I'll go first. THE RAIN

Our bedroom is an attic conversation and my said of the bed is partly underneath a skylight. It's like trying to sleep inside a drum!

Stress.

Rain is definitely keeping me awake too but I was watching a series on Netflix and only came to bed half an hour ago

spikeandbuffy · 23/09/2024 02:19

Stressed and anxious about work

Stalking DC on 360 and can't sleep I can do is safely back in halls.

My dog is being very unsettled. She refused to go out tonight because it was getting dark and she’s frightened of fireworks. She’s been whining on and off all night but not brave enough to go outside to pee despite cajoling so I have driven her to the park round the corner where she has eventually toileted and just got back and come up to bed. I expect the baby will wake again soon!

I'm away from the UK and it's not bedtime here yet.

Sadly returning tomorrow though. So then i'll be awake with jet lag.

Thinking about bizarre recent behaviour from someone i had considered to be a friend and how to manage it as a result.. behaviour was deal breaking and very weird but not noticed by others so its hard to work out why and how to address it. Keeping me awake!

DryBiscuit · 23/09/2024 02:24

Iv had neck pain (top of spine) since yesterday and today upper thigh pain which has gradually got worse that now i cant weight bear on that leg so getting comfortable is impossible

Fun times

Has he just left for uni? Does he have any SEN?
If not I really think you should switch that off. You'll drive yourself mad and he needs to find his independence without your oversight. Uni is great for offering this in short bursts that first year.

Feeling ill.

Are you tempted to cut ties?

Someone once said something so cruel to me by email that I immediately dropped the friendship but didn't 'do' anything about it IYSWIM. We were in a group and I made myself unavailable for anything that involved seeing her in a group of less than 4

I also replied to the email but ignored the hurtful statement and never mentioned it. Couldn't be arsed with drama but they unmasked themselves that day and I was done

Pain, had surgery start of the year waiting for more surgery, making healing from the first surgery slower than it should have been

The bloody dog barking in the night for no reason. I shut him out of the living room because he did it last night too but now he's barking in the kitchen. Bloody stupid dog.
