Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor

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

Should be really good for you to go camping @Snuchu.

Have some peaceful times when you get home.

I have to go skype with my kids. Catch you in a while perhaps.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @eth, have a wonderful time away. Hope its all you hope for and then some! Hello @Snuchu, great to hear you are feeling so much better. Am really pleased for you, and you have a camping trip to look forward to. Excellent. Hello @shaz, sorry to hear you and hubby are laid up in bed with the flu. Rest up, drink plenty of fluids and I hope you both recover quickly. Hi @Former-Member. Am happy for you that you're nearly done with the old house and that you are in a better place mentally. Glad that you have made some plans. Really am happy for you. (Hope you got your toilet seat on OK). Weeding can be therapeutic. Hope it goes OK. Wishing everyone a lovely day. May you find peace and enjoyment. Kind wishes to you all.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @eth @Shaz51 @Snuchu @Former-Member and anyone else who is around ☀️

I am just passing through to say good morning. Gotta get D1 into that art studio at school today, and her heart is not in it at all. Serious self-bribery required here I think !

And I told her off yesterday for serving up some attitude to the art teacher, who has been pressured into bending D1's way and supporting her thru the completion of this overdue art project .........

Cranky art teacher, cranky D1 = not a fun rest of the week !!

Up and on with it. We will have to make it fun ❣

Wish me luck ....

@eth I hope you have a wonderful time away and get to recharge your emotional batteries (not takin' those neighbours with you, right ?? 😊). It's exciting, but maybe you will get to doze a bit somewhere in the day.

@Shaz51 and hubby - get well soon ❣

@Snuchu good to hear you are feeling much better and on the way home.💌
