Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor23 Sept 2015, 4:13 am AEST

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 @plasmo I had to go to the chemist for my neighbour and pick up some meds her husband needed urgently, then a late-ish tea, then a good chat with my brother on the phone (he's a long way away as are all my family).

How are your evenings?

Re: Night Shift

That's no good @plasmo. Sleep messes us around so much.

Re: Night Shift

You've had a busier day than me @eth. I've had a toilet catastrophe. I got my 19 yr old to try and take of the old seat. He used brut force which was working until he thought it was wise to get a hammer and tried to hammer the fitting through. Yep you guessed it - he took a chunk of porcelain off. We went to the hardware store and now have glued it back but I have no toilet seat yet until it sets😵😳 Luckily I'm learning to go with the flow. Years ago I would have ripped into him but luckily it's Monday and I've made a pact with myself to let go of this stuff.
