  As soon as my schedule lightens up I'll finally be able to get back to seeing doctors for the transitioning.Things are still going good at the museum for now.  Our hearts are still healing, but I have been noted and singled out at meeting for stepping up and solving problems.  Both the museum presid...

• Being very open

  by Meredith Newton April 9, 2008
  I was switched over to the U-505 today.  As usual, I had in my earrings.  During some of my routine I make little jokes here and there at myself.  While in the Petty Officers' quarters, right before I move the group into the Control Room, I say the following:"Now, before we go, first, I don't k...

• Really coming out

  by Meredith Newton April 6, 2008
  This week I will be calling my "new" doctor to schedule an appointment.  I really miss my other doctor.  She was not only a great doctor but also a very attractive black woman.  I wish I could look like her!I came out to another co-worker last night.  I was going to tell her last week when...

• Depression has lifted

  by Meredith Newton March 24, 2008
  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, mayb...

• Getting by

  by Meredith Newton March 7, 2008
  I have been back to working out again, although nowhere near as much as I would prefer.  The thing is, as I posted in the Forums, a long time back I bought a beautiful dress at the local resale shop without trying it on.  It looked like the right size, and wasn't.  I tried it on again last Saturday ...

• I survived the purge

  by Meredith Newton February 23, 2008
  A short time back I mentioned how my entire department had to reapply, and reinterview, for our jobs.  Just after I was promoted to full time, too.    I found out today that I am being kept on.  One of my coworkers, though, is being given the run around and told she has to wait until Tuesday to find...

  My new insurance just kicked in.  What I need to do now is to make an appointment with my new doctor and get the ball re-rolling with transitioning.  Fun stuff!My kid spent Friday night at my flat, and we did some running around Saturday.  We had such a good time.  It made me miss her all that much ...

• Here we go again

  Some changes going on............For the moment I am going to have to put HRT on hold.  The reason for this is insurance.  I just found out my benefits as a now full-time employee and need to find out if I can keep my current doctors or find a new one.The Dirty Bird is no more.  The car hasn't moved...

• The New Year

  by Meredith Newton January 6, 2008
  Lilienne, it looks like that latest good luck charm you sent me has worked again.  Since I already wrote about my job situation in the Forums, I won't rehash it here.  It's just nice to know that my hard work is paying off.  I might not be at the top of the world, I'm not at the bottom, either.  Com...

• More insanity

  by Meredith Newton December 21, 2007
  Last week was my four year anniversary here at TW.  Wow.  As I've said before, it is amazing what life is like for me now as opposed to back then.I am going to utilize this vital contact Robyn Webb provided to me in order to make sure I can finally start my transitioning next year.  I am supposed to...
