Daily Chit Chat with a Friend
Just a nice Chit Chat with a friend is all that is needed.
So... How was your day today?
@IsayUncle
True. Thanks for sharing this post. This is much needed in today's life. I poke my friends daily to check on them and also to share mine.
On 7 cups, I have met wonderful people who fill my day with lots of smile. I have also made some amazing friends here.
@IsayUncle
Good job on keeping up with the dog's medications! That is very important. I remember you telling me that you hate cleaning the floors. What type of floors do you have? Is it because of the dog hair and foot prints? Maybe you should figure out a way to reward yourself when you do it to make a positive association. What makes you happy? I don't know if you've ever told me that. You always talk about your goals and workπ
School is going pretty well and I did good at getting it all done every day and going to bed and getting up earlier but it definitely can be frustrating at times. I'm actually pretty concerned about my son that is almost 8. His reading is so much better as I told you but he really struggles with math. None of my kids have had a hard time with understanding math before so it's been pretty easy to teach, but he just says he doesn't understand. So today I ordered a new curriculum for him. Probably impulsively. My purchases usually are. But I'm really hoping it will help me to teach him. And then I bought the primer level for Jax because he loves numbers and I thought Bentley could use it for review. Do you ever impulsively buy things? I'm really bad about that sometimes.
What are you doing tonight? Justin is taking a nap so I'm just watching YouTube and then I will try to finish my dishes.

Hey M, Good to see ya. I read your post and I'll get back to some of that, but here's a funny twist about my routine.
Basically, my routine only includes doing paperwork, clean kitchen, clean laundry and clean floors. SO my routine was intended to have all things done in a weekly flow with no major chunks of time being required. (Hopefully having full weekends and some weekday hours free). Because of my dicisions, I didn't manage that. Tonight I was determined get my routine caught up and I was pumped, excited, doing good.... And then the power went out. Only 30 minutes but still.....
@IsayUncle Why did the power go out? Is there a storm? It figures that would happen when you were ready to get things done! Sounds how life works, lol.
I don't have a lot of fun either lol. I guess I like my coffee a lot, and certain shows, if it's a new season or an episode I haven't seen. I like buying things. Like curriculum, kids clothes, pretty things for the house. I don't like to go to actual stores though. I just like shopping online and then getting my packages in the mail. Lol. I like doing outdoor things like camping and walks but I don't really like being without Justin doing those things. I guess it's my anxiety.
I don't hunt or fish, but Justin likes fishing. Maybe you could let yourself have a treat if you do your floors. I don't know if you've started your eating plan or not, but even if you have, planning in your favorite treats is good to make it realistic long term. Do you go for salty or sweet?
@Psalm139
Good nite M, I only have a few dishes for the AM. btw, what do you watch youtube? I'm a big youtube fan, not the tv package, just the premier membership. G'niteπ΄
@Psalm139
Good morning. Back at it. It'll be a momentous day today. I like the word momentous. Dean Koontz uses it a lot.
I hope you rested good and are looking forward to an epic restful day or a momentous activity day. No watered down, luke warm coffee for us today! Full flavored and steaming hot is the only way for today!
Have an awesome morning.π.
For now, I haven't have any accomplishments but because of this app, I found people that really understands my condition and situation right now. I'm so thankful I discovered this app and to my listeners as well. I hope to find more, soon.
@IsayUncle We've never gone out on the Mississippi on a boat but we did go on paddle boats at a lake we were camping at earlier this summer. It was fun and really a workout for the legs! I went when I was young too but it had been a long time! The only boats I see out are motor boats in our area of the river. I know they have a show boat you can go on here too but we haven't done that either. Just the quiet and breeze walking along the river is perfect π
@Psalm139
I hope you're haveing fun! One of the kids showed up for work at 1:30pm... UGGGGH! BUT I'm glad. He's turning into a real trouble maker on the bus so I'm really glad he took me up on my offer. π
@IsayUncle We made the cake together and then it was raining so the girls and I went shopping instead of for a walk. Rylee got a new hoodie and flannel at Kohl's. Then we went to hobby lobby and she got a sketch book. We came home and had cake and ice cream. So it was fun even with the rain. I love hobby lobby. I could buy the whole store, lol.
How was it with your bus kid? I know you were hoping they wouldn't show but hopefully it turned out well. I imagine he's gone home now? How was the rest of your day?π
@Psalm139
I love stores like that too. GOOD MORNING -
What a feel good day you had and shared. Thank you so much. I love happy days.
My day was good, Poor kid literally did not know which end of a wrench to use, 9th grade. Mechanically retarded. (not slang, his knowledge is just retarded... a lot)
Retarded in the sense of the word (Held back... Behind times... Delayed knowledge). I realize if I'm going to do this thing, It will not be getting kids to help me do things but more about me being out there with them 90% of the time doing things with them. That's probably what they want and need the most. π
@IsayUncle Yeah it was a fun day. But then you didn't say anything last night so I was worried about you. Did you go to bed early?
I imagine some of the kids will be like that. Especially with foster kids. They probably haven't had anyone to teach them those things yet or take an interest in them.
What are you doing today?
@Psalm139
I forgot to say good nite but everything is ok. Today was a busy morning zeroing in on my routine and then went to visit a friend that was babysitting his 1.5 year old grandson. First time I had a chance to meet him, so that was awesome. Then I went grocery shopping, which I have to put away now, so a very productive morning. π
how about you? what's shaking today?
I'm doing ok could use someone to talk to
@agreeableTangerine2563
I'm sorry I can't be here right now. It would be reall nice if evryone started chatting with everyone else too. that way, more people would have more people to talk to.
I know what it's like to want to talk at the moment but the best I can do right now is reply to posts. Please post what's going on and I'll respond. i know it's not the same. π I'm sorry.
@IsayUncle
That has been a satisfying day so far. Went to a mini comic-con and had Hawaiian food for lunch. Took a nap, cleaned the fridge, and going to go take a walk.
@TeaPuerhWarm
Sounds like a wonderful day. I hope you enjoyed your walk and had a great evening!
That I did! It was much needed.
