Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor23 Sept 2015, 4:13 am AEST

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

Hi @Former-Member

I am okay except for the weather and what it is doing to my back - which hurts a lot when the wind is icy and the reverse cycle A/C and insulation cannot win against the concrete slab under the carpet

Freezing wind, icy rain, torrents of fresh air from the sub-zero temperatures of the Antarctic storms - pointing icy fingers through any and every tiny space - crook and nanny - ooh - bad weather

The nurse started to draw up my medication as soon as I arrived and the doctor took one look and asked how I was and okayed the medication and I was glad to stay on the bed in the recovery room where my feet were warm -

But now I am home - and the ice is creeping up my feet and legs etc - but I should be feeling better tomorrow

Now - I should not try and type and watch M A S H at the same time - I don't know what I written - and as for typos

Sokay - just a weather report @Former-Member

Thanks for asking

Decadian

@Kurra

I saw my doctor about my bad back today and I know the truth

The weather is really bad - really really bad

But he can't give me the day off because I have retired

May I suggest that you read some of The Hunger Games books - I watched the first movie last week - it was a great movie - and I looked it up on the internet - I guess the author got the idea from the Ancient Roman Gladitorial Games - I will be hunting the books down asap

I hope you like them - let me know if you read them

Re: Night Shift

Hi again @Decadian

I think you must live down South and glad your appointment went well today. Does anything help with your back? Not much you can do about the weather but hopefully you are rugged up tonight. As you said hopefully you feel better tomorrow.

Re: Night Shift

Goodnight @Former-Member and @Former-Member i hope you sleep well💜😊😴

Ive just got home. After I posted on the bus I was trying to work out bus stops but it was dark. I took a gamble and got off the bus - 5 STOPS EARLY. So @Faith-and-Hope Ive had my evening walk too in the dark and rain and cold, not happy Jan! But it was probably good for me 😊. Then raced up to get my son and have just got home 😌.

Hi @Shaz51, how did your appointments go today?
