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.

Great to hear your sons are helping you @Former-Member. I'm sure they helped accumulate some of that stuff!

Hi @BlueBay 😊

Thanks everyone ❤️ I am about to see if I can weasel D3 out of bed for some breakfast. She doesn't have to be at school till the middle of the day - exam week - so there is some hope .... maybe .....

@Former-Member - I know just what you mean about accumulating stuff ❣

@Former-Member - great sense of humour, and great to see you playing a bit 😊 We all need that ❣

@Mazarita - great to hear you have been getting to your cooking classes, even tho it's so taxing on you, and I hope the hydrotherapy does your feet and legs some good today. Loved the music clips you put together for @PeppiPatty 's poetry. It must be very rewarding work ❣

@eth - I'm excited about your trip, and I'm not even the one going ...... would love to hear about it when you get back, and hope you have a great time ❣

Hi @comet - I think you're floating around here too somewhere 😊

Have I missed anyone ?

🌷

Re: Night Shift

I find cooking for one pretty boring too - I lost my appetite for a few days and I need to get to the Super Market - I eat a lot of salad but it is pointless to buy much when I can't be bothered eating it

So a diet of fruit, nuts and yoghurt isn't too bad - after all - it is pointless to eat when we are not hungry

But we have a good sandwich shop about 100 yards from here - and I think I will buy a sammie for lunch for a few days - and get that salad habit moving again

We have to feed the machine properly - I have fallen into bad habits since last week

And I used to cook so much - for other people - I would cook anything healthy

And - I used to make icecream with cream, and condensed milk and powdered milk - ah - it was gone in minutes - never buy condensed milk if you can't be trusted with it (he he)

Final post before I pull my finger out and shower - yes shower! - and go to the old house. Morning @comet I hope your day is a good one. I've been outside this morning throwing the ball for my dog, having my coffee and posting here. It's dry and the weathers not so bad. It's helped to lift my spirits as I woke up grumpy. Anyway I hope you're well and your day is kind to you. 😊💜

have a good day all😊💜

Re: Night Shift

I'm with you @Decadian. Lost my way with food lately - and shopping. Whatever gets us through is a good option I reckon😊💜

Hi @Mazarita we seem to keep being on here at different times the last couple of nights. Hope your day goes really well and hydrotherapy happens.
