Dear everybody,
I realized I've been gone from here for almost a month. And what a month it's been! I did activism in D.C. resulting in my 24th & 25th arrest (by the way I've only been to jail for civil disobedience. nothing bad). During the same trip, I also bruised my knee very badly and was in bed for an entire week mostly. Lastly, I attended our community's local Pride parade where I made $80.00. I didn't realize it had been so long since I've been here until I logged on today for some reason and found that my last post was on 4/19.

In other news, my knee is on the mend. Thank God! And my cat is missing. I think he jumped out the window when the apartment owners installed new ones today. At first, I thought he was just hiding somewhere, but I haven't seen him in hours. I hope he's fine. I'm worried. He's never been outside at night before and it'll be dark in about an hour. Wish me luck in finding him.

Let's see. Update. What should I tell you? Still single. Bah humbug. Finished my poems for the poetry competition and submitted them. Didn't chicken out because my childhood idol poet is the judge. Fairly proud of myself about that. Had another visit to the ER because the knee was acting weird. God, I hate the ER. Now, they referred me to a pain specialist which I wanted before but no one would refer me too. I think they're just tired of me coming in there.

Spent lots of time planning this crazy three day novel adventure. One of the things I'm doing to prepare is getting my guest room ready for my typist to come and stay over. In order for that to happen, I need to get a new vacuum, new sheets, and move my extra chairs against the wall. I've already drafted a specific assistant to this job.

In other news, I'm going to the NAMAC conference in Boston. I hope my knee doesn't give me any trouble. It seems to be on a two week cycle. It'll be fine and even seems to be getting better. But then, exactly fourteen days from it's last flair it will act up again. I know. I've been keeping track. Oddly enough, I'm starting to dread Saturday. The next flair day if this schedule keeps up is during the three day novel contest. That's totally unacceptable. I'll go to the doctor and see what he can offer me. I'll even take scary drugs or consider surgery and for me, as you know, is a lot. But, I just want it to stop and my life to go back to normal.
