I am so frustrated. Open Diary has not worked since Saturday. I realize now just how much I depend on OD. I realize how much I need OD and the special friends I have made on OD. I have checked out other diary sites but they aren’t the same. Does anyone have one they can recommend? I guess I will just have to write on Word Perfect and then when OD is up and running I will paste all my entries in.

The first thing I plan to do is download my diary and put it on a CD.

I will try to go through all my entries and delete the worse ones so that if my family ever reads it they won’t get hurt.

The big question I have is:

What if OD stops working for whatever reason? How would we ever get in touch with each other?

Yesterday was a "BAD" day for me. For whatever reason I was depressed. I went to my studio but didn’t do anything terrific. I am not sure why. My friend stopped by and I realized how much I enjoy when she comes. The only problem is that lately she has been too busy to come.

I am not sure if I was feeling the pressure of getting ready for the holidays. I have a lot of cooking and baking to do.

I was suppose to have lunch with my son today but he is going to pick up my daughter at the airport so it’s cancelled. Instead I will stay home and start cooking and baking.

My friend gave me a recipe for a Danish Chocolate Chip Cake. I use to make it years ago. It’s easy so I will bake that today and also a honey cake.

I will also make some brisket, turkey, chopped liver, noodles, meatballs, vegie stew, etc. I will just defrost some chicken soup from the freezer. It isn’t hard to make a soup but there is so much to do after what with separating the soup from the chicken and vegies so I have decided to use from the freezer.

I’m not having many people on Wednesday night. Just my kids but I always make too much.

So I will try to go back to bed now and maybe, just maybe if I’m lucky OD will be up and running when I get up again.
