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.

Glad you are getting out @Former-Member to holiday movies.

Lovely to see you @Jacques Renovator King ... cheers ...

Yes @Shaz51I went looking for @PeppiPatty in the Carers forum ... but I think she had too many lollies and went off line

Hi to everyone else who posts here .... new and old ... @Former-Member @Former-Member and the indefatiguable @Faith-and-Hope

I had a busy week shifting my focus more to writing ... but still doing music ... and a lot of sleeping.

Hi @PeppiPatty

thanks for the shout out Saltana bran friend😀

I would loooove to own purple ugg boots. Sounds like a thoughtful friend with good taste. 💜💜💜💜💜💜

I have a busy week with my son and his girlfriend working on doing up the garage to move in. It has been bricked in but needs flooring and gyprocking the walls and curtains etc. I t will be strange having so many in the house again and I think I'm looking forward to it but I guess I'll miss some personal space too as they are both studying and spend a lot of time home. I hope you have a good week. Would love to see some more of your art at any stage. Be well and best wishes for hubby and Arlo too😊💜

Hi @Appleblossom It sounds like you've been keeping busy and creative as always. Thanks for the shoutout. Wishing you the best for the new week.

@PeppiPatty I've also sugared up over the last few days after almost completely giving it up 😔 with eating half a block of chocolate last night, but I absolutely loved it😄🤔

Re: Night Shift

Fantastic that the kids are helping you with the garage conversion.

I am learning to set boundaries with my adult inhouse child, which helps me get things done that I want. I am not sure what it will look like for you ... there will be a settling as it is a new place and the jobs and expectations need to be worked out ...

Hope you can get space for you too ...

Re: Night Shift

You might not have such a problem with personal space @Former-Member ..... if they are anything like mine, they will stay in their new baby-dragon cave most of the time while they are at home, and only come out at feeding time .... 😆

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @Appleblossom. I just hope the room turns out alright, as in liveable. My son is not a handyman at all,much more of a professor, but his girlfriend is a little Dynamo so I am quietly confident it will get done in time for them to move in. They have two weeks before Uni starts again.

Hey @Faith-and-Hope how has your weekend been? Does your mayhem start back tomorrow with routines?

Re: Night Shift

@Faith-and-Hope I'm not sure about these two where they will 'live' . She is setting up her art studio out there too so I'm guessing that will give her her space. My son will probably study in the dining room and live in the kitchen, he's 6ft 1 eating machine😝. It's when my other son gets back from overseas I'll know what lack of personal space is. He was always under my feet even as a 20 year old. BUT I do miss him and we are really close and can talk about anything and have much in common. 😊💜. My baby dragons tend to stay in their room from 14 to 18 and then emerge again.
