We're all in this together.....

    Last Thursday and Friday night the Disney Channel showed High School Musical again.  And I watched it both nights!  That makes six times now, and I expect the soundtrack in the mail any time.  It's actually the number one album in America!

    I have been trying to get along with my wife, but to no avail, especially with more fighting on Friday night.  I threatened her with my legal rights, essentially telling her that I intend on protecting myself at all costs.  She almost didn't let me see my daughter on Saturday.  The next morning, however, cooler heads prevailed and I did spend some time with her.  I also, once again, bought my wife a lunch.  My kid is doing fine in school, just not as well as she should be.  With tears in her eyes she again told me that it's because of how much she misses me.  My not being around is having a huge impact on her.

    I have been looking at apartments. I went to this one service on Friday not knowing they do so much!  They drove me around to all these places.  Today I might just go back to the office and get the ball rolling with this one studio apartment.  It's very close to Lake Michigan, which my daughter loves because then I could take her to the beach.  I looked at this one place on Saturday morning (before heading out to see my kid).  The location is great.  The rooms aren't, and I don't care how little the rent is!

    I have to get out of my folks' house.  My dad gets more intolerable every day.  Plus, I need to be Meredith as close to 24/7 as I can.  But the one thing about getting this apartment is how it's putting that sense of finality on my marriage situation.  Yes, I know it's over, and want it over.  Still, it's somewhat strange to now actually be at that point where I am completely on my own and not staying with friends or family.  It's finally just me.

    My eldest surving sister came out from Utah to visit.  I haven't seen her in about 2 years.  She knows all about my being transsexual and wants to give me a makeover while she's here.  I also showed her, and one of my younger sisters, my piccies.  They couldn't believe how I looked!

    Anyhow, girls, I've got some stressful times coming up. It's nothing I can't handle.  Except for the finances.
