Christy's couch

I've had a really strange, sad day, but I have decided to try to contact someone at Steve's zoo to make some kind of donation to them in his honour. Sometimes people ask me whether I ever get sad because I can't do certain things...Yes, I do...only sometimes...but I do. Moreover though, I think it's... Sign in to see full entry.

Since my posts of earlier today, I've been trying to think of something to write...Anything, really...But I can't get my brain to focus on anything. I hate feeling like this. I don't know why, but I keep thinking of Mick. I'm two years older than he is, but I don't know what I'd do if anything... Sign in to see full entry.

I can't stop crying.... Not just for the loss of Steve Irwin and his family....This morning I was thinking of Grammy. Grandpa, too... I hate the Labour Day holiday. I'm glad it's over with for another year. I'll be back later on...Provided Roommie and I don't have to evacuate for the flood pouring... Sign in to see full entry.

Roommie and I had a relaxing Labour Day, but this morning, we received a terrible shock...I'm sure all the television stations in Australia have broadcast the news by now...But for those who haven't heard yet, here's what we read this morning... Steve Irwin, owner of the Australia Zoo, was killed... Sign in to see full entry.

Good night, my friends... I'm on my way to bed just now. As tomorrow is Sunday, I probably won't turn on my computer. Monday being our holiday, I plan to leave it turned off as well. Fear not, I'll be back Tuesday morning with bells on!! A happy and safe Labour Day holiday to all my blogging friends... Sign in to see full entry.

I've read a couple of posts here today that made me realise how fortunate and grateful that I've never had any serious "wars" here with anyone. There was a time shortly after I started writing here I nearly left because someone left me a stupid, hateful, hurtful comment on a post I'd written about... Sign in to see full entry.

Has anyone here seen those Miracle Whip commericals with the turkeys that are trying to save themselves from becoming someone's next sandwich???? OMG...Every time I see those ads, I laugh hysterically!! They look like the chickens from CHICKEN RUN!! They even have the same adorable English accents!!... Sign in to see full entry.

I know I posted this once long ago, but this memory just came to me and I wanted to share it with those of you who may have missed it. I lived on my own for almost seven years before moving in with Roommie, though she came to visit often. One chilly Fall afternoon, we'd gone out to run some errands... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm sitting here thinking of my son again...I'm so glad he came into the world!! I pray with all my heart that one day, the Father will bless him with children of his own. He'd be so wonderful to them!! I've written before that I don't actually know whether or not it will be possible for him to... Sign in to see full entry.

Good afternoon, gang... I would have written this morning, but I didn't make it out of bed until almost 10:30. Roommie and I are going out tomorrow because we've got a lot to do today. We don't mind waiting. I hope you're all having a fantastic Saturday so far. The sun is out today, but I'm not sure... Sign in to see full entry.

Holy cow!!!! You won't believe what I've discovered...Those fools at our local public television station have FINALLY put WAITING FOR GOD back on the air!!... Last Friday night, I was in the kitchen washing the dishes...It was around 10:30, and I left the television on for Mocha...He likes the sound... Sign in to see full entry.

Mom came for coffee again tonight...It was nice to have her again. Now, though, I'm getting so tired again!! Well, I at least had some decent energy for today. I even got to work out. Good for me!!... I'm actually looking forward to my appointment with Doctor Herman at the end of the month.... Sign in to see full entry.

For lunch, I just had some noolde soup in shrimp broth. I've had the stuff before, but today when I ate it, the strangest thing started to happen to me... The broth was so salty, I couldn't drink it. I tried a couple of times, but I just couldn't get it down. It burned when I swallowed and gave me a... Sign in to see full entry.

I dreamed of my son again last night... He had sent me a letter which came to me in a dark red envelope. It was written on a pale blue sheet of paper. I'm not able to remember exactly what it said. The strange part of the dream is that enclosed with his letter was a small, milk chocolate bunny!! It... Sign in to see full entry.

My friend Sarah called me from Richmond, Virginia this morning to let Roommie and I know that Ernesto had touched down there...We knew that already, having read about it online this morning. When she rang, she said that her neighbourhood may have to be evacuated. I'm praying that won't happen. My... Sign in to see full entry.

Roommie and I have become good friends with one of our neighbours and her husband and their children. Today, she asked us a favour. Like me, she crochets...Well, okay, I'm just learning, but that's not really the point is it?... Anyway...Thursday, she's into hospital to have a cyst removed from one... Sign in to see full entry.

Roommie and I desperate to get out of here, so we've decided to venture out this weekend after all. In a little while, I'll go check out the movie listings to see if maybe there's something playing we might be interested in. Even if there isn't, we're getting outta here tomorrow!! Sunday and Monday... Sign in to see full entry.

Wow...Is it really Labour Day weekend again already?? Roommie and I don't have any plans to go out. If you ask me, the roads are just too dangerous during this holiday. When I was in high school, I lost three friends within a year of each other...And all on Labour Day. For those of you who have... Sign in to see full entry.

As I posted sometime ago, I used to teach American Sign Language to some children at an elementary school not far from my high school. I was required to do so because at the time, I was considering going into work as a translator for the deaf, hearing impaired and mute. Sadly, my skills weren't good... Sign in to see full entry.
