Christy's couch

Last night, I learned that an old friend of mine from high school has to have her dog put down in a few days. Just now, I was talking on facebook to a friend who used to be our neighbour, and she informed me that their six month old puppy died in front of her and her children last night. All this...

Hi gang... Just finished lunch a few minutes ago, so I'm gonna go try to have another workout. When I come back in a few minutes, we will go and have a look in on Vyktor, da? Sign in to see full entry.

Vyktor has visited me again. But I forgot to tell you all about the third vision I had! It was some days ago now, but I remember it as clearly as the rest. Let me tell you about it. This third vision was much shorter than all the others, but no less vivid. He was carrying me in his arms, his coat... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, happy first of July everyone! I don't what the weather is like for most of you today, but here it is downright nippy! Poor Margaret had to wear her jacket out to run our errands this morning and I'm sitting here covered in a fleece pull-over! What's up with this??!! I've finally managed to get...

Happy Canada Day to all my Canuk friends here in blogland! Especially to my darlings Grandmummy kabu and Poppy wiley John! However you choose to celebrate, I hope you all have a wonderful day! Sign in to see full entry.

This post is in response to a comment left to me by Tzippy. I hope you get a chance to read this! She asks whether Vyktor is imagined or real. The only honest answer I can give is... Both. Now, I must explain... As I mentioned previously, I am wondering who will discover the link between this story... Sign in to see full entry.

Vyktor’s cross is elegant and beautiful. It is made of silver, and decorated in dark blue and purple. There is an inscription on it, but I cannot read it. For a long time, I hold it in my hands and stare at it. I suddenly realise that it too, is covered in blood. I can feel the heat of anger... Sign in to see full entry.

I've been feeling off for about three weeks now. Not only because of my back...just so much going on I don't even know where to start. If only I could get away and just go somewhere! But if I could...where would I go? I don't know. Somewhere...anywhere...I don't know. Knowing myself as I do, I'd... Sign in to see full entry.

I need more than bread and jam in my stomach, so I go back to the pantry to see if there is any fruit left in the barrels. To my luck, there are still a few apples left from the ones I bought at the market. The coffee and the bread suddenly leave a bitter sting on my throat. Do Dadi and Babi really...

Hi everyone, I'm gonna take a short break and go help Roommie and maybe get some lunch. Then I'll be back to have a look in on our poor Vyktor. Sign in to see full entry.

Normandy lies in ashes this morning. Paris still smolders. As for the rest of France? There was no escaping the Gestapo, I'm afraid. Still I have high hopes that the allies will force their way through again soon and liberate my poor inflamed spine. I have to start working on getting an adjustable... Sign in to see full entry.

The sweet trill of birdsong wakes me at last. How long have I slept here on the chair? Hours, I have no doubt. I must get up and move round, but I fear waking him. His colour is slowly improving, but his breathing remains laboured and painful. In the bathroom, I bathe and dress for the day quickly.... Sign in to see full entry.

I spoke online to a friend in Australia this morning, and he's asked me to send him a referral link for blogit. So, I'm going to do that in just a few minutes. He's also going to pass the link on to his girlfriend and daughter. I hope they'll find us an enjoyable bunch. Sign in to see full entry.

I'll be back to give you more of Vyktor very soon. I just need a shower first. I need the distraction today... Sign in to see full entry.

My dear friends, please continue your thoughts and prayers for our Maggie Mae and Offy. I'm praying even as I write this. I am absolutely heartbroken today, and reading kabu's post made me realise just how fragile our lives really are. I think I've always had a grasp on this fact, given that I...

“I must have been dreaming,” he says suddenly. His eyes have closed and the peaceful look remains on his face. “Dreaming,” I ask. “What about?” “All the while I have been sleeping, an angel comes to me and sings. So beautiful, but I do not recognise the song! My Mama and my Babi have the most... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I'm just about to get started again with our Vyktor, but before I do, I would like to ask for much needed prayers for our friends L and J. They used to be our neighbours. Roommie is on the phone with L just now, and on Memorial Day, J's, mother and step-father learned that he has... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I'll be getting on with Vyktor in a bit, but first I have to ask those of you who've been graciously keeping up with him your honest opinions. Are any of you finding the scenes in which I care for him too mushy? Too long or too wordy? I tend to be that way with my work, sometimes, so... Sign in to see full entry.

The fire is dying out. I go to the wood pile and within minutes, it is roaring again. Vyktor is sleeping. Thank you, God, for I cannot deal with any questions he may have at the moment. In the bathroom, I brush my teeth twice to remove the sour taste in my mouth. I rinse with warm water and change... Sign in to see full entry.

His breaths are still laboured and sharp and quick. I must invade his sleep to wash and re-dress his wounds. The very thought that I must intrude his body again moves me to tears. I have never been able to bare the thought of causing anyone pain…but there is something about Vyktor… At least he... Sign in to see full entry.
