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

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope. I've been feeling a bit insecure about this all day. How did the art competition go?

Re: Night Shift

Submitting tomorrow @Former-Member, then I have to wait a week to see if my work has been accepted .....

I'm trying not to think about it too much, and just go with the fact that I am giving it a go. I have the artistic ability ..... it just comes down to whether it has the "it" factor they are looking for.

It's worth it for the experience, and if the piece is accepted it will be on display in their gallery for a while.

If not, it will be shipped back to the west in a fortnight's time.

I've got butterflies ......

Re: Night Shift

@Faith-and-Hope. Good luck. Hopefully they'll see the 'it' factor in it. It seems a fantastic opportunity. Crossing my fingers (and toes) for you😊💜🙏🏆🏅🎨

Another typical post. Pick a word to overuse. Today's winner - massive, as well as all the other words I frequently overuse. Feeling self conscious 😁

Read back through some of my posts @Former-Member, and see all my "words of the day" 😂

Then stop feeling self-conscious pleeeeeaaaassssee ❣. We are writing in the moment, and not editing over it all (until up you see some amazing Spellcheck "corrections" 😂

Or some amazing late-night typos 😂

S'okay ...... nothing beats Bug Tea, right ?

Re: Night Shift

Yeah but bug tea became such an endearing thing. We all wanted a cup😊 @Faith-and-Hope.

Re: Night Shift

Think I've had the strangest day. Been beating myself up over so many things. Think I could do with an in real life hug😔

Re: Night Shift

Close your eyes, and pretend your dog is me while I send you a virtual hug, and hug that pup of yours back ❣
