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.

Thanks @Catcakes .....

He and his wife have mi issues and are carers for each other ..... so glad he has found her after two previously harmful relationships.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

That sounds like they are doing well together @Faith-and-Hope.
Does anyone else support them?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

They have their own counsellor supports @Catcakes, and a warm set of friends around them who love them very much.

I am thankful for that too, as I can’t be here for them. Same with my Dad and sister. Because we are going over east, I spoke with a family friend in my Dad’s town last week, just creating more of a backstop, because it will take me two flights and a day’s travel to reach them in any sort of emergency from now on .... and my brother too.

@Faith-and-Hope, I've had times when my parents and our daughter have both been in a "needy" state, but 400 kms apart. Since I travel by train, that's a full day's trip, so even though the distance is less, I know the feeling...

Morning all. Something with a bit of kick for me please.

I invited all to come have morning tea, I hope you like, "Vanilla Matcha Latte"?.....This one is delicious, & full of antioxidents. I love it, its delicious as ice-cream too!.......My shout, if you don't want Matcha Tea just have anything you like, this is so much fun to have a tea party, I never get to do that. Here in Forum the sky is the limit so to speak!

I understand that feeling @Faith-and-Hope.
The first year in China, my Mum has a second bout with breast cancer, had surgery and got pneumonia. I flew home and looked after her for a few weeks but it was hard being so far away from her and my three older kids.

I don't have any hot chocolate and it's a bit too hot where I live to drink tea but I did make muffins to cheer myself up today

Triple chocolate 🙂 I've heard chocolate is a great way to get through a break up
