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.

Thanks @Shaz51 @amber22 @Faith-and-Hope

I found out what went wrong with my Escript yesterday - the pharmacist who was there when the usual man was on hoidays hadn't transferred my script into their computer and it has all been sorted out. The pain clinic has been super-helpful, and I have an extra Escript now which is really cool.

My granddaughter is coming to Melbourne for a few days and visiting me next week and on Friday I am getting my new back door painted. All good news

Yay such good news!! @Owlunar

That is great that your script got sorted out, and how exciting about your granddaughter coming to visit! Does she come often?

Hi @amber22

I haven't seen my granddaughter for nearly 4 years because she lives in Queensland and I live in Melbourne - then after I had seen her in July 2019 we had COVID - her parents went to see her and got back to Melbourne 3 days before they could have been locked out.

So I am really looking forward to next Tuesday - she's vegan and I am hoping that between the deli and the coffee shop I can get enough to shout her lunch. I will have ordinary food of course but I respect her choices

I feel okay about my boundaries and I was respectful.

That is so exciting!! @Owlunar That will be lovely to see her and be able to connect with her again.

Ooo vegan food is very yummy, I have recently been trying to eat more vegan because I find that it doesn't mess up my stomach as much.

Do you have any plans with her while she is over? That will be lovely to go out to lunch together

@She's in Melbourne to go to a wedding of a friend she has known since kindergarten - and of course she will be staying with her parents - she's going to be catching up so I am really glad she is going to be here on Tuesday
