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 @Former-Member

Fancy a cuppa?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Oh yes @Former-Member , very much so.

I stocked up on my favourite brand of (Avalanche) chai latte at my last shopping trip. Can only buy it at IGA, as its not stocked at coles or woolies. I am about to put the kettle on now that dinner is out of the way. And would welcome some company as its been a difficult couple of days for me here.

Hi also @Faith-and-Hope @Determined @Adge @Ali11 @Shaz51 and anyone else out there.

Have you got the footy on @Former-Member. A couple of Mr D' brothers are huge Crows fans.

A spare chai latte if @Adge or @outlander interested. 😀

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I'm a Swans supporter @Former-Member and their match finished half an hour ago. They lost to Geelong. My nrl team Raiders have just started, but its not on tele. I think The Crows game against Melb Demons is due to commence now. Hope they win for Mr D's bros.

Ta for the cuppa, and the company.

AFL on at our place Fri & Sat pm no matter who is playing @Former-Member. How is Holly? Our Missy is hogging the recliner closest to the heater.

@Adge how is Jelly cat?

@Former-Member Holly is all snuggled up in her favourite tiger blanket. In the prime spot alongside the fire. She really feels the cold, poor baby.

I would watch footy now too, but hubby is on the rampage, so I have sought refuge in another room. This tele doesnt have foxtel, and no digital chanels either. But its safer here.

Yikes @Former-Member trust you are keeping warm.enough. I have headed to bed and the warmth of the electric blanket. Will try and get through a few Sudoku puzzles to try and keep the grey matter a work out.

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes Im warm enough @Former-Member ... thanks. Its the steroids he's on for encephalitis, makes him more volatile. And I made him angry. I'm ok though. I love doing sudoku too.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Wondered if it was the 'roid rage @Former-Member . When Mr D had some surgery the bloke in the room next door was giving every one curry, visitors and staff. Everyone made him angry

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes @Former-Member 😳 roid rage on top of an already voilent nature. My fault, I should know by now what to expect.

Just snuck in and got that chai latte I wanted. 😀☕ And Holly is now alongside me to help keep me warm and less vulnerable. Not sure why that is, shes a timid little thing and will run away when things turn nasty. But for now ... shes here.
