In looking over my past entries, apparently my computer died last July! It's a good thing I started writing this stuff down because my memory is shot.

So, you know - the computer died, luckily I had purchased a thing to download data onto...can't remember the name of it...can't remember my way home. Course, that's partly the fault of the medication I'm on. But anyway..I was able to save my artwork and photos. What really killed me was I lost my music Over 1000 separate songs...it's been gut wrenching.

Summertime was crazy busy as usual. Everyone in NY moves at double speed trying to pack in twice as much life during our very short summer here. Every weekend there is a picnic, or a fair, or a reunion...by September all I can think of is "let there be snow" just so I can rest! This summer was no different and we spent some great days by the lakes enjoying warm breezes and the sounds of our own laughter. After being estranged from my brother and his family for five years, it is a real blessing to have this togetherness again.

I felt good enough to cook the turkey at Thanksgiving for everyone, and thought everything was copasetic...until Thursday night, the 29th of November.

I'm lounging on my sofa late in the evening, watching reruns of my new favorite show - CSI:Miami - (another blog)when my chest starts to hurt. To make a long story short, and because I want to speak about the problem of heart disease in more depth later; I had a heart attack! A month ago tomorrow as a matter of fact...it was a very scary experience, I can tell you. But I'm much better now, having had stents placed in the artery that was blocked.

I'm just happy to be here blogging again though! I must be feline in nature and I've had to have gone through more than half of the nine allotted lives by now as well... The experience freaked me out quite a bit at first, but then I realized, I'm going out dancing and singing, not sitting on me arse being afraid..so, don't look for me there.

Sure am glad to be back with y'all though!
Excelsior!
