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.

Yep, that's a Good One @Former-Member A pet Ant-Eater...

Very relevant - because my date was worried about Ticks (getting on us).

Apparently there are lots of them in that park.

I had a tick burrow into my leg (last October) whilst on my yoga retreat (bushland area).

Hi @Former-Member How are you?

Sunburnt, Boom Boom speaker noise (until 3am this morning) - exhausted, not so good I'm sorry.

Tried to chip ice out of my iced-up fridge (yesterday afternoon), the ice cut my hand.

I just wrote about it on the Worry Room thread.

Hot Choc (or cold one)?

I've got Choc muffins, that my Saturday Date didn't want to eat...

@Adge sounds like you are having a bad trot.

We had the white goods repairman out today - there was a deceased rat and mouse in the workings of our freezer - turns out the thermostat is gone - spare part on order, hopefully we will have it fixed before the weekend.

Yum, that's a lovely cheese & nuts platter @Former-Member

Yes, I hope you get the spare part I have your freezer fixed soon.

I had a cockroach short-out the wires in my fridge once...

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I have a serious hernia the Dr said. He's referred me to a surgeon for surgery. I'm reeling from that information (shock). Sorry to be a downer. Adge

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

That's no good @Adge. Will you need to have that surgery soon? Are you in pain now?

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks @soul Only some pain, although it's probably been there for some time. It's directly caused by my 3 major bowel surgeries. The wound split, when they took the staples out too early (they said). They wouldn't re-staple it, & instead a massive wide scar formed over it (& 25cm long). So that's where the hernia is - very upsetting. Referral through the public system could take over 12 months. The Dr said if it get much worse, I shall have to go to emergency. Adge
