Welcome to June (almost)



May and June are very busy months for me. Along with work, and finishing up things from spring, I'm also pretty involved in the planning of pride month events. For instance, I organize and put on a pretty big,hefty pride event. and during the beginning of the month. And there are so many small things that go into planning it and its sort of stressing me out in combination with just getting back into work and everything.

So I'm taking a lot of time thsi week to get it all mapped out.

It has come to my attention:

That I might want to find alternative sources of clothing to make my ride to and from work a little less dreadful.
For example

So I am taking polls of what people think.. I'm pretty sure all of the femmes in my life would say no to spandex.. however I think if it makes my ride more bareable then I would so do it!

Hes so sweet he gives me a toothache



But really I do have a toothache. Its been there for a bit now. I broke a filling a while back and my left bottom wisdom tooth is acting up. So I called around today and hopefully will have it taken care of soon. There are a few places in town that do a sliding scale. Considering I don't have insurance right now It would be really hard to pay for a filling. But I also can get my teeth cleaned.

My previous dentist, whom I had to get a tooth pulled with was a bad experience all together. My first visit, I showed up on time and waited to be seen for forty-five minutes. Then, I waited another 45 minutes after they took x-rays to hear that they weren't actually going to give me a cleaning there because my gums were too weak.

So the next appointment I had scheduled happened to be on a day where the entire town lost power because of an ice storm. But I called and they said it was still on. I drove all the way out there and sure enough they were closed.

Finally when I got my tooth pulled it was a terrifying experience and they weren't so great at the comforting.

So now I hope to find a nicer, more efficient dentist office.

But, all of this mouth stuff has really given me a kick in the butt to take better care of my teeth. I was never really raised to take much care of my teeth, it wasn't harped on us, and we didn't have dental insurance either so I had a lot of cavities.

Now my teeth are better than ever, but I'm stll having this pain...

but eventually I can have a smile like his

I'm a working girl now




So I am finally working after two months, having lost my job in March. I am biking 5.4 miles each way. This is a lot for me considering its a very up and down hill ride both ways. Also, for the past two days I haven't had a helmet and while the ride there is pretty okay considering the time of day, the ride home is terrifying.

But I have it back now so I will feel a little safer... but drivers are still crazy and I get a lot of beeps. Because the roads are terrible and not meant for bikes.

Also



Maine has now legalized Same sex marriage. This is great news! I haven't been on the Marriage boat the whole time, however after seeing hundreds of people testify about how it being legalized would affect them I had a bit of a change of heart.

I do though, still strongly stick to my beliefs of giving other GLBT issues just as much attention and platform but I also understand that this is a now issue and needs to be addressed now.

We do have a ways to go still because until the next 90 days are up, we have to worry about the opposition coming up with a peoples veto, which they officially filed yesterday. They now have to come up with 40,000 signitures to introduce it on the November ballad.

So its a hold your breath time.

Today

Is a beautiful day. And despite the moon not quite being aligned to my personal likings and kind of throwing things off for me (maybe i should look to see if mercury is in retrograde or I'm just having an awkward day)

So I'm enjoying the Sun. Because I can.

Exciting right?



After nearly two months of making no income and loosing my job at Whole Foods, which I affectionately refer to as, " the hole". I now have a job, working in a kitchen at a local labratory that makes things for hospitals and such.

Maybe now I will be able to afford to pay my bills. Yesterday my phone was shut off and that was the low for me at which point I started to panic.

I would like to move to Denver in August but that won't be possible without money.

So I can breath again.
