Hi everyone... I hope you're all having a wonderful Sunday! It's still hot and sticky here, and we're expected to get thunderstorms sometime this afternoon. Not looking forward to that! I'm praying that it will finally cool down tomorrow. I didn't bother making coffee this morning. I'm drinking... Sign in to see full entry.

OUR FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH VYKTOR HIMSELF
My question is one only God Himself can answer. If I am not to be denounced, I will denounce no one. No harm will come to anyone who comes to me for safe haven, so long as I am able to protect them. It is the second day in this new year, 1945. I have no way of knowing when the war will end. I can... Sign in to see full entry.
THE LAZINESS IS COMMENCING NICELY!
So after my last post, I decided to watch a bit of television instead of writing...which I will do in just a few minutes. I must say, it's sooooo nice just to be lazy for a change! I think I'll give myself a lazy Sunday as well! All this heat and humidity is making me very uncomfortable, so the... Sign in to see full entry.
LAZY STICKY SATURDAY
Good Lord! I woke up this morning feeling even more sticky and uncomfortable than yesterday! The heat is unfortunately supposed to continue straight through tomorrow, and they're predicting thunderstorms for us as well. YIKES! I hate thunderstorms. Have ever since I was a little kid. Today is going... Sign in to see full entry.

VYKTOR RETURNS...THANK YOU, MANDALEE!
“Poka, you must stop this,” Yakov cries. “You are not well, and you must not give your food to Olga and I!” He looks down at my feet, and I notice tears welling in his eyes. “Does the cane help?” I take his hand. It’s so cold! “Dadi, I have more than enough food. You and Babi supply me with more... Sign in to see full entry.
HELP! VYKTOR AND I NEED YOU!
Hi gang... I'm having some serious problems getting only select pages to highlight from Vyktor's story into here. I don't want to keep highlighting the whole thing, and I'm really stuck! Does anyone here know if there are shortcuts I can use from my keyboard to highlight and copy only the sections... Sign in to see full entry.
MISERABLE FRIDAY...BAD WEEKEND AHEAD
Or at least, that's how things are shaping up. Roommie left a little over an hour ago, so now I'm on my own for a few days, maybe longer than expected. It's okay though. For the time being, it's probably best that way. When I woke up this morning, I felt fine. Had a nice, light breakfast and coffee... Sign in to see full entry.

FRANTIC THURSDAY
Hi everyone... I hope you've all had a good day. Thank goodness the weekend is nearly upon us! I haven't been here until now because Margaret and I are trying to get her ready for her monthly trip to Belle's tomorrow. She still needs to pack, and there's still some house chores to be done. This... Sign in to see full entry.

WE NOW CONTINUE WITH VYKTOR
Here it is, my friends...Vyktor's story begins again! For now, it's only the first two pages, but there will be more. It may take me a bit of time to post the next bit because I need to figure out how to copy and paste without re-pasting the whole thing. If only I had a proper mouse! I will write...

A BRIEF INTERMISSION
Hello everyone... I will be getting on with Vyktor's story today. I had planned on continuing our saga last night, but by the time we got home, I was too busy getting distracted by other things! Ah, such is the mind of a spastic, scatter-brained woman! The next bit of the story is going to take me... Sign in to see full entry.

MARMADUKE ROCKS!
Hi everyone... I hope you've all had a wonderful day! We certainly did! The weather was gorgeous, not too hot, but not cold at all. Looking forward to another cinema trip at the end of July. Sadly, I was only impressed by two of the movie trailers, so I believe I was correct in assuming there won't... Sign in to see full entry.
OFF AND BARKING
It's a beautiful day outside. Warm and sunny, not a dark cloud in the sky! We're leaving to see MARMADUKE soon, so have a lovely day my wonderful friends and I will be back this evening. Sign in to see full entry.

A STORY BEFORE OUR STORY
Here it is, my friends...The prologue to Vyktor's story. Enjoy! A MOST DANGEROUS ENCOUNTER PROLOGUE A STRANGER’S EYES Another hectic Tuesday evening at the university library. It’s crowded, but thankfully most of the students and staff here alike know me fairly well by now and are patient. I’ve been... Sign in to see full entry.
WHAT A MONDAY!
No, we didn't make it out today, just in case y'all haven't noticed yet When we woke up this morning, we both suddenly remembered that we had to take some money out of my account first, so the outting has been rescheduled for tomorrow early afernoon.

SIDETRACKED! DINNER AND THEN ON TO VYKTOR
Sorry my friends! I'm guilty as charged! I meant to come back and write much, much earlier, but I got sidetracked! I decided to put off the shower. Had one yesterday-I usually can't take one every day because of a skin condition I've had since the age of six-and anyway, I don't really need one until... Sign in to see full entry.
INTO ANOTHER SUNDAY
Goodness, is it really 13 June already? This month is just flying past, it seems! The skies here are still a dismal grey, but never mind. Perfect weather for lounging about and being lazy if one so desires...which we do! I'm going to have another shower in a bit because we have to be up extra early... Sign in to see full entry.

FOR ANNE...A RE-POST
Today would have been Anne Frank's eighty-first birthday. In honour of her, I'd like to re-post something I wrote a while ago. I know many of you have read this before, so I hope it won't bore you.

TRAGEDY HAS STRUCK VYKTOR
I don't know how to break this to you all...I am so angry and sad that I can't begin to imagine how you're all going to feel. But I'm afraid there is bad news for Vyktor. His story has vanished. I tried to post the latest bit here about an hour ago, and somehow it got deleted. Both roommie and I... Sign in to see full entry.
A CHANCE TO MEET ME IN AVINGNON
I'm nearly ready to return to Vyktor, but in the meantime I'm going to re-post AVINGNON thus far to give some of my new readers a chance to catch up. Also for anyone looking to re-read what's been written so far. Enjoy! AVINGNON Note: We have left Paris, and are now in Avingnon. I have never... Sign in to see full entry.
SLEEPY SATURDAY...SHOWERS AHEAD
It looks like rain here again today. What a drag! Aw, well. I just wish it would hurry up and get warm here like it was a few weeks ago! I'm really starting to miss all that lovely, life-giving sunshine! Thank you all so much for your kind comments on the continuation of Vyktor's story. Don't worry,... Sign in to see full entry.
