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 ?

I have some shopping, bought but not collected that I am thinking about walking to collect, with a shopping trolley.

I had a bit of a health “turn” last weekend. Didn’t say much while I had tests run ..... everything back clear but symptoms persisting a bit. Either a post viral fatigue, or another form of anxiety attack I haven’t experienced before, but I have been assured it’s nothing to fear, despite passing discomfort in the moment.

It has given me space within the family cos I have been very healthy, and it was wonderful to find that my health stats are still right up there - testament to all the walking I think - and nobody anticipated that I would take a h-it to my system ..... classic carer hazard.

So .... supporting my needs came to the forefront this week.

If I do go to collect the shopping it will be a meander. There is art gear amongst it, and some clothes that I could do with, besides the fact that they are in cheerful colours and designs.

You have such a lot on your plate @Faith-and-Hope, carer fatigue constantly hovers, very hard to keep it at bay.

When visiting Melbourne I loved going to the Queen Victoria Markets, food section, we went on the tour there ages ago which we enjoyed. I really enjoyed the Vietnamese shops along Victoria St, Richmond too, the Asian veg there heaps cheaper.
