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'm well rested tonight. I did a lot of my favourite past time this weekend (sleeping) lol. We had wonderful rain yesterday and it's always nice to lay in bed and listen to the rain.
I missed the chat on Frid and yesterday as I was watching the latest series of Grace and Frankie on Netflicks 😘

Hi all. I'm resting today, was a friends birthday celebration last night, socialising can take a lot of energy sometimes... Accompanying daughter to court on Tues: she had an arguement with a now ex friend at Christmas, who then applied for a MRO against her, which sent her into a real tail spin. (They are both responsible for it) So things have been challenging of late & we're both feeling nervous about court. So, this too shall pass.....

Great news about the rain, its hot here still.

@FindingStrength

I find socialising really tiring as well. I have to put limits on it but try and find a balance so I don't isolate myself. Hubby really struggles with it so this year I think I will be doing more activities on my own.

Hi all.
Little bit rumbly outside, but I think we're missing most of the storm. Weather forecast reckons we might get some tomorrow, so we'll see.
Dinner's cooking here, it's reached the stage where I can leave it to its own devices for the next 15 mins... 🙂 Chook drums in a satay-ish sauce, plus rice and salad. Somewhat inspired by a coupls of nice Asian meals I had during the week. (A pub meal and an Asian restaurant.)
Mine's unlikely to be this picturesque, but who cares if it's yummy.

@Smc dinner looks nice...

Had salmon and salad here.

(Salmon bites tossed through a salad).

We had a bigish storm and multiple heavy downpours this afternoon that put an end to outdoor maintenance activities.

Planning a boat trip later this week if I can make the required preparations and the weather cooperates. Not that I am complaining about the rain. We need it.

I like the sound of your Salmon salad @Determined

Tasty & healthy at the same time.

Smoked Salmon, even better (maybe not so healthy)....
