Christy's couch

“What are you doing, little one? You should not kneel like this with your bad joints!” I stand slowly and he helps me sit on the bed. I will not tell him about the photograph yet. Instead, I tell him a half truth. “I was checking my money box. I don’t know what I’m going to do. It’s almost empty and... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I have had a shower. Now however, it's time to have lunch! We've decided on a Philly-steak pizza. After that as promised, Vyktor WILL return!!! I hate such days when the mere trivialities of life interrupt my writing or whatever else it is I want to do! By this I mean Why does it take me all... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning everyone... I need to write today! BIG TIME! I woke up this morning hearing Vyktor's soft voice in my head telling me to please get on with his story. So, I will. But first, I need a shower! I don't know about you lot, but I just can't-no matter how hard I may try-write well unless I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

His wife? Why would he tell anyone such a thing? I know now with utmost certainty that he is willing to do as he says…to protect me with his very life. I will do no less for him should it come to that. But what about his family? Surely, he does not intend to take me back to Moskow with him when the... Sign in to see full entry.

Roommie and I actually went down for a nap. We only slept for an hour and a half. If I sleep too long it completely screws up my nighttime schedule, which I can't really afford to do. I didn't really want to nap at all, but since neither of us slept well last night and I was coming down with a... Sign in to see full entry.

As I write this post, the skies are dark and foreboding and miserable. There will be rain any minute now, I'm sure of it. What to do? We were meant to go and see EAT PRAY LOVE this afternoon, but owing to the conditions of the outside world, that has been temporarily put on hold. I suspect I should... Sign in to see full entry.

It is already evening. Where has the day gone? Babi and Dadi will be back for our weekly supper soon, so I leave the bed and go to the bathroom to have a bath and change my clothes. The hot water is a mercy to my aching back and joints! I stay in the tub for a long while. My eyes are closed and I... Sign in to see full entry.

Ladies and gentlemen, I stand before you, my loyal readers, humbly corrected. Last night, I wrote that our country's first "kiss-in" would take place today. I went back to the story after my post and I was wrong. It was yesterday that the event took place. And I missed the televised event! However,... Sign in to see full entry.

What a sweet, sweet way to honour all those who served in WW2! I've just read online that sometime this month-tomorrow, I believe, we Americans will get to observe and celebrate our first ever "kiss in." The decision for this event is based on that fateful day in August, 1945, when we gained victory... Sign in to see full entry.

I went to look at those jackets online yesterday and found out they are made of mole skin. I will not apologise for saying that there was no way I was going to purchase jackets for us made from mole skin. As most of you have figured out by now I'm sure, I am a huge animal lover. This is a painful... Sign in to see full entry.

...I was so excited! You all remember my posting a few days ago that I had ordered some new pants for Margaret and I for the coming Fall seaon, right? Well, they arrived in the post this morning and I could hardly wait for her to get home from the shopping trip so we could get them all washed and... Sign in to see full entry.

I've just been sitting here thinking...WRITERS DIGEST magazine has another short story competition coming up soon. I think the deadline is December 1 or 2. I'm wondering...maybe I should start working on Mary's story and try to submit it to the competition? There again, maybe I should start by... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Friday the 13th my friends! I hope everyone is well this morning. Margaret and I were up early this morning. She's just gone off to Wal-Mart to pick up a few necessities for the house and some more groceries. I'm not one who believes in bad luck just because it's a certain date that happens to...

A while later, as I feared, he again asks me questions. There is no trace of cruelty or harshness in his voice, only sadness and concern. Yet I somehow fear that he will turn me over to the authorities. “Christy, you may tell me I am wrong all you wish, but I know there is something you are hiding... Sign in to see full entry.

I've been so lazy so far this morning! I haven't had my workout yet, and I'm still in my pajamas! I'm going to clean up and get changed in just a minute. I just wanted to pop in and say good morning to you all before I have to dash off again! Mum is coming for coffee after she gets off work this... Sign in to see full entry.

“One of the men herding us onto the train realised I was missing, along with my father and grandfather. They lost sight of the two older men, but he caught up with me and started shooting at me.

I have to share this with you all. If I don't, I will be doing a great injustice to millions of people. One in particular. But I promise that Vyktor will return as soon as I get this out. Her name is Mary. She lives somewhere in New York...In a subway station. You see, Mary is homeless. How or why... Sign in to see full entry.

You all remember my Christmas story, about little Isabella? Well, I'm ashamed to say that I haven't had the courage to start searching for a publisher until now.

Lunch came out perfectly, as usual. Roommie is an excellent cook! After we finished I brushed my teeth and worked out again for another thirty minutes! Don't worry, I won't strain myself, I promise. The workout wasn't uncomfortable at all. Actually, it felt really good! I'll have another shorter... Sign in to see full entry.

This isn't a post about pop-tarts though. Or any breakfast food for that matter. I just wanted to pop in (pun absolutely intended here folks) and say how much I appreciated and enjoyed your comments on my post of last night. They gave me a smile and a giggle so thank you all my friends! I was going... Sign in to see full entry.
