"I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor

Funny, I have one bumper sticker that just doesn't fit in...

Update 25-Nov-2018: added photo of the back of my car ("Lily") showing my bumper stickers.

I woke up this morning at 2:30 AM with severe pain in my left foot.  Some sort of cramp in my left foot I suppose.  It lasted for several minutes, until I finally got some medicine and it calmed down.

But then I was fully awake and started thinking about things.  I realized I was definitely going to have to ask the "Good Vibe Tribe" and the "SL, UT Grrrl Gang" to help me with the Genderevolution Conference this year.

This will be my 4th year with the committee and getting the donations for the raffle, coffee, etc.  I've now decided that this will be my last year.  It has taken more and more effort each year and, given my deteriorating health, I just don't have it to give anymore.

I *LOVE* the Genderevolution Conference, but it is a LOT of work.   At the dinner with the keynote speakers last year I mentioned to Jenn about how much harder it seemed last year.  She said "I'm glad you said that" because she felt exactly the same.

I've also decided I have to severely limit my direct involvement with politics.  All the stress from the constant barrage of attacks on transgender and LGBTQ people and terrible acts from that fucker in the White House and his horrible administration has, without a doubt, negatively impacted my health.

I feel like music and singing have been the only things that have saved me this year.  Next year I feel like I must limit my activities to things that give back to me as much as they take, like the Rock-n-Roll Camp for Girls and Womyn (which is inclusive of transgender and non-binary people).





Last week Ducky and Bunny played "Karaoke Classics" at both Handle Bar and the SunTrapp.  The song I drew at Handle Bar was this one.  I haven't been sure I could call this a "favorite" song before, but I've decided now it is.
