It's just about 12:15 in the afternoon here, so it's time for me to hit the shower! Don't worry though, I'll be back later on today. Just try not to miss me too much while I'm away. Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Thursday, my friends! Wow, is it really 1 November already???? My goodness! Where has the year gone? I'm really excited because today is the day Roommie and I were paid our monthly cheques, so we can start planning for the weeks ahead. We're going to start planning our Thanksgiving menu...

Good morning gang... I'm just wondering, has anyone here heard from Symphony? I've tried emailing her a few times, but haven't heard back. If anyone knows anything, could you please let me know? Cheers! Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Halloween, my friends! I hope you're all having a spooktacular holiday! It looks as if I may end up spending Halloween night alone. Roommie's sister rang earlier to ask if she'd spend the night with her and the kids. So, she may not be home tonight. My cousin came to pick us up this morning... Sign in to see full entry.

I was just thinking about this... Just across the yard from our flat space is a small tree. It looks gorgeous in the spring and summer, but with Fall now officially here, it looks especially lovely. Its leaves are a bright darkish red. Not quite a cranberry red, but almost I think. It's really... Sign in to see full entry.

Roommie has just come back from the grocery, and she bought me a really spooktacular Halloween present, even though it's her birthday! It's a little stuffed ghost holding a jack-o-lantern and when you press its middle it says "Happy Halloween!" and gives an evil little laugh! It's so cute! Just what... Sign in to see full entry.

I talked to my friend Sarah in Virginia briefly last night, and she informed me that she received a new laptop for her birthday. She was a Halloween baby, which makes it all the more fun, I think! My birthday being five days before Christmas isn't really so bad, either. In fact, I consider it an... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning gang... I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! Roommie and I didn't do much because we were both too tired. I'm going to tell Roommie that if our neighbours up the hill ask her to babysit again early Wednesday morning, she's to say no. Last night, they wanted her to babysit so that he...

Today is Roommie's birthday. She made it through another one...Hip, hip hooray! Today she's 35. I told her yesterday that she is now officially a member of the old goat club! I know...I know...Rotten, aren't I????.... I bought her a special breakfast for her birthday, and a new pair of pajamas (The... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi gang.... I hope you all had a fantastic Sunday. I hadn't meant to turn the computer on today, but went looking for Christmas presents. I've just been to ebay looking for some, and I think I found a perfect surprise for Roommie! Some of you may remember a couple of days ago my posting about one of... Sign in to see full entry.

Hey gang... I just came by to say goodnight. I'm worn out, even though I hardly did anything at all today. The pain has subsided a little...but very little. Roommie is babysitting early tomorrow morning for our neighbours up the hill. And when I say early, I mean eaarly!!!! Try 4:30... So, as you... Sign in to see full entry.

Good afternoon gang... I hope you're all having a great Saturday afternoon. It's raining here and very windy. Almost makes me wish I'd stayed in bed! I may end up having to stay in bed tomorrow. I'm not doing well at the moment. My back woke me up this morning. The pain is so bad I actually cried.... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi gang... This is only my second entry for today, and it'll probably be my last. For the day, I mean. I meant to write more today, but Roommie got home this morning and I've been sort of busy ever since. I'm tired again. Hope it passes soon. I'll be off to bed soon. We're going to sleep in...

Good morning gang... I just checked my email, and there was a message from my friend Volodya in Russia. I emailed him last night before bed, since I hadn't in a while. He seemed pleased and surprised to hear from me again, which was very nice. He went on holiday in September to Germany, Poland,... Sign in to see full entry.

A lot of people I know (and a lot of people I don't know) constantly tell me how brave I am. I'm not saying there's no truth whatsoever in that statement, because living with my condition requires a certain amount of bravery. This was especially true for me when I was a little girl. From the first... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi gang... Since you all know what a toy lover I am, I thought I'd share this with y'all. Did anyone here play with weeble-wobbles as a kid? I did. When I was little, we had whole bunches of 'em in our toy box. Actually, they were one of my favourite toys because they weebled and wobbled all over... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning gang... Or good afternoon if you happen to live in the UK. Wow, is it really Thursday already? Where the heck has the week gone? Ah well...the weekend suits me just fine, thank you very much! I probably won't get myself up to a whole lot this weekend though. Roommie will be home from... Sign in to see full entry.

Here I sit at 11:25 in the evening...Not much to talk about really, just not ready to lie down and sleep yet. Not because I'm not tired...I am...but my back is giving me what not at the moment. I'm amazed that it took me and my lovely orthopedic surgeon eight (yes that's right, I said eight) years... Sign in to see full entry.

Yes, today is most definitely one of those days. Earlier, I wanted a shower...that's all! I shower! Is this really so much to ask, my friends? If so, please tell me, because I will humbly bow. In case you're all wondering, yes, I did indeed get that shower in...but what normally only takes me an... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi gang... I'm off to the shower now, but before I go, I wanted to post a story that I started working on quite a while ago. Some of you may remember its beginning, some of you may not. Either way, I hope any of you who read it will enjoy... June, 1944-Somewhere in the French countryside BLESS ALL... Sign in to see full entry.
