The Nighthawk Thread

I'm a definite Nighthawk - even as a kid - which is why I worked the night shift most of my Nursing career. I worked evening shift for only a year and a half then went back to nights. Even before I graduated and became a nurse, I was always up 'til at least 1 am. It was unfortunately a hugh source of friction between my Ex (who was a definite day person) throughout our marriage. I tried once to accommodate him by going to bed when he did (around 8 - or even earlier), but I could never go to sleep until very late so I never got up any earlier. I finally gave it up after a couple of months.
 

Good morning, no doubt all our news services will be: "The Prime Minister Resigns." I should imagine that the gutter press will dream up headlines like: "All Trussed Up!" And such like. It will go over my head, leave it for the news junkies. I'm off to work now, I'll be around later, might even get time for a haircut. Enjoy your day.

Yep, big news but it is all over my head as I have not followed it. I do know you all need a strong leader that can help your country find balance, just like us!!
 

Sorry, I just read your message on another thread and see you don't want to talk. Hope you have a good night, thinking of you!
 
Well about 3:30 am starting to feel sleep coming on with a little help of the liquid variety, I hope everyone had a great day. Sleep well, see you tomorrow!!

12 midnight. Gotta hit the sack. Been watching old doo wop videos on You Tube. Never get sick of those old songs.

Since my wife and me both retired we have found that we have gradually been going to bed later and later.

it has now got to the stage where it is now never before eleven thirty pm to midnight as we are always binge-watching some or other.

The lights throughout the house are wifi smart and are set to gradually go out over a fifteen-minute period from eleven thirty onwards. Sadly I have to admit that we are often sat there still binge-watching in entire darkness at midnight. šŸ˜‚

Last night it was yet another re-run of Boardwalk Empire on Now TV

Just checking in. I won at Scrabble tonight against my two buddies. I formed the word 'zest' on a triple for 69 points which put me over the top!. We actually have a small, gold plastic trophy which we pass to the winner each time.

And what are you up to at this late hour?
 
I swore I'd never get a tattoo, but I'm going to get one.

It'll be of my late brother's beautiful golf swing and follow through. It'll go on my upper arm. Bro took his own life last December. He had a mysterious illness...then medication screwed him up and he made a poor decision. I miss him dearly.
 
It's weird.

I always thought I'd be the first to go in my family. I'm getting pumped every 3 weeks with Abilify injections for my affliction...can't be good for me at all in the long run.

Oh well, every day is a blessing I gather. Today was a remarkable afternoon. I went over to my 85 year old Dad's and helped him rake leaves from the yard. I was in shorts and a t-shirt...just a wonderfully refreshing Fall day!
 
As a boy I'd always stay up late with my Dad to watch The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

I was forever a wreck at school the next day but Dad and I really bonded during this activity. He would roar with laughter at all of the corny jokes. I have great memories of this, and I've retained that sense of humour which has kept me in good stead socially over the years.
 
11:48pm

C'mon folks! This is the Nighthawk thread! Let's all get drunk and naked and throw stuff!!!

(Of course we'll all sheepishly regret it when the daily posters read about our cheeky behaviour tomorrow.) ;)
 
But sheriously, I've been battling Covid all week.

Feels like a truck is parked on my chest. I'll have isolated for 5 days this Thursday...then back to work wearing a mask for another 5 days.
 
Well 3:30 am, went to bed at midnight. I am really trying to fix this. Just tossed and turned. So, here we are up again. Not going crazy but did have some pork rinds!! Exciting stuff, sorry you are sick, feel better. I still have not had covid, knock on wood.
 
You're not alone, most mornings I am up at four-forty-five to be into work by six am. Usually there isn't enough time to go online and although I have a so called, smart phone, it's too smart for me, never have been able to work out how it connects to the internet. Not that I am bothered. Today and for the rest of the week, I am on annual leave, trouble is, my body clock doesn't know that.

I am up! All 3 dog are sleeping, two on the couch next to me, the big boy at my feet. I went to the doctor yesterday and have a new sleeping pill to try but I kind of want to wait until I feel like sleeping. Crazy right?
