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.

Yes driving does make me anxious @Bunniekins

Mainly I find it exhausting. I drive over 120km each day, to & from work, & in-between.

Then when I need to drive to get some social interaction (or to get somewhere), I just don't feel up to driving (going) anywhere...

I tried to find pictures of those Popcorn birds @Faith-and-Hope Because they do sound funny.

Without the name of the bird, all I came up with were pictures of Popcorn....

The NDIS is massively under-funded @Bunniekins

It does not allow any transport funding for most clients, whereas they used to have car transport under State Funded (DSC) packages.

So we are forced to take these people on buses & trains - when it is often completely inappropriate...

It is the NDIS that has directly caused most of the cost-cutting (& wage cuts) in service organisation - they are receiving much less money (funding), so they have to make cuts somewhere (anywhere)...

Thanks @Bunniekins I've almost given up hope, from the years of effort...

That's where maybe I can borrow some faith & hope from @Faith-and-Hope...

@Bunniekins , 😀 Cleaning + small talk = not my strengths. But I do love hearing how people are going, If I talk too much I end up with foot in mouth ...

@Adge 7.30 am is an early start for a Saturday. I saw a golfer on the news ?Ricky Fowler in orange trousers and thought of you.

@Faith-and-Hope I always think if your going to indulge in something, that low fat, no fat, fake ingredients is out and that it should be an enjoyable sensory experience esp when it costs $$ We went out for the company, the drink secondary.
