My five major goals for 2009 are:
1. To tell mum about her daughter, finally.....would have happened
already but she sent my Xmas money late and I had already booked train
and plane reservations that made it impractical. This will leave me
free to come out to others.
2. Go "out" to my first TG event/night spot en femme.
Unfortunately SPARKLE will have to wait until 2009 even if I restart
full-time work soon.
3. Meet Joni Cruz in person.(possibly combined with #2)
4. Work with Katie and other(s) to set up and maintain a requested
TG/TS/SO-related suicide prevention information section for TrannyWeb,
with related links, that will be a permanent part of the website. Work
to start in late January.
5. Go back to work, since my tendon injury is sufficiently healed to let me work through a full-shift

Well, I tried to do #3 on my way home but the additional costs via Oregon were too high for my non-budget. We are going to manage this year somehow, and Jessica is going to return my visit to VA with a visit to CA.
#1 is coming up any day as I finish up an extended stay in NYC and head for IN in the next week.......to tell Mom.
#4 Has advanced one more step as Lilliene has agreed to partner on the project.
#5 Well my Achilles has made one twinge and I've gone back to intermittent jogging with no problem. New job applications go out the week I get back to CA. Hopefully this will finance my major dental work so I can do #2 in the next six month....maybe the Pride Parade in West Hollywood next June.
I sent out contacts to three TW people in NYC and Chicago to meet them on this trip but, alas, no replies. Once I got rolling, I wanted to use the momentum. VA gave me no time for any extra visits there...this time. Sorry, Glo, I shot through Baltimore and out again in 5 minutes on Amtrak. Next time.
Have had only time for keeping up with my Forum duties on this trip. Computer access time has been minimal. When I get back I have to repair my laptop and then I'll blog my vacation. I'm still high on my stay in VA and miss Jessica every day .
