Christy's couch

I've been feeling a little off since this afternoon. Not necessarily sick, but off. I did sleep last night, but I'm tired again so I suspect this accounts for the offish feeling. I've washed the dishes and cleaned Mocha, who is now happily hopping around in his little condo. I still can't quite... Sign in to see full entry.

I can't decide what to do with myself today. Mocha needs his daily freedom and cleaning, but I need to give Lovebug a chance to eat a bit more and make one more use of her litter box before I set him loose. I'd like to do some more online window shopping today. I can't actually buy anything until I... 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 slept in late again. That's one of the many great things about the weekend. In just a few minutes, I'm going to free Mocha for about an hour or so and then have lunch and a shower. I'll come back to write as soon as the sun settles down a bit! Happy Saturday everyone! Sign in to see full entry.

No, it is not a singular memory, but two merged into one. But the memories are jumbled somehow, backward. The first comes to me like a flash of heat. It was only a month and a half ago. Babi and Dadi had gone away for a week or two. I can’t recall precisely where, but for some reason, I know that it... Sign in to see full entry.

I cannot make out his face, but I know he is staring me in the eyes. Babi tightens her grip around the wounded man and his blood now covers her hands. The man with the pistol speaks to me in harsh Russian. “This man is my friend and a fellow soldier. You will take us into your house and help him.... Sign in to see full entry.

Poor Mocha. He's still molting like crazy, which is giving him hair balls, which is giving him bouts of very soft stools. I have to go in a minute and vaccum him all over again. Poor little Honey bunny! Yes, to answer your question Rae09, Mocha is a rabbit. The pressure headache is back, and now my... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, Mocha is clean once more. He's now happily resting in his pen, so it's lunchtime for me! Sign in to see full entry.

I slept in VERY late again this morning. The joys of chronic insomnia! Oh, well...at least it's the weekend at last! And the sun is shining today. Beautiful! I have some cleaning to do, and some how the sunshine makes it a lot easier. I was very sad just now to read the news online of actor John... Sign in to see full entry.

I don't think I'll write any more tonight. I was feeling like it earlier, but all of the sudden I just don't. I think I'll play one game of MARIO and go to bed. I hope you all had a great day... Sign in to see full entry.

Poor Margaret has ended up going back to Belle's until next Thursday sometime. She has to be back no later than then because the following Tuesday she has a doctor appointment that can't be put off. So, I'm on my own once again. I've just had a shower and the wet towels and some clothes are in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Margaret and I came to the decision last night that it's time to buy a few new games for the wii. We really enjoy the ones we already have, but eventually, we'll solve them all and it'll be time to move on to something new. So, what better way to prepare than to do some window shopping for them? We... Sign in to see full entry.

I am so sad tonight. I was heartbroken to read Amanda's post, as well as Corbin Dallas' about the passing of Joe Love. My prayers go out to his family and all those who love him. Right now, our dear Offy weighs heavily on my mind again. If I could ask God to give her back to us the way she was... Sign in to see full entry.

Gently, I slap Lalka’s rump to get her to move away. She does, and when she looks back at me I whisper to her, “It’s all right, little doll. We’ll do what we can. Will you stay near the door and keep watch for us?” Obediently, she stays. Though she never fully shifts her sight from us. The tips of... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, it's official friends...It is snowing! Weather forecasters predicted it would start at around 7:00 this morning, and so it did apparently. There is white EVERYWHERE, and it's still coming down! A good day for laziness, wouldn't you all say? We just finished our coffee, and I wish I could have... Sign in to see full entry.

I was going to go look at some new wii games at amazon, but got distracted looking at something else! I'm going to play a game of MARIO while Margaret cleans out Mocha's pen. I'm getting tired again. Goodnight everyone... Sign in to see full entry.

I think I finally figured out why I've been so on and off out of sorts these last few days. First off, I've had a slight pressure headache. Not a migraine, but a pressure headache. I hate them, but at least this one isn't as bad as they usually get. I'm thankful for that. I just hope it won't last... Sign in to see full entry.

Our eyes freeze on each other for a moment. YAKOV! Perhaps he came back to try and tend her and she kicked at him in her fear. Perhaps she is trying to hide his now lifeless body with her own. But then Olga shakes her head. “It cannot be Dadi Poka! When I left, he was sleeping beside me!” We are... Sign in to see full entry.

What terrible headlines this past week and a half or so! Every night, I've prayed that it will end soon. One event has, though not without terrible loss and tragedy for everyone involved.
