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.

Re: Night Shift

@plasmo, do you take long walks sometimes? I miss my days of being able to do that. With any luck the problems in my legs will be treatable and I might be able to get into it again. Really helps keep spirits up if I can do that.

@Snuchu, I used to like dying my hair different colours when I was younger too and had it cut really short for most of my twenties and into my thirties. It was mauve at one point but that was a bit of a mistake, lol. I had it half blonde and half black at one point, that was pretty cool. These days I go blonde all over as it's the best colour to cover grey without showing up the line of regrowth a lot when that starts to happen, hehe. I've also let my hair grown long as I've got older. I look like a bit of an old hippy chick now really. Hope you enjoy your hair appointment and that the nurse gets back to you with good timing after that.

Long and greying hair here - no apologies ...... it goes with my Boho style, right ? Looks a bit 🌵 on the day I wash it, but a set of heat rollers sorts it out well enough. I get "likes" on it all the time, probably because it's unusual on someone my age now, and it surprises people that it can look okay .....

It's been really busy on Night Shift tonight, but it's been happy too ..... ❣

Hope everyone gets some quality sleep tonight - long or short - and nice dreams, like, ice creams 😊

I did get to my massage today (thanks to everyone who asked) and the lovely lass tried hard to iron out all the knots in my back !! She must have managed it with some if them, cos I am feeling better for it, but I must remember to keep drinking lots of water now .....

Re: Night Shift

I just checked in cause as tired as I thought I was I'm not sleeping yet. Had to laugh @Faith-and-Hope and @Mazarita. I have long hair down to the small of my back too. If I put a pointy hat on I don't have to dress up for Halloween, although it's brown (well still more brown than grey) not black😝

Thanks for your nice comments @Former-Member. I've realised I missed 3 people so far I needed to add agggh. Anyway I'd like to hear how your going now you've had a few days to recover. When do you get your results back?

Re: Night Shift

I really want to see the picture @Faith-and-Hope but it's taking a while to come through. For some reason the pictures seen to take ages to load. Not sure if other experience the same. Your post made me giggle especially the cactus part😄
