The saying when it rains, it pours definitely applies today. My mum just left after having coffee with me, and she told me that the boyfriend of her pastor's mother passed away Tuesday evening after a very brief battle with bone cancer. Mum didn't know the man personally, but as she also knows her... Sign in to see full entry.
TIME OFF
Good morning gang... Well, here it is, another bright sunny Thursday morning. It's supposed to get hot, hot, HOT! Today will be in the upper 80's and tomorrow it's supposed to hit the 90's. I like a good warm spell just as much as the next person, but I can't take it being that hot. I swell up like... Sign in to see full entry.

MY LONG LOVE LETTER BEGINS AGAIN
Well, I've finally broken down and started my "love letter" to Mick again. It's so hard...I feel him with me every time I start to write. This is definitely the hardest letter I've ever written to anyone. I use the term love letter very loosely here...It is a love letter of sorts, though not the... Sign in to see full entry.
ON DAYS LIKE THIS
It's so hot here today! One of the reasons I've not been here too much today. I have the windows closed, and both fans are turned on upstairs, as is the one here in the living room. Opening the windows would just make it hotter than it already is, so they're staying put! When Mick and I were... Sign in to see full entry.

WHO WOULD YOU HEAL?
If there was someone in your life who needed some type of healing...any kind...but you were only allowed to heal one person, who would it be? I don't ask this question because it's easily asked, but rather because it isn't easily answered. My aunt once wanted me to visit her mother, a liscensed... Sign in to see full entry.
THANKS, BECKY!
Okay, so as most of you know by now, I am a HUGE cartoon fan. I especially love THE MUPPET SHOW, FRAGGLE ROCK, and anything to do with puppetry in general. One of my all time favourite shows was the one that Shari Lewis used to do on Saturday afternoons. It was a stand up type variety show and... Sign in to see full entry.
JUST STUFF
Good morning from a very rainy looking Tuesday somewhere in my little corner of the planet! I've been up and at it since 8:00, and thus far the pets have been fed and watered, I've got my torture equipment on, and already had breakfast! I've just had a bowl of those strawberry burst frosted mini... Sign in to see full entry.

JANNY CONTINUES
THE GOOD GIRLS JANNY’S STORY Warsaw, Poland-March, 1941 Another bitter morning in Warsaw. It is not the frigid air nor the snow piled on the ground that makes this so, but her own fretful dreams the night before. She has tried to convince herself that it was not real, that she had only imagined it.... Sign in to see full entry.

SO MUCH TO DO...I MAY JUST GO INSANE!
Good morning gang... And what a beautiful one it is, at that. The weather has decided to be kind to the four of us for our dinner date with Julie later on this afternoon. It's nice and bright and sunny with a good cool breeze. I'm really looking forward to seeing the three of them. Sadly, we only... Sign in to see full entry.

SLEEPLESS IN MAINE
Forget that movie with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks! I'm soooo not sleeping. My insomnia sure picked a great time to kick up a fuss again...NOT! And tomorrow afternoon Becky, Walter and I have our dinner date with Julie. Let's just hope I don't end up looking and moving about like a zombie from NIGHT OF... Sign in to see full entry.
THE HAMSTER IS RUNNING ROUND ON THE WHEEL AGAIN
I've just had a thought regarding that fictional letter to Mick...I'm going to try writing it out in story form first....Kinda creepy I know, but I find myself a better story than letter writer. I'll post it here as I go along, if you all don't mind. Probably won't get many readers for it, but I... Sign in to see full entry.
VISITNG DARK PLACES
Some of you may remember me saying quite a while back that I lost the fictional letter I'd started writing to Mick. The idea for the letter came to me after remembering an old writing assignment given me by one of my favourite teachers, Mrs. Tiemann. I thought about just letting the letter go, but...

WOULD YOU LET ME FEED YOU?
I want to feed my son. Yes, I know he's a grown man and perfectly capable of feeding himself, but I want to feed him. When he was in Tibet, the monks he stayed with encouraged him to take part in their feeding ceremony. They believe that by nourishing a person's physical body, you nourish their...

WRENCHED
And I'm pretty sure that if you twisted me round a few times my spine would simply crack up and fall to bits before your very eyes. Most people would find that thought frightening...I'd accept it with a huge sense of relief. Here I sit on a beautiful sunny Saturday morning, the sun shining brightly... Sign in to see full entry.

NOT QUITE UP TO PAR
Haven't had much of an audience here today, have? Lol...That's 'cause I've only written one other post today. At the moment, I'm sitting here typing this post to keep from screaming. I'm having those wretched leg spasms again and I don't want to cry because it'll just make the pain worse. I didn't... Sign in to see full entry.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
I was just thinking about this.... If you knew that you had to make a huge decision for yourself about something that could affect your every day abilities and you knew you didn't have much time to do so, what would you do? Would you go to visit someone you loved, or would you try to get away on... Sign in to see full entry.

EMPTY WANDERINGS
The sky is dark and filled with rain clouds this morning. This has set me off to feeling listless again. I've just been upstairs debating whether or not to vaccum the bathroom floor yet. I'll leave it until later on this afternoon. I feel empty. I feel like I've lost something, but I can't figure... Sign in to see full entry.
DISMAL
Good morning, gang... I've been up since 6:00 this morning, and already I've had my breakfast! I took a shower last night before going to bed, so that was one least thing on my agenda this morning. The reason I got out of bed so early is that I need to start wearing my braces for at least 12 hours a... Sign in to see full entry.
