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.

☕️

Nice to meet you guys!
A van sounds like a great idea. I have toured new Zealand and Tasmania in wicked campers before. It's great fun.

I don't usually make it to zero but if I do I go back to the beginning. It's just a trick to occupy your mind I guess... Stops you thinking and makes you do some maths (which I'm not very good at)

Great places to go touring @Strugglingsis96. So much diversity of landscape. Did you go with a group of people?

Still waiting on your image from the other page @soul ..... 😊

This is is a bit of a fly-by .... I am up and painting my competition piece and it's calling me, but I will be back later.

S2's appointment went well. He has been put on a mild anti-depressant. A proper diagnosis hasn't yet been made, but I'm hearing things like "mild OCD tendencies, perfectionist tendencies causing unrealistic goal-setting, generalised anxiety" .... so nothing too scary at the moment, but I am sure WH won't like hearing any of that because it will be pressing his own buttons .... especially the lay-off-the-perfectionism-expectations ....

The pdoc didn't allow WH into the apt which will have rattled him too .... and after seeing S2 by himself again he wants to see WH and me .....

Hmmmm ..... this is going to be interesting, even if it doesn't get WH diagnosed yet .... I suspect he will be starting to become nervous about his own situation.

Catch y'all later ......

Looking forward to seeing the completed work @Faith-and-Hope. I am off to take my pooch for a walk. I find that lots of exercise helps me sleep better. Literally wearing myself out. Catch you all another time @Strugglingsis96@outlander@Pollywaffle72

@Strugglingsis96 - sounds amazing and peaceful. I love horror films but have no one to watch it with. Though there is one horror film that has scarred me and given me the fear of clowns....not sure if you can guess which one it is. It is a really old one!

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

It! It is a very scary movie. If I ever lost a ball down a drain I never chased after it Hehe
The last one that scared me was conjuring 2. I watch it with a pillow in front of it the whole time.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

You got that right @Strugglingsis96 - i watched it over and over again when I was like 8 i think. Maybe younger. I don't remember. Oh I did not mind the conjuring 2 to be honest but yes it is rather scary.
