An update on me...

[Michelle_P]

And even more twists and turns...

I did another 2 hours of electrolysis Monday.  Ow.  But, my face was completely cleared in the session.  Yay!  That is a great feeling.

I'm doing a vegetarian dinner for at least 50 on Saturday, with salad, sides, and dessert.  That is keeping me pretty busy right there.  I have a killer vegan+gluten free chocolate chip cookie recipie I'm trying out.  They are rich little cookies, though.  About 140 calories for each little cookie!  Sweet potato casserole, also vegan and gluten free, and cornbread, both a vegan+gluten free version and a vegetarian (egg and cheese) version.

Then Sunday I have my first shot at being Worship Associate, which has me very nervous.  So many details to get right!


And then there's my personal life, which I need to talk about.  I have a recent change...

My girlfriend. 

Just being able to type that makes me happy!  This had been an unexpected development for both of us.  We are trans women, lesbian in orientation, and in our 60s.  That is effectively three strikes against us.  Neither of us expected to meet someone.  I certainly never expected to meet someone who would have the romantic interest in me that I need to connect. (I'm a demisexual as part of my orientation.). I never expected to fall for someone, and have them fall for me.

But, in spite of the odds, for some reason, it happened.

We've got these ridiculously strong feelings toward each other, but really don't quite know what to do with them.  Since they surfaced, she's left on an extended trip, but we communicate several times a day.  Neither of us knows where this will lead, what we should do next, or any of that practical stuff.  We are both just enjoying the ride, being able to experience feelings that I thought were dead and gone the past 40 years.

It's one heck of a ride.  Thank you, @Laurie !

Yes.  THAT Laurie.  The one the honey badgers tracked down.  The one who put Stephanie on the fridge.  Our Laurie, for reasons beyond my understanding, is romantically attracted to me, and I to her.

It defies explanation.  So, I won't bother.  It just is.

That's great!  Now you can rein in that girl, lock up her truck and domesticate her.  And maybe work on her Ice Box Fetish

Best to you both!!!!!!

Yep, she put a spell on me. Michelle is my reason to live.

Again, I'm soooooooooooooo happy for you both.  But, if I may be so bold to make a suggestion?

If, your Frig desires start popping up, at the very least get a queen size mattress and both be on top of the frig!!!!!!

Huge hugs! My eyes are leaking Laurie, are you surprised?

This makes me so happy that I can hardly stand it! Well, not the fridge part, but the rest is just awesome!

Congratulations you two!

Isn't it great!!!!!  I just hope that they get a queen mattress and share the top of the frig together!

On a fridge?? Well do as you will, I like the arboreal version, I guess I'm just a traditionalist?

Really am so happy for you both, I guess I already said that however  :-)

Warm Hugs from chilly Cambridge

Why does Grace Slick singing "Somebody to love"  keep popping into my head when I think of these two???

[davina61]

Don't you want somebody to love?  Don't you need somebody to love?
You better find somebody to love!

[Saha]

How wonderful, Laurie and Michelle!

[JulieOnHerWay]

 
YYYYEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!! Michelle and Laurie!
With this, us unattached find a glimmer of hope.

Grace Slick, Jefferson Airplane?  Oh, my, I saw them playing at Winterland so many times.  First time was at the Human Be-In, where I was a 14 year old girl.  (This was in the period where I'd flee the East Bay; "Mom, going to see a friend, back late!", hop on the bus, pay an extra dime for a trans-Bay transfer, and go over to San Francisco.  When I got there, I'd duck into a restroom and presto-chango, a 14 year old girl walked out after I changed my top.)

Goood times!  Dinners with some random tribe in The Haight, great music, totally accepted as is.

"You better find somebody to love!"

OK, check!

I loved Winterland...."have your tickets out and ready"!
Can't tell you how many concerts I saw there.
Mostly the Grateful Dead!
