Just driven 5 hours home from Cornwall and got the kids to bed, I can never just go to bed though without a bit of 'me time'!

Because the streetlight out side of my bedroom window has been changed to an LED one and is so bright I can read a book without turning my bedroom light on. It used to be a warm orange glow, now it's a harsh white light.

Furloughed and pregnant.

On a nightshift here too ... 8 hours (and counting!) to go!

linmanuel · 16/08/2020 00:40

Not sure really. Bit of fretting I suppose

Hurt over family.
Fed up of being singled out, no one really bothers with my child and it has got worse now a new arrival came along a few months ago.
Fed up of family licking each others arses and supporting each other but always forget about me and my little family. If I bring the subject up I'm the one in the wrong all the time.

Insomnia. Never been a good sleeper. Podcasts aren't working so may go and have a slice of toast and try again.

DeltaAlphaDelta · 16/08/2020 00:43

I usually work weekends (door supervisor)but had no work since march, altho day job is ok. Am half pissed and watching films 🍹😀

CorianderLord · 16/08/2020 00:43

I'm away for a staycation and drinking red wine

Brot64 · 16/08/2020 00:45

Usual insomnia and Netflix. Only time I get to watch anything alone.

fartyface · 16/08/2020 00:46

Feeling sick. In our caravan.

Was wondering if it was the gas so woke dh up to turn it off. More likely is related to the massive pizza I ate earlier. Hoping I am not going to chuck as it will be hard to exit easily and quietly.

Trying to remove a splinter from ds. He keeps kicking in his sleep when I nearly have it.

therhubarbbrothers · 16/08/2020 00:47

Because I'm on holiday and don't have to get up early

I’ve just got home from work (hospitality) and am back in at 11, so am just chilling out having a nightcap 🥂 whist my foot cream soaks into my poor tired feet Smile

Frownette · 16/08/2020 00:49

Oh yikes @colouringindoors is it starting to dissipate? Does it hurt? I always feel exhausted after that.

I'm up fending off nicotine withdrawal. Feels very trainspotting, sweats (though that might be the weather), bad nightmares (though that might be just a nightmare), lack of focus (though that might be standard).

If the worst comes to the worst there's a 24 hour garage nearby.

Snowpatrolling · 16/08/2020 00:51

Because I have the mother of all ear infections and I’m in agony. :(

colouringindoors · 16/08/2020 00:52

thanks v much frownette it is at last slowing down. Awful day.

Keep yr strength up re the nicotine withdrawal - best of luck

peakygal · 16/08/2020 00:54

Because I'm mooning over pics of Tom Hardy oh and its warm 😂

Fretting about the gcse results on Thursday -obvs not my results but DC. The 97% algorithm headlines plastered all over the news isn't helping me

stepmumSW5 · 16/08/2020 00:57

Because I'm watching The Hills new beginnings (judge me)

hotstepper4 · 16/08/2020 01:05

Because I have sore feet, I've had them for a couple weeks, sore burning feet. God knows why. Them combined with my tinnitus keeps me awake. My health is god forsaken, it's a curse ☹️

NoDarling · 16/08/2020 01:09

I'm awake because my day has gone so fast, my body does not know it's bed time. Nothing exciting, just gone fast.

I had a nice bubble bath earlier but now don't feel relaxed. Also I have just remembered, I put some washing out on the line this morning and it's still out there! It's raining. Envy

I'm also hot, got fan on but DH is like a fucking heater. I'm the other side of the bed and still feel the heat coming off him. Thinking of getting up and sitting downstairs with the TV on. Brew

babydisney · 16/08/2020 01:22

@deltaalphadelta love the honesty 🤣

DramaAlpaca · 16/08/2020 01:36

Because I'm a night owl and usually awake at this hour. Right now I'm watching TV with a nice glass of wine.
