Christy's couch

I didn't make it to the shower. I did try, but I'm just too dang tired tonight. I had one yesterday and I'll have one tomorrow provided the electricity doesn't go out while I'm asleep later on. My ankle and knee are killing me, so it's probably just as well I didn't attempt a shower at this point.... Sign in to see full entry.

Mocha has just hopped back into his pen, so as much as I hate to do it to him, I'm going to close him in for the night. Then I think I will take that shower. After that, who knows what I'll get myself up to? I'm not really swollen today but I am as stiff as a surfing board! Maybe the hot water will... Sign in to see full entry.

Mocha is now out of his pen for his daily freedom. Unfortunately, he can only stay out for a very short while today because of this blasted storm we're due for! Sigh. The breakfast and lunch dishes are washed. After Mocha is cleaned and cared for, I will probably take a shower and change into some... Sign in to see full entry.

I just had a very special person come to my mind. She hasn't been with us for some time now, and I know how much many of us miss her. I'm glad the Lord brought her to mind just now. I miss you, Offy. Your beautiful smile...Your words of kindness for those who are blessed to know you. Your funny... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, here we are on the Sunday after Christmas. It went by so fast! In a way, I'm sort of glad it's all over with now. Though I must admit, it's going to take me a couple of days to get used to the fact that there no more Christmas carols on the radio! I've got the radio on as I write this post....

Why does this stupid insomnia have to kick up again? Why can't my joints just leave me alone for more than one or two days at a time? I know I really shouldn't complain...it is Christmas after all...I don't mean to...but this is getting ridiculous! I had another Christmas poem I was planning on... Sign in to see full entry.

Merry Christmas 2010, my friends... It doesn't seem possible that the holiday is drawing to a close for another year. Next weekend will ring in the new year. Where does the time go? Sigh. I am exhausted, even though I hardly did anything at all today. I think this joint pain is finally getting the... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I've finished lunch and washed the dishes, and in a little while I'll free Mocha from his pen and clean him up for the evening. I don't feel like doing much of anything today. Still, a load of laundry is in the dryer. I haven't played on the wii today. I might later on this evening, but I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

Dad just came by to give me my birthday/Christmas gift. It's money, as usual. Very sweet of him, but sometimes I honestly wish he wouldn't do that. I wish he understood that Christms isn't about that for me. It's present enough just see him once in a while. I'm not saying I don't appreciate that he... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Christmas Eve, everyone! Yes, I have decided to post a few more blogs on this day before Christmas. I didn't feel right not at least writing to wish you all the merriest Christmas ever! I hope that each and every one of you spends the day tomorrow surrounded by those you love and who love you.... Sign in to see full entry.

The housework is now finished. It wasn't bad at all, and not heavy today. The pets are fed and watered and loved and are now happily off to their own spaces. And now Mummy can do just what she pleases until she feels ready for bed! But what to do? Play on the wii? Some online window shopping? Shall... Sign in to see full entry.

I think I can finally say I'm ready for dinner now. Although a very light one. Probably a bowl of cereal. Maybe not the best meal choice, but it's hard for me to eat large heavy meals in the evening and it tends to get worse when the joints flare up. Anyway, I had a good breakfast and lunch, so I'll...

Mocha has been cleaned for the night. Poor little critter. He doesn't at all like the new vaccum cleaner, and given the fact that it has already tried to suck him up at least twice, I don't blame him in the least. Thankfully, I was able to sit the entire time and it didn't take long at all. He's... Sign in to see full entry.

Miss Lovebug has snuck upstairs. This means I won't be able to let out Mocha until she makes an appearance because I need to put the safety gate across the stairs, and she has a hard time getting over the gate. Sigh. If she's not down here by 4:00, I can only let him out long enough to clean his pen... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, the cable bill arrived in my email this morning. I was shocked! It's much higher than they told me it would be, and I am hoping this is a one time only fee. If not, we'll have to figure out a few things. But I refuse to have it turned off again. Especially now that there is a mound of snow on... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I'm sorry I didn't make it back to write last night, but I was exhausted! I tried to be so good last night. I went to bed at 9:30...but didn't fall asleep until after midnight! Sigh. Oh well, I'm not feeling too rough this morning so I think I'll be all right. I'm going to try and get... Sign in to see full entry.

HOORAY!!!! The people at amazon FINALLY got a clue!!!! I can only assume that several people left feedback to complain about the high price of the complete boxed set because...they have lowered the price from $99.99 to $65.99. PHEW! Thank goodness that won't be such a hit to my account! I must admit... Sign in to see full entry.

Poor Margaret just left a few minutes ago. I told her to call me the minute she gets to Belle's house. It has been snowing here since just about five o'clock this morning, and it's still drifting down as I write this. The roads must be a mess! I can only imagine the state of things in Europe at the...

After great soul searching and debate, I have decided not to continue with the current version of Vyktor's story. There are several reasons, but the most outstanding is the fact that the puzzle pieces are still too jumbled to make any sense if I were to continue on the path we have travled thus far....

Happy first day of winter, my dear friends! And so at long last, the winter solstice begins. Can you all believe it? I can't! I can never really believe it, even after it actually happens. Where has the year gone? I wish for you all a very safe and very happy wintertime! As for myself, today is the... Sign in to see full entry.
