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 @Determined

I know it can be easier said than done but for now take it moment to moment living one day at a time. Doing your best in the day and going with the flow - let worry go with that. All will work out - keeping reassuring yourself moment by moment. Before sleep listen, watch or think about something that relaxes and then go with the exhaustion. Fill your mind with nice thoughts of the future - let the rest go for awhile as tomorrow will take care of itself. Sweet dreams.

I'm in the coffee shop (surprise, surprise) and from where I sit the world is all glittering diamonds ...... it has been raining cats and dogs overnight ...... the world is drenched ..... and the sun has just come out lighting up every drop of water hanging on everything everywhere ....... breath-taking ..... ❣️

Thanks @soul ...... fully intend to do that ..... lol ......

Just last 8am here. All dragons sleeping at home, including the big one. It was pouring rain at the time he would ordinarily have been out jogging in it ...... he's slowing down.

I have definitely slowed down ..... time to smell some rain-drenched roses and jump in puddles.

Very poetic @Faith-and-Hope

Is hello goodbye from me. I'm heading up to the parent's place for a week again. I may have occasional internet, or maybe not... Need to pack tonight, a bit knotted up about it. I find the visits hard.

All the best for the weekend Determined. Hope it goes well.

Evening all,

Time for a big mug of chamomile tea before bed. Was planning on doing some work once the little people were in bed but past the point of cognition I think. Best rest up and try again tomorrow. Got some choc ice creams in the freezer I might try while the hungry ones aren't watching lol...
