Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor23 Sept 2015, 4:13 am AEST

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, misty rain sounds like it would be kind of nice if you had a raincoat on. Too hot up here pretty much all year round to wear them though. I tend to wait for clear weather to go out walking. I think we are getting heavy rain again this weekend so will be an indoorsy time.

Re: Night Shift

@plasmo, I do too, feel a lot of impatience and agitation in myself a lot really, buzzy type of person inside though it's not apparent on the surface for the most part. I'm hoping to do some work on music projects over the weekend to release some of that energy.

Re: Night Shift

@Mazarita and @plasmo, how are you guys? I just finished with my nurse and I'm sorely disappointed, because she had to leave before my occupational therapist was finished assessing me, so we didn't talk about my treatment / rehab options. 😕

Re: Night Shift

Sorry @plasmo but computer is clunky and slow and I buzzed off and was a hurricane in the kitchen .. made pancake mix, did dishes, mopped floor, did clothes washing, chatted to son, even cleaned mirror and cleared a few old bits in garage .. as in to use up ... stuff before it gets past use date ...

@Faith-and-Hope I was telling computer to hurry up .. and just chiming in with the plab

@eth wow your break sounds lovely and exhuasting . but good exhausting

I had an idea about starting up a munchies thread .. but then thought as it is an Australian site maybe it could be an Indigenous word ... do you know any words ... for snack?

@Mazarita In maz land ... luv it

@Snuchu Giddai gorgeous
