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

Thanks @Former-Member 😀
How's your day been? Been up to much?
I have lasagne in the oven. Using last night's meat sauce, makes dinner easy.
I find organizing dinner every night quite stressful. Usually my tired time. Trying to cook something yummy, different and healthy every night isn't always easy. 😯
I went for a big walk and feel a bit better. Having my daughter gets me motivated to walk most evenings lately. Only in winter though while it's cooler.
Helps me de stress a bit and get rid of the anger and upset I had. Grrrr! Family, even when I don't see them. I still manage to hear stuff I don't want to.
I am looking after my mother's finances and my sibling is ripping her off. My mother is too soft sometimes. Life has made me a bit of a fighter, fight for what's right, I mean. I NEVER used to confront but have learnt to, to survive. Never used to stand up for myself either.
I'm raviagain, haha! Better get the lasagne out of the oven. What's for your Dinner Teej? 😊💗

Re: Night Shift

Hey @Former-Member @Former-Member

Was just answering a thread to @sadgirl, so I have done a bit of copy and paste over here cos it's the same answer really ....

I walked to the river this morning, and there were my fin-babies, 🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬, five big Dolphins splashing around having their breakfast and blowing out of their blowholes .... they are so powerful and playful ❣ Everybody stops walking and watches them, and people chat to each other about them .... it's really nice.

Then I caught up with a couple of mum's from my kid's schools who I see every now and then. They go walking together, but one has a leg injury at the moment, and the other has just lost her fur-baby ....

Then the specialists office called and said they could fit my Dad in on a cancellation .... he has had problems with his ears, losing his hearing quite suddenly, and the doctor who saw him didn't like the look of it, so we have been quite worried .... but he had to get past his knee surgery before we could get to sorting his ear .... turns out it's a fungal infection, so the specialist cleaned out his ear and he can hear again !! A couple of weeks on antibiotics should see him right ....

I took him out for coffee to celebrate and get him out of the house for a bit longer ....

Just home now, but I am having a cheat dinner at home tonight. I cooked up a big lot of vegies yesterday, so I picked up some hot roasted meat and gravy on my way home to go with it .... got my feet up for a while.

Love the avatar @Former-Member 😊

Sounds like ice you got through yesterday okay @Former-Member .....
