I didn't start cooking until really late and did a very healthy casserole rather than the easier option of cheese on toast.

Watching love rats on Netflix with a cup of tea 🐀🐀🐀 (can't find a rat emoji)

@TheCentreCannotHold I wrote a mildly rude comment in response to that lovely thread and it was deleted. Blush

@yasminandtheredrose I wish I could help but I've no experience to offer.

I'm up because I was at a quiz with DH and our team won, we have the spoils to consume.

Watching The Handmaid’s Tale from the start again, patiently waiting for the next series.

Was so tired that I went to bed at 9:30pm, then woke three hours later, so here I am. My teenage DD is going through a tough time, so that’s praying on my mind.

I have a new job that's very male-dominated and had training today. When I opened my computer at home, I saw one of the work guys had taking it upon himself to do the important part of my job on his "authority", which he does not have.
So I worked until now to make sure I finalized and stamped my own version of it.
I am hating the pissing dog territoriality that comes with this job, but I'll be damned if I let that shite stand.

I'm on my break. Night shift tonight

Wallawallakoala · 20/09/2024 01:50

Baddddd anxiety lots going on and brain won’t stop whirring through different things and potential scenarios. Haven’t even done DC’s school bags though…

bluejellybelly · 20/09/2024 01:58

Im usually awake for a shit reason like anxiety or sleepless kids, but tonight me and dh stayed up like giddy teenagers 😍 I’ve been away for a few days so we had an at home date night once the kids were asleep, got a takeaway, watched a film, hung out…. 🙊 he’s just gone to sleep and I’m winding my busy mind down.

SanMarzano · 20/09/2024 02:00

I had a caffeinated coffee at lunchtime which I’m now deeply regretting

That is the worst!!

Loloj · 20/09/2024 02:14

I’ve woken up and now can’t get back to sleep - thoughts/stresses buzzing through my head. Just need to relax and fall back to sleep but now wide awake.

TeenLifeMum · 20/09/2024 00:37

I have a flight in the morning and need to be up at 5.15am… so I’m laying wide awake in bed worrying I won’t hear the alarm 🙄

I do the same thing!

ReadingSoManyThreads · 20/09/2024 02:23

2.20am I've just switched the TV off, was watching tonight's MAFS. On my laptop though, was researching CE marking for my business. So of course now, I can't switch off. Knew I shouldn't have started looking at that at 1.30am.

Will switch off laptop shortly though, if I can drag myself away from MN. Then I'll spend half an hour scrolling on my phone and going for a wee three times before finally trying to get to sleep in around an hour 😑

Oneearringlost · 20/09/2024 02:26

I woke up out of the blue with the hymn "Abide With Me"on the brain.
So I've just dug out my little old copy of Seven Little Australians where I first came across it...Heartbreaking..." Judy, Judy, don't die Judy", anyone remember?

Soonenough · 20/09/2024 02:32

Often just wake up for no reason. Usually it is at 4am. And always when I have a busy day tomorrow. Will be exhausted and cranky .

Whatsinaname6 · 20/09/2024 02:33

Fell asleep at 9:30-11:30pm, so my brain thinks I’m in work mode (night shift worker here)

24evergreen · 20/09/2024 02:35

My small DS has just woken up crying and he's not insisting I sit in his room while he falls back to sleep

BanksysSprayCan · 20/09/2024 02:35

I found out that a friend I have known for 30 years has died and I can’t stop thinking about her and how her poor kids are coping.

Started HRT About 3 weeks ago. It's giving me severe heart palpitations which is then causing me to have a panic attack.
I'm on my own with my disabled child, so I'm too scared to try and sleep
I'm on MN trying to take my mind off the panic.

So sorry you’re having problems with your HRT. I also started on HRT 3 weeks ago, spray and tablet, and I already feel it’s making a difference. I’m very post menopause though, but have had awful symptoms for over 20 years.
i hope it all settles down for you, or you can try another type of HRT if need be.

rosemarycait96 · 20/09/2024 02:37

29 weeks pregnant, husband away for work so on my own with 1 year old and dog. Got up for a wee at 1am. While I was trying to get back to sleep, the dog barked to be let out for a poo at 1:35. Got back into bed and I can't get back to sleep for the life of me. Got to be up at 6. Cranky. Pregnancy insomnia can get in the bin!

BanksysSprayCan · 20/09/2024 02:37

So many reasons to be awake. Wishing us all easy days tomorrow
