So I noticed something pretty awesome in my newsfeeds today...

Definitely something I'll be exploring for myself! I expect this will supplant the older surgeries pretty quickly judging by the preliminary results.

Just thought I'd share!

So I have apparently been attacked by my unruly muse yet again. Mind you i'm not exactly complaining but when I finished the last installment of "Gaia's Children" I had to sit there and wonder just how long it would take for the final chapter of "Murder in the Holy City" to drop off the front page so i wouldn't be bumping myself.

Being a rather impatient sort, I gave all of about 30 seconds thought to that before I decided I didn't really actually care if I bumped myself off(Unless of course some moderator was willing to bend a rule just a teensy little bit).

I have to apologize for the original ending I posted To "Shooting The Rapids: An Adventure. It was rushed and the last 1k words or so had some fairly eggregious typos as well as not quite striking the tone I wanted. I've gone over it a bit though I won't make any claims to proper grammar or spelling... or even some aspects of the timelines of stellar evolution.

Well I've had an interesting although not entirely pleasant experience.

So yesterday I get the best Christmas gift ever! As I write this he's napping in the bedroom after I fed him a huge holiday dinner.

It all ties into the same thing really...

So the last week has been a little slice of hell...Mixed with a little slice of affirmation(leavened with some idiocy). Anyway, step 1 of getting hubby healthy has been accomplished. Full mouth extraction(Which his cardiologist insisted on prior to surgery to repair a congenital Atrio-Septal Defect). He tried to chicken out and I had to gently bully him into going.

The surgery itself went just fine, although he almost didn't survive check-in. Not from any medical issue aside from my intense desire to strangle him...

I always bike and I'm so involved with dodging traffic and not running into things and people that I don't think about myself or how I look or anything. Its like the world isn't relevant. So yesterday, because I had a flat, I walked and I totally had this major freakin moment of self realization/actualization/recognition.

I also realized that the tan on my legs makes me look like I'm wearing a twelve year old's stay-ups.

I ran across this article yesterday and just had to share it.

What an incredibly lucky little girl, and what a great dad!

It was Saturday night, the evening after the airshow(so I thought).

I was a tad pissed, but not too much. I had been unable to even see the airshow from my house, unlike the normal deal where the stunts were mainly focused on one of the airbases’ runways which happened to be not more than a mile or so from my house.

Anyway, when our sort-of kid called and said he was taking the boat out to the harbor to watch the next day’s airshow, I was excited. I had to argue it out with hubby, but I was determined to go, and I was determined not to go as a boy.

The music that made me angry enough to live. Nothing short of pissing me off that badly was enough to do the trick.

Crank it up!

And just because I thought I'd be kinda brutal, here's the last kick in the teeth.

I was gonna do this as a comment on another blog post, but I figured it was important enough to have it's own spot.

At the link below is a website telling the history of Bikini Atoll. It is not a happy story.

A few months ago I remember responding to someone who asked would people be willing to post a photo. Nothing Salacious, just a sort of "Hey, this is me!"

Well, at the time, I didn't have any photos of myself, but I did state my willingness to post one, so here it is. Now whoever asked has to look at my face every time I comment on something. Serves ya right!

That was when my sis visited at the end of Novemeber '09. Great visit, horrible picture. Now let the making fun commence!

I just mailed this letter to my parents. I figure it's my birthday, why not?

I don’t know how to say this, so I’ll just get right to it. Mom, Dad, I am a transsexual. I am transitioning from male to female now and should have done so 25 years ago at least. I debated bothering with telling you, I know that I am dead to you per your religion and have been for 23 years. You disapprove of me for simply being gay, so I’m pretty sure you’ll think this is worse. I actually wish I were just gay, it would have made things so much easier.

I've passed the point of no return. I told hubby tonight what I have been doing for the past 2 months, to wit, HRT

Self prescribed and incredibly irresponsible, yes. Preferable to the alternative (which I almost did) of suicide?

You bet!

Will hubby throw me away? I dunno. I hope not. I wouldn't know what to do with myself.
