• Who needs SRS? I have the boats!

  by Meredith Newton October 14, 2006
  I turn your attention away from the drama to my repeated efforts to harm myself……..First of all, at work on the docks I was not paying attention to how I was closing this short, heavy iron gate at the dock steps and whacked myself in the ass. I now have this nice little bruise on my left…..never min...

• Don't worry

  by Meredith Newton October 9, 2006
  I said I was confused. Yes, in some ways.But in other I never felt so alive.I haven’t been chained to my word processor like I have been recently. Besides my two history books which will be released about one every two years, I am doing more.I am also a fiction writer. I have two books there. The pr...

• Lost weekend?

  by Meredith Newton October 7, 2006
  I leave in a few minutes. Got visitation this morning, then I hit the docks later in the day.I have been doing a lot of writing lately. I have a complete book of fiction short stories and they needed to be re-entered. That’s been helping me keep my inspiration going.I still need to do the blood test...

• One year later.......continued

  by Meredith Newton September 19, 2006
  All I think about a lot these days is what it was like one year ago as compared to now. I was especially reminded of it as I had a therapist appointment, and her office is right by where I used to live with my friend. While I do talk to this friend on occasion, it is not very often these days. A few...

• I want HRT!!!!

  by Meredith Newton September 7, 2006
  I need to get in to the lab and get my blood work done so the endo can prescribe the right hormones. I really appreciate listening to you girls who are so knowledgeable about all this.  A special thanks to Bridgette, Ann and Lucy.Yes, I do walk around the apartment building as Mere. Maybe it isn’t a...

• Me, one year later

  by Meredith Newton August 30, 2006
  Here I am, one year later.At this time last year I was just thrown out of the house. I thought it was all over. It isn’t.I am so stiff this morning. On the one year anniversary of being thrown out I rented a van and got most of my stuff out of the house. The house I helped buy and pay for. I moved a...

• Waiting for next week

  by Meredith Newton August 24, 2006
  Next week is a rather dubious anniversary, so be prepared for me to be a basket case. Or, worse then ever as a basket case.The tour gig is still good. I had my daughter down there a few days, and one of the captains let her drive the boat on two occasions.I started teaching a brand new course at tha...

• Blossoming

  by Meredith Newton August 17, 2006
  I should be sitting here depressed that I am not working at that full-time job. I’m not. Quite frankly, right now I don’t care. I find it funny that whenever a school, or a publisher, has a problem I’m the first one they call because they know I get the job done whereas their top person dropped the ...

• I spoke too soon - but I did see the Endo

  by Meredith Newton August 9, 2006
  The following is from an e-mail I just sent to a few of the girls here on TW:Well, girls, the worst has happened.The school pulled the spot.  As I mentioned before, getting the job was dependent upon the arrival of my official transcripts.  Mind you, when I was first hired by them back in the winter...

• The nightmare is over

  by Meredith Newton August 1, 2006
  Remember the song from the old telly show "Great American Hero?": Look what's happened to me/I can't believe it myself/Suddenly I'm upon top of the world/Should have been somebody elseAfter years of struggle, disappointment and heartbreak, I have finally achieved one of my life's goals - T...
