Christy's couch

I wake sometime later, in pain. I have been lying on my back for at least two hours, probably longer. I try to stay still. I do not want to wake him. He is so exhausted! But after a few minutes, I cannot be still any longer. “Vyktor?” He stirs, but does not open his eyes. I whisper again. “Vyktor!”... Sign in to see full entry.

Some of you may remember that a couple of weeks ago, I posted about a benefit dinner that is being held to raise money to purchase much needed educational materials for prisoners that our friend Julie works with. I just rang Becky, and sadly, she's informed me that they probably won't be able to... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I have to head for the shower, but I wanted to come by and thank you all for your comments regarding Vyktor. I'm glad you're all enjoying the story so much! I just got the nicest surprise this morning. I was checking my email, and found out that an old friend of mine had sent me a... Sign in to see full entry.

“Christy? CHRISTY!” He is shouting to me in his sleep. I can tell from the urgency in his voice that he is having a nightmare. I sit on the chair next to him and stroke his face. I whisper softly, in order to wake him without frightening him. “I am here Vyktor. Don’t be frightened. Nothing will... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi gang, I know I haven't been here all day, but until just now it really wasn't possible for me to be. We've been bloody exhausted all week, and since we didn't make it to bed until midnight last night, I slept in until poor Margaret finally had to wake me at 10:00. Anyway, Mum just left after...

Yet, in the midst of my peace, sleep is fitful. I wake on and off throughout this night. Whenever I do, either Vyktor or Babi try to lull me back to rest. I am afraid and angry and exhausted. At one point when I wake, I stroke Vyktor’s pale face as he himself sleeps. Babi, who has sleep in the back... Sign in to see full entry.

Mum won't be coming round this afternoon after all. She has some errands to run, so asked if she could come by tomorrow instead. We don't mind either way, of course. I only wish we'd known sooner. Ah well, that's okay. Since she's waiting another day, maybe I'll ask Margaret to go to the grocery... Sign in to see full entry.

Mum is supposed to come by for coffee this afternoon, so this is just a quick hello to everyone before I have to make a mad dash for the shower! Hello everyone!!!! I'll be back as soon as I can. Sign in to see full entry.

The air is cool today, but not cold. Tomorrow is supposed to be eighty plus degrees. Great! No wonder everyone around me is catching cold! Apparently, there is some viral infection going round as well, so I'm praying Margaret and I don't catch it. Now, don't get me wrong y'all, I love the warm... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I've already got Margaret's birthday gifts picked out. Well, at least two of them, anyway. I'm going to buy her an mp3 player for her birthday, but will have to do it when she's out of the house. She's gonna be so surprised! I'm worse than a little kid in a candy store! It's not even for me... Sign in to see full entry.

Don't ask me what set me off this time, but I woke up feeling a little blue this morning. It's nothing serious and I think it'll pass soon. I just want to be left alone. So what am I doin' in here, eh? I dunno. I guess writing is better than sitting around being glum and miserable all day. Lying in... Sign in to see full entry.

“Vyktor is right, little one. You look horrible!” Babi has come into the room carrying a heavy pink blanket. “You are as pale as the snow outside and your eyes have dark circles! Be still and let yourself drift off to sleep.” I know she is right, I must sleep! But if I do not confess to Vyktor now,... Sign in to see full entry.

Something is wrong. Not with me, and it's nothing serious. It has to do with Vyktor. Some of you may remember that several weeks ago I posted about having a vision about a second man named Dimitri. I have no idea what relation he is to Vyktor, if any at all. But I know he plays a part in our story.... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I didn't end up buying a jacket. I couldn't find one that either of us liked. Actually, I did, but all the colours we like are out of stock in the size we need! I did, however, manage to buy Margaret an early birthday present. She's been wanting a new dress for ages now, so I told her to come... Sign in to see full entry.

Wouldn't you just know it kiddies? Os ur online clothing shop is having yet ANOTHER sale! And this time, you get to choose a free jacket! It's a two day event only, so I'm sitting here wondering...should I go and have a look? I know there's going to be a minium purchase requirement in order to get... Sign in to see full entry.

Yes, I promised to come back and write a bit more today. But as misfortune would have it, I wasn't able to until now. I hate when my body won't allow me to do the things I need to. For most people, writing-most especially in a place like this, writing would be nothing more than a hobby or a way to... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I know I haven't been around much. Actually, for the past two days, not at all. I will be back to write more in a bit, though. Please, may I ask for prayers for my friend Sue? I found out from chatting to her on facebook last week that she lost her job just about a month and a half... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... Once more, I haven't been here all day. We slept in late, and then I needed a shower before I could write anything. Grammy and Mum are dropping in for coffee after they have their supper tonight, so we're getting ready and looking forward to that. I just bought two new craft projects....

I got a note in the post today from Julie. About a week and a half ago, I rang her to ask whether there was going to be another benefit dinner this year to raise money for the prisoners she works with. There is, and it's due to be held on 17 October. I didn't attend last year, even though I really... Sign in to see full entry.

What a sad day for fans the world over of children's Christmas shows. I happen to be one of them! Just because we have to grow up and yes, eventually grow old, doesn't mean we should ever stop listening to the child's voice that lives inside each and every one of us. I've just read online that Miss... Sign in to see full entry.
