• A nice break from the action

  by Meredith Newton May 19, 2009
  Here is an extremely short version of last week:Josie was here last week for five days.  Her plane got in a little early but we were looking for each other in two different places at the airport.  She came to work with me the next day - both the museum and my class - where I proudly showed her off. ...

• A short update

  by Meredith Newton April 15, 2009
  A few weeks back I went with my kid to her therapist.  My kid had questions for me, all of which I answered honestly.  Things are much better between us, and we still see each other all the time.  On occasion we do make a small joke about my being TG.  She is still not ready to start spending the ni...

• Putting life back on track

  by Meredith Newton March 5, 2009
  As I wrote in the blogs, my kid pretty much figured it out about me.  And, as you know, she didn't take well to it and I didn't see her for a while.  She has been going back to her therapist, the same person who helped her through the separation and impending divorce.  I am supposed to go there with...

  Yep, it's been a while since I last posted.Sure, I could regale you with more musuem stories.  I might save those for a book!I am FINALLY going to be seeing Josie in a few weeks.  It has been far too long.  We had one or two communication problems lately, but we resolved them.  We can handle the lon...

  Here's a little update on my HRT:As I mentioned before, the doctor put me on some new meds for my high cholesterol.  We did another blood test last week.  While my bad cholesterol was down, my liver count rose a little.  Not a lot, but enough for him to notice.  There is no danger at all, though, so...

• Rough week

  by Meredith Newton November 20, 2008
  Finances went from bad to worse.  It's going to be tough for the next few weeks.  For the first time in a long time my account is in negative numbers!  But, I have food in the house, and enough gas in the car to get to work.  I get paid tomorrow, and already a big chunk of that is gone.  But, I can ...

• Holiday hours

  by Meredith Newton November 12, 2008
  Yuck.  Starting this weekend the museum is going on the holiday hours. Yuck.  But at least for now it's just the weekends.  The extra pay is nice, but, yuck.  By the way, did I say yuck?  We won't go on full weeks of extended hours for a few weeks yet.I have put in for a couple of higher positions a...

• Finally some rest

  by Meredith Newton November 4, 2008
  After a month of furious work on my one book, I now have everything submitted to the publisher, and can now take about a week or two off from writing.  I do have other projects I want to work on, but none with any pressing deadlines.  Finally, some rest!  Yes, I am still teaching two classes, and wo...

• The Tranny Tribune

  by Meredith Newton October 29, 2008
  Girls, as the new editor of the Tranny Tribune, I want you all to think about contributing.  You do not have to be a regular, if you do not, but think about it.  Let's say you're attending a special TG event.  Take some piccies, talk to a few people, and write up a piece about it.  Know somebody pro...
