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.

Hi @Shaz51

I know your husband has a lot of health issues - but I am sorry but I have laugh a bit when he said he doesn't know why but he feels very old - or maybe just old.

Oh dear dear dear - how the years pass - I feel very old and worn out this week - and they're giving us another public holiday - that really wears me down

But I am thinking with your detailing business public holidays must really hit your system - imo public holidays just mean people doing more work in less time and people getting paid for a day off - ah - does that make up for all the extra work they have to do in the remaining days?

I remember - when I worked full-time casual so I didn't get paid for public holidays - I would turn up after a day off in the name of the public good - even started a new job the day after cup-day once - after spending a long time on the Big Dipper and my back ached

But what I found after a day off was more and more paper on my desk when I got to work - no matter how neat and tidy my desk was when I left - when I got to work the next day I could hardly find it for all the paper - computer printouts, invoices, delivery dockets, orders and notes with questions - and everything no one else knew what to do with - and throw in a public holiday and it looked like a paper storm

Anyway - thinking of that makes me feel ancient - so anyway

I am thinking of you with your husband panic-stricken no matter which way the business is going - could that be making him feel old?

Of course

Anyway - everyone is a day older than they were yesterday

And thinking about it - yes - after a bad night - I am feeling old - but then - I am

Can I find a good pic for you @Shaz51?

Oh boy! Look what I found

Hugs

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope

If you're handing out cuppas - I'll have coffee every time

I remember one of those clip-art coffee's actually said "coffee" - maybe I'll have one of those

Tea tastes horrible to me - I used to drink it by the gallon and full of sugar too - but now - eek - no tea

I wonder what I can find in the graphics cup of coffee departments
