So I attempted to go to class today as I missed last Thursday and Last Tuesday, one to a migraine and one to this illness. Chi Gung, which is more meditative and has only a few actual moves actually wiped me out. So as I was panting on my way to Tai Chi, my teacher stopped me, asked how I was and sent me home. That was sweet of her.

I came home, slept and have rested quite a bit. It seems to have helped. My hopes is that I can be fine tomorrow and I will be over this. This sucked so much.

My grief lies all within, and these external manners of lament are merely shadow to the unseen grief that swells with silence in the tortured soul. ~ William Shakespeare

I would like to remind ALL readers here of the 2011 Transgender Day of Remembrance, November 20, 2011.

I know it's more than a month away, and I will probably submit this again next month, BUT, if you haven't visited the Day of Remembrance website, http://www.transgenderdor.org, I would encourage you to do so.

Why is this so important? Because trans people are in greater danger of being killed.

I'm at work and it's quiet. Why? Because it's wet, rainy, and miserable.
But that's not all.
There's snow mixed in with the rain.
SNOW:(
It's actually,snowing in Moncton only a half hour away from here.
Friggin Canada eh.

Greetings all,

I am wondering if I should continue with Maiden of Magic. I only had 7 comments from people other than myself on the second chapter thus far. The lack of comments is disheartening, since I enjoy reading the feedback that I get from them, which helps with writing the additional chapters.

Also, are the retcons themselves disinteresting now?

Comments?

Off I go to have things stuck in my eye. I should be back this afternoon. Hopefully I'll be able to update. If not, don't worry. Simple surgery for the cataract and I'll be okay in a few days.

Thanks for all the info and encouragement you all have shown me in my previous posts about this. I feel confident and I'm looking forward to be able to look forward, if you get my drift.

Be seeing you all.

I just wanted to thank Erin (and all her other personas) for creating the atmosphere of this site. I must say, I enjoy writing and I enjoy having an audience. But this site is so different than other story sites. It is so supportive and user friendly. I know that some of what I write doesn't appeal to all (or most) but at least those that appreciate what I am trying to accomplish let me know. I posted two stories yesterday, one seems to be a hit, and the other is moving up the hit list at a leisurely pace (like usual).

Well, last night I managed to do something so dumb it scares me - I was driving my daughter to her mom's, and instead I started heading for work. Fortunately, I caught the error in time, so no damage was done, but still, its pretty frightening.

1am (GMT) October 4th 2010. That's when I arrived here. You girls and guys and your stories (and your administrating, you know who you are) are so awesome, I decided to stay. ^_^ I have commented and blogged, but no stories of my own. Yet. I have started writing one, though I will not give a release date. After all, the future is clouded, uncertain, and possibly contains highly distracting shiny objects! = )

I got a few very complimentary comments on my latest short story, and today I happened to notice that the read count had already broken 3,000. This got me wondering...

Not literally. My entry titles are often not literal.

Remember, though, how in Cinderella, the way they determined who she was, was by finding who the missing glass slipper belonged to. They determined that by trying to find who it was the "perfect fit" for.

Well, you may recall that I'd never been able to find gloves that fit until I couldn't find mens small and tried womens, finding that, for the first time in my life, I could actually understand the phrase "fits like a glove".

Sooooo...Tomorrow, Monday, I go up to Buffalo for my pre-op stuff. Unfortunately it isn't EXACTLY the pre-op I'd LIKE to be going for...this is for my cataract surgery, which will be done on Wednesday.

I'm very upbeat about this, and have complete confidence in the surgeons, and trying very hard not to obsess over the surgery itself, nor for the recovery and return to what I laughingly call "normal" sight in my one good eye.

"Phew, what a scorcher, Jeffrey! October the 1st is early this year."

"I blame the EUSSR, Susie. They're sending us their overheated, continental air and probably scheming to plunder our newly discovered gas reserves in return. The sooner our maritime climate reasserts itself, the happier I'll be."

"Hear, hear, Jeffrey, bring on the equinoctial storms, and let's turn our faces to the open seas. We've had more than enough trouble with dog days this autumn. It's not natural; the next thing you know, neutrinos will be travelling faster than the speed of light."

Well, last night, things were zooming along great until after the last coffee break. Then the slightly shaky feeling I'd had on and off blossomed into a full blown flashback that left me in tears and gasping for air. One day I would really like to be free of these blessed things ....
