The daily chat topic that was started by one of our members sure has become popular.
Received a message this morning from a member asking for an April Daily Chat topic. So here it is.
Sorry about not being on here quite as much lately. Been in a lot of pain unable to do much of this. Doing a little better this morning.
Reading thru all the postings our member are leaving is such good medicine ain't it? We have so many 😄 willing to help one another 😄 members.
Wishing you all a pain free month of April.

Thanks DWB for setting up the April chat thread ... sorry to hear you have been in a lot of pain but glad it is a little better this morning.
It is another rainy day here ... mid 40's.
Have lots of stuff to list this week ... starting on my album collection ... hope to make a few dollars off them. Most are going in the garage sale ... if the weather ever clears up enough on a weekend to have one! Many weathered the years without too many scratches ... I was always careful how I played my albums. Now I have an immense CD collection so the vinyl goes ... my son got first pick and took about 2/3 of my collection ... glad he likes my taste in music!
Well, I'm off to journal and then play poker for a while,
Hope everyone has a great day today! Even if it is Monday!

Hi, all. Good morning or good afternoon and Happy Monday!
DWB, I'm sorry you've been experiencing more pain and hope things continue to improve. I wish I had a magic wand and could make all pain, of all kinds, instantly disappear throughout the world.
I've been up and down the last few days. Weather changes give me migraines and this time of year we have lots of weather systems going through. The migraines make it difficult for me to be as productive as I am at other times, which I find very frustrating.
Today's a nice day so far... I'm enjoying the sunshine...

Spring used to be a very bad time for me and my aches and pains because of the weather. It's been so hot and dry down here that, up until today, I've been doing ok. We've got a front coming in and that's kicking the old arthritis up. And, of course I've been doing way too much, trying to catch up on being away for 15 days, so pretty much everything hurts. This too shall pass. Hope ya'll have a great week!

Another wet day here ... wish it would dry out on the weekend so we could have our garage sale. I have about ten more boxes of stuff to price. It will be a big, huge, gigantic sale in which I hope to move most of the merchandise.
Listed some things on Ebay ... was going to start on my albums, but I feel a nap coming on.

My hats off to you, Kate... a garage sale has always sounded like so much work to me and I'm not sure I'd have the energy. I hope the weather does clear for you and you get lots of sales!
It's a nice day here today but I'm feeling fatigued and finding it hard to get much done.
04-03-2012 04:41 PM
I'm feeling you there Pat ... I never even got dressed today ... I had good intentions ... but ... well, I got sidetracked and moody and accomplished nothing. Yuck.
Sure hope tomorrow is better.
Hope your tomorrow is better too Pat,

Thanks, Kate.:)
I'm happy to say I started feeling a bit better this evening and have actually listed a few new things.
04-04-2012 06:25 AM
Glad to hear you are feeling a little more chipper Pat ...
and actually listing.
I am going to start listing my albums today ... at least I think so.
The weather looks good for this coming weekend so we may have a garage sale ... yeah, I know a holiday weekend but there are three churches within a mile of our house ... most of them have to pass by our house when church lets out ... we're hoping that people will stop by then.
It is another rainy day ... supposed to rain all week.
I wrenched my back somehow so am hobbling around a bit today. Sitting here with a heating pad on my back ... actually feels pretty good.
Well, hope everyone has a great day.

Ouch, Kate, a wrenched back is painful. I hope it heals quickly.
I'm fatigued again today. I don't think I'm sleeping well so I'm waking up not feeling refreshed and without a lot of energy. It's bringing my mood down, too. I really hate feeling this way... and don't want to start feeling sorry for myself, which I hate even more.

Thanks Pat ... I am sitting with a heating pad on my back and I took some pain meds I had leftover from when I fractured my hand ... so my back is warm and my head is loopy ... nothing will get done today ... tomorrow is another day.
Hope you get a better nights rest ... and have a better tomorrow Pat.

Good morning;
Well, it is still raining here ... supposed to clear up to partial sun on the weekend so we are having our garage sale ... in the garage just in case it rains.
I still have 5 boxes of items to price for the sale. And laundry to do today ... whooppee!
If I get time... I will start listing my albums.
Kate

Good luck with the sale, Kate. I hope you get lots of shoppers. 🙂

Good morning all ...
Stepped outside at 5:20AM to see my husband off to work ... the birds were chirping, it's a little chilly and cloudy but it seemed a glorious morning. I wish I could see the sunrise ... but the clouds have kept it away.
Have all my boxes of stuff sitting on tables in the garage ... if I look at the whole thing it is overwhelming ... I will see it as one box at a time and get as much set up as I can before my husband gets home from work. I am looking forward to selling the stuff ... and to the small interactions with people ... I love how some love to gab, others love to dicker on the price ... oh it will be fun.
That's my day's plan ... what's everyone else up to today? Hurray it's Friday!!!

Hi, all. It's a nice day here... very blue sky and birds chirping here, too.
I have photos ready for some new listings and will try to get them up today. My inventory is lower than normal and I really need to get it back up. I have still anothr bad headache today, but hopefully will get the work done anyway.
I received a summons for jury duty yesterday. Three years ago I was summoned and ended up being dismissed in the courtroom. I'm not sure if it was the state or the defense attorney who dismissed me... I have things in my background that could have made either one not want me in the jury!
Seriously, I worked in a police library when I was in college, and did volunteer work in a prison in the 90s. I also worked in an insurance company at one time, and I think there was something else I put down that made me iffy.
Massachusetts lets you postpone jury duty up to a year, so that's what I did today.
