• Mad at the world

  by Meredith Newton March 30, 2006
  I don't know why I'm posting this other to say I wish I could sever ties with practically everyone I know.  Not my TW sisters, of course! I'm just in one of the worst moods I've been in for a long time.  I was someplace today where I felt comfortable being TS, although I was in drab, yet ...

• We're all in this together.....

  by Meredith Newton March 27, 2006
  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...

• Time to move again

  by Meredith Newton March 22, 2006
  Things have taken another turn for the worse at my folks house.  Not about my being transsexual, though.  My dad is back to his 24/7 crankiness.  It's become so bad that my daughter doesn't want to come over to visit me there.  I think he's in the beginning stages of dementia, bu...

• Number Five

  by Meredith Newton March 20, 2006
  I didn't notice until this morning that I am now #5 on the blog list.  Wow.  I can't possibly be that interesting! I finally got a paycheck on Friday!  I feel like a millionaire. I did get to see my daughter on Saturday.  We went to see The Shaggy Dog (it was okay).  I too...

• No cute titles today

  by Meredith Newton March 15, 2006
  I couldn't think of a blog title.  Oh well.  Today I'm getting away from talking about this path of self-destruction I'm on and go into funny things that have been happening.  Here's a small sampling of my life as of late: Almost assaulted on the Red Line.  You know that alrea...

• A simple twist of fate

  by Meredith Newton March 13, 2006
  As I wrote in the Forums, I am now fully out to my family.  I had a few drinks yesterday to help myself feel better.  Stupid reason.  My folks were not happy.  I wasn't stewed, but it was obvious. Then, at dinner, through a torrent of tears, I told my dad that I am transsexual, ...

• Tired on a Monday morning

  by Meredith Newton March 6, 2006
  I had a bit of an emotional roller coaster of a weekend. My therapist appointment went great, as usual.  I am going to stop using the men's room to change as I was almost caught on Friday.  My shrink is letting me use one of the other offices to change in from now on. Then I went all the...

• Six months now

  by Meredith Newton March 1, 2006
  Tonight I'm going to see the movie "Transamerica" with me mum.  I'll post a full review tomorrow.  But the big question is how shall I dress?  I can't very well have my dad see me.  I'll probably just put some makeup on in the car. Despite the little hints my wife threw out to m...

• The beat of a different drum

  by Meredith Newton February 27, 2006
  That cold I had really wasn't all that bad.  Not all that good, either.  I'm just glad it's on its way out. My daughter is incredible.  First, she is in second grade and now reads at a sixth grade level!  She also had to have some teeth pulled Friday evening.  I was told th...

• Keep it down now, voices carry

  by Meredith Newton February 21, 2006
  I didn't get to see my daughter last Saturday.  She wasn't feeling good.  So, in literally sub-zero temperatures I walked the 1 1/2 miles to the library to get online.  I was glad to do it.  As I wrote in the Forums, I truly thought for a few moments yesterday that my life was ...
