Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor

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.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope I look forward to having friends over again, planning to make new ones once I feel up to it.

@Bridget

Hope they do too 🙂

Glad to hear you got out and about with your daughter after she finished school. I hope you are able to have some time away with your daughter as much as you can. And I don't have any children.

Perhaps charting a wellness chart mite help you reaching this goal, I am thinking of doing this myself. Because I did that with a sleep chart, and I did well with this by writing down when I went to sleep and woke up etc

I had my dog at the vet today and she got the all clear and most of the day I have just been at home. No I don't think you beeing Nosey at all. I think you are just being friendly and making conversation.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member. Sorry you have bad memories of birthdays past, just read back over that post, didn't see it when I first wished you a good birthday. My good wishes still stand though. Glad you are trying to replace the old with the new better memories. I know I'm finding it heartening to receive birthday wishes on the forum. Went out to dinner tonight with friends and they didn't even remember, lol!! To be fair, the main reason we were getting together is that we haven't seen each other for ages. I just happened to mention it in our messages earlier in the week that it was my birthday this week too. Doesn't really worry me too much that they forgot (well, just a teensy bit, cos I'm a Leo, hehe). Was really a very nice night out anyway. Hugs to you, birthday week sister.

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member, taking some days off the projects at the moment to recover from the last round of intense activity, but meeting up in a couple of days with someone I've collaborated with online recently. She lives about 80kms from here and gets up this way fairly regularly it seems. Looking forward to meeting in person (and nervous too, of course).

Re: Night Shift

A very close friend and musician colleague died a short while ago. He had a very painful form of cancer so I'm glad he's free of pain now.
Yes I'm sad but he lived life to the max and gave so much to so many during his life.
He'll be up there providing non stop entertainment with a cheeky grin plastered all over his face. RIP J
