Christy's couch

I just got off the phone with Mum, and she told me that my poor brother has been having stomach pains again. He's had them on and off for a long, long time now but they seem to be worsening. Mum also told me that he's lost a good twenty plus pounds in the space of two months. He weighed 150 and is... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm such a silly old goose! I forgot to come back and let y'all know that I found Queen kitty safe and sound. Little booger was hiding under the bed the whole time I was looking for her! After putting Mocha to bed last night, I opened the bedroom door for one last look round, and there she sat... Sign in to see full entry.

I've just finished watching another episode of TAGGART. Normally, I don't like crime shows. Especially ones centred around murder. In my opinion, they are FAR more graphic than they need to be, but sadly, I understand all too well that graphic is what America craves. So sad really. Television was... Sign in to see full entry.

Oh, my God! How can this be? I have seen this book somewhere before. I know it! But it WAS a Bible! Not…I fall to my knees clutching it against my chest. Tears of rage overcome me. The person or people who lived here before me… They were Jews. How else would this Holy book have come to be here?... Sign in to see full entry.

Oh, my God! I may have been telling you all Vyktor's story in the wrong way. Now, before you all panic, please, please bare with me and let me explain. Though to be honest, I'm not even sure of anything myself yet. I've just had another vision of Vyktor. Except this time, there was someone with him... Sign in to see full entry.

I am so stunned by his question that I am unable to speak. I keep thinking of the question that Babi asked me last night as we sat watching him sleep. Am I in love with him? How should…how will I answer her question for myself? “Vyktor?” “Da?” “What do you hear when you listen to my heartbeat?” I... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, Mocha's pen is once more the luxary space he deserves. Its been so hot here today! It was cold this morning, but then I actually had to open the windows and turn on the fans! Apparently, the first three days of next week are supposed to reach anywhere between the high eighties into the... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm so upset! I can't find lovebug anywhere in the house! I had to open the door earlier, and I'm praying she didn't sneak past me to go outside. I've been calling to her, but she doesn't come. I know...they aren't at all like dogs! Anyway, Mocha needs his pen vaccumed and then I'm going to watch tv... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, in the first crochet magazine I flipped through I had no problems finding patterns for babies. It's a special baby issue of the magazine! The one problem? The magazine is too long to fit under the lid of my printer, so I'll have to type out the patterns by hand and print them off that way!... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm still praying hard for my cousin, who miscarried her first child. She's due in November, and I pray God will allow her to keep this new little one who grows in her belly. She doesn't know the sex of the baby yet, and I believe that's for the best. Anyway, if I were in her shoes, I wouldn't want... Sign in to see full entry.

I just bought a Christmas present for Margaret. It's a jigsaw puzzle with three happy little penguins building a snowman. SO CUTE! I can't wait to give it to her. Funny that when I was in school, one of my best friends nicknamed me "penguin." I absolutely adore those little birds! For me, penguins... Sign in to see full entry.

“Sweetheart, I need to go home for a few minutes and fetch some fresh clothes and blankets and tell Dadi it’s time for breakfast. I shouldn’t be away long. Will you be all right?” “Da Babi. I feel better for telling you about my dream. I will take care of Vyktor while you’re gone.” “Are you rested... Sign in to see full entry.

I just had a quick chat with Jim. He just told me that my ex finally contacted him today. He was really happy, and I'm really happy that the two of them have finally been able to reconnect after so many years. But...I wish he hadn't told me. I'm glad he didn't go into the conversation he and my ex... Sign in to see full entry.

I need to clean Mocha's pen. It's going to take me some time to get things done, so I'm afraid I won't be here again until around 6 or 6:30 this evening. But fear not, I will return and so will our beloved Vyktor. Until then, please catch up on the story if you haven't. Sign in to see full entry.

“Vyktor!” I bolt up, suddenly afraid that he is no longer here. Babi comes and takes my trembling hand. I look at her for a moment, forgetting that she had stayed the night before. “What is it little one? You are as white as the snow!” She moves her eyes to Vyktor, who lies still sleeping. “He is...

Margaret left about twenty or so minutes ago, so I'm officially on my own! We had to get up at 6:00 this morning and although I'm not feeling it yet, I have a feeling that by this afternoon, I might well be dragging. Yes, it's going to be another early night for this ladymonk. I'm not sure what... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm feeling so dull today. I don't know why, just that I do. It isn't very warm outside today, so maybe that's the reason? I dunno. I hate days like this. I haven't even bothered to do anything other than sit around watching television today. Can't really be bothered to chat anyone on... Sign in to see full entry.

Poor Mocha has to be taken to the vet this afternoon. Margaret took Lovebug in for her monthly flea treatment yesterday and when she got home, we discovered that the poor little guy had a tummy ache. He's shedding for his Fall coat now, and has been getting hair balls. When he cleans himself, which... Sign in to see full entry.

Long after we stop singing and know he is sleeping peacefully, we cry. I cannot stand to look into Babi’s eyes and try to pretend I know or even understand her pain. I don’t. I can’t. All I know is that the boy she and Yakov love with every beat of their hearts was stolen from them. A slave to a... Sign in to see full entry.

OUCH!!!!! I hate it when I'm drinking something and it goes down the wrong pipe or just plain goes down the wrong way and I choke on it! That's what happened to me tonight while I was eating dinner. I was drinking some nice pomogranate lemonade. Margaret and I were talking and she made me laugh and... Sign in to see full entry.
