Christmas Cards

As of yesterday I am officially on the depressed side of my scale of ratings and knowing that, and admitting to it, already makes me feel a lot more hopeful that things will start looking up soon.
Early in the morning, I sat at the table making cigarettes and I just wanted to give up and [...]

Helmet Images number 2.

Well, as they say in the Netherlands, now my wooden shoe breaks. I fell asleep sometime during the afternoon, after consuming a large amount of chocolate, which may or may not work as a sleep inducer, although I have been told it works as a aphrodisiac as well, although I sure didn’t notice that. Then, [...]

I am not sitting here in my regal red bathrobe, but in my clothes, as that is what I was wearing when I fell asleep on the sofa last night. I hadn’t planned to fall asleep there, it sort of overtook me by surprise and before I knew it, I was gone from [...]

Nouri in Chair Images number 2.

It’s 3:30 in the morning and I am sitting here in my beautiful soft red bathrobe that my daughter gave me last night and that she lugged all the way from Texas with her. It’s so soft and comfortable, it feels like a queen’s robe made of the finest velvet. Needless to say, I was [...]

Livingroom Images number 10

It’s 5 o’clock in the morning and I am sitting here freezing my buns off, so I have put on an extra sweater and turned the heater up a bit higher. You know, it is always coldest in the morning before the sun rises. The earth has cooled down and there is just no [...]
