A simple twist of fate

    As I wrote in the Forums, I am now fully out to my family.  I had a few drinks yesterday to help myself feel better.  Stupid reason.  My folks were not happy.  I wasn't stewed, but it was obvious.

    Then, at dinner, through a torrent of tears, I told my dad that I am transsexual, my name is Meredith, and that I plan on transitioning.  He was a little upset that I didn't come to him sooner with this.  Afterwards he was in a great mood, as if he suddenly understood so much.  He accepted me.  He won't throw me out.

    I had another great time with my daughter.  I picked her up Friday afternoon and we had fun.  I watched High School Musical for the fourth time.  It was a special airing as the cast showed how to do the dances.  Being a Psycho Ninja I didn't think it was wise to try.  My kid did a great job.

    My wife was away on a business trip this week.  If there was any time for me to worry if she was seeing anyone was this week.  She didn't, of course, nor did I care.  I did pick her up from the airport.  It made sense to bring her and my kid home at the same time, rather than have her take a cab.  For a moment there it felt like old times.  But, yet, she was quite distant.  In all fairness, she had had a very long and difficult time getting back, so she was tired.  I did it because I wanted to.  Not because I was thinking it would get me anywhere, but to show her I could still be relied upon.

    Today I woke up feeling lousy.  Then, the unthinkable happened.  While the train was pulling in to the station I blacked out.  The only thing I knew was I was lying on the ground and all these people were trying to help me up.  I got on the train, only to go into the city and turn right around and come back.  I think I not only got my nephew's bug, but this stress took its toll on me.

    So, here I go again..............
