Note: Just for a change from my usual writing, I thought I’d write a description of some of the places I’ve seen in my dreams. I’ll start off by writing about my visit to Rotterdam, Holland. ROTTERDAM The moment I arrived here, I knew I had stepped straight into a VanGogh painting. Colours of every... Sign in to see full entry.

Roommie's watching tv at the moment, and after we'll go heat up some leftovers for lunch. After that, I'll do some stretches and get started writing a couple more letters. A card for Juliet in London, and a letter to Kamilla in Belgium. Thanks to my darling Grandmummy kabu, I'm also feeling the itch... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm really pleased with myself these last few days. Been doing my stretching excersices and been able to use the peddler for about fifteen minutes a couple of times each day! I'll slowly increase the workout time over the next few weeks. I'm doing my best to be as careful as possible. The old... Sign in to see full entry.

Mum came for coffee, and she stayed for quite a while. Usually, she's only able to stay for about an hour or so. Today she was here for almost two! I actually love it when Mum comes to visit. Especially during those long, boring, sad months when I can't get outside. Other than Roommie, she's usually... Sign in to see full entry.

Okay, where the heck is Mum??!! I rang her about half an hour ago, and she said she'd be on her way as soon as she finished her first cup of coffee and finished folding her laundry. She's still not here! People always expect me to follow their schedules. They never seem to take into consideration... Sign in to see full entry.

Mum's coming for coffee in a few minutes, so I'm afraid this post will have to be a quick one. I should be able to come back and write more a bit later though. On a sadder note, it was three years ago today that my sweet little Meeko (my Diabetic cat) went to sleep for the last time. I miss that... Sign in to see full entry.

I love my Mum to death, but there's one thing about her that drives me nuts! Every so often when we're chatting on the phone, and I'm trying to tell her something, she interrupts me. She did it again tonight. I sometimes do that to people, but once I've caught myself I always apologise. I don't... Sign in to see full entry.

This one is dedicated to my wonderful Grandmummy kabu and our dear wiley John... The card you sent me a couple of weeks ago is now sitting beside my laptop on the desk! I sit here with a smile on my face as I see the cat with the huge grin on its face and it's paws outstretched in a hug! I think of... Sign in to see full entry.

Since I found Kamilla on facebook a few days ago, we've left emails and chatted each other up a bit. I still can't believe we actually found one another again! After losing contact with her just about eleven years ago, I didn't think it would happen. Kamilla is so sweet! One of the first things she... Sign in to see full entry.

That's how I'm feeling today. I'd really like to tell my body in no uncertain terms to go to hell, but I think it's already there. Still, the sun is shining, so life's not all bad. It really can't be, can it? I can still get out of bed every morning, and do all the things I need to do for myself.... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm not well. I'm not sick, but not well. My hips are very sore, and all I want to do is sleep. Can't sleep right now, so I'm going stay up until tonight, to make sure I do. I'm just tired. Tired of everything. I can't take much more of being trapped. Sign in to see full entry.

She trudges through snow looking neither left nor right, backward nor forward. She doesn’t know where she is, but strangely is unafraid. This is Kiev, after all. Somehow, she’ll find someone who’ll help her get back home. Home. So far away now, but never from her sight. Every sight, smell, street... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm so proud of my friend Kamilla! When we first started exchanging emails, she told me that she works for the European comission of the PETA foundation. I'm sure you're all familiar with the organisation, but for those of you who may not be, PETA stands for PEOPLE FOR THE ETHICAL TREATMENT OF... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Groundhog day, my friends! I can't believe it's that time of year again! The sun is shining, so I wonder...will our furry little friend the groundhog see his shadow today? Hopefully not. I'm itching for the springtime! January is the worst month of for me. The winter just seems to drag itself... Sign in to see full entry.

Okay, so the other day I mentioned I don't know the Polish word for joy. I was so excited to find my friend Kamilla that I wanted to learn her word for joy or happiness. This got me to thinking, I'd also like to learn the Russian and Ukrainian words. So, today that's what I'm going to do. I still... Sign in to see full entry.

Roommie went out on some errands today, so I asked her to please pick me up a sympathy card for Becky and Walter and Walter Senior. I'll write it out and mail it as soon as possible. After mentioning that card, I got to thinking. I owe a couple of people here a big thank you, so what better way to... Sign in to see full entry.

Today has definetly been our lucky day! As I reported over the weekend, our washing machine broke down and is beyond repair. This morning, Roommie rang round to a couple of appliance shops, and the cheapest they sell is over five hundred dollars. Of course, we can't afford such a price at the... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Monday, everyone... Well, I'm pleased to say that the fog I was feeling over the weekend has lifted a bit. I managed to make a couple of phone calls that needed making, and one of them is about to turn into something very positive, and I'm thankful for that. I've finally decided, after long...

Hi everyone... It being Sunday, I've left the laptop off for most of the day. It's dark outside now, which makes things easier on my eyes. My pressure headaches are back, so I'm trying to be careful. Didn't do much of anything today. We never got up until 10:00 this morning. Didn't sleep well last... Sign in to see full entry.
