Beaming moment
My day started changing over my last bank account today . After that I went to the Burlington Coat factory and picked out two new sweaters and a winter vest . Then it was off to Center City Philly . I got there pretty quick . I got my parking spot at my union hall and then went and had a bite to eat . I walked down a place called Johns Pizza in the 1500 block of Spring Garden st . This was a hard decision since I'm trying to drop 40 pounds . I had a slice of Pepperoni pizza and a coke .
I guess what made the day so special is not one person took me for anything else then the woman I am . You know how it is when you get up and you get ready and try your best to look good and some yo-yo will always stair . The last week or two I notice it less&less .
The ladies behind the counter were as polite as could be . Before I left I asked where the restroom was , I was directed up the stairs turn right and first door on the right . Yes it was the ladies room . The next was the mens . As I touched up my lipstick I was glowing on the inside and I would like to believe it showed on the outside . I had a smile the whole way back to the union hall .
After I got back to the hall I ran into a very old friend . I hadn't seen Tom in 10 years , I said hello and smiled . He just apologized , he said I didn't look familiar did we work together . I laughed and reminded him about the Israelis who almost shot me with machine guns when I violated there sovereign soil . He remembers the machine gun indecent but was having a hard time remembering me . I left out the fact I used to be a man . We talked about our kids becoming journey men wiremen and other good times .
As I sat in class I noticed that there were some different kids there tonight . I had a young man lean back and ask me if was Cathy C I just laughed and said no . These kids were all much younger and never knew Ken or heard of his exploits . To them I was a real girl . I guess the cherry on top was the one kid who kept checking me out and smiling that smile when they want you .
As I walked out of class I left with my head held high and feeling wonderful . I will be at next weeks union meeting . This goes just as good I hope .

 Looking for that special person
TS/TV/CD seeking Friends
Well to be honest I don't know what I really want .I just want to be accepted as me . What is that you ask . I'm a pre-op Transexual who only has 16 months to go till the finale surgery . Yes I'm counting the days the hours the minutes . I want a special person who would like to take walks on the beach , or in the woods holding hands and whispering in each others ears . Watching the sun set or rise over the lake down the street . Feel the wind together as it caresses our bodies and fills our ears with music . Cuddle on the couch together as we watch a movie or roast marsh-mellows over the fireplace . Willing to skip Monday night Football to go rock-climbing instead . Put a picnic basket in the car and find that special place to be alone and just hold and feed each other after we get there . Willing to put me first as I will always put them first .

Food Poisoning & Loneliness
Sunday, March 7, 2010
Food Poisoning&Loneliness
Saturday I had breakfast at a place called the Cracker Barrel . I had a simple egg , onion , green pepper , and cheese omelet . With in a two hours I would be at home violently sick . As the day wore on it was a bad feeling . It sounded good when I read it on the menu , it smelled good and tasted good going down . Its funny as you lay there alone feeling like your dieing , you wonder if you will have anyone as you get older and what will it be ? I have meet very few men I have time or patience for . I have met a few women who fit in this category also . I spent 30 wonderful years with one woman . Will I be able to find that again . Or like so many girls I know in the trans community am I destined to spend the rest of my life alone ? I miss working for the Red Cross National Disaster Team and as a EMT . There was nothing like when that phone rang and you grabbed your sleepingbag and backpack and caught the next flight out out to anywhere at a moments notice . There is nothing in the world that can compare to helping people that have been in a disaster . Its funny as I think about the last call . Steve handed me a case of water to take with me as I was getting ready to catch a plane . I gave the water away and grabbed 30 cans of Mountain Dew and a few bags of beef jerky to go with me . There would be no water or electric where I was going . I always take lots of candy on these outings . The kids have it the worst . Its Sunday morning and were still recovering but were up and moving . Tomorrow is a big day my Shrink has my letter waiting for me . I just have to settle on a doctor and a time line . If I go with Dr. Suporn or Dr. Sugan they have very long waiting list . If I go with Dr. Leis or Dr. Reed they get you right in , but will they do the same job that Suporn and Sugan do ? I hear Suporn has a new technique that when he's done a few months later you self lubricate . That is a big ticket item in my book . Sugan and Suporn from pictures I've seen build a playboy centerfold vagina . I don't see a lot U.S. Dr's doing that . This next month will be interesting . Broken Neck & Harrisburg

