I recently received my new Veteran's I.D. card, with my real pic on it. That makes two picture ID's. Driver's License and Vet's ID... both with me as Cathy. When I get back from The SCC conference, I will submit the paperwork to legally change my name.

Baby steps, my friends, but important ones.

Hugs 'n love,

250,028 hits on my stories at Crystal's!!! I feel so humble and yet proud at the same time.

Got on the bus at 6AM, slept most of the way. Spent a thoroughly awful time getting my breathing tested, blood draw, endo consult, blah, blah, blah. Rained most all day.

Why Kindergarten? Well, that requires a bit of explanation, I guess.

I finally had the chance to view Mamma Mia, The Movie. All I can say is... I had a BALL!!! What a fun, touching, musical! Loving Abba's music helps a lot, but everyone did a great job of either singing or lip synching and the whole thing was a wonderful movie experience. I particularly liked the sing a long feature on the DVD. *giggle*

Voulez-Vous!!

Tonight, driving home from an all day D&D session with my friends, I almost hit a power wheelchair that I didn't see until almost too late. The chair had NO lights on it, NO reflectors, the person piloting it and the one walking with him were both wearing dark clothing. The chair was in my lane, traveling toward me and it was dark.

I tend to agree with those who say this scum should rot in jail for the rest of his misbegotten life...NO parole!!!

Angie Zapata was an 18 year old MtF pre-op TS who was killed by her 'boyfriend', beaten to death by him, supposedly when he 'discovered that she was a he. The'boyfriend' claimed that when he 'suddenly' found out that Angie wasn't what she seemed, he panicked, and beat her to death, probably to soothe his offended 'macho pride.'

I am not the author of this post. It's copied from a Veteran's TG forum.

I am exhibiting almost all the signs of clinical depression. I've been highly emotional lately, and constantly sleepy. I've gained weight and can't seem to concentrate for very long. I can't seem to care very much about anything either.

She wants to put me on some type of anti-depressant meds, but I have a real problem with that kind of thing. I'm going to try to fight my way through this without meds, so if I get short with anyone, or vanish for awhile, please don't be concerned.

I have just received the legal paperwork, which I must fill out and file, that will begin the process of legally changing my name!!

Paul Harvey has died at the age of 90. Whatever I might say about him would be understatement. He was a legend, and his unique views and broadcasts will be missed by millions.

Well, I don't know if it's because winter is ending...finally, or that my relationship is entering an exciting new phase, or what, but I'm feeling better, and my muse is talking.

Yesterday I finally obtained a prescription for the anti-smoking drug, Chantix. This morning I took my first pill. I have set a date to finally be off cigarettes. March First is the date.

Because of the recent happenings,and because I don't feel right about it, I will no longer post ANY work,here or anywhere else, unless it's completed.
