I am continually surprised by the number of readers who seem to thirst for the next chapter of Somewhere Else Entirely. That being the case, I thought I'd jot down a few notes about the story - without giving anything away, I hope - so that readers know what to expect.

She posted this on FB a few hours ago

In the hospital again, after a minor fall. To my BCTS friends, please let everyone know. I don't know when I'll be back, as they plan to send me to a long term care facility, and I don't know if they will have wireless, or how long I'll be there.

I hope everyone will join me in wishing her well.

The God Bless the Child trilogy has really been the most complete work that I've ever done. It is the only work that I put serious thought into while crafting it, and the only work I actually sat down and edited (sorry to admit this but the rest i just type as i go and then post, I don't even do a second read) With the trilogy I actually kept close tabs on character's personalities so that they responded consistently (on two occasions I had to re-write scenes to put the right character in there because of the response I needed).

And I lost another inch from my waist and an inch from my height.

I've always been 5'5.5" ever since... mid-high school? Fairly recently, I've been feeling like I'm slightly shorter, and when I googled "m2f hrt shrinking", there were results, so apparently, some people do experience a slight loss of height on hrt. So I decided last night to check, and I was 5'4.5". Decided to measure again this morning to be certain, and it came up the same, maybe a sixteenth of an inch higher.

Zoe and I went through both Chapters 1 and 2 to make them present tense, since we both liked the read on Chapter 3 in present tense, those who read the stories before, the only things changed is the tense from past to present.

Hope you guys enjoy my story as it unfolds:)

Hey guys and Gals, Just trying to put my feelers out of a new Editor, my old one lost the time to do it.
I've had Chapters 3 and 4 of my story ready for editing for awhile now, and I'm not blaming Piper one bit for not being able to do it.

So if anyone can help me out that would be fantastic :)

Kurt Weill actually wrote the music years before for another musical.

I don't know where this came from but the lyrics with some slight modifications are in italics

But my bustline just had some redistribution occur.

My bust measurements had been 34, 38, 35. They are now 33, 38, 36.

In plainer terms, below the bust used to have a 34 inch circumference, at the bust, 38 inch, and above the bust 35 inch. Now, below the bust is a 33 inch circumference, at the bust is still 38 inches, and above the bust is now 36 inches.

Even plainer terms, I lost an inch from my chest (not bust!) and added it to my cleavage (not bust!).

My bra size is still 38B, but it APPEARS more prominent.

Something I found interesting while randomly surfing wikipedia:

Had an interesting day at work today.

A couple weeks back our housecleaning crew (nicknamed The Wrecking Crew, which I'll get to later) was emptying out an apartment that had been just recently vacated when they turned on the stove to clean without first checking if anything was in it. So of course, there were a bunch of plastic handled pot lids inside, which melted and started a little fire. That wasn't really all that interesting a day for me, I was clear out back end of property and just saw the commotion over it from a distance, heard the story later.

Today reminded me of just how much a contact junkie I am. At various times today I curled up beside my mother while she slept on the couch, had my daughter use me a jungle gym, and even managed to get a hug from my ex. I'd been jonesen for this level of contact for a while, so it feels good, but eventually the high will wear off, and I'll go back to craving it again. Ah, well.

Hello, all, here I am, back home 5 days after my surgery, minus my gall bladder and about 1/5th of my pancreas.

I tried to get on at the hospital to let everyone know things were going well, but the 'nanny' filter on their network decided this is not an acceptable site for an adult to visit..

My doctor seemed to be thinking I was doing well. He told me that his personal average for this is 8.8 days, so I am well ahead of that average.

Hi there

I am trying to juggle elderly parents, grandchildren and everything in between. Due to my parents, I've had to shelve any work for the time being, so that sucks, however, that's not why I'm writing this. I am trying to finish various works that I started ages ago, and making some progress... but I'm conscious that I tend to write for my own edification, so...

What I want to know as follows: - ....

....do you like slow and gradual transitions or rapid ones?

....is it the build up before, during or after that is the most interesting, or a bit of each?

After much frustration I am finally scheduled for surgery. I go to the Buffalo Veteran's Hospital on the third of October for pre-op stuff, then back up on the fifth for surgery and back the following day for post op stuff. Then about a week to two weeks for recovery and, hopefully, I will be back to what I laughingly refer to as normal, vision-wise.
