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.

I just wanted to check in and to see who was about tonight. I had fairly busy day- beach walk, lunch and shopping with a girlfriend. I'm just feeling a bit down tonight but I have my staffy tucked up beside me. Hope everyone as had a nice day.

Hi @Former-Member,

Your day sounds really good. Sorry you are feeling a bit down afterwards. Lovely that you have your staffy tucked up with you for fond company.

It's been a recovery day for me from yesterday's big one. Have been asleep on and off all day and feeling exhausted and a bit depressed in between. Partner is at a work party. Nothing on telly. Mainly just sitting in the chair with my eyes shut, resisting going back to bed. Didn't have the energy to engage here until just now. Maybe being here will pick up the near flatlined energy levels a bit. 🙂

Hi @Former-Member. I'm here tonight. Good place to chat on a Saturday night. Love your name by the way. Conjures up wonderful images of the ocean and beach. I'm also picturing ruggard cliffs and strong howling winds. Love it.
What's your Staffy's name?
I have 3 dogs - a black lab called Nashi (nash for short), a jack russell named Max (we took him in when he needed a home last year - he's definitely a handful) & Abbey, my little maltese x shitsu.

Hi @Former-Member....

Nice to meet you... I'm here regularly sometimes, but not for awhile....

Sounds like a nice day - I love the beach - I live too far away - 2.5-3 hours 😞

I feel a bit low too... One of my kittens is on my lap. One is at my feet. The boy is laying on a cushion at the other side of the lounge. I'm waiting for Star Trek movie to come on tv - hoping it is the 2013 one, so my memory is refreshed before seeing the latest at the cinema.

Namaste,

Anna

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Mazarita. I'm here tonight. Bit bored. But going okay today. Has been a good
t I'm over this winter. I'm just lying in bed with the electric blanket on.
Hi @Former-Member. My 3 dogs are curled up asleep near the heater, while my teenage boy watches footy. Hence - I'm in my room. Not a big footy fan

Re: Night Shift

Yay, the puppies came through fast. Still waiting on your images at this end, @Faith-and-Hope, @Former-Member. Good to see you around too @Former-Member. Thanks for mentioning the Star Trek movie, might watch that too. I'm seeing the new one at the cinema tomorrow (birthday treat). Hi @utopia, I'm no footy fan either. Envy you all having pets but glad for you too.
