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

Hi @Former-Member and @comet and everyone 🙂

I have a stray that has adopted me here, so that is company, he pretty much comes and goes, though, only coming for the home comforts 🙂

They are: food (of course) a warm bed (on the couch) and he has taken to jumping up and putting his paws on my shoulders and smooching 🙂

Sometimes he comes in, smooches for ten or so minutes, and goes out again. 🙂

I still see the critters ..as much as I like, really, but, it hurts so to see the look on their faces when I leave 😞

Re: Night Shift

That's cool about the stray @BlueBells - all the love, none of the responsibility although I suspect you would take that on instantly too😊 Glad you still see your animals😊💜

Re: Night Shift

I'd like to have him neutered, but...I can't have animals in a rental...so, might figure out something. No idea of his age, either.

Responsibility....I've already had him to the vet twice hahaha

Re: Night Shift

Yep @BlueBells I thought you might take on that responsibility. Love it. That's the hardest thing about rentals. I don't get it. I was lucky in my last rental to be able to get my dog. Really lucky now my brother is my landlord and he loves dogs😊

Re: Night Shift

I failed dismally @eth. I did have a pretty busy day but didn't get to my old house😁 I did set up the washing machine and sorted out the laundry and sorted more of the kitchen and drove over an hour to pick my son up but the one job I was meant to do I failed😔 I have until Wednesday to get it cleaned and weed the garden. Wish me luck I think I'm going to need it😜
