Shades O'Grey hates his job, and hates his wife's job, though her work is far more important than his. His wife works for San Francisco Night Ministry, providing pastoral care to street people between 10pm and 2am, so Shades has to go to bed alone. He misses the physical presence of his wife.
Shades is also painfully aware of what a complete and utter (explicative deleted) up he feels like.
However, his hair is growing out nicely and he will be starting a regimented diet on his reBirthday. Hopefully, he'll look cuter cross-dressed than he looks as a bio-male.
