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.

Morning @Shaz51 @outlander @Ali11 @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope

Lovely light rain here all night ... much needed. Love listening to the rain.

So I listened to it all night last night, got next to no sleep unfortunately.

Coming up to 10am and almost cuppa time. Going to sit and relax for a while. I would love to sit outside on the covered section of the deck, as its really mild and quite warm with the rain. But hubby gets chilled, so inside will have to do. I might escape out there myself when he has his next sleep.

Just finished putting together a lamb chop slow cooker meal for tonight.

Can just turn it to low now and let it do its thing. Wait for the lovely aroma's of rosemary, garlic and balsamic waft around the house. Just hope hubby is feeling up to enjoying it. So worried about him ... he is really ill ... need this hospital bed on Wednesday.

Another quiet day here for me. Holly is all snuggled up and wrapped up in her favourite blankie on the lounge. She is not into rain, and only ventures out when she cannot hold on any longer and is forced to take a toilet break. Other than caring duties, I will be watching some footy on tele later.

Hello @outlander @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope sounds like a few of us are feeling a little sleep deprived ... yikes.

Gentle steps today perhaps but things need to be done.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

gentle steps sound good @Former-Member

Do you have much to do today?

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes @outlander we have lovely spots to look out from. Both under cover from rain or out in the sun. We have a bull-nosed verandah around 3 sides of our house, so can chase the sun if you so desire. We also have a lower deck area below that verandah which is uncovered. Always somewhere nice to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet.

@Former-Member - yes very definately sleep deprived. Hubby has been put on strong painkillers in the final week leading up to his (hopefully) hospital admission on Wednesday. It makes him pretty dopey and drowsy and needs to be watched even more closely than usual. So I am constantly on alert at night, always listening out for him.

I hope everyone's day has at least one good thing in it for you all. Time for a cuppa for me now.
