#ChatterDay2025

This morning I am meeting my sister for coffee to celebrate her coming trip to Ireland (in 2 weeks). Am I jealous?! Yes!
Tagging @swynn @TheLudicReader @Tamra @Graywacke
It is pouring rain again here, so I plan to do mundane things like laundry, sort books to give to our local library for its Autumn book sale, & of course, read.

TheBookHippie Same weather here! Just home. Ireland sounds dreamy. 5d

AnnCrystal Ireland! May she have a wonderful and safe trip ☺️☘️💝. (edited) 5d

AnnCrystal @TheBookHippie You're home! I had assumed you were staying the weekend in Chicago. Better to avoid the weekend rush ☺️👍🏼💝. Must have had a blast in the tale of two cities 😎🏙️💝🏙️. 5d

TheBookHippie @AnnCrystal I was there four days. Generally I stay longer. Alas real life has responsibility to return to. I do love weekends there -we generally hit our favorite Jazz clubs. (edited) 5d

AnnCrystal @TheBookHippie oh, that makes sense. At least you had four days. Jazz Clubs? How absolutely Chicago 🎶🎷😎💝💝💝. 5d

TheBookHippie @AnnCrystal Yes! Winters is our favorite, we are loyal customers since day one!! Green Mill is a favorite too! 5d

AnnCrystal @TheBookHippie How absolutely epic 🆒🍻🎶🥂🎷💝. 5d

Librarybelle Good morning! My area was under a tornado watch late last night, and I can see we had a storm, but thankfully no tornadoes. The cats were extra needy this morning, so I think the yucky weather had them riled up. It‘s my birthday weekend, so my mom is taking me to my favorite bookstore today and tomorrow (my birthday), my parents are taking me out to lunch. Zeke had a rough day yesterday but is much better today—the best type of birthday gift! 5d

AllDebooks Wishing you a fabulous birthday weekend 😘 5d

Cuilin @Librarybelle Happy Birthday 🎉 5d

Cuilin It‘s pouring rain here in NH which suits my mood. My daughter moved to Ireland this week. Today will be spent organizing to put our house on the market. 5d

AllDebooks @Cuilin oh dear, sending hugs your way. It must be a very bittersweet moment, knowing how much you'll miss her, yet happy for her to be living her own life. X 5d

Eggs Thx for the tag 🥰 5d

Eggs @Librarybelle Happy Birthday 🎊 5d

TheBookHippie @Librarybelle Happiest Birthday to you!!! I hope sunny skies arrive! Yay Zeke! 5d

TheBookHippie @Cuilin sending love. ♥️ 5d

TheBookHippie I‘ve just arrived home after four fun days away being spoiled. Winnie is very upset with me because she found out the place we stayed accepts dogs…👀🤣😂 it‘s dark and dreary here, matching my mood. It‘s always hard to come back here. Sigh. I‘ll get out to my raised gardens and I‘ll be better. 🌱🪴 5d

Librarybelle Thank you, @AllDebooks @Cuilin @Eggs @TheBookHippie ! 5d

Librarybelle Thinking of you, @Cuilin 5d

Librarybelle @TheBookHippie Glad you enjoyed your time! 5d

Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle we had the same storm and the same clingy cats. @Cuilin good luck. Thinking of you. @TheBookHippie glad you had a good trip. Happy gardening. Hi @AllDebooks 5d

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie so glad you had a lovely trip. Poor Winnie has FOMO. Enjoy your garden x 5d

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk hi, hope you're having a good weekend x 5d

dabbe @Librarybelle HB! Sounds like you have a fun day planned tomorrow. Give Zeke a kiss from me. 🖤🐾🖤 5d

dabbe @Cuilin Am I being too nosy if I ask where you're moving to? Are you staying in the same city? And yay for your daughter, yet I am sorry for how hard that is for you. Sending 🩵💙🩵. 5d

dabbe @TheBookHippie Poor Winnie! I bet her momma's going to give her some special love! Glad you had a fabulous trip and sorry you had to come back. Post pictures of your garden when you can! 🩵💙🩵 5d

