Walking Funnies!

The Importance of walking

Walking can add minutes to your life.
This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing
home at  £4,000 per month.

My grandpa started walking five miles a day when he was 60.
Now he's 97 years old and we have no idea where the hell he is.

I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

The only reason I would take up walking is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

I have to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I'm doing...

hormones make Dorothy go coo-coo

I'm having trouble controlling my emotions at the moment. one minute I'm depressed, the next I'm angry, the next giggly - just like a teen girl. For someone like me who normally doesnt have a lot of filter between "feeling" and "doing", its at least a good exercise in using the one thing I have that a teen girl doesnt - a lifetime of experience to damper the extremes. Keep cheering me on, okay?

It's not as serious as the cancer which seems to be as good as before.

But in the cancer surgery, they had to do a bit of rebuilding on my liver, and apparently it did not heal well.

I've developed an abscess and had to be d\admitted to the hospital to have a drain put in and to get several antibiotics that can only be give intravenously.

I cannot access BCTS on the hospital computers, but I do have email access.

Kids know

Just got back from picking up my daughter, and something interesting happened. There is a boy who for the last while has called me "smiley" whenever he's seen me at the school, and somehow, he's now got other kids doing it too. (I blush like crazy when he does it, I have no idea why). Then the ball dropped. As I was leaving with Sam, I heard him ask, "Is that a woman's coat?" So I guess I'm not as stealth as I thought, and if a kid notices, I'm sure Sam's teacher has noticed too. Oh well, as long as nobody makes a fuss about it....

Why am I smiling like a little girl? ^_^ There's nothing new about that, but I thought I'd share the reason.

I realised this morning... On one of my routes to work, I pass a house with a title. The title has "dyke" in it. ^_^
Despite my hardline MegaTomboyness, I am a Lipstick Lesbian at heart. The mere THOUGHT of being embraced by a "dyke" makes me feel all squishy inside. ^_^

Don't worry gentlemen, I am not 100% lesbian. It's just that "Lipstick Almost-Lesbian" can be a bit odd sounding at times.

I can see the cheerleader there inside.
She cheers me on.

There when I get home, smiling and loving me through the screen.
I can feel that y’know.
It just one of those things that just is.
She sends me out with love and luck and dreamy kisses every night.
We dance too.
We have songs.
And a play list.

She loves her family.
Even when she hates her family.

Insights from a trans meeting

Yesterday we had a pot-luck at the trans group I belong to, and what happened there opened my eyes a bit. See, there was a new person there, who had just started to come out, and was getting harassed for it at work. But it was her attitude that made an impact. She seemed to be resigned to abuse, and in fact acted like she deserved it. She called herself a "freak", and all I wanted to do was give her a big hug and tell her, "You are not a freak. You are precious, and beautiful."

That's when it really hit me.

How many times have I called myself names?

For those who have read my latest story, and wanted a little background, here you go:

General concept: A long time ago, powerful beings were on Earth, and they were worshiped as gods. When Christianity became the dominant religion, most left Earth, but some stayed. About two years ago, a man called Commander Ares made his debut, and since then about two dozen more people with extraordinary gifts have made an appearance. It seems that most of these are the agents of one god or another, and that there isnt going to end up being more than a handful of these super-beings.

Getting stronger

I think I'm getting stronger, and I dont mean physical strength. One way I'm getting stronger is the ability to stop beating myself up over mistakes. For example, yesterday I started to regret getting my hair done. I realized it was not the best use of the money I had gotten for my bottles, that I had other things I should have done first. But rather than spend hours calling myself names, which would have been my response before, I simply filed the whole thing in a mental box called "stuff to learn from", and let it go.

That I'm taking a bit of a break from writing or I have been and will continue to until the feeling comes back to write. Between RF family obligations and a full time job I just need a break from something so I can do a lot of other things I've been meaning to do.

With no shortage of great writers here I know you'll be fine.

The wifi antenna on my computer is going bad. I got spotty internet on the computer at best, this is from my phone.

I'll be getting a new antenna soon, just need the money. In the mean time I'm trying to get ahead on Through the years.

Cliffhangers

As I mentioned in some story comments...

I'm beginning to suspect that EOF, Ang, Maggie, and a few other authors all got together and decided to hold a cliffhanger contest.

Now that we're all hanging off of half a dozen cliffs, has a winner been declared?

Working hard

I have not been around much as of late. Some few of you may have noticed and/or missed me, but I rather suspect that with the plethora of new talent and engaging stories, there're also a lot of new readers -- and the vast majority probably haven't a clue even who I am.

Hi from France to all !

Is there someone here who has some news from Jeremy Chandler, the author of the story "my summer in pantyhose" ? No news since december 2010 in my inbox and i begin to believe that something very bad had happened to him.

Thanks !

This is an interesting take on the meaning and origin of expressed gender. It looks like a good discussion starter, anyhow.

Once again, my leg has derailed any plans I may have had, but they let me out and I'll have the next Wild Magic up in a little while.
