Anyone still awake and want to chat about random stuff

[Idontkowmyname]

I’m still awake, Dh and the Dc all sound. Just can’t switch off and sleep. Anyone else about?

Site stuff?

Report the thread?

I'm knackered but my 7 week old needs to be upright for an hour after each feed else he just refluxes it all back so I am up and baby is asleep on me. At 56, I am too old to be awake at this time but at least baby's withdrawal symptoms are much less (I am a fosterer).

I was asleep then DH went for a pee got back to bed (crash) woke me up and now I’m farty and starving! ☹️ I’m dieting ☹️ Chucked him into spare room just eaten an apple 🍎. 2 troublesome teens in house too - woe is me woe is me! 7 week old baby upthread - respect! X

7 weeks is very adorable- surely you can forgive a lot with cuteness?! X

Went mad in the greengrocers. Beautiful bowl full of fruit now. Good thing dds home tomorrow, as I have a suspicion that I do not want to eat the fruit now I’ve bought it.

Still awake, thanks for keeping me company

Meh. I’m going to log out soon. I have a couple of weird and wonderful go-to-sleep visuals that I’d like to share and often work for me. First one, being in a very cosy cabin bed on a ship in a force 7 storm (works well if it’s a bit blown outside). Next one, being on a cabin on a sleeper train (watch a you tube of Penzance sleeper) - love it. Hope these help! Night all!

Still wide awake! Been watching clips of Dr Phil on YouTube - terrible, terrible TV but it’s like an itch I just have to keep scratching - but even that can’t put me to sleep tonight. Probably due to the snooze I had at teatime - oops!

Am being kept awake by pain. Grump.

Pain from [Immortal] Sinus Infection caused by NJ tube that’s been meant to be being changed since October (am reaching point where think I’m going to have to complain to PALS about ongoing Epic Fail of Gastro Team, maybe looping back to my ending up spending most of the summer in hospital - after starting to lose my vision from malnutrition & my body eventually crashing totally - which could probably have been avoided if they’d seen me as an outpatient ); pain from my ridiculous spine; & pain from where I had portacath inserted just before Christmas. Umph.

Sorry @Marie ...that is shit!

Got something important on tomorrow but can’t remember what?! Blooming tonnes of burglaries round us ATM and actually that is keeping me awake frequently ☹️

Christmas for us was a bit of a meh event. I stopped really caring too much about Christmas a long time back - but this year we had an anniversary of a tragic death, the dog got hospitalised on NYE having eaten a foreign object, DS16 got jilted and DH wanted a dry Xmas - so it’s been fun fun fun all the way! I can’t wait for everyone to go back to school & work now! 😀

I can't sleep either. Not sure why I didn't get off to begin with, but now I kee0 going over a bit of a stressful situation where I'm feeling a bit cornered/ manipulated. I've got ages to sort it out though and will talk to a counsellor about it next week, so not sure why I can't just put it aside for now. I am actually really tired so don't know why I can't drop off. I've even got up and put away some washing!

@Sprout - least you’re aware of what’s happening and will make a plan, that’s a start. Horrid being manipulated. I’ve eaten an apple but I’m still bloody hungry! ☹️ On day 3 of ketogenic diet and ravenous. Was fine till DH woke me! ☹️ Can’t go binge as will set off burglar alarm.

I have been known to have more fun but I shouldn’t be so whiny... once portacath heals up will be awesome because bloods & IVs can happen without people stabbing me a billionty times & still failing and I need to Woman Up about Gastro Team because I have an actual life I wish to lead & need them to be less shite in order for that to happen: is clear that’s not about to happen spontaneously so need to Advocate For Myself.

Have you tomorrow’s plans written anywhere Tinkobell? Even if you’ve not put them in your phone/diary/calendar might you have scribbled them down somewhere? Not surprised that lots of recent local burglaries is something that keeps you awake: is the sort of thing that plays on your mind & makes any odd noise seem scary.

Gawd. Just remembered I’m seeing my counsellor tomorrow (trauma of 2019) I’m going to be bloody wrecked! Going to lie on growling stomachs thick of the lovely fat being quietly burned and try and catch some zzzzz otherwise she’ll take one look and not get me off her books! 😀

@MarieVanGoethem 💐 I hope your pain eases. To do list downstairs! Burglar alarm on - oops!

Morning all.

Have strep throat and was prescribed steroids alongside antibiotics . I took the steroids late afternoon so I think that's what has me wide awake !

Wheezy toddler and almost 5yo just puked.

Thought 2020 would be kinder to us with illness but obviously not.

My almost 5yo was ravaged during her first term (reception).... despite doing a year full time in preschool.

My stomach now feels all funny. I'm an emetophobe though so puking kids have that effect on me. Oddly enough I had her in with me, and had a bucket handy. So not too much mess.

She looks ready to go again soon though - not envy!!

Buckled . Stomach going mad. Went downstairs disabled alarm and eating tub of cottage cheese listening to The Scorpions Gorky Park song.....also cheesy. Sorry for those with sick kids. I remember it well. Particularly one traumatic night spent with a knife extracting chunks of regurgitated Hipp Spaghetti Bolognese from between our floor boards! 😋 Moments like that when I wondered why on earth I'd ever had kids!

I’m awake on holiday in Tenerife.

Hope seeing your counsellor goes ok. Having something to eat if you’re feeling vvv hungry = sensible: no point adding that wretched feeling onto being awake at silly o’clock!

sashh
Not that I’m suggestible or anything, but I now really want some toast...

nobodyputsbabyinthecorner
Eep! Yeah, there’s a reason they say to take prednisolone in the morning: commiserations for the steroid!bounce...

Oh no - the poor wee dotes... & poor you, too... I do all the first aid/health stuff at my Brownie Unit apart from dealing with vomit. That’s one for my Assistant Leader. Because (as you say, not envy...)