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Glad the storm has passed. 🖤🐾🖤 to those kitties! 5d

dabbe It's going to hit 100+ here today, so we're lying low and staying in the house. This is the time of year where if we don't get out before 7 AM, we ain't gettin' out at all. The pups are mad at us because we didn't get out early enough to take them for a walk, so all that energy is going to be fun to control! 😬 Hope everyone has a lovely day and weekend. 🩵💙🩵 5d

DebinHawaii @Librarybelle Glad you were safe from storms & happy Zeke is better today. Happy Birthday! 🎉 📚🎂 5d

DebinHawaii It‘s a humid one here today but not as hot as for @dabbe as it‘s 81 degrees F. I‘m in the air con at the coffeeshop but sadly I am here to do work. (Shh… I‘m sneaking some reading in too). 😉 5d

Librarybelle Thank you, @dabbe and @DebinHawaii ! 5d

dabbe @DebinHawaii You deserve a break from work! 😍 5d

TheBookHippie Just rest and hydrate and getting ready to plant garden… my body requires me to rest today. 🙃 We have dinner at my brothers tomorrow to celebrate my son graduation. Monday is chores, Tuesday plant. Wednesday my birthday, Thursday daughter‘s birthday… busy time right now. 2w

Bookwormjillk My son‘s birthday today! Waiting for pizza and then cake. A low key day although they dragged me to the mall earlier. I‘m like you @TheBookHippie - it‘s so busy my body is demanding rest. Which is fine since there‘s books, pizza, and cake nearby. We‘ll celebrate on Monday with a trip to Baltimore for a baseball game. Next week is graduating for the seniors + 8th grade promotion for my daughter. This is all fun stuff but also counting down to June. 2w

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk 🎉🎉🎉 I feel the waiting for June!!! Let‘s all eat cake! 2w

Librarybelle Not only busy days but happy celebrations for both of you, @TheBookHippie and @Bookwormjillk ! I‘m emotionally drained so am taking a weekend of napping and reading when I feel like it and hopefully holding cats. Hooray for a long weekend! 2w

dabbe Thanks for the tag. 😍 Just got back from a lovely breakfast with my sisters. Now, I have a slight headache, so I think relaxing is in store--maybe even a nap. And we're definitely indoors for the rest of the day as it will hit 100+ degrees before the day is out.

Have a good Saturday, everyone! 2w

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie I have felt the same this weekend. Needed a lot of rest. Have a great week celebrating birthdays x 🎂 2w

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk Sounds like a busy week. Hope you're well rested to enjoy it. X 2w

AllDebooks @Librarybelle @dabbe I love a good game of #naproulette 😴 Who knows if it's gonna be 10 minutes or 3 hours? 🤪 2w

Just got to Hilo for the day. Today‘s haiku is inspired by me balancing my latte & the one I grabbed for my coworker & setting one down too hard. Oatmilk foam flew out the hole & all over. 😂

Two coffees balanced

Bookwormjillk Good morning! Not sure what I‘ll do today. Sudden storms last night so a lot of the city doesn‘t have power. Prom for my son and two field hockey games for my daughter. Until then I guess I will go see if I can make myself useful to someone. 3w

Librarybelle Busy weekend, @Bookwormjillk ! I was thankful we just had rain and none of the violent parts of the storm. 3w

Librarybelle Good morning! Other than regular chores, the only thing on my to do list this weekend is finish up the egg substitute carton before it expires—I bought some to make muffins last weekend, and now I have to make some baked goods. Oh darn! 😂 3w

Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle have fun baking! 3w

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk that sounds like it was a bad storm. How about making yourself useful to you and having some time to yourself? Wishing your daughter a good match day and your son a fab time at prom! 3w

AllDebooks @Librarybelle have fun baking something yummy.😋 3w

ElizaMarie Nice and stormy this morning. I'm enjoying a coffee with the puppy in my lap (he is too cute to move). 3w

