When life throws you pies, make pie-monade.

Time for a much needed update. Life has been a bit crazy as of late. My mom had been very sick for a long time. Around the holidays her poor health became even worse. In and out of the hospital and eventually into hospice. At the end of February she past away. I miss her terribly. It's bittersweet. She was sick and in so much pain for so long I am glad her suffering is over... but I wish she was still here. With Mother's Day right around the corner it's going to be a difficult time to get through.

My RA (Rheumatoid arthritis) has been out of control so things have been tough. Recently I had some lab work come back abnormal which has resulted in more test which again resulted in yet more test which thus gave us no info at all. So now I get to go see another Doc which will probably refer me to yet another Doc. I think they all just want my co-pay. BTW, May is National Arthritis Month. I'm really not sure how one is suppose to observe/celebrate/acknowledge this, but I guess I will do so by going in to have some medications infused! WooHoo! meh.

Posted an update on Ashton's World if you would like to see a picture of his "new" brother and sister. Oh, and yes, they have anime inspired names.

On theO front: Not much to report on my end. Things have actually been pretty quiet. Remember, scans from manga and screen captures from anime do not count as your personal fan art.

Keep on keepin' on, laters ya'll.
