"I fell asleep on the floor last night. It was the worst night's sleep ever!" These were the first words my nephew said, after exchanging salutations, with the rest of the family. He has come to our house for a weekend visit. And, as he plopped down on the chair, in the living room, he continued. "It is total HELL, sleeping on a floor."
"You should ( Read more... )

It is funny...
Night 5 without my bed was just AWFUL! And, when I first laid down on the floor, during night 5, I was WIPED out. I thought sleep would come easily. But, as yesterday's post pointed out, I was sadly mistaken. It took me FOREVER to fall asleep, even though I was beyond tired. During night 5, as I laid down on the blankets, it was one ( Read more... )

Before we get into night 5...

December 18. The start of my two-week break from school. And, if you will remember, it is also the day that I have planned to begin the sacrifice of giving up my computer. Truth be told, when I started this project, on October 25, I thought that all of the sacrifices I will work, would be difficult to some degree. Even ( Read more... )

Maybe it was the date to Medieval Times, that took place yesterday afternoon. God knows that, before going into the auditorium, I walked more than my fair share. It was his first time there, and I wanted to make sure that he saw everything. So, we walked through the little museum, where they show all the ancient tools, used for torture. (Oh, such a ( Read more... )

So, before I go into the experience, that was night 2 without my bed, I would just like to write out that, as of today, I will be hopping on my bicycle, and making my way to the grocery store, down the street. Not for groceries--though I may just go ahead and take care of that, as well. (Especially since I saw a recipe for a soup, in one of my ( Read more... )

Two crocheted afghans, one put on top of the other. These were to sleep on top of. A quilt, and a fleece blanket to go over me. And a pillow. This was my "bed" last night...and will be for the next 14 nights, as well.
Night 1 without my bed...
IS THIS PARTICULAR SACRIFICE FINISHED YET!!! Can't I just pretend that last night was more than one night-- ( Read more... )

So, before we get into day 15 without my vehicle, I would like to take a moment to choose the next sacrifice. First, let me take a drink of the beer, sitting right beside my computer. Okay...done. Now, time for me to plunge my hand down into that purple Crown Royal bag, and stir around the papers, within. And, as I get ready to do this, I feel ( Read more... )

Today was an easy enough day, without my vehicle. In fact, I hardly missed it, at all. There was really no need to go anywhere, and so, I spent my day at home. God knows there was enough to do around the house. I spent my morning, cleaning the kitchen. And for the rest of the day, I crocheted. I am happy to say that I got a fair amount of ( Read more... )

In my entry, titled Day 10 Without My Vehicle, I wrote about how I would have to plan out two more of the sacrifices, in order to make this whole challenge work. One of them, going without talking for 15 days, was an easy one to plan for. I simply plan to work this sacrifice, at the end of my challenge. Because, as I have already said, this ( Read more... )
