Wow, has it been four weeks already?

Lol well I guess it's true what they say: if you enjoy doing something, it doesn't seem like work. I can say the same about my tenure at Wikipedia. I started 21  years ago, in September of 2002. On a night where I was wondering if there was  somewhere on,line with a list of recent celebrity deaths, I discovered Wikipedia and was mesmerized because here was a place that offered me a page where I could not only write about boxers other than Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson but also ,leave a mark in the world. I never imagined that so soon I was going to be joining their 20  years club, yet here I am, 20-years club member badge and all. In 2008, as my father was about to get honored by the Puerto Rican government for his own contributions to Wikipedia, I was sitting poolside at my millionaire cousin's pool when I was telling my other cousin, the not so millionaire one, that I was ready to retire! Everything on Wikipedia that needed to be written about was. How  wrong was I? Just last night I wrote about Puerto iRican television reporter Jose Esteves, who, by the way, was quite hot back in the 1980s but....time gives by!

It's been only four weeks since I started writing this blog but I have enjoyed writing it, for sure! Hopefully someday I can earn my 20 years badge here as well!

One of my cousins from Puerto Rico got married to a millionaire. Let's just say she chose well! Haha!

Talking about cousins, I have another cousin who is battling stomach cancer. She is very courageous. I want to take this opportunity to clap her and cheer her on. As you all know also,  the netrat is also battling cancer. i had a scary moment last year when they thought I had gum cancer and let me tell you, it is so scary. People who battle that disease have so much courage! We must always applaud them and let them know we love them, God loves them and both we and God are with them. 

Meanwhile, today I felt this itch all over my body. Like an antsy feeling all over it. I looked up and its caused by peripheral neuropathy, which I have because of my type one Diabetes. let me tell you, it's not such an itch as it is a bitch! I hate it. But I was worried it was something else. But I got that figured out and I thank God it isn't!

You know what is funny? That after I came out as a transgender woman, I have had good luck getting women! It's weird. But anyways, as a teenager, I had all the girls in school falling in love with me and then I'd go to the mall and men would check me out but back then, I figured they were just trying to see what young people were wearing, right? Well, now that I came out as a woman, I have men falling in love with me in hurdles but also women! First, as a kid, I never imagined that I would attract men someday and then, as a woman, I never imagined I'd attract women! 

But I'm not complaining! (*wink wink*!)

So I just asked another one of the Spice Girls, Debbie, for a suggestion about what else to write about and she said thermonuclear fusions, so here it goes. What do you know about thermonuclear fusions? I know  nothing but I'm reading Wikipedia as we speak, so here it goes: a nuclear reaction that occurs when atomic nuclei are fused together at extremely high temperatures. Hah! Sort of like when me and a few of you my readers get together! (As if! you wish!) I know some of you imagine exploding fireworks with me when you see my photo. Its all good. Dreaming is a wonderful thing.

What I was not dreaming about was last night when I put my middle left finger inside a box and something snapped, hurting me. It was awfully painful and I had to move my hand up and down for about half an hour.  

Well, amigos, that;s it for now! See you next week!!
