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 @Former-Member

I just read your post about your mother and your husband both having serious cancers

You have had a hard year and now all of this - and we are just past the middle of the year - how tough is all of this

It is hard to know how to respond - but I am glad you have come back to the Forum Family - we can support you in this journey if this is what you would like

My thoughts are with you

Good morning all

@Determined arrived safe, thanks, hope you get an item or two ticked off the holiday job list.
@Former-Member thoughts with you, is there carer support available for cancer patients?
@soul hope it is not raining so you get your morning stroll in
@Faith-and-Hope will catch up with how things went on your blog
@Shaz51 hoping you go OK - what day is your procedure?

Good morning @Former-Member - fine and cool here today. Got the morning walk in with a reluctant pooch. Some footpath renewal put her off - loud machinery and a detour. Never mind, she has all day to relax and recover.

Morning everyone .... 💕

@Former-Member ...hi ... sorry I didn't respond yesterday. I saw your post before I fell asleep, but I wanted to respond properly, and yesterday was a big day for me.

I am so sorry to hear that you have such big battles on again, or it would seem, ongoing. I agree with @Owlunar .... I am so glad to see you back here. You can cry on our shoulders any time, and we will cry with you, for you .... there is such incredible support just in lbeing able to let it all out .... just say how it is, and let all the big feelings wash over and around you. We are here for you .... ❤️

Good morning all, trust everyone is well.

Cold and almost frosty morning here. Ground was white but not quite a frost. No doubt there would have been a frost in lower areas. Nice day to be working outdoors which is great as I have some blocked drains to dig up (not so great 😨).

I am sure the pooch would not be happy if the walks were discontinued @soul

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Sounds like fun @Determined - not. Think of it as a workout.

@Former-Member - not sure if she would rather have a sleep in. She's more enthusiastic about her afternoon walk. In fact, if we walk at night, she even breaks in to a bit of a run at times.

Hi @Determined

Are you in Melbourne - it's a sunny morning here and cold and frosty too - with a lot of frost on the grass outside

Sunny day - great

Blocked drains - horrible

That is too much to say - "Have a nice day" - with that I am sure you have other plans

It's National Pecan Pie Day. Never too early for a slice. Enjoy - my friends.
