Awake- why are you?

[Stressedgiraffe]

I'm awake again not be able to get to sleep. I'm away for work so in a hotel. Nice hotel but my next door neighbour are celebrating something loudly.
Why are you awake?

Feeling envious
1 that you’re in Australia …… are you very rural?
2 That your dgd got to see a GP.
However don’t you get emergency treatment for free but GPs you pay for.? Im guessing if we paid here we’d get an appointment straight away.(I did once and the reception area was carpeted and I was given a coffee and biscuits, lovely ).

Best of luck @ICanDoThis2024

Aww @freckletwin I lost my woofer boy at the beginning of June. The day times are getting easier to handle although I still have the odd stab in the chest moments (having my other dog helps) but the nights are still hard, instead of those half awake dreams where you're falling I'm back in the room with him 😥

I'm awake because DH has PTSD that gives him nightmares he has to really wake himself up out of. So we've had a coffee and cuddle with DDog2 (who is DDog1 now I guess) and I can't face trying to sleep again. The sleep is OK but the getting there is hardwork.

@MooFroo ha ha, we love a logical response here on MN!
I was wakened an hour ago with reassuring text messages
from family in the Caribbean with little videos, then had to rise for
the obligatory wee and glass of water, now fighting hunger pangs
and wondering what I can have to eat, wish I had replaced my
emergency cans of soup, easy to digest.
What does anyone else eat in the early hours, do you fridge raid?
I have nutty muesli but its like chomping through the fabric of my
house and makes my jaws ache
or mug Ovaltine maybe?
I want tea and toast really - this is @CalicoPusscat fault.

@ICanDoThis2024 good luck tomorrow do not be wavering

Oh no I'm enticing people towards kettles and snax 😱

@CalicoPusscat temptress of the nighttime cuppa

Is it to late for a coffee 🤔

Is it to late for a coffee 🤔

Never, I've just brewed a fresh pot.

Up here due to a combination of needing painkillers for my Rheumatoid Arthritis and being a bit out of sorts.

Out of sorts as we had a redundancy in the team today and it's horrible. All of us were at risk, but I was pretty sure it wouldn't be me, but everyone found out today if they were going or staying.

We don't know for sure who it is that's going yet, but, well sure we actually do. It's a mix of relief and feeling really sorry for the one going.

I'll settle over the next few days, but hasn't been nice at all.

Yep I’m on my fourth biscuit and eyeing up a left over piece of cheesecake in the fridge now.

I brush my teeth and it seems to stop me eating , because i then have to go back upstairs to brush them again

Buuuuuut, its nearly breakfast time anyway right? 😂

I'm awake as I am sitting in A&E waiting for results of a second blood test on which depends a decision to admit me to cardiology unit or not. I have been here since 10pm yesterday.

@HelpMeGetThrough I had coffee too 🙂 Hope painkillers act swiftly.

@Zippedeedooda 🤣 I only want savory at present so my biscuits are safe!

Oh no that's taking ages @Mischance, do you have things you need on you if you're admitted?

Currently feeding newborn as I'm kicked in the back by my toddler (should be in his own room but 'D'H is taking his sweet time in painting and decorating it) as my DH sleeps on the sofa. I don't even know how I'm still coherent.

but I’ve finished the cheese and crackers already
I decided on Monday to try the starve yourself for 17 hours a day thing to raise my keto level ( or whatever ) and starve off bugs and diseases
This is literally my first night and I come on here am
Wham
@CalicoPusscat ! mentions food 😳

I have Covid and feel dreadful. The birds are starting to wake up and I'm wondering how I'm going to get through the day.

I'm cuddling my beautiful baby who is a month old ❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations to those of you with newborn babies ❤️
Hugs to those that need them.

I'm awake with a very sore throat that started yesterday. I've maxed out on paracetamol until 06.45. Going to look for ibuprofen shortly. I drank too much tea last night so I've rather been awake with my throat or needing a pee about 3 times tonight.

I just ate a ham sandwich and monster munch... tbh we actually need to go shopping 🤣

I’m up with the most horrific period ever, never had one this bad before. Bleeding through pads every 2 or so hours 😪. Managed to get a small nap in around midnight but I woke for reasons you could imagine why. I’m dying to sleep but I know i’ll wake up to a mess if I do. Genuinely do not what to do as never had a cycle this bad before!

Feeding my 3 week old ... exhausted

I am on holiday by myself in Spain. It was a super last minute decision and I only booked it two hours before I flew yesterday afternoon so had to get whatever accommodation I could find.

I'm in a bit of a cheap party place and people have just rolled in from a night out and are now shagging loudly.

It's still dark here (no idea it got light so late here) but when it's light I'm going to get up and find a bakery and start my holiday.

Are you away for a week?

It's getting lighter outside quite rapidly

Please have a look through, I hope you get out and life is happier for you

Oh, I feel your pain. I'm due on my period any day now (just to top my current Covid woes off!) and the first 3 days are so bad. I have resorted to wearing incontinence pads to stop some of the leaking.

Just been to make a cuppa and piece of toast with Marmite on to get rid of the nasty taste on my mouth 🤢

I’m 5 weeks post breakup. Stupidly had a bottle of wine last night and slept on the sofa, came to bed around 3.30 but can’t sleep, got up, had a cry, sat in the garden and made a brew.

Sending ❤️ to all who are up and about for whatever reason.
