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.

It's taking me a while to get your sense of humour @Former-Member, I can be a bit slow and sometimes need someone to draw me a picture but I'm now giggling😄 I think I'll pick it up a bit quicker now hopefully. 😊

I don't know why I couldn't tag you before @eth. Have you got another busy day? I hope you got some good sleep last night.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member I had another broken night but overall more hours of sleep than I've had for a very long time. Today I have to do grocery shopping and then at the end of the day cook as my man is coming for dinner. Often we just get take-aways but tonight I want to cook his favourite as he's going away again soon and it will be his birthday while he's away.

How are you going with the cleaning and gardening at the old house? Did you find anyone to help you?

Re: Night Shift

Hi @eth,

I think I have my son and his girlfriend coming this afternoon. Yesterday my other son came for about an hour and helped move more stuff. I'm still bringing carloads back. I had no idea I had so much stuff. I moved into that house from the psych ward nearly 3yrs ago with nothing but my clothes. Had to start again with everything so it's amazing how much I've accumulated in that time.

I hope you have a lovely dinner with your man tonight. It sounds lovely. Not long now until your off too. I'll be thinking of you whilst your away hopefully kicking up your heels and having a fabulous time. Enjoy your day.

Re: Night Shift

Good morning All 😊

Yes, "birthday day" here today - actually we prefer to make it "birthday week". One day doesn't ever seem quite enough, and sometimes "birthday day" is not a very good day for the person celebrating, or others in the family for some reason, so "birthday week" is more successful. Yeah, we mess with the rules a bit, but hey, whatever works ..... ❣

Hope you all have a great day, and get to pop something you love into it somewhere.

Hugs ❤️
