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.

Are the leaves still green? If so just add a bit if water (not too much or plant the lot in a space in the garden and leave, they will probably come up next year.

@Former-Member it's a pot plant. I might try to salvage it on the weekend. My new job keeps me busy for about 11 hours a day and so I completely forget about watering each day because I'm exhausted. I feel bad because it's such a nice plant

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes @Anna88 we worked out we both have the same ones - mini daffs bought at Woolies. They are hardy bulbs that usually pop up each year if planted outdoors without any TLC.

Oh that's right @Former-Member, I couldn't remember if it was you or Determined, I knew it started with D haha. Great to hear, hopefully he can be my grateful daffodil again soon haha

Good morning,

Mr D had a lie in this morning after sleeping well (following two bad nights) so I took the opportunity to catch up on a few forum threads.

Have the hound next to me on the bed whilst my own personal barista is making coffee and getting brekky ready. 😀😀😀

Morning @Former-Member that sounds nice 🙂 I had no plans for this weekend apart from studying and then a friend messaged me late last night to invite me to lunch, I'm really looking forward to it. Anyone watching the royal wedding tonight?

A personal barista making you coffee @Former-Member Excellent, maybe I could hire one of those...

Thanks for your thoughts.

Saturday mornings are hectic & tiring, leaving early for yoga class. Even more so today.

Mechanic told me to get my car wheels aligned, but couldn't do it himself (no equipment).

So I've been trying to find a place that would do it today (Saturday) - not as easy as I was told it would be.

I'm off to MH support group in a few hours, then will try to get car wheel alignment done late this afternoon.

I've not slept through virtually any night, for several weeks now - so feeling like a zombie has become my usual state (at the moment).
