Christy's couch

Hi everyone... Please may I ask for prayers for my friend Linda? She is going through a very rough time right now. A very special little girl in her life has had a recurrance of cancer. I don't know the little gril personally, but your prayers for them both would be greatly appreciated. Thank you... Sign in to see full entry.

I wake a short time later. Vyktor lies on his back now, still asleep. I sit up, quickly realising that it is not as light outside as I first thought when I leaped out of bed this morning. If only I could ask Babi and Dadi to wait a few more days. I am exhausted! I have cried almost without stopping... Sign in to see full entry.

DAWN I turn and press the quilt to my face, trying to block out the sunlight. Please God, let me sleep for just a little while longer. I am still shattered from the heated argument with Vyktor. His apology was so kind, yet I still feel a deep hurt inside. I am also afraid. Whether it is a fear of... Sign in to see full entry.

OMG! I have been so distracted today! First off, it took me FOREVER just to be able to move well enough to get myself into and out of the shower. Then, poor Margaret needed to use the laptop, and then I started reading chapter six of my book! It took me a long time to get through the chapter because... Sign in to see full entry.

Do you find that reading someone else's work helps you to be more creative within your own? Do you find that it helps to erase writer's block? I've been thinking a lot about this over the past two days and was just wondering if this technique works for any of you? As I posted a couple of weeks ago,... Sign in to see full entry.

I wrote my fourth post for the new site today. Two have been published thus far, but I've had no comments as yet. I'm just being overly anxious, I know. I'm sure I'll get commented sooner or later. I've pretty much just been introducing myself to the site and anyone who might happen to be interested... Sign in to see full entry.

Today is not a good day. As most of you who read me on a regular basis know by now, I officially hate Monday and think the world should just jump from Sunday straight into Tuesday! Like that's ever going to happen. Sigh. Margaret isn't feeling well and right now she's sleeping. I went and lay down... Sign in to see full entry.

First of all, my dear friends, let me make myself perfectly clear...I am NOT leaving blogit! Many, many of you have become more than friends to me. You have become my second family. Most especially our dear wiley John and kabu. They really are Grandparents to me, and I am thankful and blessed to... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, it's Monday, so today's the big day. In a few minutes I'm off to my new writing site for the first time to see how it goes. I will always remain loyal to you my wonderful blogit friends and I intend to go on writing here every day. But I think it's also high time I started to branch out a bit....

We have suffered a long dark night, and now comes the dawn. Just always remember to expect the unexpected. Sign in to see full entry.

“Are you all right Christy?” Vyktor is awake when I return from the bathroom. He has propped himself up and is looking at me with a softened expression on his face. “I am fine,” I tell him sharply. “I am sorry for waking you.” I move past the bed and rush to the sink to wash my red hot face in cool...

Aha! I see that some of you have been keeping your eyes on Vyktor! Sinome, your question is most intriguing...why don't I want Vyktor to burn his uniform? Perhaps you are right Refuge...a keepsake for me to remember him by when he is gone? We shall see! Sign in to see full entry.

The glass is empty. His coughing has ceased, but he is breathing heavily. His eyes bore into mine, and neither of us moves. Slowly, I place the glass on the table. I remain silent and sit at last on the chair. He is weak and unable in this moment to move. I do not offer to help him up. Perhaps his... Sign in to see full entry.

Please dear Lord, I can't take this much longer! All this damned heat and humidity are really starting to play on my poor nerves. Margaret's too. At first we heard on the weather reports that it was finally supposed to start cooling down on Monday. Now, it's supposed to be even hotter and more humid... Sign in to see full entry.

As promised, here is more of Vyktor...though just a small snippet for tonight. There will be more for you all tomorrow. Enjoy! The very words horrify me. Burn it? But why? How? Does he not understand the consequences of being discovered? Why is he suddenly willing to risk his life…and mine?... Sign in to see full entry.

My God! Please people, if it's not really Friday and I'm just dreaming, DO NOT...I repeat DO NOT pinch me or wake me up! I can't take it anymore! I'm really glad they came for a visit, but evil as I know this will sound...I'm even more happy that they're leaving today! The youngest has been having... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi gang... Sadly Belle and the kids are leaving tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be able to get back to writing here on a semi-regular basis? We've just been so busy the last few days that I haven't had time to even pop in for a quick 'allo or else I've just been too tired to write! But fear not dear and... Sign in to see full entry.

As soon as Margaret and Belle get home from the grocery, we're going to feed the kids lunch and get ready to go to the cinema to see DESPICABLE ME. I'm looking forward to going out today. I think it's a bit cooler, so it'll be good to get the kids out of here for a while, and I know the three women... Sign in to see full entry.

Dear God...When will it stop? Why is it the human beings are so cruel and hateful to one another? What possible reasons can we try to come up with that are "good" reasons? The other members of the animal kingdom may fight to the death, but in that case it is not a matter of hatred...only a means of... Sign in to see full entry.

Last night, I posted that sixty four people were injured in the bomb blasts in Uganda that targeted a group of fans who sat gathered to watch the final games on television. I need to make a correction to that post. Last night, sixty four people were killed, including one American. Sadly, I have just... Sign in to see full entry.
