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 @Adge. 🙂 We never saw frogs when we were living in Melbourne. Here they are abundant.

@Shaz51, it's raining again here now, but not as heavy as yesterday. I'd put a load of washing out on the line a couple of days ago, so it got a "deep rinse" yesterday. Some of it was dry late today, but the towels were still saturated. Am not fussed. They'll get there, and be very very clean too.

Had a nice chook broth, veg and barley soup for dinner. Have you heard about the guy who ordered a three course meal at an outdoor restaurant when it was raining? It took him three hours to finish the soup.... 😛

Due to falling asleep on the couch earlier which I often do, I am now wide awake.

Having a glass of milk to try and induce some sleepiness (is that even a word??)

@Bunniekins, you very appropriately called @Shaz51 a "constellation of stars". Should we make this very cheerful song her new theme song? 🙂

Morning Peoples!

@Smc Hey Smc I think that song would be perfect for our Shaz51 :Dxxxx

@Beautifulday Was it warm milk and did you have success with inducing sleepiness? Wrapping your hands around a warm cup always seems to feel so cozy.

For anyone I have missed in my rounds of individual threads tonight and those I have found I just wanted to drop by with a warm hug and big mug of hot choc and say how much I appreciate this space and everyone here. It is always encouraging to see the support and encouragement for and of each other. 😊 I often think of eveyone here and how you are all traveling even when not online to catch up. Bug shout out to all the mods also who help make this space what it is

👍👍👍
