moment. She can stink here by herself for a little while, plodding on with her art assignment prep, cos anything encouraging I am trying to bolster her with is just getting shot down in flames.

Going for a nice, hot shower !!

Here's the Phoenix again ....... this one's fir me ❣

Re: Night Shift

Oh @Faith-and-Hope. I hope I didn't jinx you. Hold on - teenage hormones are disgusting and can tear you apart in seconds. Thinking of you😊💜

Re: Night Shift

Hang in there @Faith-and-Hope, you'll get revenge when she pushes out her first 8lb 3oz baby 😄hehe
Did you know teenagers brains are still under construction? so technically, and anatomically, they have cognitive deficit, or less mildly put ' Brain Damaged!' Even without the hormones. Just get through it, keep being merciful, They do grow up one day. You're doing a great job. Good move going out for a while ☕
