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.

Ow @Former-Member.

Big dose of caffeine coming up. We can tell ourselves that the cake is a strong mocha flavour?

Hi all. Onto our second cuppa here, with a shot of caramel syrup and a gingernut with it. Gingernuts are good dunking bikkies. 🙂

Hi @Smc , good to see you. And lovely to be sharing a second cuppa with you. Mocha flavoured cake sounds particularly good I must say. So too does the caramel syrup in the cuppa, and equally so anything with ginger in it. Some of my most favourite flavours is caramel and ginger. Yum.

Hi again @Former-Member @Smc @Bunniekins @Shaz51 @Adge

I managed to doze a bit longer, but feeling headachey,, exhausted, congested. The howling of the wind through something on the outside of the building is still happening, and I still have submission tasks to complete, with a couple of appointments today, and a celebration to attend tonight,

Think Ivwill get up and going and see whether a hot shower and stretching my legs to the local coffee shop will help.☕️💕

I feel for you @Faith-and-Hope with the lack of sleep. I too feel headachy and exhausted after a few tough days and nights. Like you, I have a couple of appointments today .. not for me thankfully, but for hubby. No celebrations to attend though. As usual ... your day is full. I hope you can accomplish what you need to throughout the day. Enjoy the coffee shop! I think I will likely take hubby to a coffee shop today too, provided time allows, in between 2 medical appointments. Highlight of my day. 👍🍰☕ I hope you pick up with the walk and caffeine intake.

Thanks @Former-Member

I have ended up taking headache meds, but don’t feel any better at the moment .... then I realised it’s a body detox set of symptoms ..... headache, tightness in my neck lymph zones, flu-like sinus response, brain fog, nausea and fatigue. If that is correct it will pass across the day and have lifted by tonight. It’s about an 8-10 hour cycle, but it means that my system is ridding itself of more metabolic syndrome junk, and that’s a good thing.

I hope you get to the coffee shop with hubby between appointments today. I missed the walk-to one this morning. I called hubby cos we are in our new living space and I needed to know how to exit the parking lot with it’s control gate, and got met with a snarly, nasty response ...... grrrr ...... stood up for myself, then hung up ..... but grrrrr ......

Then the kids waylaid me for a bit, and then I found some ink had leaked in my art supplies in transit ..... grrrr ..... thankfully contained by the wonders of plastic bags, but not before ruining my schedule of unfinished submissions I need to complete across the next couple of days ..... :face_with_rolling_eyes:

Yep, one of those days. I can access the info online, so that will get me through .....

Hugs for your busy day. Thank God for coffee and coffee shops.

I actually ran into my hubby shopping in a continental supermarket near my first appointment, cos it’s in the area where we used to live, and his mum still lives. Was very conscious that anyone watching us would probably mistake us for distant acquaintances. My mr. was so focused on his food shopping that I got barely a nod and a hello. Sigh.

Raining lots here, on and off, and blustery.
