Night Shift

I'm probably doing the same thing as you @eth. I know I should be going to bed but I'm not tired. I was going to drive myself insane so I came on here. Glad you got to tick some boxes with chores. It always feels good when that happens. I've been running on adrenaline for the last week so I know my crash will come sometime but am making the most of feeling human😊

Hi @Faith-and-Hope, @plasmo, @Former-Member, @eth, anyone else around,

Went to bed before 8pm tonight (an unheard of hour for me), woke once for a short time but went back to sleep again. Just woke up again.

It didn't for a while @Former-Member, and I could feel my energy draining away, but I eventually got D3 to school, into the counsellor's office, and came away.

Took time out for a coffee to try to recover my batteries, and posted a 💜 out by text to a group of close friends .... I didn't want to disturb their day, but knew most of them would send a ❤️ or 🌺 or 🙂 back, as a way of "touching base". They knew me better than I thought !! I got several "are you okay?s" back again very shortly afterwards. Brought me to tears, but it was lovely.

Had to collect S2 from Art class (he got there today - yay !!), then took myself off for a foot massage. My husband is an issue at the moment, and in his emotional absence, I find just the human touch of massage very comforting, like a cuddle, although it might freak the masseuse out to know that 😏

Cooked enough dinner last night for three days, had a shower this morning, actually changed into pj's (!) and have been chillin' in bed all evening. D3 is working away here next to me, a different creature entirely from this morning, thank God !

Have been drawing in my "painting" app and feeling recharged at this end of the day, but tired now in a good way .... Thanks for asking 💗

It sounds like you're getting sorted by degrees. I hope you enjoy that course.

Hi @eth

I hope you have had a good day 🌸

Yes thanks @Faith-and-Hope.

Hi @Mazarita glad to hear you got some sleep. How was your day today?

@plasmo, sounds good. At least you're there and ready for sleep when it arrives.

@eth, made it to ukelele class and it was really a lovely session. Bought my own lovely uke today to celebrate being advanced to intermediate class. Prior to that I had been using a borrowed one. After that was very tired from only 4 hours sleep last night, so afternoon nap. Woke for a few hours, went back to bed again after dinner. I think the effort of cutting back the tobacco is probably making me very tired too. Keeping to my quota of 6 per day for this week though so going okay with that. Practicing the uke a lot is helping.

Good for you @Mazarita rewarding yourself like that. You must love playing your own instrument at last. I seem to remember there's a ukelele festival somewhere like Eumundi every year. Have you been to it? Great that you made it out and achieved your goal for today too.

@eth, great that you got domestics done in readiness for your trip away. It's always a good feeling afterwards. Washing still piling up here, will get to it at some time. I've been to Eumundi but not for the uke festival, it was part of a trip around years ago that included the Woodford Folk Festival.

@Former-Member, thanks for the encouragement. 🙂
