Well, congrats to you. Gee Heather, you've been putting up with health issues for a long time, but it sounds like you've managed to sneak in a little happiness. Now, who is this Svengali that has you under his spell? Best wishes.
Oh yeah. I don't know if I'll ever dodge them. I have fibromyalgia and psoriatic arthritis and a bunch of other stuff. So I just manage them. I have good days and bad days. Luckily my soon-so-be-hubby doesn't care that I have days that I can't do much more than curl up on the couch. There are other days that I feel really good too. I just wish there were more of them.
Platypus - O' course he's moving Stateside!

He'll be with me in CA. I sent him an e-mail just to make sure he got yours. (great logic, right? lol) He's wanting to make a lot of road trips just because it's just to small over there. The longest road trip he'd been on was with me when we met my dad and step-mother over in Gilroy. (About a 4-hour drive from here.) Oh and I've been in Pete withdrawal as well....I haven't seen him since last August when I went over to see him. When he gets here it will be 8 months. Ugh
