I am so exhausted today. So much crap happened this weekend, and I haven't even written about last week yet. Ug...guess I better get started. So last weekend...way back when, I spent a lot of time finishing a project on Saturday. Sunday was a meeting and afterwards a TG friend of mine from the local area asked to get together. Her wife left due to issues with the relationship and the transgender issues. So, she needed to talk. I did my best to listen. I've never been married, or I guess even in a long term relationship, but I can offer advice and support as best I can. And I did. I just hope it helped.

That same night, I got a random e-mail from a local person. This person is my age and is also transgendered. I had heard about her through the electrolysis clinic in town, but never met her. So I e-mailed back and we started chatting. On that monday, we got together and talked. Turns out I knew her from before, just never knew she was trans. It was really great to finally meet a local girl like me. I think we'll become good friends. There's this bit of discomfort right now that I sense, but that's expected I think. In a sense, it's like we don't know how to act around each other. I don't really know what to make of it, but I'm sure it'll be fine.

The rest of the week was filled with school work and my job. The only exception was that I had a job interview on Thursday. It went really well...like, really well. The interview was at 8:00 am. By 11:15 they had offered me the job. That was awesome. Friday I went in to fill out paperwork and had a great talk with my new boss. She knew I was trans, and she was totally ok with that. She had a professor years ago that was TS and she knew all about it from that. She said if I ever needed help, her and the other supervisors would be there for me. It's great to know that sort of thing.

The weekend brought on some interesting things. Friday night I had to rush and get a project done for work again, as well as prepare for Saturday. It was a rush all night. Saturday was my uncle's wedding. I had to drive out to a different city to go to it. It literally took the entire day. It was fun, and depressing too. I won't get into that, I'll probably just cry again. Yeah, I drove home from that really really late and almost fell asleep at the wheel. Sunday was a looooong day with my job. Four hours worth of being at a meeting. It was a fun meeting, but still....long time.

Monday, being today, I had to get up early...like 5:30 am. My first day of work started at 7:00. Sunday night I couldn't get to sleep. I didn't fall asleep until 3:00 am or so. So after you do the math, I got about 2 and a half hours of sleep last night. I am very tired. I worked three hours, then had my first exam of the school year. Surprisingly, despite my lack of sleep, I think I did well. I had to do homework inbetween classes since I had no time over the weekend to do it. Then, I had another test. That was fun. After that class was a meeting with a financial aid person to figure out how I can afford to live this next year. Then, Japanese...I thought we had a test, but turns out it's tomorrow. Thank god. After band, I finally got to go home. So here I am. Completely exhausted....why am I writing this...I should be sleeping. You know, I think I will go sleep now....Good Night.

Luv,

Jessica
