Depression has lifted

    I just got done going through a bad period.  The depression that affected me for a few weeks seems to be leaving.  We are still in shock at work.  Last week, me, Robyn and Robert all sat there at lunch with tears in our eyes.  What used to be a sanctuary was so mercilessly taken from us.  Okay, maybe that was a little overly dramatic, but you have to understand that no matter how bad things got for me, I had two places: Trannyweb and the museum. 

    I was/am also dealing with some financial problems.  I'm also far behind on my writing contracts.  I'll get through it.  But all these things came together enough for people like Josie and Lilienne to note a change in my behavior. 

    I just was offered another part-time teaching assignment, which helped my mood.  The thing is, I first/last spoke to these people almost three years ago, just before I was kicked out.  After the separation, they called me three times within two days to tell me they had nothing for me.  Suddenly, a few weeks ago, they called me back and wanted to offer me a class.  It was a bit weird going back there when all I could do was associate our first meeting with just prior to the yearlong nightmare.

    I came out to more people at work.  One of them joined the site under the name Mary Mulberry.  I am also starting to get a little impatient about transitioning.  At the rate I am going I will be fully out at work very soon.
