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.

Bub brought a biscuit into the bed room and gave it to my darling with a look of love and concern on his face. Melted my heart. Unfortunately darling went into a panic about him moving about the house with food. Has done a quick buzz around with the vacuum.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope
How is life in the fast lane?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Was a rather slow lane today @Former-Member. Kids aren't really surfacing much at all, and I can't do anything more about that than what I am already doing .... so it's back to waiting really.

Went on two walks, total of 12km .... got the basic housework done, and managed a shower this morning .... the appointment in the middle of the day was the only set commitment.

@Faith-and-Hope, Our hounds could really do with a walk, I am finding it too hard with work and the extra duties at he while Mr D incapacitated. I am soooo unfit and probably need the exercise more than the dogs.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I am going to have to scale back on the walking tomorrow @Former-Member .... have pushed this ligament strain again today, and have learnt through experience that that means taking rest time next .... So just the short cafe walk tomorrow. Busy day anyway, so the decision would have been made that way for me anyway .... lol ....

Its hard when the carer commitments crowd in again like that Darcy and you lose your own sense of equilibrium. I'm sorta making hay while the sun shines, cos ours is likely to turn again shortly.

Anyone you know who could walk them for you ? A teen after some pocket money perhaps ?

Thinking of you lots ....

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Oh no @Faith-and-Hope, hope the strain does not set you back too much.

The dogs are really quite lazy and are happy with a run in the paddock, now that it is starting to get lighter after work I might soon be able to take them weather permitting.

Getting late here, must get some shut eye, thanks for chatting.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yeah ... I'm starting to sag .... must get myself off to Bed Island shortly ... just parked up on Chair Island for the moment.

Goodnight @Former-Member ... sleep well .... 💜🌼
