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.

Lovely @Shaz51

I met new and old friends.

The quality of the music was great, the food lousy.

Hi @Shaz51

Hi @Former-Member

I finally got some pain relief (a bit) - the Locum Dr came out, a few hours ago.

No ordinary pain tablets were doing anything (not helping) - so he gave me a script for some much stronger stuff.

Unfortunately it "causes drowsiness". Any drowsiness medication virtually knocks me out (very susceptible).

So I'm very knocked out right now - at least my shoulder is less painful...

hugs @Adge

Hello @Former-Member

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks @Shaz51

Hugs to you too.

Hugs are precious, & in very short supply - so I don't turn one down (usually).

Sorry you are a bit knocked out @Adge Hugs from me too.

Know what you mean about hugs. I went to first rehearsal with the men today, was offered 2 hugs from 2 young men whom I have known for about 5-8 years. It really helped.

This has been a good week irl as son also offered one.

Usually its been years between hugs. lol

Cyber hugs are better than none.

Share the love ...

still an old hippy in some ways.

What was amazing at the fundraiser/soiree last night was that an older well to do European madam told me off as I had said "No thanks" to the waiters twice. She said I had to eat the food in a very bossy voice ... God I have no idea what that was about. I was struggling with the drink, chat and eat .... a bit anxious about making the right chat ... so was keeping life simple. I paid for my ticket (A lot) so I should be able to decide what and how much I was to eat ... I couldnt believe it. Shades of the orphanage where a lady took against me for not eating everything ... must have a sign on my forehead .... no wonder I have bloomin food and weight issues.
