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.

Frappe for me too please.

Spent the afternoon returning our second son home, then driving our youngest daughter to visit a friend who lives about 1 1/2 hours away frem our place. We met with her friend's mum at a rendezvous point one hour away from us... she'll probably stay for at least a week, maybe longer, so we've got the house to ourselves.

As much as we love our kids, I suspect a bit of quiet might be very good for us at the moment. Now if all the assorted possible crises could please hold off while we get our recovery time!

About to get dinner... reheated roast sounds easy and tasty, yes?

Sort of an ongoing resolution... to get the veggie garden back up to speed, and to declutter the house. Preferably by rehoming and reusing. We've got a bit of a personal "war on waste" thingy happening here.

Getting out in the garden does me a lot of good, and decluttering the stuff that we don't really enjoy will hopefully make space to bring in some of the more treasured things that need to be removed from my parents' home. Among them a pianola and 200+ rolls that used to be my Grandmother's. Some very special memories around those.

Yum and easy for sure @Smc

Dont worry @Former-Member you just do the best you can ❤

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi @Smc
Hoping you can declutter enough to get pianola in.

@outlander
I do have some things I am working on very slowly. We might try and get away for our wedding anniversary, am hoping that will be a goer.

Not really here either .... I feel like I have been flung out of the apple cart. We are relocating to rescue our son, but it is takig away all my support people and systems, my paintings, my garden, my dolphins, my church ..... I’m going over east and having to start my life over again .... without the stuffing to do so .....

Stepping out in faith that life will find me ..... so maybe that is my resolution ..... to rest in faith and see what comes.
