Christy's couch

Hi everyone... I wasn't here at all yesterday, I know. I had a bit of a scare with my back late Saturday night, and was too tired to write yesterday. Please don't worry, I'm much better now though it still hurts quite a lot. I've done some stretching which seems to be helping a bit. I refuse to be... Sign in to see full entry.

I figured out that all the packages were indeed mine. I ordered six books for Margaret for Christmas, though I'm going to give her two of them on Thanksgiving Day before we set about cooking dinner for Mum, my Uncle and Grammy. I'm hoping my brother and his fiancee will come as well since I told Mum... Sign in to see full entry.

Good grief! What am I going to do? Just as I was sitting down to play a quick game on the laptop, the mail carrier pounded down the door. When I opened it, she held out a bucket contain a TON of packages! She says that if I don't want to keep the bucket, just leave it outside and someone from the... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... Happy Saturday! I've been up since 8:30 this morning and I feel pretty good at the moment. The sun is shining, so what's to complain about? It's a bit nippy outside, but the weather reports did promise a chilly weekend. Nothing I can't deal with. The only thing really buggering me up... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, the shower is finished. Once more, it took me forever to get in and out again. Sigh. Oh well, at least it's out of the way now. I finally got the chance to try on one of the pairs of fleece pants and I LOVE THEM!!!! They aren't as long on me as I thought they would be. Just a bit big round the... Sign in to see full entry.

What a beautiful day. I can see the leaves dancing on the trees as I write this and look out the windows. The sun is shining, but I don't know how warm it is outside. The heat is on 70, and it's not to chilly in here at the moment so perhaps it's warmer outside than it looks? Princess Lovebug is... Sign in to see full entry.

Mum just left a few minutes ago. She very nicely offered to go and check our mail and my garbage. Margaret received a parcel she's been expecting and so did I. Hooray! She's planning to make either spaghetti or chop suey for dinner this evening, so I hope they enjoy. I happen to LOVE both dishes!... Sign in to see full entry.

Good grief! What a day its been already! This morning just as I was putting the breakfast dishes in the sink, the telephone rang. I didn't answer it because I knew exactly who it would be....another bill collector looking for either Margaret or I. So, I let the answer phone take the call. It was a... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning everyone... I wrote only one post here yesterday??!! Wow, I MUST be slipping! lol! Seriously though, I was so exhausted yesterday that every time I'd try to write anything my mind would start dozing off. It's dark and rainy here today. Still, the flat isn't too cold so things aren't so... Sign in to see full entry.

I did manage to check out that online clearance sale at our clothing shop, but for once, didn't find anything we would have liked-at least-not in our size! However, I've struck upon an idea. The dress I bought Margaret for her birthday fits her perfectly. It's called a t-shirt dress and is really... Sign in to see full entry.

No, this isn't a homage to that horrible 80's song. I'm just pondering whether I should stay with that other writer's group I signed up with or should I call it quits? After all, I haven't really written there much. In fact, hardly at all since I signed up toward the end of July. I got an email from... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning everyone... I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! It's rainy and damp here. Perfect writing and crafting weather! Maybe even a read of my book? We'll see what I get myself up to as the day goes on. I didn't get to bed until 11:30 last night and was up at 7:00. Surprisingly, I don't... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, Mocha is cleaned and fed and resting in his pen. I'll let him hop around a bit longer before putting him back to bed for the night. I think the autumn weather is beginning to affect him. He's very sleepy lately. I've had emails from Kamilla and Volodya. (Thank goodness!) I've answered both and... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi gang... Well, I've washed the breakfast and lunch dishes, so now it's time to vaccum Mocha's pen. I've already cleaned his litterbox, so it shouldn't take me long now. I'll be back soon... Sign in to see full entry.

I've just tossed lunch into the oven. Rigatoni with white meat chicken and pesto sauce. Yum! No, I didn't make it myself. It's one of those Stouffer's meals. It's quite tasty, but I wish I could cook more. I hate that these have so much sodium in them. Not good. But I just can't stand for long... Sign in to see full entry.

At least, that's what I feel like I'm doing today. Just crawling through it. Whatever it is. I hope I pick up soon. I hate being in turtle mode. Mum's probably just arrived at Grammy's house. She was picking her up to take her to the mini reunion at her cousin's house in New Hampshire. I hope they... Sign in to see full entry.

Our online clothing shop is having another sale. It's thirty percent off all clearance items. Given that I'm trying to dress Margaret and I warmly for the coming cold months I've been considering all day whether or not I really want to buy us more clothes just now. I mean, it isn't as if I don't... Sign in to see full entry.

I will get on with Vyktor as soon as possible, but I think I should mention that there is someone else whose story needs telling. She spoke to me long ago, and I have never forgotten her message. Though as yet I have felt unable to tell her story. Her name is Carolynne, and she is one of many woman... Sign in to see full entry.

Forgive my posts today my friends...I'm just feeling very frustrated today. So, I'll have to ask you all to hang on with me. Once again, it took me forever just to get in and out of the shower. My back was killing me when I got up this morning, as it usually is. I've really got to get off my butt... Sign in to see full entry.
