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 need that brandy hot chocolate now .... ❣

Really cross with WH .... one of the personality changes that occurred with him when this e.d. set in was that he moved into his work persona, at home, every day, with us ..... our industry was a hard-hitting one, so we get a sledge-hammer-to-crack-a-peanut scenario going on with his communications .... it's not as bad as it has been, but just had one of those moments .... grrrr .... 😡

I'll sort him out, but just cranky and cross about it in the minute .....

Happy to have some S&V chips with mayo on the side .....

Live this cafe ❣. You can get anything here ....

Big mug of hug pleeeaaase .....

OK, finished dinner and dessert (icecream and some Chrissie pud- there was so much food on the table on the day that we decided to enjoy it some other time). Finished taking up schooldress for daughter; she's got the basic stationery plus a bit packed in her bag, needs to make lunch and then she'll be set for early get up tomorrow.

And I need to tackle some C'link-ish stuff tomorrow.... Hoping it goes well. And hoping I sleep well enough tonight in preparation.

Yeah @Appleblossom .... not nice .... ☹️

Its not my way to not talk out how I feel with him, but this e.d. altered version of him doesn't have compassion or ears .... wasting my breath to try .... would only cop round two ....

Its adding to the distance, but at some point it might tip over into an awareness that his relationships aren't relationships ..... they are just people accommodating his temperamental carry-on.

Okay .... I'm humgry and its @Shaz51's fault cos she posted that lovely loaf of bread on 365 Project, and you talke about jaffles .....

So what are we going to put in them ? Creativity please .... 😄

I like almond butter banana and apricot jam .....

Can't beat baked beans, plus a bit of bacon. Although if you want a dessert one, apple, honey and a bit of cinnamon.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Appleblossom. thanks for the compliment, but no way am I totally organised.

I've said elsewhere that I'm seeing myself slowly wearing down... Generally, if we can manage clean clothes, clean dishes on the table and a healthy meal to fill them with, that's got to be good enough. We seem to manage more or less keeping on top of school neccessities, but other things often get a bit "hazy".
