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 Shaz & F&H, just found you hiding over here. Hope you got everything done. All the best with WH tomorrow/today F&H, I managed to mow the lawn & vacuum today. Pretty quiet. 👣

Saw that on the other thread @Former-Member 😊😊😊

Well done you ❣

My friends have just left, so I'm settling in, just going back thru email notifications .... so it might take a little while to catch you where you are .... unless you have headed off to sleep by now.

Hello @Shaz51, @Former-Member, @Faith-and-Hope and anyone else who is around 🙂

How is everyone today? I’m definitely up for a hot chocolate today, perhaps with some cinnamon and cloves for extra warming flavour.


@Shaz51 it’s always satisfying to get a few jobs done. And now you get to have your daughter make you dinner – sounds lovely!

Hi @Former-Member 😊

Yes @Shaz51 .... hot chocolate for me too please ....

Just getting my D3 to school to see the school counsellor for a bit .... she had a mini-melt-down this morning after visiting a clin.psych yesterday for the first time. Gotta just get her through this one last term of school .... gotta get me through her one last term of school ....

Bring on the hit chocolate ❣😊

How are things in my favourite virtual cafe? I've not been around much - and I'm about to go on leave - so my apologies for not pouring my fair share of flat whiltes and hot chocolates of late.

Anyone in need of a fix? Sounds like you need one @Faith-and-Hope. Coming right up. I hope things settle for your daughter. It's a shame that getting help can be so unsettling. It a great start though.

How about you @Shaz51? @Former-Member? Might be a bit late for a coffee but I'm willing to pour whatever you're willing to drink 🙂

Thanks for being so welcoming to new carers. I'd like to add a welcome to @shr too. This thread is a place to just hang out and have a chat if the mood strikes. You'll find yourself amongst friends who understand relationship challenges 🙂

Hi @Former-Member 😊

Hi cafe regulars ..... 😊

Hi cafe newbies ....😊

Yeah ... I'm hoping it was just a backwash for D3 today.

She has had a ❤️2❤️ with the school counsellor this afternoon, and is staying home from the sports carnival tomorrow while it gets washed out ..... so hooefully after a long weekend and a no-start for the school start, she will get her legs back under her and finish her schooling. It's my last year of high-school-baby-dragons ❣

Just threw dinner ingredients at the stockpot. Wish someone was cooking for me tonight @Shaz51 .... enjoy being with your daughter .... dinner is a bonus ❣

My WH just missed his plane .... so I'm having a coffee .... it's going to be a late night cos he's coming in on the next flight just before midnight ....

Guess peak-hour traffic is not aligning with The Regimen too well .... sigh ....

D1 is coming with me to pick him up. It's raining and cold, so I will be glad of the company.

What's everyone else doing tonight ? What's for dinner at your house ?

🌷❤️

P.S. I hope you get to have a wonderful break @Former-Member ...

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope. Pasta tonight - nothing flash. More of a fill-your-tummy than a delight-your-tastebuds meal. Plenty of eating out opportunities coming up so something a bit naff at home won't hurt.

Hope you get home with your hubby safely
