Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

☕️

Oh dear @Catcakes, we've been out sightseeing today.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Catcakes .... they sound like amazing experiences ..... ❣️

I hope you’re getting the chance to rest up sometimes .....

I am having a fully dressed “pyjama day” today and getting grouches at by mr. because he is running himself ragged .... but I am brain-fogged and feeling yucky, so I am resting. I spent enough years running hard to look after our needs .... now I take light days when I need them ..... says she after 3 loads of washing done, bed made, kitchen and bathroom cleaned, some gift shopping, and a sketch in the coffee shop .....

You can begin to lose a sense of what is a reasonable workload.

Sightseeing sounds like a lovely way to spend a day @Former-Member 👍🏼
I’m disappointed @Faith-and-Hope that you didn’t sit sketching in your pj’s.
I braved the monstrous consumer’s playground shopping for wedding outfits and had a coffee once I was done.
Now that I’m home , I don’t feel like doing any of my own housework having done Mum’s this morning. Washing to put away, dinner to prepare.... pj day day sounds good.
My partner just left for physio so quiet here 😊👍🏻🌸

Bit of a bonus here, going out for tea @Catcakes, I am not very good at housework @Faith-and-Hope

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I have been to coffee shops in pj’s before @Catcakes .... jacket, scarf and ugg boots on .... and nobody was any the wiser .... at least they didn’t let on if they were .... lol ....

Mind you, I didn’t have blue hair then ....😏

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

True @Faith-and-Hope, I think you could get away wearing anything when you have blue hair... bit warm for jackets, scarves and uggs though.
I’m really tired, didn’t sleep well overnight😞
Might have to cut the dog walk a bit short. He is limping a bit anyway.

I run raids on housework @Former-Member .... it gets done in 10min intervals here and there ....

My Mum wasn’t good at housework .... had to lift the cat off what we wanted to wear from the pile of clean clothes on the spare bed in my brother’s room and iron it before going out ..... sometimes putting things back through the wash if they had been left too long in the machine before being hung out. Dinners were one-pot wonders, and the floors got vacuumed if someone was coming over ..... so my Dad would invite someone over every week or two to ensure some vacuuming got done .... and the bathrooms wiped over .... lol ....

Hey, it worked .... ❣️

And she was a wonderful Mum .... just not a wonderful housekeeper. Her interests lay elsewhere.

Sounds fine to me @Faith-and-Hope 👍🏻
Special occasion @Former-Member? Exotic cuisine in mind?
We’re having Greek 😊

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Last night in Qld @Catcakes, going to a pub so could be nice or not. Stuck in traffic at present, brother in law suggesting alternative route, just as congested I suspect.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hope it’s yummy pub food @Former-Member 😋
