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.

Hello all, church this morning too, have just finished a late-ish lunch. Had a somewhat teary but still encouraging morning. Sometimes the music is good as a channel for pulling together the tangle of thoughts and feelings.
@Faith-and-Hopeour weather heads your way, so yup, can guarantee that there's more wind and rain coming. Definitely a Hot Choc afternoon.

How is Hubby's back going @Smc?

@Former-Member, the sore back turned out to be an early sign of a case of Shingles. He's still somewhat sore, but definitely on the way to recovery. We went to the doctor's early enough for antiviral tablets to be worthwhile, so even though it's been painful, I don't think it's been a horribly bad case of it. Thankfully.

Thank God you got to the antiviral medication early enough @Smc ..... shingles is not good.

It is good you got in early enough for the anti viral meds @Smc. When I had it earlier in the year it was too late for that by the time I went in. I thought it was a reaction to new meds so did not worry until it was too late. Not nice.
