Been A Long Time Coming

So I know it's been forever. Yes I'm a slacker. I was also blocked out of my own account thanks to Google buying Blogspot and only allowing me to log in with my Google account which wasn't connected to my blog. I'm sure many others have had this same issue over the past two years. Ah well, that's taken care of now.

Some updates with me over the past couple of years even though I'm sure I'm only writing this for myself at this point are:
I can officially call myself a published author as I have won the Canadian Poet's Society's short story contest.
I also, as of September 14th, will have completed all of my testing and assessments for kidney and pancreas transplants as I have been a type 1 diabetic all of my life and have renal failure due to the diabetes. After that it will just be waiting.
I am still married to Terri Lynn and we still have 2 adorable cats and one annoying one. I can't tell you who the annoying one is because they take turns but at least they all take turns being adorable as well.
I am on a good deal of medications for all of my illnesses and they do not help but they aren't supposed to help. They are to help maintain the abilities that I have for as long as possible so that I do not die before a transplant is available.

To leave on a positive note I have many friends that are not just users but enjoy spending time with me and vice-versa and I hope to be able to enjoy these friendships for many years to come.

Enough with that...regular (more uplifting) blogs soon to follow.
