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.

Beautiful @Faith-and-Hope

@Anony18 Dance has been another theme in my life ... but no matter how many activities for fitness and calming and working etc ... if we are physically over stretched that is it. We can only optimise things so much.

Take care

I am really enjoying mandarins lately.

Hey everyone ...... coffee is on me ..... celebrating a win here .....

🌷💗💕🌷💗💕🌷💗💕🌷

My D3 had given up trying to get to graduation ..... had completely fallen into a hole when she lost work from her computer with only one day to go for submission ...... she thought she had wiped out.

The school headmistress called her yesterday and talked her into trying again .... told her they would walk through it all with her and help her out the wheels back on. She came in today .... has got a bomb of work to do .... but they have mapped it all out right up to the last minute and will mark hers last so she can fit it all in.

She worked her butt off today, and has started to meet the deadlines, realising that it is still possible if she keeps working like this. It's really complex, with lots of modules to it, but they helped her sort out what she has to do for each one and got her un-confused and co-ordinated. She is waaaay behind, but it's all do-able if she keeps kickin' on with it .....

Yay !! Not home and hosed yet, but she's back up and going ....

🌷💗💕

I'm so relieved @NikNik ..... we are all struggling to keep situational depression at bay and au really didn't know how she was going to cope ..... she cried all over her bridesmaid's dress during a fitting last week
...... upset the dressmaker ..... and that was before this happened .....

Still swimming ..... 🐠🐠🐠

@Faith-and-Hope - that is wonderful news! Got to celebrate every single win no matter how small or big

Weather is going to be raining and cold tomorrow by the way. Jackets come back out again! To be honest they haven't even gone back in the cupboard.

Am so exhausted - slept at 2am or tried to. Constantly eating to keep self awake. Had so many hot chocolates for the sugar rush. Hoping won't be too late of a night tonight!

Thanks for the heads-up re the weather @Anony18 .... and I hope you get some quality rest tonight.

I have been staying up that late a couple of times this week ... just looking for some head-space in the peace of the night time I think .....

Starting to run out of batteries now .... don't think I'll be up much longer tonight ...
