quick updates

Still sick.  Though the symptoms are shifting around in new and creative ways.  Last night I was up every hour on the hour, with a coughing fit that lasted for a while.  Then I’d sit back up in bed, try to get some air, and eventually go to sleep.  I didn’t find anything that helped with the problem.  Quite annoying.

I forgot to mention some cool things the other day.  It was a good queer day.  First, I noticed the questionaire at the clinic on campus had some interesting changes.  First, you could choose male, female, or transgender with a blank to fill in.  I wasn’t sure how to answer that, so I circled female and transgender.  :-)  There are questions about what sexual partners you have, and if you use condoms, which includes a not applicable option.  It was pretty cool.  For once I didn’t feel like I had to explain things, or find a way to answer questions that didn’t apply to me.  I didn’t know how nice that could feel.

On the way home, I stopped in at subway and met a really cool older butch.  We chatted about random things.  I actually got scared for a second when she said her girl has 5 kids and likes to go out.  I thought I might have known her, but then I realized I didn’t.  Otherwise that would have been awkward.  I’m going to keep going there and see if she’ll want to come by for the L word in the spring, or just have random dinners.  It’s good to have other friends, and she’s a lot like us; content to go to work and come home and be fine with that.  On a side note, it was interesting to have a very normal conversation with a stranger without any wierd stuff.  :-)

Tonight we’re going to watch some geek space stuff I got from blockbuster.  I got the red planet collection, which may or may not be cool, and for all mankind, a collection of the apollo moon videos.  Maybe that will allow me to keep my brain working a little, while still resting.  Then we can bring them back and get something else, like the rest of peewee’s playhouse.  hehehe  I love that show.
