Christy's couch

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.

Belle must have known that we weren't too pleased that she asked if S. could join us for the weekend. Roommie rang her a few minutes ago, and Belle told her that since S. isn't allowed to be here, they won't be able to come, since there's no one else who can give them a lift here and home. I hate to... Sign in to see full entry.

First off, I have to apolgise. The other day, someone here asked me if she hadn't just read the same bits from LENA'S story. Yes, she had, I replied, but there was also new reading there as well. The reason is that I have to re-post the stories in their entirety because I'm unable to high light only... Sign in to see full entry.

Belle rang this morning to ask whether we'd mind having her and the kids for the weekend. We don't, of course, and happily invited them to stay until Sunday, provided Belle could arrange a ride home for them all. But she's just done something which irritates me no end. Her only means of getting here... Sign in to see full entry.

I just went to the Anne Frank website and signed the condolence registry for Miep Gies. I felt privileged to leave loving thoughts for such a wonderful, selfless, courageous woman. She never thought herself a hero, but she helped a young girl leave the world an incredible gift. I read some of the... Sign in to see full entry.

I love my laptop. Really, I do. But there are some days, like today, I wonder if I should just put the poor girl out of her misery! Let me explain... I try very hard to make sure I take very good care of our laptop. Especially since our old pc still has an infection we've not been yet able to... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... Hope you've all had a great day so far. This is literally the first chance I've had to sit and write any sort of post today. We got up early (for us), but I'm not quite up to par today, so it took us forever to get moving. The sun is shining but we're still buried under a ton of snow.... Sign in to see full entry.

I didn't get the chance to post this the other day when I was posting my other novel contenders, but here is the beginning of Nikolai's story. Enjoy! MOURNING DOVES PART ONE NIGHTMARES Another year has begun. He wakes this morning, looking forward to going back to work today. His students, however,... Sign in to see full entry.

I remember when I was a little girl, I had to take occupational therapy. I hated it...every single minute of it. As far as I was concerned, it singled me out from the kids who didn't have trouble with their hands. It made me feel more different in ways I already knew I was. It was meant to help...

Well what do we know? I just checked my account and the sods over at the electric company FINALLY took their payment! YIPPEE! Now I can finally order the Christmas gifts I've been looking at for the men in my family. Actually, I managed to sneak in a bit of my shopping last night. I ordered the...

Why is it then whenever I try to be good and pay my bills either ahead of schedule or right on time (whenever this is possible for me) the person or people I'm trying to pay off delays taking the money I owe them to the last possible minute of a second? I ordered a couple of things from amazon the... Sign in to see full entry.

Hello everyone... What a Tuesady! I sit here writing this post and looking out the window at heaps of snow on the ground and heaps more falling down. It started just after eleven o'clock last night, and apparently it's supposed to snow straight through sometime tomorrow. Roommie and I both said the... Sign in to see full entry.

I don't mean to whinge, so I must ask you all to ignore the post I wrote first thing this afternoon. That being said... I hate days like this one. I want to write tons, but I'm lucky if I can get a hello and see y'all later outta me. The nausea is gone, but I'm still a wreck. The water is helping,... Sign in to see full entry.

There are times when I wish I had more money. I don't say this for any sort of selfish reason...not at all. It's just that I feel so helpless right now. Why is it right that people live in needless poverty? There are many who have money who give...but so many of us, whether we have self-gained... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, here we are in the midst of another Monday. Ugh! I hate Mondays. Dunno know why, really. I mean, it's not as if I have to go to school or work or anywhere pressing. I've just always hated Mondays, and I always will. Paris, I'm afraid, has been smashed into bits. The Gestapo is laughing at... Sign in to see full entry.

The Gestapo is smashing through Paris again. The pain started in my tailbone a few hours ago, and now it's in both hips. I haven't had any nausea as yet, and I pray I won't have. There's nothing worse than feeling as if you're going to vomit when you can't. No position is comfortable at the moment.... Sign in to see full entry.

The sun is shining. I so wish I could go outside. I wish I could ride a bicycle and feel the wind kissing my face as I whizzed past. Sign in to see full entry.

No sooner did I write that last post then I found an Elvis puzzle! I just rang Grammy to let her know, and she was so grateful and happy. She's actually going to put it together for a friend of hers who's an Elvis fan. Thank you Grandmummy Kabu for your help. I'm off to play a game or two of WHEEL... Sign in to see full entry.

I swear, my Grammy is just the cutest thing ever. She makes us laugh all the time. Today, though, she called to ask for my help. I was honoured, of course. Grammy now has a laptop, and is able to browse online fairly well. But there's this one website she just couldn't figure out, no matter how hard... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I'll be in and out of blogit tody. Mum's coming for coffee after work this afternoon, and I need a shower today, which I'll go for in a minute or two. Don't worry though, I'll be back later on to give you all some more to read and think about! I've just gotten the electric bill via my... Sign in to see full entry.
