Why are you up at 5am and what are you up to?

[Hoglet70]

I have an annoying Puppy and I'm watching yesterday's Coronation Street.

The weather is beautiful today.... A bit breezy but good temperature and I have left my rain jacket at home. Have a lovely day out.

Booked a last minute night away tonight and haven't packed and was too exhausted to do it before bed as just came off a stupidly long run of shifts 12 in 13 days plus an intense training day. So just getting overnight bag ready!

In A&E, where I've been for the past 48 hours with an infection. Finally got a trolley to lie on late last night while they try and get a bed on a ward. Sat up in the waiting room until then. It's been hellish.

Haven't had a shower or a proper meal since I got here. Much better off than some poor people lying around me though. I'm missing my little DD and wanting to go home 😢

@MessyNeate I hope your baby makes a speedy recovery. Cannot imagine what you are going through.

I think she is working and clicking off 7.30! But hope the baby is ok but I don’t think it’s the poster’s child

She is a nightshift nurse finishing 7.30

Sweetheart ... You are in the right place to start getting treatment. I hope you get your results quickly so you don't have the added worry of no knowing.

Sounds like you need time away from work. Take it. You’ll never give yourself permission but it’s what you should do. It’ll make a big difference.

Up since 3am worried about money, my health, the new job I've started, DDs friendships at school, the prospect of being homeless in 5 months. I'm tired. Alarm in 1 hour.

Opppps.... I hope she has an uneventful shift in that case.

About to disconnect my washing machine ready for a new one to be delivered for 7am!

I’ve just got back from 3 weeks away and have jet lag. I was awake at 3.30am and am now starving as it’s nearly ‘lunchtime’.

Soooooooverthisnow
Nooooo is your husband not capable of cleaning up shit? 🙄

One of the cats sat on me at 4:40 and wanted breakfast. Which then reminded me I needed a wee, the cold landing woke me up. So I fed the cats, made a lovely coffee and went back to bed and am watching Motherland back to back and pausing it at the cringy bits to catch up on Mumsnet.

edited to add, sorry for all those above who are having a rotten time, didn’t read them until I’d posted and my early wake up seems trivial in comparison. Hope you all sleep better tonight.

I met someone last night who I hadn't seen for 10 years, before I took early retirement. She couldn't get over how young I looked! Obviously the NHS had been wearing me down. I had struggled with what to do but honestly, leaving early and managing on less money for a while was the best thing ever for my mental health.

@Unescorted not my baby I'm a nicu nurse

Flying to Indonesia for a diving holiday.

My DH has been rattling around since half 4 getting ready for his shift (security industry). Once he's awake I'm normally awake too. I'm going to start getting the school uniform sorted and put washing on as we have a busy weekend coming up.

I hope everyone who is suffering with pain, has a speedy recovery 🙏

I have insomnia and it's driving me up the wall,on sleeping tablets but they don't work and I'm already chronically ill and I know the not sleeping is only going to make it worse.

I've been flitting between here,fb,the news online and Christmas shopping.

Gym before work

First of all my cat woke me up at 4am by knocking my lamp off my bedside table during early morning zoomies. A regular occurrence. Kevin doesn’t understand the importance of an undisturbed sleep.

I managed to doze off and was woken up again at 4:45 by my rabbit thumping. Upon investigation, his issue was that he had tipped his hay basket over and it was covering one of his water bowls.

Hard work being a mother of 2 under 2.

I have a baby DS who enjoys getting up at this time for the day so here we are

Sending best wishes and a hug @Flibberdigibbit

Was up at 5.15, also with a puppy. Pee and a whine to get up, but managed another hour. She’s so cute but I’m counting down her puppy days 😩.

Nothing compared to some of you here but I've been awake for a while feeling very sad.

We had to have our 16 year old cat to sleep on Tuesday night after she was diagnosed with cancer and clearly in a lot of pain. We cleared all her things out yesterday as it was upsetting to see them around the house.

I dreamed about her and could hear her miaowing and haven't been able to sleep since. I'm just so sad and miss her
