Post a Day Update...

[savageseraph]

Wow!!! I just noticed on the wee calendar on my LJ, that I've started the fourth week of posting each day. I'm still feeling the satisfaction of watching the little numbers grey out as each new post gets added. I'm also liking waking up in the morning, opening up my email on my iPhone, and seeing comments. It's a nice start to the day and makes me happy at a time when I'm really just wishing I could go back to sleep.

Oddly enough, when I was talking to caras_galadhon the other night, she mentioned something I'd just noticed, which is that sometimes I'm posting more than once a day. Sometimes it's because I have more to say. Sometimes it's to break up posts by subjects. She asked if it was to get ahead, build up a bit of a cushion for when I do miss a day so that I'll still end the year with at least 365 posts. I don't think it's that. I think I'll still feel bad if I miss a day, even with extra posts on some other days.

I have a confession. I didn't think I'd make it this long without missing a day. I mean before I'd think, "I have no time. I'm too tired. I'll get around to it tomorrow. Maybe post more then." Excuses for my passive behavior of reading my flist but not really participating. We all know that more people read posts than comment on them, but I know I like knowing when someone leaves a comment. I owe that to others as well. Now that I am posting more, I'm finding that I'm also tending to comment more, and keeping up with and talking to y'all makes me happy.

And yes. I am thinking, "If I keep posting, I have a legitimate reason for not going to the grocery store." I suppose I should put on some pants and go ahead and do that.

Well Hello and good morning!just to say I do read your posts, and not always comment, as I can add, help or say very little. However, just to say HEllo and I hope your day will be better than yesterday's and even more better than the day before!

Silly me, but why not. We love hearing from you on LJ and all about your runny sinuses! Poor love. Still - progress!!!

And keep going, only erm a few more erm, weeks to go! Bless and laugh on... Ever, Blue.

Come on, get moving. Groceries shopping.
Oh, I love to be your motivator. I wished I had someone to do this to me as well.
I always thought it to be an Aries thing that feeling of “I can’t be bovvered!"

Ok... you've shamed me into commenting! LOL! Actually, I've been pretty absent in general - partially because I was without real net access for almost 3 weeks and I just got out of the habit of flipping through LJ every day. And I confess that I am now heavily addicted to Twitter... I comment there a _LOT_...

I have been enjoying your posts though and cheering you on - albeit silently - which is not very useful - so I shall endeavor to actually comment more!

Already looking forward to Orlando! Any chance you need any chairs, panelists again this year - though I'm sure you are all set by now...

I find that they do approve if you wear pants to the grocery store. Or at least something of that sort.

Oh! I didn't know we didn't have to go to the grocery store if we posted!!! I need to post more! *g*

I love all the posty-comment-y-ness going on. ♥

I think that the more you talk, the more you have to say, so you get in the habit of posting. I'm enjoying your posts. Nice talking to you!
