Just found out that my sister has terminal cancer. It was found in her lungs, but has been discovered to be in her bones and lymph system as well. Currently the medical profession have no idea how long she has, and will be discussing chemotherapy with her tomorrow. Regardless, the chemo will only prolong the inevitable.

My sister and I are close, ( Read more... )

2009 has been a fairly eventful year for me, one full of changes and alterations to the way I live my life; most of which has been good ( Read more... )

A little out of order, but here's the continuation of our Melbourne trip.

We woke up relatively early at my sister's place.  We had to head back to my Dad's place to start going through the new shipment of my belongings that he had collected from my old apartment.  Dad had already exaggerated about how many boxes I had to go through, so I wasnt ( Read more... )

August was a harrowing month for me.  Matt and I officially ended or relationship around August 13.  I didn't bother officially ending anything with Steve.  That had ended well and truly months before, and he felt no need to voice it.  In fact, he didn't say a word to me from August 13 till I left. Matt was upset, and did want to try again, but I ( Read more... )

Woke up nice and early on day 2, and after getting dressed, having a wrestle with Gaige (my Dad's dog, who  I need to get a few pics of), Jyan and I set out to have breakfast at an old haunt of mine, Holy Cannoli.  Both Lara and Bev were in they're usual form, and were really pleased to see me and meet Jyan.  Both commented on how much weight I've ( Read more... )

 I was over at my Dad's place this evening, and I took my jacket off cause I was feeling hot.  Dad took one look at me and said "Geez your shoulders are getting broad, son".

I'm smiling from ear to ear.

Went to my sister's place yesterday.  I haven't seen my sister for about a month and a bit.  Life has been busy for both of us, and she was contagious with the flu for a while and time slipped away from us.  Anyway, I went yesterday and my grandniece (my sister's granddaughter) wanted to show me her Wii.  I thought, what the hey?

Man, I had great ( Read more... )

This weekend started out great. Went to the Sircuit on Friday night and really tied one on. Had a great time and stumbled home about 3ish in the morning. Haven't done one of those in ages ( Read more... )

I just got back from my sister's place where I finally managed get another game of M&M in for the girls.  I've mentioned this before, but I can't get over how could these nieces of mine are at role playing.  Today's session was a bit of a tough one, where the kids had to deal with their guardian (Aunt) put her foot down and told them that under no ( Read more... )

On Sunday, we had another family gathering to attend, this one a Baptism for little Elisha Caitlin.  The actual ceremony was a bit of a laugh, with the priest hitting us with one-liner after another, it had us wondering when he was going to get his stand-up routine.  There were three kids to be done, and I was surprised by the number of godparents ( Read more... )
