• Getting on with it all

  by Meredith Newton July 24, 2006
  My new flat is starting to seem like a home more and more. I really don't have any furniture other than a few small items, most of which are courtesy of Jen Jen, but I'm still loving it. I went ahead and ordered digital cable and that is put in tomorrow morning. I have the day off, so it's nothin...

• Adjustment period

  by Meredith Newton July 11, 2006
  It is now official.  I have been in my new apartment for almost a week now.  I must admit, it feels so weird.  This is my fourth place of residence since being kicked out last August (rehab, my friend, the folks, now this). It hasn't been easy, although I should feel better now that I am finally on ...

• Just trying to find what feels like home

  by Meredith Newton July 4, 2006
  ONCE AGAIN there was a delay in getting my apartment.  I've been getting paid, but the bank won't release the funds yet.  I really thought that today - my first day off in almost a month - I'd be there, kicking back for once.  It looks like I'm moving in tomorrow when I should supposedly be able to ...

• Almost outing myself

  by Meredith Newton June 22, 2006
  Lately I've been getting a little too, well, "honest." Finally. First, in my Wednesday night class two weeks ago, I damn near talked about transgenderism from a personal point of view. We were discussing alternative American cultures and the GLBT issue came up. I described to them the proc...

• Could the nightmare be ending?

  by Meredith Newton June 5, 2006
  I'll try to be as brief as possible today.  I know what you're all thinking:  Mere?  That chatterbox?Is it possible the nightmare that has been my life for 10 months could be coming to an end?I will be talking to the apartment management company in a while about when I can move in.  I can't wait to ...

• Don't panic

  by Meredith Newton May 29, 2006
  Well, this has been an interested past week.First, I had a physical on Wednesday.  The doctor cleared me and is now passing me on to the endo.  Unfortunately, that person is at this particular clinic only twice a month and the first appointment I could get is in August.  Still, it's a start.  This d...

• My necktie is asleep

  by Meredith Newton May 22, 2006
  Just a quick one today.  That means it will be less than 10,000 words.......I just had another person back out of the Jazz Age book, and this was another one for whom I was trying to do a favor.  No more.  You're on your own now.  Besides, you've been getting on my nerves lately and I'm one step awa...

• The Meredith School of Science

  by Meredith Newton May 19, 2006
  Okay, some funny stuff tonight.....Earlier this evening I went to my daughter's school to see her science fair.  Me Mum went with me, and let me tell ya, this was not a comfortable ride going in.  I finally have everyone (including the wife) agreeing that it is time for me to live on my own.  Althou...

• What's going on

  by Meredith Newton May 17, 2006
  Things went extremely wrong over the weekend.  My weekend actually started off quite well.  I had that procedure in the hospital, and can breathe again.  I still have a cough from time to time and need to speak to the doctor about the biopsy results.  I saw my daughter for lunch on Saturday, and eve...
