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.

☕️

LoL @Smc my darling has offered to do it for me 😲😲😲

Ummm , no I think I can manage.

I agree with the time and energy required, I have the time but not the energy (emotional or physical).

It has been a chilly overcast day today which has not helped any.

Try again on Saturday.

Haha @Shaz51,

I have a desk but cant currently see it.

I cheated a little when cleaning the bedroom and put a lot of stuff in the office for later. Mostly on and around my desk.

May light a fire on the weekend if weather permits, lots of paper and books to get rid of.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Shaz51; my desk is currently too stacked full to use as a desk. There's a mixure of defunct paperwork, non-defunct paperwork, gift wrapping oddments, craft oddments, art materials, books that I've brought back from my parents' house... most of that list is "keepers", but if I could get it into order, they'd be treasures instead of clutter. So much wanna do it....

@Former-Member, thanks. Have come down with a cold, so it's a temporary setback. It's probably your basic viral bug that spends the first few days wiping you out, then settles down to a sniffle and cough that go away after a week or two. So I'm hoping to be feeling better in the next day or two.

I've never actually tried chai latte. I do like putting some nutmeg into a hot choc, but I tend to have my coffee au naturel.

I am hearing boxes @Smc re your desk .... maybe some cardboard boxes from Bunnings t categorise everything, then go through them one at a top me ?

I fin that helpful, cos then whatever is left in the box can go into a different sort of box from Bunnings .... lol ....

When we had a household meltdown, one of many, I became Queen of Archive Boxes ..... sorted the whole house into archive boxes basically, but i5 helped me to identify what belonged in which room, and what sort of furniture it needed to be housed in ....

Still can’t quite believe how I did that .....

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes on reflection that was not worded very well @Faith-and-Hope

I can assure you the fire will most definatly be outside.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I’m not sure where to post these thoughts but I guess it’s about my role as carer. I feel anxious and guilty about not going today.
I got lots done here so that’s a positive, dog got a nice walk, two beds changed, vacc, dust and shopped. But I still feel awful.
If I was allowed a drink, this is where it would fit....
Tomorrow I will go and see how she copes without me.
What else should I do?