Entry for March 03, 2010
Broken Neck&Harrisburg Tuesday night I get a call after 9:00 pm , its a cryptic call from my brother ." Mom broke her neck , dad and I are going down to Jeff tomorrow to see her you don't have to go " . What are you talking about I ask ? Mom fell yesterday and broke her neck and they air lifted her to Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia . That's all we know . I asked did this happen today ? No he says , it was yesterday . He tells me I know your busy so we didn't want to bother you . I explain I can cancel my trip to Harrisburg tomorrow and go to Jefferson Hospital with them . My brother says that I don't need to be there there is nothing I can do . Like what the #$%& are you doing for her runs through my head , but I don't say it out loud . I explain I would like to be there also . He explains I'm not welcome there . I decide to go to my dad and talk to him . We talked for over two hours . If I was willing to be Ken I could come to the hospital . Bull#$%& it what I wanted to say , but I told my father to just call me . I gave him my business card and he asked who Karen was . Dad you know that is me . So I write the number on a pcs of paper with the name Ken on it . He says he'll call when he hears something . As I leave my parents house I start to cry , I call a friend and ask her to check the status of my mom . She says she'll try but is not sure she can get an answer tonight . I call another friend , She calls me back in 4 minutes flat . She gives me the whole picture as to the condition of my mother . Its not good . I call an Business agent and leave a message I can't make tomorrows trip to Harrisburg . I call my brother again . He asked if I was completely off my #$%@ rocker ? I asked him what was wrong now , he lets me know I upset my father . I tell him I won't go with them tomorrow , I'll go to Harrisburg instead . Its after 12:00 at night when I get home . I set my alarm clock for 4:00 am . At 4:00 am I'm up and in the shower . Buy 4:15 I'm putting hot rollers in my hair . Buy 4:30 make-up is going on . 5:15 am I'm on the road to meet up with a few hundred Local 98 men and two other women . At 6:00 am were getting on buses at Local 19 Sheet-metal workers Hall in Philly . 6:45 we depart for Harrisburg . The bus ride out was very quite for me , no one talks to me . We arrive in Harrisburg a few hours later . We go into the building and hold a small rally for Steve Wynn on building a casino in Philly . As soon as the rally is over we walk back out to the buses get on and head home . A few minutes into the ride a young lady jumps into the seat next to me and introduces herself to me . We talked the whole way back . It was great . Back at Local 19's union hall I got in my truck to go see my mom . As I walked into the ICU unit my father and brother were there . They just gave me the evil eye . I stayed outside the room . When they took my mom out to get test done I went with her . We talked about my grand kids and sons . We got to spend about an hour together before she had to go back to her room . Why she was in getting the one test done I got a nurse to show me her chart and give me the good and bad . It wasn't good . They are going to put rods , screws and plates in her . They had her on a morphine drip to ease the pain in her head . It was hard to hold back the tears as she layed there paralyzed . We chatted a little more and they took her back to her room . My next stop was my own Dr. . I haven't been feeling well for over a month . He talked to me for a while and took blood and sent me on my way . I called a what I thought was friend but he has been dodging me for over a month or two and won't return phone phone calls . As a last ditch effort to talk to him I sent him a text telling him about my mom . No response . I drove to the bar around the corner from my house ordered some food and a Sapphire & Cranberry . It was smooth going down . I got a second one , I took a sip gave it back to the girl behind the bar and asked for just a cranberry juice . I finished dinner and my juice and went home . Union Meeting

