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 @Faith-and-Hope et al.

Still in a kind of lurking mode. I need to sort out some unfamiliar finances for my Dad, and not exactly enjoying the challenge.

Daughter's going into a mental health clinic on Monday for a few weeks while she tries some new medication for depression. She's had emergency ward style reactions in the past so the general consensus is to play it safe. The clinic is a couple of hours drive away, but not too far from where my hubby's parents live, so we may be visiting both at once. We haven't seen his family for ages, because my travelling up to my parents has left me tired out. It'll be good to catch up with them.

@Shaz51 a flu survival kit for you

BUT unlike everyone else, no flu… I did get the immunisation, because I was going to be spending some time hanging around a nursing home.

Well done you @Smc re the flu vax .....

Good to see you 🤗💕

I hope it all goes well for your daughter's meds transition ..... and good that a circuit visit makes things easier than they might have been otherwise. I hope it can be a good day trip for you. I imagine it's beautiful country.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Well… we live in the beautiful country. The clinic unfortunately is near a major city road, and she's not looking forward to the relative noise levels and likelihood of less trees and bird life. We'll probably stay a few nights for a decent catch up with the parents-in-law and so that we fit in a few visits to her.
