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.

Goodnight @Former-Member. Sleep well. Looking forward to the pic. I presume it's your beloved staffy. 💜😊😴

Re: Night Shift

Night, @Former-Member. Picture will take a while to come through for us to see but look forward to it. So glad your liquid med is treating you better than it was. Hope you sleep well.

@Former-Member, wow, 4.5 is a fair bit. Cool that it's still long. I wasn't brave enough for that much but it's much neater and also newly re-dyed as of tonight, all ready for tomorrow's meeting. It's also an interview the collaborator is doing for her online mag, and will be having photo taken too. I hate having photos taken but am about as spruced up as I ever get. I might even put on a touch of make up in the morning. (Vanity thy name is Maz). Hope you feel better for your haircut too.

Re: Night Shift

Oh if vanity could see us some days @Mazarita she'd have a fit😜😳. You're a step ahead of me, I just got the cut, no colour yet 😬 My hair must have been almost to my backside but soooo straggly. So yes washing and brushing it won't be so bad now. I really hope it goes well for you tomorrow. The photo bit would be a bit scary for me as I'm not much into having my photo taken.

Hi Teej, tired and restless ha. Listening to the wind outside, always sounds like waves crashing on a beach. How are you tonight?

Hi @Blackclouds, I'm doing ok thanks, had a rocky day but holding my own presently. We've had a few showers here tonight. Having the wind sound like waves crashing on the beach sounds peaceful 😊💜

Re: Night Shift

Photo is scary for me, @Former-Member. For example, I only have one photo of myself on Facebook and it's from about 2005, lol. I'm very self-conscious in front of cameras, especially now that I've stacked on the weight with the medications and menopause. Hair dye job I did myself tonight, can't afford the hairdresser prices. Wow, your hair is quite a lot longer than mine. Cool that you'll have an easier job managing it now. Haha, had to laugh about what Vanity would make of me some days (or weeks).

Time for me to sign off now. Gotta try for some sleep at least. Night, @Former-Member, hope you sleep well when you get there. Night @Blackclouds. Night, @utopia, looks like we have just missed chatting but will catch you next time. Night to anyone else still around.

I love hearing the rain on a tin roof. Love that sound. Or birds singing. Both are calming to me.
