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.

@Faith-and-Hope or anyone else who can fulfill an "admin" role...

I just wrote up a big post for the new gardening thread, it showed up briefly and then disappeared. Has it gone anywhere retrievable???

I mentioned my bl00d orange tree... could that have triggered a filter?

Hey everyone, @Smc @Former-Member @Determined @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope

Just wanted to say thanks for your company tonight. It helped! I have now completed all the sudoku and crossword puzzles in the magazines on the table. Didnt bother with reading my half finished book, my concentration wasnt really up to it. This is a novel I started way back in November! Sigh.

Anyway, I have just given hubby all his evening meds and sent him off to bed. He's now out like a light, the lucky man. I feel like saying to someone, "I'll have what he's on"! Certainly he doesnt seem to have any trouble getting to sleep and having a restful nights sleep. I envy him, as I cant recall the last time I had even a snatched hour of sleep here or there.

Well I dont know what the weather is like where you all are, but its been really wet here the past 2 days. 38mms up to 9am this morning. And already a further 70mms today so far. Still raining and likely to continue for another 2 days. So its getting wetter by the minute. Likely to be localised flooding by the end of tomorrow I would think. We are high and dry here though thankfully.

I love to lie in bed and listen to the rain. Dont you? So even if I dont actually sleep, its still restful and calming listening to the sound of rain on a tin roof. So .... I am heading off to bed.

Good night all.

Sherry