Cuilin As I sip my coffee I haven‘t decided whether it‘s a run around and do all the things day or a rest day and read. The smart approach would be to strike a balance but my ADHD laughs in the face of such desires. 3w

dabbe A friend is coming over to have some coffee. Then, a walk with the pups before it hits 100ºF. 😥 Saturdays and Sundays make me feel so lazy, so I might just do a routine pick-up and then relax. What a life. I'm so blessed. Have a lovely day everyone. 😍 3w

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk still no power here either, another storm went through last night. 😵‍💫🫣😬 Hope all goes well on your end! 3w

TheBookHippie Just a few chores and catching up on rest and trying to survive these massive swings in weather!! Huge temps not seen here ever on Thursday in the 90s then huge storms tornados and 80 then 70 and storm that went to 30s it‘s now 50 and cloudy. OY VEY!!! 3w

TheBookHippie @dabbe tomorrow I‘m having a lazy day. 🤣♥️ 3w

TheBookHippie @Cuilin 😅 hope you‘re still feeling well! 3w

TheBookHippie @ElizaMarie awe. Puppy love! 3w

TheBookHippie @Librarybelle Baking sounds good! I just made pretzels. 🤣 3w

dabbe @TheBookHippie You need to rest before your big planting begins! 😍 3w

DebinHawaii Slept in, went to the library, then the coffee shop & grocery store, now on the way home for possibly a nap. I am fading fast-still somewhat stuffy & wheezy from the week but I was going a bit stir crazy & needed more food. 3w

Librarybelle Good Morning! It‘s a beautiful morning in South Central Pennsylvania. Today is chores in the morning followed by a fashion webinar hosted by Jane Austen‘s House (love that I can see evening programs in the UK in the afternoon here). I need to read the next Nancy Drew book this weekend, but I started this one to get back to the library on Monday, and it‘s such an important read…everyone should read this #HonestHistory #RealHistory

Medicine River: A Story of Survival and the Legacy of Indian Boarding Schools

ShelleyBooksie Good morning! It's a rainy day here in my neck of the woods. Need to do some chores then I plan to write some #Litsylove and dip into the book Sleepless Nights by Canadian Author Pierre C Arsenault 4w

TheBookHippie Getting all my above ground gardening planters (25) ready to plant - it still freezes here overnight… I plant after May 20 generally. But first late brunch, coffee… my electric blanket died and it‘s hard for my joints to not have it before I sleep and before I get up. (RA) new one arriving today! Last two nights without it have been tough. 😵‍💫🫣😝 happy Saturday all! 4w

dabbe Hi, everyone. Drinking one cup of ☕️ and then going for a dog walk before it hits 100 degrees. Then, we‘ll shelter inside while praying to the ac gods. I‘m sure some putzing inside the house will occur. Happy Saturday! 🤩 4w

DebinHawaii Woke up all stuffy with a cold I think. 🤧Enjoying the morning at the coffee shop as usual & errands. Hopefully a nap later too. 4w

TheBookHippie We are preparing for exams here: my son has all his international baccalaureate exams this week and he is really anxious- so I‘m helping him BREATHE and go over things casually… two years of classes comes down to one paper in each subject- Hisory, English… etc -that you write in 5 parts on one subject in differing ways from ONE QUESTION. Then depending how you do it can count for certain amounts of college credits. It‘s worldwide so I get⬇️ 1mo

dabbe As I type this, the girls are whining to go on their walk before it gets too hot. They don't understand that we need our cup of joe before we go. 🤣 Wishing everyone a lovely Saturday. 💜💚💜 1mo

ElizaMarie @Cuilin I am so glad to hear your discomfort is subsiding. I am trying to get into the “want“ to spring clean. I start to do well, but my husband is not interested, so it's been a battle to get stuff done -- we did do his dressers today (I did mine a weekish ago). So we got 1 bag of clothing to donate!!! --- What are you organizing today? 1mo
