Night Shift

Hi @Mazarita and @Faith-and-Hope how's your day going?

Hi @eth, my day has just started late. Glad to have accumulated enough sleep for now in a few chunks overnight. How is your sleep going, both while you were away and since you've been back?

I'm still sleeping in chunks too @Mazarita, less while I was camping but more since I came back. Can't help wondering how long it will last. But when I am awake at night my energy isn't surging like it had been so I am able to go back to bed fairly soon and am trying not to turn on the computer or the tv, just to see if it works.

Do you have plans for today? I'm having a quiet one at home.

It sounds like you have a new thread. What's it called? Would love to see it.

@Appleblossom to answer you I don't know any of the multiple Aboriginal language words for food but would use the word tucker in a community maybe. Most of them speak multiple languages including kreole, a blend of the local lingo and english and I think the kreole speaker would say tucker or maybe even kai.

@eth, will be interested to see how you go with avoiding the computer at night. Good to hear your energy isn't surging then as much so it won't be as tempting as it still is for me. Later today I am meeting a new friend for coffee at a new cafe a short bus ride away. We've known each other as a friend of a friend for some time now and have come to really like each other. She has bipolar too. Looking forward to that. It's our first get-together without our mutual friend there.

I don't have a new thread but have added some diaristic, inner-reflections to the Writing as Therapy thread. Not sure whether I'll continue with them or not. They tend to reflect some of the darker things I reflect upon fairly regularly. Just good to be able to get them out sometimes.

@Mazarita I didn't try to catch up on all I'd missed with the writing thread as there was so much but will have a look at it today.

Great that you are making a new friend. Hope it goes will for you.

Believe me the computer still calls to me at night but I tell myself to try and sleep first and have been managing to do so.

Hi @Decadian how are you?

@eth, there's only one long one so far on page 42 (at least that's where it is on my computer). There's nothing in it that dark, just probably a few lines at the end. Mostly it's fairly mundane. Whenever you see my writing there in italics, it will be that kind of reflective writing from me. Good on you for resisting the urge to jump on the computer in the night for now, especially since it seems to be working. I may follow your lead and try to do the same for a while too.

I'll have a look for page 42 @Mazarita. Am perusing that thread right now.
