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.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I have to remain in isolation around my D2 @outlander cos she is high-risk, so if classes go back face-to-face, I can't at the moment.

I am sure I am not the only one tho, and if clusters of coronavirus flare up, people are still going to have to go into short-term quarantine anyway ..... so something will have to be tweaked for students like me.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

yeah I get that @Faith-and-Hope its a tricky time. lots of adjustments and things having to be changed. I have to be careful cause of pop too but feel abit better going out since there hasn't been any new cases in our area for nearly 3 weeks and all have recovered.

at least with the technology we have these days we can have online meetings and appointments and online studies are possible 🙏

does D2 still get to see her supports face to face? id imagine it would be tricky for you too if its only on the phone or not at all.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Not at all @outlander .... but it's okay. She has been at home with me and just supported within our family up until the beginning of last year when her father started going away for half a week each week, and then what happened at the end of last year ..... she is easy to be with, has lots of activities to get on with here, especially as my art space has sort of moved back here when S2 and D3 moved into what was our art space before .... and she needs a lot of social training. While my classes are online from home, it has been good to be working with her every day.