Union Meeting
February 23 would be a bad day . I arrive at the union meeting and the hall looked empty . As I walk through the glass doors I am greeted by an old friend Todd . He shakes my hand and treats me like real person still to my face . I know the real Todd who does not like anyone who is not a wasp , but at least he was cordial . We chatted for a while . Then guys started to walk in to the hall , it was starting to fill up fast . 90 % of these guys knew me , only 1 so far was brave enough to shake my hand or say hello . As we went down stairs to start the meeting most guys who knew me kept there distance . I said hello to few people but no replies . I sat down for the start of the meeting . One young man was brave enough to sit next to me at the meeting and say hello and talk to me . We talked about the old days when we were both on a job together . I asked him , Do I look that bad ? his answer was no just different from the person he used to know who was involved with his union . I was sitting in the back of the hall to make guys have to turn if they wanted to stare at me . Johnny Doc gave an interesting speech . 700 men out of work that is a bad picture . He also said how he would be cutting back more staff and getting rid of a few more agents . I don't care what anyone thinks cutting back is a mistake . You need that full support of personnel to keep things going at 100 % . I think when you cut back mistakes start getting made or people get lazy because they get over whelmed . Any one who has read the Dodge reports and listens to the state of the state addresses for most of the states knows what is going on and what is needed to fix things . Carpenters have 70 % unemployment at there hall I heard at my last Labor meeting in the county . That combined with what John has just told me is just a bad work picture . No matter how good I feel I look , it still wears you down all the guys staring at you . After the meeting I went looking for a friend . Most guys keep as far away a possible . It may rub off on them and they may become Transsexual too . LOL really not funny . I walked up to an old friend who I did a lot for at one time at night for the local . As I said hello he went from a smile to that look you get when your going to throw up . I put my hand out to shake hands , he hesitated big time . He did finally shake my hand . A few other people I said hello to after the meeting would not say anything back . I guess you could say the high light of the whole night was one young man hit on me . As I drove home I called a Business Agent friend of mine he told me he could not talk he would call me back . I knew this was a lie . He never returns calls to me anymore . Jim of all people knows how much I hate it when people lie to make people feel good . I've always been a believer of brutal honest truth even if it hurts . You can't fix what you don't know . The ride home was very lonely . Saturday was Districts My son Jimmy was eliminated in the second or third round , but you got to see some of the best wrestling around . Lets hope next week is better . Sectionals

Sectionals
My Saturday was entertaining to say the least . I was up early and out the door to get my grand kids for the day . Little did I know it would be all day . I picked up my grandkids at 9:00 am then off to see my little Jimmy wrestle . It was district 1 wrestle offs . By 1 :00 pm my grandkids were just a little antsy . Jimmy was doing great he was advancing each time he came up . I let a friend take my grandsons to the bath room . I didn't put a lot of thought in to this day . As I have a french manicure on my fingers and my hair up in a crunchy , earrings in and a little eye shadow on with Be Delicious perfume . Clothing wise I went with a male wardrobe for my sons event . Most of the parents at my son school have not been informed about me . Do they suspect , I'm sure . As I took my grandsons to get food at the concession stand I was addressed as mame by the young men behind the counter . Not a problem . The problem came later as my grandson had to go again to the restroom . As I walked him down the bleachers to the men's locker room a policemen stopped me as I was going into the locker room with my grandson . Mame you can't go in there . So I tell my grandson to just go ahead and I'll wait . This was a no win argument . All my ID's say Karen . So the problem was most of my sons team parents know me as Ken still . So I can't use the ladies room and cause a problem with them . I can't use the mens room and have a problem with the cop . So I go all day with out use the facilities . That coupled with grandkids that have been cooped up all day inside at a wrestling tournament Was just to much . In the end Jimmy took 4th place in his weight class to advance to Districts . I was beaming with pride as I took his picture on the podium with the other kids . It was after 9:00 pm You have no clue how bad I needed a restroom . lol . I got home around 10:00 pm . I have never loved a bathroom so much as when I got home . After I got myself back together I ran my grandkids back to my sons house . Its 11:00 pm now . Bed time . I don't remember kids being this much of a handful when I was younger . I never made it out to the Nevermore last night . Wrestling was suppose to be done by 8:00 pm . A lot of matches went into double and triple overtime . I guess the best part was even dressed as what I thought was a man , people still looked at me as a woman . Beaming moment

Hey, girlyfriend!
Haven't seen any blog entries for quite awhile; that's got me concerned. I hope family issues at this time of year haven't left you feeling lost and lonely. There are still people who love you and will always meet you with open arms.  Here's hoping you've just been too busy with holiday festivities and that your Christmas was spent surrounded by love. Wishing you a wonderful, prosperous, and very happy and healthy new year, that you reach your goals and that your sons don't take too long to come around to acceptance.Love, -Gail- Added: Saturday, December 26, 2009 2:01pm
