All New Night Owls 🦉🌙 ☕️

Maya just in case you haven’t seen my replies on the CBD thread; that business about Omeprazole is just plain bunkum.
I don’t won’t you worrying about that on top of everything else!

I will be thinking of you Alioop. I hope that things go well for you today. Best wishes.
Oh Ginny l am terrified of the dentist, good luck.
Thanks Fanny, l know you have experienced what l am going through with Mr C.
Be positive is my motto today.
Take care and thank you all.

Oh Maya, my heart goes out to you. I know exactly what it’s like.
I’m glad that you had such a lovely day with your granddaughter.
I really hope that you get some positive news today x

I haven’t caught up with everyone’s news and musings yet, but I just wanted to wish Alioop all the very, very best for today x

Oh yes, it's today isn't it Alioop? Remember the deep breathing exercises to curb anxiety. I shall be doing them having a crown fitted at the dentist today. Best wishes all goes well.

Thank goodness for the children! Glad you had a lovely time with your DGD. So special to spend time together. My ex lived in the original family home till the end. My DGS asked me how it felt going back into that house. He's 14 and had realised that it may be very emotional for me bless him.

It actually feels very odd finding things which I bought 53 years ago!

Take care xx

Morning to you both. I've been lying for ages trying to doze off again but it isn't happening. Ginny that's awful you have been left to clear the house, why are some people so unkind. It's a huge task and so much for your neice and yourself to do alone. I'm sure it will be awful to see your DD go.
Maya it's lovely to hear you had a lovely time with your DGD, the 'bossy' part made me laugh.
Well, I think I might as well get up. Ivy is snoring away still, she must of been madly dreaming last night, she was yelping so badly I had to waken her. I hate listening to it. She's a rescue, a stray found on the streets in an awful state and I worry she dreams of the bad times. Silly I know, but I love her to bits. Well the day has arrived for my hospital appointment, I've my fingers and toes crossed all will be fine.
You both take care today.

Please don't apologise Ginny, it's nice to hear from you and others. I'm glad you have your neice to support you. It must be hard for you having your daughter so far away.
I'm lucky that my son is just up the road from me.
I looked after my Dgd last night to enable him and my ddil to visit my dh.l go in the afternoons. It was absolutely lovely to play babies and cooking.
She did get a little bossy but told me sorry grandma, l must be kinder.... bless her.

Morning Maya. Sorry for my bleating when you have so many worries. My niece is a great help and a cleaner I employ occasionally for a deep clean of my home is going to help me.

Acupuncture helps me a lot when I'm particularly stressed. I feel calm, I'm just awake. The birds are tuning up out there so dawn can't be far off.

Take good care of yourself. xx

Employ someone.

Morning Ginny, I'm awake too. I'm glad you were able to get some sleep. I have never had acupuncture but have heard good things about it.
I'm sure you will miss your daughter when she goes home and it is quite shocking that no one is willing to help you. Clearing a house is a huge job and you right to empty someone.
Take care.

Very early wake up again. Thought I would have a good sleep after acupuncture yesterday to calm me down. I do feel calm and the sleep I did manage was refreshing until 2.00 a.m.

My DD is flying home tomorrow as there is now a month's delay till the funeral. I am left to clear the house of my ex with no offers of help at all from his family members so far, although one of them stands to inherit quite a substantial sum. I shall be employing help.

Thank you both. I have just got back from walking Finny.
I saw my dog walking friends who have both been wonderful, both widows themselves.
Yes l am having easy meals, porridge, bananas, eggs etc.
I'm going call the hospital now for an update.
Take care all.

Morning to you both. Maya I'm sure you are so worried about your DH, he's going through so much, please look after yourself. I hope you and your daughter are doing ok and thanks again Ginny.

They're at work don't forget, so they will be caring for him. You're exhausted with worry. I hope you're managing to eat. If you can't be bothered to prepare a meal or simply can't face one, just have easy to swallow nutritious snacks through the day e.g. banana and some yogurt, soup and a cracker, egg on toast. Hugs xx

Thanks Ginny.
Yes you are right in everything you say. The doctors and nurses have been so kind.
I just feel so helpless.

Hello Maya. I'm here awake too. I know how anxious you must be about your DH. Perhaps he's disoriented from the medication he's on and that's why he falls. The antibiotics will work very quickly now. This is the worst time for you because someone else is in control of his care, but those who are nursing him will be doing their very best for him. Hugs xx

Morning everyone, wide awake here.
Unfortunately my DH has had 2 falls since l last spoke you all. He is on one to one nursing now. Plus intravenous antibiotics.
I am extremely worried.

Bless you Maya. So sorry you and your DH are going through this. xx

I'm sorry Alioop that you are so worried about Friday, it's natural isn't it. I hope everything is OK for you. I have conversations with Finn most nights when l get home from the hospital. It some how makes me feel better.
Sorry for your worries, Allsorts, its always worse at night. Especially when you cannot do anything about it. I am grateful to everyone here for just their support.
Oh Ginny, what a long wait for you and your DD, l hope you have support around you now.
We all seem to have Fanny on here, for which l am grateful.
My DH has taken a turn for the worse. He has Covid. He collapsed when try to get out of bed and l had to shout for help.
He is very confused again and his speech has been affected again.
I try to remain positive.
Thank you all you lovely people.

Morning everyone. I've lay resistng my phone hoping to drop off again, but it's not happening. I knew I'd be bad sleeping this week as I've a hospital appointment on Friday for the breast clinic after my GP referred me and I've myself so worried now, I sit having conversations with the dog about it!
Workmen always seem so busy now Maya, I hope you get sorted soon. I'm so sorry for your loss Ginny and what you and your daughter are going through.
Take care everyone and good luck Fanny with Gracie's eye drops today.

Welcome Allsorts. Sorry you're awake and worrying. Night time worry sessions are the worst.

Hope you feel a little better when daybreak comes. xx

Have been using Bach Rescue Remedy but will try the Sleep Rescue. Thank you for the tip FannyCornforth. I used to fly a lot for my job and used RR for take-off and landing when I would be most nervous, so I know it definitely works for anxiety.

Hello Allsorts I’m sorry that you’re having a bad night.
This time is the absolute worst for persistent thoughts.
It might sound silly, but I find that Bach Sleep Rescue Remedy helps. I have no idea how!
Thinking of Maya and Ginny

Just looking at new posts and saw this one. Good morning everyone, I've been awake for an hour and no chance going back to sleep, just three hours again tonight, my brain goes into over drive, worrying over something I can't alter, so silly.
Maya your wet room will be life changing when you get it, know it's so difficult getting workmen, like gold dust at the moment, it's so time consuming.
Hope you all manage to get some more sleep in.
