Christy's couch

I've just had a thought. Actually, it occured to me a couple of days ago. As you all know by now, I have called Olga by the nickname of "Babi". There is no literal translation for Granny or Grammy in the Russian language, only Babushka, which actually refers to the head coverings worn by elderly... Sign in to see full entry.

THE BED-BOUND SOPRANO Summer is drawing to a close, what there was of it. For the first weeks of June and scattered days in July, there was nothing but rain and chill hanging in the air.

“Vyktor, you must understand that we have no other way to dull the horrible pain you are about to feel. I would not ask you to drink this were you well, but please take it? Please?” One last time, he refuses the alcohol. I set the glass on the table and turn to Babi so that he will not see the tears... Sign in to see full entry.

I place the schnapps on the table. Babi gives it, and me, a quizzical look. “How did you come by this, Poka?” She whispers. “I’ll tell you that story later on.” Babi and I never speak of such things to each other in Dadi’s presence, but I sense that she knows how I came by the liquor. “How is he?” I...

I have said it countless times before and I will say it yet again. There are times when the human race utterly disgusts me. Sadly my friends, today is one more of those days. I'm sittinig here with tears in my eyes and I seriously wish I still had the ability to vomit. Painful as I know it would be.... Sign in to see full entry.

Ah, I love the smell of Irish Spring body wash! I FINALLY managed to get that shower I've been trying for all doggone day! I feel soooo much better now. There's a small load of clothes in the washer and soon it'll be time for WHEEL OF FORTUNE. Vyktor is still tugging at me, but I just don't know... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, Mocha is clean and hopping round in his pen. Lovebug is free from the bedroom. So, I'm off to have a shower at last. Then, I'll probably come back to write, providing I've figured out what to do about Vyktor by then. I hope you've all had a great day. I'll be back soon... Sign in to see full entry.

I just can't seem to get moving today. Becky just rang me, and we chatted for well over an hour. I don't mind. No matter how many times a day or week we chat, we always find something new to gab about. Which, I have to say, always befuddles people! I'm trying to get hold of our manageress to ask her...

I'm gonna have a good sit down and think about how to help Vyktor. I'm gonna do this over dinner, which will be tossed into the microwave tonight! After I get the dishes washed I may go and take another shower. When I get back, there's another story I started a while ago that I may post for you all... Sign in to see full entry.

I've been in a funk all day. I know part of the reason, but as for the rest of it...I just don't know. Sigh. It's snowing tons here now and I don't think that's helping me any. Ugh! I had an email from Volodya earlier today about a Russian holiday that celebrates the baptism of Jesus. I don't know... Sign in to see full entry.

Hey, Happy Winnie the Pooh Day everyone!... I never knew about this before. I was just searching my usual online sites when I happened across this little tid bit. Winnie the Pooh Day is celebrated in honour of the birthday of A.A. Milne, the author of the famous books which were inspired by his... Sign in to see full entry.

I'll be back. I just need to get some lunch and then give Mocha his daily freedom for a couple of hours. Hope you're all having a great Tusday, whatever you're up to! Sign in to see full entry.

I still don't know what to do about Vyktor. Ever since his "visit" to me yesterday, I've been scratching my head in bewilderment. I'm sure it will come to me, all I need to do is wait and pray he visits again very soon. Sometimes I have to wonder if I really am crazy. I wish I had other people I... Sign in to see full entry.

ARRRRGGGGHHH!!!!...I've done it AGAIN!... I may have to start our story all over AGAIN. Now, before you all toss in the towel, please, I beg of you, let me explain why. Vyktor came to visit me again today. This morning, to be exact. And he whispered to me of something that I seem to keep forgetting.... Sign in to see full entry.

Mum has just left after our coffee break together. I'm hungry, but can't decide what to cook for myself. I hate that! Ah, well. something will tempt me soon, I'm sure. I think some fruit may be in order as well. I was going to fix myself a sandwich, but I think the bread has gone stale, despite the... Sign in to see full entry.

Note: Just for a change from my usual writing, I thought I’d write a description of some of the places I’ve seen in my dreams. I’ll start off by writing about my visit to Rotterdam, Holland.

Well, here we are on another Monday morning. I hope you all had a great weekend! The sun is still shining, thank goodness for that!
