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.

@Determined ahh, sleep. So essential, so elusive. I've slept better the last couple of nights than I had for a while. so I'm feeling a bit more human than I was.

We wandered out to a garage sale happening just around the corner from our place. Wandered back with a mixed lot of oddments. A mirror for younger daughter's room, some brand new slotted ag pipe (for planned greywater dispersion), a paper briquette press, a small hand turned camper's washing machine, a furniture moving trolley and a few other odds and ends...trolley was used to get it all home. We must have looked interesting.

I've wondered on and off for years about the briquette presses and little washing machines. Have never been certain enough to pay out for them, but at garage sale prices we can give them a go, and sell them on to someone else if they don't work out for us.

Feeling a bit more human is a good way of describing it @Smc, feeling a bit that way myself. I still have a lot of catching up to do though. Resisting the urge to sit in front of the computer and do more work at the moment, I worked through for the last 2 weekends to finalise some assessment and it has not done me any favours .

Storm and rain probably a good thing anyway, I had some skin spots cut off yesterday and supposed to be keeping my feet up and taking it easy. At least there are no stitches to pull like last time I had spots cut off.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Shaz51 I've been outside potting on some plants. I'm not a lawns fan, and would happily replace all of ours with plants of one kind or another. Interspersed with paths and decking or paved patios.

@Determined yep, better to rest and let yourself heal. I know whenever I've had minor surgery, I've been a poor judge of how much activity I was up to... until the pain suddenly kicked in.

Psych appointment was not a good one @Bunniekins Thanks for asking.

I feel very invalidated,& not listened to. Lacking in any encouragement.

She honestly looked like she was falling asleep (& unable to pay attention). This happens too often...
