On life's bumpy road

Wow!  Congratulations!

I'm thinking there must be something in the electrons here...

Megan, Laurie, Michelle, thank you all!

Hey I know Alexa!  We did voice training together.

Talk about a small world.  Congrats!

Thanks! I wondered if you might.

I'm still amazed at how few trans people I meet in KC who have heard of Susan's. I guess TTI is enough for most (though too expensive for me!).

The transgender institute, a therapist in Kansas City.

Thanks Allison! I'm continually amazed, myself.

Spent the weekend with my Girlfriend. (I LOVE SAYING THAT!!!) Have I mentioned I'm in love? 
Alexa & I are now a couple on Facebook.  That makes it truly official, right?

Anyway, Sunday was cold and snowing. SNOWING IN APRIL. Sigh.....  Anyway, I've successfully lured her cat Nigel to the dark side. Or am I the light side? .... eh, either way. 



Then Alexa joined us. Nigel was not amused.


I swear, that cat is the most loving animal I've ever met. He's just so happy to have someone pet him. My hand however is covered in scratches. He loves to grab your hand and guide it to where he wants to be petted.

My tiny sweet cat that I lost about two years ago did that, it was the most precious thing. Hurt like crazy though. (Also, as I lost weight I realized I have extensive cat scratch scarring. So that's funny. )

And I am so happy you are so happy!!!!!!!! It really warms my heart. Watching you (and everyone that welcomed me so warmly way back when now as well ) blossom has been such an amazing source of inspiration for me!!

I've never met a cat before that did that! Living with 2 mostly aloof cats for 16 years has made me forget how wonderful a real lap cat can be.

And thank you!

Thanks Bobbisue! I've never felt anything like this before, and I was really surprised it happened so quickly. It hurts so much living 100 miles apart. At least we get weekends together. I have got to find a job and get moved.

[Sarah_P]

Wow, been a while since I've posted on my own thread. 

Overall things have been great, except for getting turned down for yet another library job (plus several IT jobs that just sent a rejection email). If it weren't for Alexa I think I'd have sunk deep into depression again. I'm (mostly) OK now, though I'll feel better when I see her again tomorrow night.

I'm probably just going to have to look for some crappy job to get by until I can find something better.

I finally got an email back from my sister!! She was happy to hear from me, but I get the feeling she isn't 100% behind my transition news. She basically said she's happy that I've found what makes me happy, and that's OK with me. This is the first time we've spoken in 20 years and all.

I'm also going to try to contact my aunt who lives in Missouri. I've got her number, just haven't called yet.

Oh, and I finally started selling my stuff on e-bay. Well, posting it. Haven't sold anything yet, but we'll see.

[Roll]

Sorry the job search is going the way it is. :/ Glad you have Alexa to keep positive!!!

Hope it goes well with your aunt! I'm also glad your sister seems to be at supportive!

But yeah, I'm about to start really listing my big ticket stuff on ebay too. I'm dreading dealing with it but... its do or die time, and I need the money to live off with putting so much into transplants.

Hi Sarah,
I'm sorry you are having difficulties with the job hunting. Don't lose hope, keep looking. There is a job out there somewhere with your name on it.

Good news with your sister. It has been a long time since you have last spoken. She responded by accepting you and happy for you. Hopefully you will now get the chance to become closer as sisters. I hope it goes well with your aunt too.

Good luck selling your stuff! I hope you get lots of money. [emoji846]

Thanks gals! I'm definitely feeling better today. I'll keep looking on the job front. I'm sure I'll find something, just need to expand my searching I think.

But yeah, I'm about to start really listing my big ticket stuff on ebay too. I'm dreading dealing with it but... its do or die time, and I need the money to live off with putting so much into transplants.

My biggest ticket stuff will be the hardest things to part with, but potentially giving me all the money I might need to move and start savings for GCS. I've got several sketches by famous Japanese artists that I might end up selling (especially since one is signed to my deadname - which also makes it harder to sell). There's a couple I can't sell, because I promised the artist I wouldn't. I've also got some original animation cels for a few series that might go over moderately well.

Hi Sarah,

I've been on the run so long that I'm way behind on everyone's threads. I'm so happy for you and Alexa, though I have to admit that when I first saw you mention her, I thought you were having a weird affair with an Amazon Echo.

Don't worry about the job. You're beautiful and talented, and someone will finally see past the acronyms on the resumé and hire the person behind it.

Good luck on selling your stuff. I need to get going on that kind of thing, too. Need to pay for hair transplants.

I haven't seen Ashley for a while, so I'll  say this for her: Onward we go, dear sister!

[Sarah_P]

Thanks Steph! Believe me, I've made a few Alexa jokes with her. They usually result in a death glare and/or punch in the arm. Or worse, but I won't mention that here.

I know I'll find a job eventually, it's just disappointing.

Sometime soon I'll be helping my mom with a garage sale, and in addition to selling a few things of my own, she's giving me 10% Of the sales for helping. That'll help with funds, too.

Ashley? She probably got lost in the bikini section of some big store.
