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 ?

Ohh after this morning Mr shaz wanted to completely stop work altogether @Former-Member

And being mum's carer I can get mum's scripts from the doctor, she is happy about this not going to the doctor herself xx

Yay for the new job @Adge. 🙂
So home care packages? I hope you end up with a lovely bunch of clients who look forward to seeing your face.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thank you @Smc Much appreciated.

Yes Home-Care, it's mostly showering, dressing people, cooking them meals, & prompting them to take their meds.

@Adge hoping you will find your clients are a little more appreciative as you will be helping them stay in their homes for longer.

Saw this and thought of you.

The Downward-Facing Cake Pose looks Good @Former-Member @Smc @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope @Determined @Emelia8

Despite doing 2 Yoga classes every week, for most of the past 9 years - I am not a Fan of Downward Dog Pose (my least favourite).

Thanks - Yes my new clients do seem much more appreciative, being helped to maintain their independence.

A lot of showering people, toileting, general house-cleaning.

It's the huge amount of daily driving - in my own car (not paid $ for my Kms either), that is the main issue.

I was Spot-On with my estimates (from past experience) - I drove 100Km in my 1st day on the Job.

That gave me excruciating Bursitis in my Shoulder, in my last Job.

So I cannot keep that up for long.
