Well, here is a copy of what I said in church today:

I am transgender.

You might have guessed that, I mean, I don’t really know how well I “pass” so maybe you can tell by looking at me.

Getting involved with fictional characters is up to each individual.

While I don't have a high output to begin with, I suspect it may drop off for a few weeks. The kids are out of school and when they're not tying up the computer, they're still up and about. It was much easier to write around them when they couldn't read...

I only mention this because I know some readers are waiting for continuations. But my available writing time, which was small already, has shrunk a lot.

This is just venting, but I feel the need to put it out there so I can get rid of it. This just happens to be the venue I'm in this morning.

Basically I messed up last night and got hurt.

Hi all,

I have published my twentieth ebook Salvations at Amazon. Like all my books, it's now only available in the Kindle format. It was originally workshopped here on BCTS as "Saving Us" and has been edited and revised a bit, but at the risk of decreasing my sales, if you have "Saving Us" you've pretty much got it already.

Has anybody heard from karen page latlely as she has not added any stories for quite while?

I looked at the Huffpost entry re Texas bigotry, and found this. Pardon me while I weep happy tears,

Today is D-Day. A day to honor all those who went and did what they had to do, to ensure the freedom we all cherish. Take a moment today to remember all those who risked everything, to help give US everything. Some came back, some did not. Thank a Veteran today.

My test results are mixed. The good - there is no arterial blockage in my coronary arteries. Great! Now for the not-so-good - my case is ideopathic, without an identifiable cause for the weak area in my heart nor for the low ejection fraction. The electrophysiologist indicated that it could be as simple as a viral inflamation in some of the coronary arteries. It could be amplified by the diuretics I was taking in hope of delaying my next kidney stone (I've had 5 - and the last was 16mm!). It could have been amplified by another med that I was on.

It isn't ingrates. We have people passing judgment on books without even reading it. I called out one of these people. Here and here I offered to refund the purchase price of my ebook if he could answer two questions to prove he or she purchased it. Guess what-

Well, I didn't wanna worry anybody, but I have been in a pretty bad way the last couple of days in terms of depression.

A few weeks ago, I got up from my computer, took 3 steps, and blacked out, getting a significant concussion from the fall. The ER did their normal 'check he head' thing, and then they did an EKG to see WHY I fell in the first place. It showed 'probable septal infarc'. Needless to say, that got the doctors' attention.

After a stress test and echo-cardiogram, I know that there's a weak area in my heart, and my heart efficiency is about half of what it should be. Tomorrow, I go in for a cath and probable stent to fix the problem.

I worked a 12 hour day went to check my emails and found one from the TdF organisers about my training in a couple of weeks time. I clicked on the link and it reverted to one that was sent in March or February. I tried to write to them about it and my email provider logged me out, which it's been doing for sometime--one evening it logged me out ten times in as many minutes. I suspect as soon as the UK stages of the TdF are completed I'll be changing my ISP I've had enough. Anyone contemplating using Talktalk - don't, they are complete and utter crap.
