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.

Morning all. Well, contrast to last week, I'm up and ready to go at 7.20am. Bed made, washing from last week put away, fresh clean and glam from yesterday's challenge. Sending chirpy vibes to all for today!

Good morning @Mazarita. That sounds great ❣

Good morning @Snuchu, if you're still up.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope, what have you got on for today? I think I read you might go for a walk. How's the weather looking. Still softly raining here but I'm getting picked up to go to the women's group so all good.

A couple of hours behind you over here ......... I haven't gotten up and looked out the window yet, but its forecast to be raining on and off most of the day, and a top of 18. I can't hear any rain at the moment, but it's still dark outside, current temp 12 deg.

Brrrrr !! Think I will be staying put for the moment !

I hope you have a wonderful time with the women's group ........

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope. Sometimes I forget the time difference. I think it's three hours so I don't blame you for staying in bed! You are probably in a really sleepy and dreamy state while I'm chirping in your ear. Hope you have a good one today too. 🙂

Not dreamy or sleepy at the moment ....... I think I just had about 8 hours of unbroken sleep ...... still in shock really ........ lol

D3 had a melt-down at me last night - backwash from the stresses of the last few weeks uncorking obviously - and I banished myself to another part of the house until she had cooled off again. Quite the tempest she was !! I swear that girl should have been born with red hair !!! We should all have been born with red hair prob'ly 😆 .......

So all that sleep was likely to have been my body playing catch-up, and now I'm ready to get up and go, but not in this cold ...... gonna stay here and snuggle down a bit !!

Have a great day Maz 😊. There is something about getting ducks in a row that gives us a buzz, isn't there ? But I find it has to happen on our own terms. I like to make my bed as a platform to start the day, and I find I need to wipe down bench tops and clear a good amount of bench space before I can cook, but I try not to give myself any "have-tos" if I can help it. Maybe there have been too many have-tos to get us this far, and I have spent all mine ...... dunno ....... but just goin' with the flow of that anyway ❣

Hugs 🌷

Re: Night Shift

Yeah, I'm still awake, @Faith-and-Hope, I just got back from work. I got that over with, and I'm proud of doing that without being grumpy or something like that. 🙂

I'm planning to eat a bit then try to sleep, even though it's only 3 pm.
