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

@Former-Member - take bed to the cuppa ......
Wrap yourself up in your doona and hop to the kitchen and back ....... 😊

If you have a thermos, you could take a bed-picnic wack to your room with you 🌷

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, you're a sweety. kinda 1/2 kidding. Just surfaced, checked temp 10° inside, 8° out. Fed hungry pup, heated my magic soup & cuppa. Watching dvd 'Seachange' - my escape.
You still cleaning?

Re: Night Shift

Hi all,
I hope this morning/afternoon finds everyone ok. Not sure what it's like anywhere else but the weather here today is better and it helps so much.

@comet Thanks for your good wishes and kind thoughts this morning. I've had my appointment and she has helped put me back together for now. Will catch up later, I hope your day is going ok😊💜
@eth Thinking of you and wondering how your appointment went. Sending best wishes😊💜

@Faith-and-Hope wondering if you have a baby dragon elixir? In desperate need of some. Alcohol at 7am is not going to cut it when I have to drive after ( I haven't done either but the thought has crossed my mind more than once). I really hope your weekend went well and would love to hear about it if you want to share. I hope you get some respite this week. 😊💜
@Decadian Sorrry I haven't responded to your posts but was struggling a bit. I've read them and it sounds like the travel plans are well under control. I hope Centrelink helps you sort your issue out. That whole process is likely to cause anyone a MI let alone aggravate anyone with one. Let me know how you went 😊💜

@Mazarita noticed you've been quiet and I'm really hoping that's because you are taking some time out for you and that you are ok. When you're ready I'd love an update on how you are going too😊💜

@Kurra I know you've just started the beginning of another busy week. I hope you are travelling well and have been thinking of you😊💜

@Appleblossom Great to still see you around the place. I read many of your posts and am always astounded at your insight into things. I hope today finds you feeling ok😊💜

@Former-Member Really glad to see things going ok at the moment. Love the train too. Thanks for your support the other night when I spat my dummy too. It didn't go unnoticed.

@BlueBay. Thinking of you and hoping the next few weeks fly for you. 😊💜

@PeppiPatty sorry to hear your life is a bit rough at the moment but love your attitude towards everything. Really glad you have your lovely Arlo by your side all the time. 😊💜

@Snuchu I hope everything is ok😊💜

@plasmo sorry I haven't joined in when you've been on in the last few days. I really was just in my own world. 😊💜

@Jacques I know I'm fairly new here but wanted to say that you seem like a very caring and thoughtful person. I wish you all the best😊💜

Sending hugs to eveyone😊💜

Please not have let me forget anyone🙏

Re: Night Shift

Omg. Yes I did there are likely to be amendments all day

@ Flower I hope this morning finds you ok in the start to another work week. I've been thinking of you and hoping things are better than the end of last week. 😊💜

Re: Night Shift

Great stuff Teej - you do well

my case worker is helping me with the PDF documents - yes - we could all get the screaming willies - people are already battling when they need Centrelink -

That is a fantastic run-down for everyone

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @Decadian. There is always such a huge risk doing it though because I always forget someone and I hate that part. I never want to leave anyone out. Really glad you are sorting that out I kind of felt a bit hopeless the other day not being able to help. I hope today is going ok😊💜
