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.

Hi @eth and @Faith-and-Hope. My day has gone ok. It was beautiful here today.
How were your days?

Re: Night Shift

Mine has been okay @eth. Still pottering around putting things into better order in the house just slowly - straightening up mainly.

Off to the airport shortly to pick up my husband and his mother. The kids are all coming, which I am pleased about.

I have got a roast in the oven so we will be returning to nice aromas 🙂

How are things going with you ?

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope I cleaned my kitchen this morning then had a friend over for a few hours (the man I've been seeing for years now). That was very nice. Then this afternoon I've just had a very quiet time here at home in my empty nest.

Re: Night Shift

I endured being at football for 7 hours but glad I got to see my third son play. I've hardly seen him this year. It's such a long time though😏

Re: Night Shift

That sounds lovely @eth. I miss that kind of company. It's always good to have a clean kitchen. You must be on the same page as Silenus.

I forgot tonight you get your husband back. I'm so glad the kids are coming with you. Crossing my fingers it's a joyful reunion @Faith-and-Hope

Re: Night Shift

@Faith-and-Hope have a wonderful reunion.

@Former-Member I'm definitely not anywhere near as good as @Silenus when it comes to cleaning. I just have to play catch up when I'm expecting a visitor.

Re: Night Shift

@eth I've been on my own now for 3yrs in August. I think it would be great to have someone that you get along with for regular company. I'm a long way from that currently but hopefully one day.

Re: Night Shift

You are not the only one @eth. Problem is I'd have to invite someone over to play catch up😜
