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

Hi all,

i survived my day and got an early minute to come home YAY. It was freezing cold, just trying to thaw out - couldn't feel my toes for half the day. It was better than expected as my ex didn't show up YAY, so I wasn't as quite on edge. My boys had a pretty good game although the eldest one came off injured ( groin) and they both won YAY. I hope you are all having ok days. It appears to be the case from what I've read, hopefully everyone is ok. Sending hugs to all 😊💜

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @comet your sounding like you've had a pretty good day, you appear cheery😊. I hope that is right, please correct me if I'm assuming wrong. My assumptions often get me in trouble😬. What's been happening for you today apart from overloading on tea and coffee😄

Re: Night Shift

Yes @Former-Member. Am cheery now..oh not much, posted a few posts, perused the papers, listened to footy on radio, played with the cat...not terribly productive. Stayed indoors, coldest day of the year here....17 max. Am very happy you had a good day!

Re: Night Shift

Oh what I would have done for 17 degrees 😄 @comet, it was less than half that where I was, probably our coldest day too. Think I'm turning into a wuss as I get older. Do you follow current affairs in the papers. I was just catching up on the Brexit news, really interesting. My brother lives in London and he has been posting a few things on Facebook too.

Hopefully your team won footy ( is that why the good mood😄?). Not sure if you're like the males I know where footy results can make or break your day. I was the same for a while. I couldn't cope if my team had a close game and lost or just played badly. I'd have wild mood swings 😁 so now I just don't really watch anymore, much easier for me to stay sane.

i took my dog with me and he had a big run. He went crazy as he has been cooped up with me for so long now. I really must try to make that a priority.

so happy you are feeling good. Sending hugs😊💜

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member. News & current affairs are my speciality...bit of a passion. Oh, what does your brother say about it.? Personally, I think they are mad (if I'm allowed to say that). It will have huge ramifications..,..No I don't even have a team as such, just like the radio commentary team...teej that is way too cold to be outside! Glad you took the pooch with you...he would of loved it!. There is a dog across the road from me that never, ever gets taken for a walk even...I feel so bad for the poor thing...

Re: Night Shift

@comet My brother and I share the same opinion as you. I think it's going to cause much more harm for those who voted for it than they ever imagined.

I was taking my dog everyday for exercise even if just throwing the ball in the park. Since Ive moved I kind of collapsed into a hole. He goes everywhere with me so he's not so bored but needs more exercise than he gets. He comes in the car whenever I take my son to school or pick him up from anywhere. He is pretty much attached to me 24/7. I hate it when you see dogs just trapped in a yard their whole life especially when they don't even get to go inside with their owners at all too. The dog next door is like that too.

It probably helps with your sanity not to have a team😄

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member. I can tell you are a good dog owner......my cat, seriously, gets more exercise that said poor dog, cramped up in yard barking at whoever it can see, including my cat......I gave up being fanatical about football at a fairly young age. A good game of football is a good game of football...do you support the demons?
