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

Short answer - good.

Long answer -

Just home from a school event with D3. She had a great time .... dropped all the school anxiety for one night and really let her hair down. She was just one of the crowd, instead of the bird with the broken wing .... ❣

D2 hung out with married big bro (S1) and wife (d.i.l.) for the night, donned her onesie and watched movies with take-away Chinese .... all good there ❣

D1 was out and about with her fiancé and family, came home really late, so she was letting her hair down too ❣

WH is back home later this week. He's pretty stable at the moment, but still on borrowed time.

I think tonight has been a good healing time for D1 - 3 ...... fresh wind in their sails ........ 😊

Re: Night Shift

@plasmo I figured I was letting you practise on me .. cos you had to endure long raves elsewhere.

its a fine art .. not to be too abrupt or too revealing .. or too rambling but be real

I obviously havent mastered the "how not to be revealing" ... but I never wear diaphonous negligees

@Faith-and-Hope Actually that rings a bell I might have asked before .. sorry memory like a sieve these days

Glad you are good.

One fella from writers group walked past me too .. and asked how I was .. but didnt care ... I was glad I could say "good" curt and short ... but it doesnt make for community
