129 this morning.

Yesterday's high was 41°, today's forecast is 52°/27° and sunny. It was 17° when I went out to feed the cats.

Looks like a nice 3 days in the low to mid 50's and sunny then Monday begins a change with rain and snow as the week goes on. I really need to get the parking side of the garage in order before the snow really gets here! That will be my goal for today and the rest of the weekend.

112 this morning. 18° and foggy when I went out to feed the cats.

Yesterday's high was 46°, today's forecast is 53°/36° and sunny, I guess once the fog clears.

Nothing exciting on the agenda, laundry and vacuuming and maybe breaking down a stack of Chewy boxes in the garage if it gets warm enough. I never got to trying the power clean on the Epson yesterday. I'm wondering if when I hook up laptop to printer the Utility will show up on laptop from the printer..... don't even know it that is how it works, but worth a try I guess, just for the heck of it.

89 this morning. Our high yesterday was 72° and it is heading to 74° today so pretty nice through Monday then cooling down to the 60s.

I am not dure what I am going to do today, I am either going to work on my computer or do some much needed cleaning. I guess it depends on how motivated I am.

117 this morning.  Warmer morning at 31°.

Yesterday's high was 47°, today's forecast is 48°/32° with possible light shower AM. Next week looks pretty decent with 40's for the days and 20's for the nights not much else. Of course that can change!

Still hoping to do some work in the garage today. But still need to do some organizing for crystal lady. At least she is not coming until 10AM tomorrow!

97 this morning. Our high yesterday was 74° and it is supposed to be 76° today so nice until Friday when we will be in the low 60s, not cold but cooler.

I did get some of the cleaning up I needed but still more to get to today so that is what I am going to try to get done.

120 this morning.

47° was the high yesterday, today's forecast is 54°/33° cloudy and one site says possible snow late night.

Only chore for today is garbage up the road. The crystal lady is coming at 10, finally a decent time. That will take several hours out of the morning. And she is so high energy she always leaves me exhausted by the time she leaves. She called me last week to as if "we" had any topaz (we???), I said yes just rough stones. So she is claiming part ownership on my crystals??? hmmmm. I'm hoping that means she intends to eventually buy them all!?

105 this morning. Our high yesterday was 75° and it is supposed to be the same today and through Thursday then dropping Friday into the 60s. Still no rain in sight for this area but there is a chance for some closer to the coast.

Tomorrow I have to start on a more restricted diet before the colonoscopy Friday so there are several things they don't want me to have like beef, raw vegetables, anything with seeds and a few more. Not so bad but Thursday is the all liquid diet, ugh.

116 this morning.

50° was the high yesterday, today's forecast is 46°/28° and cloudy.

Yesterday the crystal lady tossed out the idea of a price for the whole lot of all the crystals that are left. Kind of caught me by surprise! When we started, given my last inventory when I stopped selling on eBay my total inventory was $34,800. So far she has spent $1100 at greatly reduced prices. My guestimate is she got probablu $5,000 worth of crystals so far. I really have to think about this. Do I just take the inventory and decide on a percentage? She is looking for dirt cheap prices, I figured that out the second time she came, but she wants really good crystals. Her heart is good, but I don't know where she would come up with so much money and I am very hesitant to set up a payment schedule for that large amount of money.  Sheesh, I do want to sell them but something here makes me uneasy.   Sorry, needed to vent....

Nothing else planned for today....

105 this morning. Our high yesterday was 75° and it is supposed to be 68° today. Yesterday was overcast and windy but today it is clear and sunny.

Today I start on a more restricted diet to prepare for the colonoscopy so that should be fun.

Well, I guess it depends on where else you could sell them and what you could get for them. There are other outlets like Ebay or Facebook market place that may be worth looking into.

True that, and she did ask me earlier if I didn't want to go back on ebay which I thought was odd at the time, but now I think she was feeling me out for her question. I'm just not really interested in getting back into online selling, too many hassles and rules now that I don't have the patience to deal with any more.

Thanks for that input I just needed someone else to make that suggestion also, to see I really don't want to do sales any more. I guess my next thing will be to figure out a price that will be somewhat fair to me and at the same time acceptable to her.

There are other crystal dealers around here I maybe could sell to, but on her very first day here she asked if I would sell exclusively to her and I did say yes. So I do feel kind of bound by that.....  I think I'll decide on what I am willing to take and if she says no, that will release me from that promise and I'll look around some at the other crystal stores.

That would be the key question. When you say reduced prices do you mean you are selling at a loss or 'reduced' profit from what you may have earlier thought.

So far it has been at a big loss to me and at first I was OK with that. But as we got into the higher dollar costs to me she still expected pennies on the dollar. What remains is a lot of the pricey things and I am feeling uncomfortable just "giving" them away. She has made a few comments that she was worried I was going to up the prices since she was buying a lot.... she wants to be able to sell them cheap, but they aren't cheap specimens. I'll figure out a price and if she balks too much then that will be that.

She already acts like they are hers, she calls and asks "Do we have any topaz?" for example.There is no "we" here. sigh...sorry to vent here, I just need a sounding board and there isn't anyone else neutral to talk about it to.

Maybe this discussion should be moved to Chit Chat. As these comments aren't really about "Fasting BG".
