Oh, dear God...please help me! You are the only one who can lead me through this. I also pray for Your forgiveness. I did some more stretching excercises a little earlier with the theraband. Nothing too heavy, because I have to be careful. It felt good to do them again, but then...I stood up and it... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I did some pretty good stretching. About ten minutes worth, I think! So, now I'm going to go and have my lunch and probably do a bit more excercise. The cable and electric are both paid off now, so I'm feeling pretty good. Only bill left to pay off now is for the book the school sent me a few... Sign in to see full entry.

First off, Happy Australia Day to my Grandmummy kabu! And to all my other Aussie friends I miss so much. It's cold here again today! I'm gonna have to put socks on in just a minute! We're expecting more snow starting sometime today into Thursday sometime. UGH! It's a sheer wonder I haven't gone... Sign in to see full entry.

AVINGNON Note: We have left Paris, and are now in Avingnon. I have never actually been here, but I have in fact seen this place. Perhaps one day, God will allow me to see it in the flesh. It’s a quarter to eight when Max finally steers us down the long, narrow dirt road, following my directions to... Sign in to see full entry.

Some of you may remember that a few days ago I very angrily posted about a restaurant in Arizona that was planning to add lion meat to its menu of exotic meats beginning 16 February. Well, I have some wonderful news! But some very distubing news as well. The lions have one a small victory! The... Sign in to see full entry.

Margaret has just arrived home. YAY! I wanted to come and write earlier today but its been a long day. Don't ask, dear ones...you really don't want to know! Volodya is such a kind man. We've exchanged some very interesting emails over the past day or two. I was sad to learn that he spent two years... Sign in to see full entry.

I will come back tomorrow to write, my friends. Today just got the better of me. My ankle still hurts. Sigh. Please keep the people affected by the tragedy in Moskow this morning in your thoughts and prayers. I hope you all had a wonderful day. Goodnight... Sign in to see full entry.

PARIS Note: I never got to see Paris when I was in France, but at least I got to see it here. Another gorgeous morning in Paris. Warm enough for me to have my coffee on the balcony. So, here I sit in my pajamas, coffee in hand, laptop and drawing supplies on my little outdoor table. I’ll go and have... Sign in to see full entry.

Margaret rang me this morning and she'll be home tomorrow at last. Thank God, because I don't think I can take much more. It has nothing to do with the pets, I just can't stand the silence any more. I don't know what's the matter with me lately. I don't want to do much of anything and I don't really... Sign in to see full entry.

That's what I have decided on for dinner. Mum used to make me fried egg sandwiches quite a lot when I was growing up and I still love them to this day. I always add a bit of cheese to my eggs, no matter how I cook them. Mum always did the same which is why I think I'm so much more fond of them this... Sign in to see full entry.

Is it really Sunday already? It certainly doesn't feel like a Sunday to me! I feel like I'm lost...just floating round in outter space somewhere. Ah, well. Tomorrow's Monday then, is it? I don't really feel as if I have anything exciting to write to you all about today. I slept in late again.... Sign in to see full entry.

I have decided that if I have Leni's and Vyktor's story published I am going to give it a new title. I partly have to thank my wonderful and inspiring Grandmummy kabu for this decision. Since I believe that Leni asked me to speak using her voice as a victim and a survivor, I am going to call the... Sign in to see full entry.

Another angel has gone home to God. I just read online that Mr. Ed Mauser, a member of the regiment that was featured in the movie BAND OF BROTHERS, has passed away at age ninety-four in Omaha, Nabraska. Mr. Mauser was a very humble man who preferred to keep out of the limelight. He kept his time in... Sign in to see full entry.

Wow, the sunshine is potent today! A nice change though, after all the blasted snow we've had over the past couple of days. There's only one slight problem with this... It's making it too dang bright for me to be able to see well enough to write much! So, I think I'll go have my lunch now. I'll come... Sign in to see full entry.

After Volodya's explaination of the holiday which commemorates Jesus' baptism in the river Jordan, I got to thinking and decided that I would like to write a children's story for him and for his family about it. I emailed him on Thursday to ask him if this would be all right with him. He is always... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I was right thank goodness. Miss Lovebug didn't go outside in the snow when the door blew open earlier. She was a very good little kitty and went and hid under Mummy's bed away from the wind and chill! Phew! One problem solved. I'm going to have my supper and then I have to see if I can lay...

ARRRGGGHHH!!!! I can't take any more! I have to let Mocha out, but he has to go straight into the cat carrier, then back into his pen. I can't let him have his usual hop for a couple of days because he keeps getting behind the television set and chewing on...who knows what? So, until he settles down... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I think I'll go and have that shower now. I'll be back as soon as I can. Sign in to see full entry.

I swear, if I see even ONE MORE FLAKE OF SNOW I'm going to lose what little is left of my mind! Yet again, we are being buried under an enormous heap of marshmellow fluff. I don't know how much more of the stuff I can stand to look at. Ah, well. At least this will do some good for the water tables.... Sign in to see full entry.

That was quick! I just found the Ukrainian words for Grandmother and Grandfather! Baba is Grandmother, and Did(pronouced more like the English "did.") So, now I can happily change Olga's and Yakov's titles accordingly. I can only hope they will be able to forgive my mistake! Sign in to see full entry.
