I apologise for my earlier blunder.

You can see the whole story in my response to Angharad's Blog post.

I began HRT while still receiving Social Services assistance. I was initially diagnosed by my therapist and then had it confirmed by a shrink who, while not necessarily agreeing that I was a good candidate for SRS, still started me on hormones and T-blockers.

Who in their right mind would have thought that I'd still be scribbling away at Cathy's trials and tribulations, two years after writing what was going to be a blog about getting soaked to the skin while out riding on Dolly (the picture of the bike at the end of most episodes) in a thunderstorm. Instead, I turned it into what was primarily a comedy romance, which evolved into an adventure story and finally into a soap - exploring some of the issues of being transgendered/ transsexual, and trying to live a normal life as a female.

Does anyone know a bit of Scots Gaelic?

I'm having trouble with a name: Ash Geo Mor, the name of a shallow cove, or possibly a sea stack, or skerry, near the village of Lybster in Caithness.

First of all I would like to thank those of you who have taken the time to comment. I really do appreciate the effort you take to pull me out of my depression. I am in a bit of a quandry. There are five more postings to be made and my wonderful spouse and I are leaving this continent in five days. My original goal was to post "Five Love Stories en Brochette" before we left; however, time may make it difficult to do so. I might check out how to do the delayed posting. There is another option. I could stop posting and pick up after we return in the first week of August.

Sorry to have been missing, but our Internet was shut off on Sunday, and things have been too busy to get it turned back on (plus money concerns). Will post when I have the chance, but I wanted you to know that I'm not dead, just MIA for a while.

It will take me time to get back to you if you PM or email me, but I will answer. That's what I'm going to do most of today.

I didn't want to clutter up the front page with a mediocre story so I replaced part 1 with the whole story.

That's the last part of "A Winter's Tale" loaded.

Since I've gotten some great feedback on the last post, I'm making you read another:P

It was a while back that I posted few chapters to a story. I stopped writing it because I was getting bogged down and when I reread the 3rd chapter, I felt like my grocery list was more exciting.

The next chapter of "The Assignment" is coming within the next day or so. The last few days have been filled with family stuff and doctor visits. I just started seeing a new Endocrinologist on Friday. She ordered bloodwork on me this morning and then I have another appt. in August with another new doctor. I finally have all female doctors at last! I will be able to ditch that insensitive S.O.B male GP I have had for years. Anyway, watch for my feelings on the subject in the next chapter. Alyce is no longer going to be quiet about things that have happened to her.
