The thing I think of about Kansas is how everyone suddenly picks up and moves, sometimes just across the street ...

.. ahem ..

this was just a blatant nothing post to let Sarah know that I read her thread too :)
I left the door open, only a few came through. such is my life.

It's where people constantly talk about chalk and fictional bird species constantly.  Especially if they never went to the school that uses this as a mascot.

Fictional?! There're jayhawks all over the place. What do you think the flying monkeys eat?  :laugh:

Thanks for chiming in, Faith! It's always good to know you're all out there.

So I'm still waiting for my actual license to show up, but I went over to Social Security & got my name changed with them (now I'm waiting on that to come in the mail, too!). I almost couldn't, because apparently there's something wrong with the Kansas temporary licenses that makes them invalid as proper identification (just Kansas, every other state is supposedly OK....). I managed to scrounge up enough items to prove I was me (oddly, the note from my doctor was the key). Unfortunately, they can't change the gender they have listed without a corrected birth certificate. I ran over to the local department of health (I was in Missouri for this, anyway) and asked, and a very nice woman gave me some documents to fill out and a phone number to call to get the ball rolling on that. Didn't have a chance to call today, but I'll get that done tomorrow during lunch. At least my parents did one thing right - having me in Missouri (even though it was only 3 blocks in from the state line!).

Meanwhile, I have 2 shiny new debit cards with the correct name on them now, and today I got my first paycheck made out to Sarah. Squeee!!!!  Oh, I also got my very first piece of junk mail addressed to Sarah! I'm actually going to keep it as a memento.  :laugh:

I tried to get my records at the doctor's changed over, but I have to do that in person. I did manage to get a prescription for some emla cream, though. It's sitting here, waiting to be slathered on before my next electrocutioner session (Monday).

Thank you! I don't know if I feel like I'm all that inspiring, but I'm happy and enjoying life! Mostly. There's always going to be bumps (thus my thread title....).

Yes, yes bumpy road. I'm on the wagon too, I crashed literally and figuratively already and I'm no where near your accomplishments! Keep it up you deserve it [emoji4]

So I finally worked up the courage to send that letter to who I hope is my long-lost sister. Fingers crossed!

I finally remembered to empty my car's trunk and get rid of all these ill-fitting rags I had back there. Should have done that weeks ago, but just kept forgetting. All went to charity, so hopefully some needy people get them.

Wow, just this morning I took 7 tall kitchen bags full of man levi's, and suites to GoodWill.  They'd be sitting in the corner of my bedroom for close to a month now I think.

I didn't have nearly that many clothes, and I never owned any suits. I still have a jacket & heavy coat, but I didn't drop them off yet since I keep forgetting to wash them first.

So, as I mentioned before, I need my birth certificate changed before I can change my gender with social security. I called the records people in Missouri, and they say I need a court order to change the gender. Well, the judge at my name change hearing says that Kansas judges don't have the authority to issue those. I didn't need it anyway, for my driver's license. So now I have to figure out how to get that court order.

I've read through this thread (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,220110.msg2021217.html)), and it looks like I'm going to have to hire a lawyer to get this done, which right now is beyond my means. If I can find a job in Kansas City ever I could actually move to the Missouri side, so then I would be a resident & could get the court order. If anyone else has any more advice, let me know! Please & thank you!
