I haven't done a life-update in a while...

Beth is doing okay. Her leg is feeling better and we're hoping that means the blood thinners are doing their job. She has a sinus infection which has probably turned into strep throat...not fun, but fairly typical for her this time of year. Fortunately, she just finished up her part-time teaching gig for this semester and is now using the down time to get healthy. On the work front, she has some applications out there and an interview on Wednesday. Hopefully her throat feels better by then.

As for me, there's not much to tell just now. I had a sinus infection last week and I'm still a bit congested, but at least it wasn't strep. I have other things on my mind, but those are for other blogs at other times.

...the people still reading my 360! blog, allow me to direct your attention to T-Central.

For the blogspot crowd...hmmmm, what do I have to talk about?

I'm on a diet. I lost four pounds in the first week. Very encouraging.

I've tweaked the site design here in some small ways. My favorite is the "breadcrumb" widget, visible at the top of every page now. Like what you read? Click the link at the top to find similarly themed entries!

And, I guess that's about it for now. I promise to be back soon with something more interesting.

You know how sometimes things go in streaks? Well in the last two weeks, I've had four or five people tell me how lucky I am to "have the best of both worlds." Even my therapist broke out the ol' chestnut, annotating something I said with, "great observation, and one only possible from the transsexual perspective."

My response to him was pretty much the same as to the others: "If it's so great, you can have it...I don't want it."

And I don't. It's not so much that I mind being so amazingly perceptive and empathetic, except:

1) It's not really true. It never has been and it's becoming less so as time goes on.
2) It's still used to separate me from other women.

A friend yesterday suggested hypnotism as a way to forget I was ever a boy. Talking to Christianne today, I realized I wasn't the one who needed the hypnotist, it's every single person I come into contact with.

So I guess I know what new hobby I'll be taking up, just as soon as the secret project I'm working on is complete.

Scene: My boss and I, chatting about restroom privileges and whatnot.

Me: So, there's this campaign ad in Florida...this creepy dude sneaking into a women's restroom after a little girl.

My Boss: I haven't seen it, but I read about it.

Me: I thought about sending you the link. I think it's educational, shows what we're up against. (pause) Well, what I'm up against.

My Boss: Oh, we're all up against it, whether we realize it or not.
