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.

☕️

@Former-Member hahaha, DEFINITELY!! This is how I know my hubby loves me, he loves when I sing 😜. And no, he isn't tone deaf, just weird (in the absolutely cutest way).

Re: @Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Sophie1, I play violin and viola. 🙂 I originally started learning violin in Grade 3. (At my request, and I'm very grateful that my Dad followed it up for me.) I've taken up viola in more recent years because I like the slightly lower, richer sound, and the techniques are the same. I'd have trouble reading viola music though. I never learned Alto Clef.
I got to Grade 6 AMEB and started 7th, but my skills have probably slipped back to 3 or 4. Church is still my main musical outlet, but I occasionally get a chance to play with friends who are folk/celtic musicians, and I very much enjoy that too.

Hi @Former-Member

I'm off to work (afternoon shift) soon.

I just printed out your Mental Health Continuum Model (Carers Hints & tips to Success) - because it looks really helpful.

Unfortunately the printer blurred the words, because of the orange & red colouring...

I'm off to hospital for surgery, in just over 2 week's time (my 4th major surgery).

How have you been?

You might be able to google chart to get better definition. 😀

Hope work ok.

Hi @Appleblossom @Faith-and-Hope it has been quiet. Perhaps a collective group hug needed.
