45 states down, 5 to go

I am in Texas. The TS is pretty bad. I still have a headache. I was going to stop near Houston and camp. But it is raining terribly here. I am going to push on to Austin. I have some friends there. I have been doing a lot of thinking about my life during this trip. Many hours alone in a car will do that to you. I always wanted to do something important with my life. I always assumed I would when I was younger. As I got older I stopped thinking that way. And then I thought about writing about TS. Maybe I can help other people. I can help others deal with their TS by sharing the knowledge I have gained from fighting mine.
But I don't want to be known as a touretter who made something of himself. And I feel like that is always how it will be. Can't I just be me? Ha. yes, I guess I can. And me has TS. I am tourettes. Hear me roar, you normal bastards.
Ok, back to the car. I have some driving to do.

California is beautiful...today it's a bit cloudy but it will clear tomorrow..and the weekend just looks even better. I think you can help so many people. Jeff was the only adult at a TSA dinner and it was great. watching him talk about his TS, with comfort and ease made me feel proud and happy for him. If you ever need a helping hand, you have myself and jeff.

I can't believe all that has happened! I took my kids on vacation last week and I come back and your whole life has changed!

I can't believe you were in Orlando this whole time. I thought you were in NY? You were only a mere 30 minutes from me.

Moving across the country with your girlfriend? Okay, this relationship is serious and I wish you would tell her about the TS. If she is willing to let you move in with her, then she loves you...a LOT! I know you are afraid that she will think you are a "wierdo", but that is exactly what she will think if you don't tell her. I think she would take the news with great compassion and understanding. Do you really want to hear her say "stop it" all the time? She will (out of reflex), if you don't explain it to her.

I am afraid now. Because when you are with your girlfriend, you don't blog. Please stay on with us. Because of you, so many of us have insight to the TS world. We need this insight to help our family members. Please don't go away.

I can't believe all of this is happening so fast. What about your job, did you just up and quit?

Well, be safe driving, take care, and I will expect an email from you soon on my myspace!

And tell her! I know she will be so accepting and you will feel better and have less stress. Do it for you!
