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.

Probably not the right place.... but ok I'm testing it. This is the third in a trilogy.. Set side by side. I know it's cr@pola... but it's my cr@pola.... lol don't even know if it makes sense to anyone else. It's supposed to be a story, or in this case, the end part of it. Not really relevant without the other bits though, but oh well.

Good morning everyone! Just having a BIG dirty chai latte at the moment to try keep me awake and motivated and probably less grumpy.

@Former-Member - Iove the picture. I am probably the one in the middle of the 2nd row right now. But in front of clients and my bosses the last row on the left. haha.

Got my tennis semis tonight! We already know we will need a miracle to get through the finals. But because I pre-empted that we will lose, I have booked tickets to watch beauty and the beast next Thursday.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

hahahaha @Anony18 that's my collage... I created it to tell my story in clip art rather than words.... you "read" it left to right line by line, as you would a book.. that's the third in a set of three... the other two are much darker.. so I didn't post them yet. 😛

It would probably make more sense with the other two.. I just don't really know where to post them. I created them yesterday.. it was my project based on a post that @Faith-and-Hope did in the Art thread..... where she suggested I might be able to do stick figure art ... this is my version of stick figure art 😛 I know.. it's not very good... but I know what it means.

@Former-Member - don't say it isn't good cause it is good. Art differs to everyone and art is beautiful no matter what it is. From a child's squiggly drawing to Da Vinci's Mona Lisa. It is how an individual views it. Talking about art I went to MoMa in NY and also the Van Gogh art museum in Netherlands. My friend that went with me in Netherlands walked so quickly could barely see it. She wasn't into art. But when I went to MoMa I took a while. Lots of floors and some of the art pieces caught my eye. I am not every artistic to be honest and I probably don't understand the different brush strokes but when I look at certain pieces from oil paints to abstracts some of them speak to me. I think it is what you are experiencing in that point of your life....if that makes sense. Think that is what I love about it. One day you look at a piece and feel warm fuzzy and another day the same piece may give you a different feeling....though it could just be me haha.

If you are worried about triggering others with how dark the other two pieces are @Former-Member, maybe set up a different thread with a trigger warning in the title. The mods will only pass images that meet the community guidelines anyway ...

Love your cr@pola btw ..... 😄❤️💕

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

yesss @Anony18 it's like red wine can be, or philosophy... until we get a certain amount of insight or life experience under our belts, we often don't appreciate the wisdom behind them.

@Faith-and-Hope yes that's a good idea re the thread. creation. I just don't know if anyone else will "get" what I have in them though. So not even sure they are worth posting.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi @Shaz51 - we also have no rain here today...or did you say it was raining there. You have confused me now haha. Though today I am easily confused given feeling sleepy. Am hoping Saturday will be good weather given it is the ball and I don't want to get wet heading to the venue. Not sure how my hair is going to turn out. Am taking a swig at DIY an updo. Youtube and trialled - not how it turned out in the video

@Former-Member - oh I love philosophy and sometimes have debates about things. As for your intention to post. If you would like to share do so. Would love to see it obviously. You never know if people would "get" them or not and you never know it may speak to someone as well. However definitely do it only if you are comfortable and like to share xx

Hi @Shaz51 .... 😊💕

I'm with @Anony18 on that one @Former-Member ..,, we can't know what means what to whom ..... (see what I did there ... 😊)

As long as the trigger warning is on it, it's your own expression, and that's allowed.
