Prince Henry woke purpleglitter and me up this morning with his best imitation of an alarm. The bedroom is the only room we have that is appropriate for quarantine, so I guess we have a new alarm clock. He's definitely louder than any of the other birds we've had, even Sir Dubbins.

He's gotten plenty of scritches so far today and while the cage he came in is far from toy deprived, we plan to give him a couple of the birdy booty toys from shadowrabbit. I'm sure he misses his old humans, but I think he'll come to like it here.

I'm having a good time in Missouri. Got to play with my baby nephew Jonas. He's such a doll. He loves to play with toys that spin. He spent the night here at my parents house last night. I hope to see more of him while I'm here.

I also saw met my brother's girlfriend. She's really cool. I'm happy he's found such a good person.

Though I've had a good time there have been issues. I've been more panic attacks than normal, and therefore have been taking more ativan than normal. I also lost my purse on the trip here with $140 in it. That really sucked. Next time I travel I'm getting traveler's checks.

read my last entry, came over and took away the "new toy" (an exacto knife). She also took away the Nyquil and sleeping pills I bought yesterday.

purpleglitter is going to dye my hair in a few minutes. Red. Since my hair was dyed black about a month ago, the roots are starting to come in. The red won't dye over the black, but it will dye the roots. It's a look I've done before, and one I really like.

purpleglitter says my breasts are shrinking because I'm not eating enough. I don't like that. Not one little bit. But letting myself gain weight is so hard. I don't know what to do. I waited so long and fought so hard to get the hormones, I don't want to lose to my eating disorder what they've given me. I don't know how to fight the eating disorder. I need professional help with it, but nobody who can help me is willing to.

I think Cyndi wants to play with the new toy.

I was looking through some pictures and I found this one I took of a cootie in my room on January 7th, 2000. It hasn't been edited or retouched in any way.
