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 @Anastasia, @Shaz51.

We had our second shots yesterday. Feeling mildly buggy, but not too bad.

Boiling up the kettle for a hot choc. 🙂

Hoping you're feeling better now @Smc ? 🙏

Rest up and enjoy your weekend ☀️😎💕

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Still feeling yuk at the moment @Anastasia, but the after effects generally pass within a day or two. Should be back to myself sometime Saturday/Sunday-ish.

In the meantime, I'll make sure I treat myself nice and gentle. 🙂

Sorry to hear @Smc

Yes gently over the weekend.

My bf is suffering today after having his yesterday. Mine is next week. I'll be honest I am frightened. But I think it's just my anxiety talking to me with the whole situation. Where are you? I'm in NSW in one of the more restricted areas 😞

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

We're in country Vic, so at the moment we've got relative freedom of movement.

I'd say you're right about it being anxiety making it all seem worse than it actually is. The "common" side effects, like what I'm getting at the moment, really just mean your immune system is doing what it's meant to. The dangerous reactions are very rare. I'm sure you'll be fine, but I get it that the anxious brain doesn't want to listen to reason. xx

Make sure you plan in a couple of self care days after the shot. I've got ready to heat up meals here so I don't have to cook, and we made sure nothing was scheduled for a couple of days after the shot. Not that that's an issue during lockdown....

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

That is good news about where you are @Smc . Good advice regarding meals I will definitely plan. Thank you for your wise words x

@Anastasia I get my second one tomorrow, no reaction whatsoever to the first - AZ 12 weeks ago

how are you though? Is the lad home?

I've been offline for a bit and always miss you guys when I'm not around

so a big shout out to @Shaz51 @AussieRecharger @HenryX @Faith-and-Hope @Carlachris and I know there are more of you... I should have trolled around a bit first to remember names.

👋💕 @SJT63 ......

Hi everyone.

Taking a late lunch break here.

@Faith-and-Hope ....Same it's freezing cold here in Country Victoria......I think I need 2 hot chocolates...today. One for each hand.
So tired of the cold wet winter it has been dreadful. We were caught in a massive storm and had no power in the height of winter for 5 days. Be glad to turn the corner into beautiful spring. I love spring and Autumn.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Good to see you @Carlachris ......

I am in "condensed living" housing with no balcony. I can only open windows when it's not windy, so I have hardly been outside ...... but when my feet are freezing in bed at night I know roughly where the mercury is on the temperature gauge !!!

The weather is much more seasonal here than where we were in WA, so it is lovely to see changes that herald Spring.
