Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor

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

sending you hugs and strength @Mazarita, i know how daunting some people find the dentist. i hope you can manage to enjoy the rest of your day tomorrow.

Hello everyone, i am just popping in to check up on how every one is and to make sure you don't forget me 🙂

i have been sick with a bladder infection the past 4 days. i am on anti biotics now and am slowly recovering. spent the past 3 days sleeping, so i feel well rested.

i hope everyone is coping ok, i am sad to see @PeppiPatty is not around so much 😞

anyway, just wanting to send everyone a hug and hope this week treats you all well.

Take care my SANE Family.

Jacques

Re: Night Shift

Hey @Jacques, great to see you!

Sorry to hear you have been down with an infection. I know that kind of thing really hurts when I've had it. I hope it hasn't been too painful for you. Rest is probably the best thing to have done, along with the antibiotics. Great to hear you feel well rested for a change. I think @PeppiPatty may be busy with family and also working to pay for her psychotherapist but I too miss her more regular presence.

Thanks again for dropping in. Hugs back to you!

I think I'll log off and try to wind down to sleep off the computer. Thanks again for the chat tonight everyone. Wishing everyone a peaceful time over this night.

Re: Night Shift

Hey @Jacques Great to see you popping by. Hope infection improves. They can be painful. Yep rest and water and remember yoghurt after the antibiotics are done .. so you replenish your good bug flora in your tum.

@Mazarita Dentist is awful for ro-ot canal type things ... but we do get more stoic about is as we age... as you say in the broader scheme of things ... Take care and Good Luck

Tomorrow we are having bacon and eggs. I have one student and I need to make arrangements for a few practical things... and the usual.

Like @Former-Member I am a potterer.

@eth You also get notifications of any threads you have expressed interest in without a mention .. and often it doesnt work .. eg when computer is slow only basics work
