Night Shift

@Former-Member

Its a bit unclear the picture- I got the picture a long time ago, I think from facebook

I do live on the coast and I want to spend a bit more time down at the beach....

@Former-Member

Thats so nice to think of me today, I was thinking of you too 🙂

Yes that is me- (beachie picture in my room)

I have cuddly staffy asleep beside me now.

@Former-Member

I hope you get to the coast soon, a bit cold in Sydney atm

I do love to get to Sydney too, I was down their last year and probably go down again this year or earlier next year. I just need to get myself sorted first.

My tenterfield terrier is beside me too right now, under the covers keeping my feet worm. Surprised he can breathe down there lol. Think winter affects most people, less active, less sunshine. Do you know if you have low Vit-D levels (cause of winter blues / seasonal affective disorder, SAD). I just take a supplement anyway these days, helps with bone & immune system too.,

My staffy goes under the covers too, but I only let her under their for a little bit, I am scared she will have problems breathing etc. I agree- winter does affect how we feel and our overall well-being. I actually been getting it monitored & checked, and its higher then what it was last year- my vitamin D was on the low side.

And apparently as we age its harder for the body to absorb the vitamin D through our skin esp on the arms you tend absorb it better through your legs and abdomen. There are many benefits of vitamin D and one is depression and also like you mentioned bones and immune system.

Its good that you are getting sleepy, I am meant to go to the gym again tomorrow because on Monday I have specialist appointment with my nephrologist. I'm still contemplating going into hospital because I don't have much support and I really feel I need that extra support atm.

My cat wants to have a conversation with me when we go to bed - of course - I don't know what she is saying and I copy her meows and yips and chirrips - and I don't know what I'm saying - but we understand each other perfectly - and she bats my hand if I stop before she's ready

On cold nights she gets under the doona - I like this - I can feel this warm little body near mine and it's pleasant - she can get herself out when she's ready - cats are more independent that way

But sometimes I forget where she is - it can be quite a surprise for both of us -

[btw - she can take up my whole queen bed - and she is a small cat - and she has three different beds in the house - but mine is the one she likes best

Hi @etherial2

I was awake during the night so I got on-line for a while

I have new shoes - sneakers - and they were fitted so they are really made for my sort of feet - and on Friday and yesterday I took walks - and I wanted to take walks - and I was tired last night and went to bed early - but woke up

Having the right sort of shoes is important for walking - my old shoes weren't that cheap but they were wrong for me - arthritis -

And this thread runs all day and all night - people use it as a go-to thread and post on it whenever and we pretty well discuss anything

So - welcome to the forum - every one is really kind and pleasant here - it's a great place to be
