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.

Its odd I really liked the sound of his voice. It was warm and rich and genuine. He used to sound much more angry, when talking. Maybe singing all the full bore stuff has help him get some of that anger out of his system.

Morning @Shaz51

Its more like chocolate in the bed .... part of the regimen is a measured amount of a chocolate-covered superfood .... calls it his "naughty treat" and it's his "reward" for sticking to his regimen for the day ...

He's bed by about 8pm, lights off, reading emails on his iPad, then goes to sleep after half an hour or so of munching .... I haven't finished the clean-up from dinner by then so I'm stumbling over cushions on the floor in the dark, and cross cos I haven't had the chance to unwind myself .... usually end up falling asleep on the couch ...

If I'm in the bedroom with the TV on, or when D3 was doing homework there with me, he would set up on the couch, munching, and fall asleep there .... has to have his legs raised with four big cushions cos of muscle cramps .... but then the noise of the kids still being up meant he's sleeping worse than usual ... so giving up our room to him is part of trying to look after him .... he sleeps poorly anyway.

We've got the best couch to sleep on !! It's as comfy as any bed.

💗💕

@Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51 thanks for the good wishes.
Another new neighbour met and he immediately gave us a back door!

The house arrived yesterday morning around 4am. It was very, very surreal watching it. We drove over to the next town to follow it in. It's all set on it's stumps now. Next is cleaning. Lots and lots and lots of cleaning. It's been sitting in a depot for a couple of years. And then renovating, and making a garden and a home. Of course, I don't know how to do anything and need to be told so, every time I open my mouth. Hubby, walked off in the wrong direction to the car and yes, several neighbours saw and asked if there was a problem, so now they know.
