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.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes @Former-Member, Holly is keeping very well actually. She really is a beautiful little dog. Hubby only a week ago came home after spending 3 weeks in hospital. During his long stay I managed to smuggle Holly into his hospital room for a visit at one stage. Both hubby and Holly were delighted about the reunion. And she was so good, a joyful greeting, then she just curled up on the bed next to him and was quiet as a little mouse. I take her to the nursing home I do my volunteer visiting at sometimes too, so she is used to hospital situations. Never any problems. So although she wasnt officially allowed into the hospital to visit hubby, one of the nurses assisted our little smuggling act, so it was all good. And it definitely perked hubby up a bit afterwards.

Thats a lovely K9 story @Former-Member made me smile. Thanks

and YES @Former-Member. It is weird that one of our cats still tries it on with me re the door. He is the "outside" cat so I give him leeway as he is getting older and has to leap tall buildings if he uses the catflap which only goes out back to a small area... so its over the roof for him to get to his territory. He has been doing it for 15 years, but I guess it must be getting tougher for him. Whats reasonable cat behaviour??

Mea culpa mea culpa

Actually @PeppiPatty I am not used to associating schizophrenia with bossing people around behaviour .... its actually a bit unusual IMO.

What do others think??

Hi @Former-Member I still can't see your picture, it hasn't come through yet.

I love your avatar picture, by the way.

Being a horticulturist & a green thumb from way back - I always have a soft spot for flowers, especially orchids, roses, carnations & many others. And of course daisies...

Hmmmm, looks like its all quiet here tonight. It's 4.30am here, so I hope everyone is tucked up in bed and fast asleep. I will look elsewhere to see if anyone else is about at this ridiculous hour of night. Tiptoeing quietly back out the door .......... shhhhh.

Hoping you found someone to chat to.

@Appleblossom @Faith-and-Hope @Adge finding the time zones challenging.

Hope you all have a blessed day.

Good morning everyone ..... 💕☕️

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Former-Member, thanks but no I didnt find anybody else up last night. Not a problem, but it would have helped make the night seem a little less long. Ah yes, the time zones. Now that the East are all in daylight savings (other than QLD of course) there is a 3 hour difference between NSW, VIC, TAS and WA. QLD is an hour behind NSW. Are you doing anything special with your Sunday?

@Faith-and-Hope, good morning to you also. I've just finished lunch, sent hubby off to bed for a snooze, and am about to go lie down myself for a nanna nap. After a long and sleepless night last night, I sure do need some rest.

Hi to everyone else who drops in throughout the day.

Sherry
