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.

Dear @Faith-and-Hope I used to play wing attack or wing defense sometimes ... can I teel you what happened .. its bizzare. The son's gf has been competitive with me on many levels .. and said she wanted to join that choir when I was in it. She went there 2 weeks ago and because they are deperate they let the newbies all in without audition ... then yesterday she had my son rehearsing her part. i had not told either of them about the extent of the clash .. just told son a bit about the section leader saying that she wondered how much of a fee rise I could absorb ... he agreed it was bad taste. That comment was at the end of a year of similar stuff. I sent an email saying that now my family and home have been involved in their next concert and that I would like to sing the piece that I already know ..

It is the one with 2 current professionals in major health & care organisations (not to be named of course)who are socialising there .. but also in positions of authority as is their like. We will see if they respond .. I had the thought of going to concert and singing a penetrating note in a quiet moment .. wicked wicked me for norty thort.

Hi @Anony18 hope you do better with arts communities than I seem to be doing .. my caring seems ok atm .. but I never get cocky ... take care.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope, BIG CUPPA coming up. Haave you had a hard day today, RUOK?

Last night, you didn't trigger me, it was more the others getting my D1 mixed up with your D3. You've been more understanding than all them put together. And you do know because of your mum who left a big hole in your life too early. And your sister isn't close. (how's ya dad by the way?).

I do want to hear how your baby dragons are going, even the girls. It sometimes hurts that my girl isn't jumping the same hoops but I can handle it. Got some heavy conditioning with me VC who has two girls 22&25. Besides, I get to imagine and kind of live it through you.

Please don't stop sharing. Only one week to your BFGW and trip and grad. We really want to hear all about how it goes and how you're coping. Youre my friend now, Hugzz 🙂

You're a champion @Former-Member my girl ...... 💜💐🌷💗💜

I needed to hear that cos I know it can be accumulative .... and there are lots of us on the go here at times ....

Think that's a bit what happened with the eth thing a while back, so please try not to take that personally .... we all sorta jumped into discussion at a time when she had just ventured out with a thought and associated feelings and just got a bit too overwhelmed ... and it can be hard to work it all back down to a comfort level for everyone ....

I would like to think that sharing the road helps you to heal in exactly the way you have described it to me ..... honoured to have met you and be sharing this journey ...

Big hugs sista .... 💜💐❣

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Big hugs @Appleblossom 💕 I am lucky the girls in this dance piece been great and we all take constructive feedback well. The key as well been not only to point out mistakes but give good feedback what someone is doing well. A warm fuzzy note as the dance teachers call it 🙂 Concert is in a week and half nervousssss!!!!!

@Faith-and-Hope - definitely taking a rest day. Rest for brain not so much body as been on move haha. But resting the brain is important since that is the part that keeps me awake at night! Dinner is gonna be interesting. Hopefully I be eating the food and not that my food be eating my face (if you get what I mean 😅)

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Haha @Anony18 .... yes .... much better if its you eating the dinner ..... 😆
