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.

Getting there @Former-Member .... still taking things slowly but I expect it will have passed by tomorrow.

How are you doing m'lady ?

Hi @Ashleigh .... 👋 .... here is where we hang out a bit when we're looking for company.

I hope your daughter settles in quickly @Smc .... and produces some beautiful artwork while she is there.

Ohhh this flu has been a killer this year. I am still trying to kick it 3 weeks later. I just can't seem to shake it.

Feeling for you at the moment @Smc and trust everything goes well for you and family. My darling was 200km round trip away for her admission. Last 2 admissions (5 weeks total) I was unable to visit except for weekends and that was super hard for all of us.

Here is what I do to combat the flu ..... @Ashleigh

Rest

Drink lots of fluids

Chicken soup with egg and lemon (if you're vegetarian there will be an equivalent)

Rub Vicks on the soles of your feet, apply socks

Use a Vicks inhaler stick

If you have access to a European food store, Greek "mountain tea" has been famed since archaic times for its support of lung function and immunity.

Rest

Listen to beautiful music

@Faith-and-Hope had to walk the full bin up the road 1/2 km in the dark, only gets collected fortnightly, was missed last time.

Hello @Ashleigh do you have a fave drink for an evening cuppa?
